Well unlocked the second gate - first enemy I fight.........has 25 shield!.....wtf. Now grinding for the 7k weapon......hmmm. Annoying.
I picked this up and after playing a few stages I reinstalled Sword and Poker 2 just to see if I was misremembering how good that was. I have to say I think I will just replay S&P 2 rather than go back to this. Somehow they missed the magic of the first two games. I do hope it will do well enough for them to make more because I do love the mechanics of the game. I just hope they get back to the games roots.

For zone 52, the monster with a golden circle beneath it doesn't drop anything. Got fooled into fighting it thinking it drops an item or magic. Also, you will most likely need to use 2 or 3 refill tokens for that stage, which kinda sux -_-;; I finally beat it and I'm done with this game. Apparently they are going to add in new stages but I saw everything the game has to offer. (Plus the weapons that gets unlocked in stage 52 sucks unless you're willing to pay 20 bucks for the good weapon that will most likely get replaced anyway...) I hope the older Sword and Poker titles gets HD support. I would really like to try them out based on the positive feedback it got from the people here. The current iteration would've been fine if only they toned down the greediness. Weapons should all be unlocked by gold. IAP spells, refill tokens, and revivies are ok-ish as long as the level difficulty is not too steep (I.E. most levels, with the exception of some boss stages, should be cleared without having to use a 3rd refill token)
The more I play the more I am enjoying this one, wish they would get rid of the timers. But amazing graphics and fun like the original.
Facebook friend I play daily and would love some FB friends to share keys and extra cards with each other. Feel free to add me: https://www.facebook.com/billy.pope.180
I got to level 44 and stopped playing - too much loading, coming out of the game back and forth to get good cards from the beginning just wound me up. Only knows what the last few stages will be like. Enough is enough!
Sorry I can't check since I have it bought. Game has a glitch on my old save so now it always asks me to log in to GC EVERY TIME and it's so annoying. If I hit yes it says I can't. Hit no and it explains what happens if I hit yes. EVERY TIME. I complained to Konami about this bug over 2 months ago and every 2 weeks I get an email saying "sorry we're busy. please wait longer." I literally have a bunch of these in my inbox. Seriously they screwed this game up. It even loads slow on the iphone 6. Unbelievable for a game that's 2D. Infinity Blade 3 loads up at the same speed. WTF Konami.
With the updates is there a way to move to level 53? I don't see one but health says next unlock is at level 58.
Anybody still playing this? They have rebalanced things fairly well in the last few patches so it's far less offensive in terms of the F2P hooks. They are also running an event for another seventeen days where you can battle as many times as you want in towers with money instead of energy and you can cash out very well in it (ex: costs 50 gold to play, lowest cash prize is 200 gold). If anybody wants to link Facebook to trade cards/keys, PM me.
I've put a lot of time into this in the last week and got some friends in on it too. The Bonus Card mechanic is okay, but it's more of a desperation move than anything since you can still draw any crummy card. And if you use your bonus card, you're only getting one new card on the next turn. And it's discarded if you don't use it then and there. Still, in a bad situation it can be a way to absolutely give you a quick save. Friends can also send you two extra energy a day. With three or four people running the map at once, I get almost a free refill. At this point, if they ever reduce the price of gems or put more reasonable means of getting them in-game, I will have no real issues with this reboot. I guess it would be nice to use Game Center for the social link stuff instead of (or in addition to) Facebook too. Also a reminder that you have less than two weeks for the tower event. I'm about to enter the second tower, so I'll report back if it offers better gems (I got something like eighty from the first tower, which is still pretty low but given their premium, I'm happy with them).
Look at the weapon stats screen, any weapons that cab burn will have a "fire" icon next to some of its hands.
Rainbow Sword! I have unlocked the Rainbow Sword in the final tower (Shadow Fortress) and made a video for anyone who is interested in the weapon stats. Took me at least 50 times of beating the tower to finally get the rainbow sword! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Q1srfCyr4 __________________
Congrats!! I haven't beaten the second floor yet (but I haven't tried many times). The attack numbers of Rainbow Blade are lower, but the easy Paralyze and Absorb abilities should make it the best weapon in the game. On another note, I've activated more than a hundred Bonus Cards and haven't gotten the achievement for it. It took me quite a bit after twenty to get that achievement, so I'm curious how it "counts" this? I sent a message to the developer on Facebook but did not get a response. Oh well. I get three or four a day so I'm sure it'll unlock eventually.
Actually, the Holy Katana is quite a bit better than the Rainbow Blade. In fact, if you go by weapon order, there are 5 weapons better than the Rainbow Blade. I do agree with you about the absorb weapon effect, but the Holy Katana also has that ability as well and does much more damage, however it costs 2,275 gems! If you want that one you'll be boosting for a long time to get a few gems here or there or paying for it. For convenience, here is a table of the top 6 weapons in the game: Weapons from left to right are: Rainbow Blade Auric Projestor Broad Spear (1,050 Gems) Ice Pick (37,843 coins) Battle Axe (was around 32k coins) Holy Katana (2,275 Gems) __________________
Using WILD Not sure if this has been mentioned before. For example, youre looking to make a full house with a 4 in your hand and a WILD card joker. You touch the WILD button and it scrolls through the cards. Sometimes, of course, it decides to land on the 4 you already have busting your chance to make the full house. However, if you drag the 4 onto the board (leaving 3 cards in your hand) the WILD button is still active. You touch it and it will change one of the other cards and then you drag that onto the board to make your full house. I dont think this was a feature of S&P 1 and 2 so it took my ages to notice. It makes completing the King Of Game tasks achievable in the early stages without using Miracle cards. Swap plus WILD and a paired hand will usually get the job done. --
