Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #3 Exact-Psience, Jun 19, 2013 I've played both extensively, and this is much better IMO. But, both games are pretty good. Vovin ð® Spam Police ð Nov 28, 2009 6,514 3 38 Germany #4 Vovin, Jun 19, 2013 I call dibs! I was really looking forward to a new, unique iOS title like this.

Jazzpha Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2012 776 16 18 #6 Jazzpha, Jun 19, 2013 Good to hear! Mostly I was just worried about WHQ's text and UI being too cramped on my phone, though. killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #7 killercow, Jun 19, 2013 Can you post some more detailed impressions or is there an NDA restricting you from talking about it? Is the story any good? Is it optimized/smooth in terms of framerate? Are the touch controls decent? If you could answer those that would be great chaos_envoys Well-Known Member Jan 1, 2011 1,330 0 36 Medical Doctor Pokke Village, Indonesia #8 chaos_envoys, Jun 19, 2013 Is this a diablo like or infinity blade like game? I really ineterested in this Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #9 Exact-Psience, Jun 19, 2013 Havent gone far into the story yet, but it doesnt feel generic. Game is butter smooth on my ipad mini. Touch controls are good. Let's just say, my first impression when i loaded up the game was... "WOAH CRISIS CORE" I've got a meeting in a few, so imma keep it at that. All i can say is that the game is really good, and totally worth the asking price, even more. killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #10 killercow, Jun 19, 2013 Ahah Okay, a must buy then. Thanks! Vovin ð® Spam Police ð Nov 28, 2009 6,514 3 38 Germany #11 Vovin, Jun 19, 2013 Wrong. This week, it's: Ohnoooes, geez, another must buy then. Dammit. killercow Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2009 3,784 3 38 https://twitter.com/killercow #12 killercow, Jun 19, 2013 And there are two instabuy titles still missing that are supposed to be released tomorrow! (Home and Icebreaker) Jazzpha Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2012 776 16 18 #13 Jazzpha, Jun 19, 2013 Those sound like some pretty solid impressions, EP. Thanks! While I am a little concerned about the episodic nature of the game, I trust there's more than enough here to make it stand on its own rather than seeming like a prologue of sorts. Definitely going to check this one out!

As it stands only Xcom, Castlerama, the new Catan card game and Icebreakers are my must buys tonight. I watched the one video on the upcoming thread and it gave a bad impression of a stylish but bland game to me. I really need to see what this game actually plays like and not just what it looks like in stills before I am sold... dexter77 Well-Known Member Jan 15, 2011 389 0 0 #15 dexter77, Jun 19, 2013 any chance for a video?

Here is a new release trailer, and a second video giving a tutorial on how the combat works Hopefully these perk up your interest!

The link for the video is in the upcoming thread for this of you want to look for it. Edit JK look above this post haha. Why does my iPad autocorrect jk to JFK? Brrobotix Well-Known Member Oct 24, 2011 1,524 0 0 Under your bed #18 Brrobotix, Jun 19, 2013 When you guys say it's episodic, will you be just updating the app for free, adding new episodes via IAP, or will they be separate apps? Nader Well-Known Member Mar 6, 2012 137 2 18 #19 Nader, Jun 19, 2013 At the moment we are thinking separate apps, but we might consider doing it as IAP bought from within the first episode. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #20 Exact-Psience, Jun 19, 2013 ^I hope the game gets the attention it deserves and helps you as devs to be able to fund more great projects!
