I would assume it is silky smooth as on the iPad Air, as they share everything but 100Mhz frequency in the A7.
The UI could do with being a bit bigger. The buttons have tool tips when you press them but you wouldn't know it because being in the tiniest font imaginable they're completely obscured by your finger! Likewise the shoulder cam is a bit too small to be of any real value. One other thing irritating me: leftover references to mouse and keyboard inputs.
LOL didn't notice. I hope in a universal update. After seeing WHQ (here there is no text even), XCOM or impossible tasks as Battle if the Bulge...I know it can be done.
Works amazing on my ipad mini, 1st gen. Awesome game and a lot of fun. Going to get into multiplayer this weekend.
I have the PC version where you can see the shoulder cam just fine, and I turned it off after a while because I would rather see all of the screen. Plus, if you turn up the animation speed so that the game is no longer annoyingly slow, the action in the shoulder cam goes so fast you might as well not even have it. Not to mention, the stuff you would really want to see on the cam, the kills, goes into a separate cutscene anyway and you don't even get to see it on the cam. Doubt it, but you never know. I guess it depends on whether or not they want to spend the resources to redesign the interface.
I have a question about the missions:are the Genestealers always at the same position when you replay a mission?What i mean is,how is the replay value after you finished all missions? Will it quickly become repetitive? I really like the look and the (isometric)view/athmosphere.But i wasn't a great fan of Warhammer quest on iOS.Although i love Xcom,BoB,DoM,BA,B&C,Hunters etc...
I'm pretty sure the genestealers are random, but on top of that you have the dice rolls which makes things especially tense and random, I've just played the first suicide mission again and got absolutely swamped by genestealers because one guys gun jammed and then he got taken out by a genestealer from behind and let all his friends through, after that they just ripped my team apart from behind I just had a bug, started an online game I chose the genestealers and the other guy placed his terminators then when it got to my turn I couldn't do anything, couldn't place anything, couldn't move anything, the only ui buttons that worked were the set in the bottom right corner so I could look at the map and quit. Back to single player for now anyway I've got traps to set and space hulks to cleanse. "For the emperor!" We really need some iPad wallpapers for space hulk too
Restarted the game, now I have the 3 prequel missions (tutorial) avaible. Having a BLAST playing this, can't stop. Maybe I'm just old and I love these kind of old school turn based games, dunno...I do not know what many PC reviews were talking about. Nice touch, the main screen reacts when you tilt the iPad. I've noticed you can't add friends with the nickname, you must use email. Back in the lonelyness of the Space Hulk.
So what is the estimated length of the gameplay? 3 tutorials 12 missions Plus DLC Sounds like a good lengthy single player game. I'm currently playing Phoenix Wright which estimates having about 45+ hours of content. I recently finished xcom which again was a nice lengthy game. Space Hulk looks like a good lengthy game with missions plus DLC. So can anyone confirm this?
Well the first couple of missions took me about 10mins then missions three and four took closer to 20mins I think, The missions seem to be getting bigger as you go, so it looks like there's plenty of gameplay, put that with the luck of the dice as to if you'll even finish the mission and that adds more time I bought the extra missions too and I'm only four missions done of the damnation campaign I'm not getting tired of the terminators voices Seriously loving this game, might be my GOTY
@oooooomonkey: thanks for your impressions,one more question:how long is a mission roundabout and can you save in a mission?Oops,sorry.Two questions
I'd say 10mins + for the missions. And yes you can save mid missions. Edit. To add to this I've just been playing mission 5 decoy and was 33minutes in, about another 2 or 3 turns from winning and Bam! Gun jam and weapon malfunction another guy dies mission failure. So yes there's plenty of play time here
I thought they said this was coming to iPhone too Is it still coming out to iPhone? Hope so as I loved the board games
Does anyone else have a problem loading a previously saved game? I can see the saved game but when I press 'load' nothing happens. On an ipad air. Thanks in advance.
