I know marketing content is always buzzword-infused and hyperbolic in nature, and always subject to the subjective, but this is wrong by any collectively accepted definition of the phrase This is a casual TBS, with comparably simple combat mechanics, very limited interactions and choice at any given point in combat, and resulting limitations in tactical possibilities. (I'm not so sure you are doing yourself any long-term favours with your App Store description in general. There's very little - if anything - that's "innovative" about Tavern Brawls' combat interactions, there really isn't an "endless" array of possibilities, neither by absolute meaning or TBS standards, and the game only offers one game mode split across AI and PvP. But then again, if it gets players downloading your game, perhaps that trumps any negative brand perceptions the incongruency between your App Store text and actual gameplay might create.) ALL THIS NASTINESS SAID , this is a very, very nice mini TBS, highly accessible and charming and polished and addictive! And the hero variety and resulting teambuilding strategy it offers is no marketing hyperbole! For anyone who doesn't require a minimum of Ravenmark/FFT/Templar Battleforce/Demon's Rise-levels of number-crunching, longterm-planning fun to appreciate the "S" in their TBS (which I do), I highly recommend Tavern Brawl - Tactics.
Along with a considered, insightful and honest response, there's always a certain eloquence to your posts Ayjona that makes them refreshing to read. I applaud you on your grasp of language and level of literacy, not many take the time (myself included!) to write like you do. Ever considered journalism or game reviewing as a career? Well said.
+1 to this response. Ayjona gave a very fair and articulated summary of the game. I also like my TBS games with a fair bit of "S" in them but there are times I like to just take things a bit easier and this game fills that bill perfectly. It's just a shame I don't use my iPhone as my main gaming device.
Hey, Ayjona. Thank you so much for your honest reply. We do hope to create an "S" game that isn't so heavy like most so that everybody can enjoy some tactics more casually. As you can see, it's still a soft launch, so many things need to be improved and optimized, and we are on the way trying hard. Since we are a small studio, we do it step by step. We feel honored and lucky to have so much attention and suggestions for Tavern Brawl - Tactics, and if I may, that's no nastiness, more like treasure to us. Only feedback like this would help us, or even guide us to work on the right path. Again we truly appreciate it and we'll try our best to gradually make Tavern Brawl - Tactics close enough to "endless" and real TBS.
