Universal Random Heroes - (by Ravenous Games) [Universal]

I'm using an iPad and I find the controls spacing to be Fine.

 

This is good to hear.

Sanuku, how were the controls for you?

 

Different characters give you better health and agility.

 

And Attack Damage. If the different stats are similar to The Blocks Cometh, then there should be subtle but significant differences between the costumes.

Still havent bought one yet coz i bought me a shotgun, coz i prefer Boom Boom over Pew Pew

 

Ha, ha! I'll be careful not to be critical of games in the future.

How is the Shogun?I was gonna save up for the rocket launcher but the Shogun temps me.

 

Shoots in 3 directions (diagonals and a straight one) but the angles are small that you can let all 3 shots hit a target from about 3 to 4 squares away. With that, it's pretty powerful. And since you'll be jumping around much to avoid getting damaged, id say having a stronger but slower shooting weapon can be effective.Im excited to find out how other powerful (but slow) weapons are in the late game. Suits my playstyle i guess...

 

Perfect. But I have those middlesize long fingers you get from playing Basketball during your Childhood so I can grab Ravenous Games faster when I see those on the Apple Store.

 

Game Impressions

Nice "feel" and controls work well (on the iPhone.) Moderately IAP influenced coin rewards. Criminally overlooked reality of essential control options on the iPad; forget this is "universal" unless you're willing to play with the iPad placed on a table top or happen to have 4 inch+ long thumbs. Probably the most moronic AI I have seen in any platformer ever, (and I played platformers in the 80s/90s) "balanced" by enemies possessing disproportionate amounts of life. Face it: you'll still buy this.

 

Goombas arent moronic. And they even walk straight and fall off ledges.

 

I love it!!
Gabriens' comments have solidified my wanting this game....I feel extra moronic today!

 

Any game with Goombas in it wins my heart over every time

 

Goombas had personality. And a great supporting cast.

 

Stayed up till 12am. Can't find this in the UK app store?

Edit - got it. Direct link worked but not searching the app store

 

This game looks sweet, will be first Ravenous Games purchase for me

 

Impossible! The guy above you clearly states it's fine.

In my opinion, aside from the controls, it's a solid game. However, the gameplay itself doesn't feel nearly as "tight" as LoE.

 

I do agree in spite of the negatives I'm having fun with it. Particularly as after encountering the first boss the IAP also becomes significantly less of an issue.

 

Achievements.....achievements everywhere. How many times will I unlock training wheels?

 

Man I wish I could play this one. Too bad my iPod is of the "collectible" variety.
