Universal Panthera Frontier (By Ayopa Games)

Answer is in the first post of this thread.

Edit: meant to quote hoodwinkedfool.

 

Plays pretty much like FTL lite with anthro characters, sort of FTL meets Sine Mora. IAP doesn't seem at all necessary and my crew members have been resurrecting after battles without it. Plays fine on a 7 Plus.

I do really miss being able to pause, though. I'm finding it a little too hectic to do crew management being stuck in real time.

 

Looks like cross between FTL and Cosmonautica.

Hope the Iap isn't needed at all

 

Hi L.Lawliet, the game is designed for both mobile and tablet. We hope you enjoy the game on your iPhone

 

Thanks for pointing this out. #
That's the deal breaker for me. I'm getting old so the reflexes are not what they used to be. Much prefer turn based or at least a pause for combat.

 

Anyone tried this on a screen the size of a 6s? I'm intrigued by this game but if it doesn't look/play well on a small screen I'd have to reconsider, since my 6s is my primary gaming platform.

 

Can you recruit humans/aliens/robots.... or is it all just animals?
It's the animals that ruins it a bit for me, as prefer humans/aliens/robots etc..
But may still get it as the gameplay looks good

 

Hi! There are robots, but they are also animal. I will discuss with the team and will let you know if there are more in the future. Anyway, thanks for asking

 

Anyone willing to post a gameplay video?

I know the trailer shows some clips of gameplay, but i'd like to understand the pace of the game during combat. Also an FTL-lover, worried about lack of pause.

 

Thanks for all of the enthusiasm and love for Panthera Frontier by the way TA forum crew, it's overwhelming and very rewarding for the Extend Interactive developers who have worked so hard on the game for so long. We are delighted with the results of the launch and really appreciate all of the support! Big thanks!

 

Thanks for the reply.
So you may be adding humans/aliens/robots to the game?
Be cool if you made the same game but called it "human edition" which used humans instead of animals

 

We understand the sentiment, and we have agreed with Extend Interactive that the unique IAPs are being removed from the game and the content will be accessible by playing the game normally now. All current players and future players will have access to the same elements via playing the game. The new build will be submitted late today or early tomorrow, so will be live by the weekend.

As other folks have said, great games such as the Kingdom Rush series have used our current approach but we want to ensure as many people as possible enjoy the game, so we are making this change. Thanks to everyone that has already purchased the game and hopefully undecideds will also come on board and enjoy it too - see what everyone is raving (positively) about!

Thanks for listening and for supporting indie games like Panthera Frontier, we hugely appreciate it!

 

Hi Quoad, in fact a player said that this IAP was bugged. We therefore unchecked the "Cleared for Sale" box in iTunes Connect, hoping to make the IAP un-purchasable. We didn't know it would set the price to $0.00 though! This is not deliberate, but is a glitch in the iTunes Connect set-up. We hope you understand. We are removing the unique IAPs in the next day or so in any case and integrating the content into the main game itself.

Cheers,
Johnny

 

Aces, thanks!

 

Just for this, i am right now buying to show my respect and support to you with action and not mere words.
Hopefully more people will do too, who like me, were on the fence for the IAPs.
And as a side note, this proves the value of TA forums - at least to me, and hopefully to more buyers and developers

 

I'm not entering the IAP good/bad debate, I was sold by the first quote in this message from the developer, and I'm an avid FTL fan who wanted to play it on my iPhone SE, so I'm taking the plunge with this one.

Since I'm more of a casual player and like easier gaming, I guess I'll also buy the IAP's offered (the one-time IAP, not the currency ones I mean).

I hope this is a good game which gives me plenty of hours of FTL-ish gameplay while travelling to/from work by train this summer I'll (hopefully) come back here and give impressions about real-time gameplay, because I also loved the "pause-to-think" button in FTL. @Devs: maybe you could add an easy mode with such a pause button in battle? (Talking without knowledge here, just from the thread's comments).

 

Did he say that all IAP's will be removed? I missed that post. I guess I was saturated with so much IAP debate... EDIT: OK, just saw the post under mine...

 

Seriously coolmove. Thanks for responding and listening.


Everyone else buy this.

 

Has anyone tried this on a small iPhone (5, 5S, SE)? I've got an iPhone SE and I'm worried it'll be too small on it.
