Really liking the look and feel of this. Combat is fun. Curious how long a play through might take? Screen doesn't rotate, but I don't care. Love Tin Man
So what is the incentive of playing this over and over. I am only to Grishnak on two differ play throughs with different characters. It's the same experience. It isn't that far off from the books. Not knocking it, it's an amazing version of a classic. But the fighting patterns and every other detail are exactly the same.
Wow. I probably spent too much time on this today Great game... says I'm top of the leaderboards, but I can't upload the photo.
Inkle's gamebook apps were so much better than Tin Man's previous efforts and they're desperately playing catchup. Frankly the result just feels like a cheap knockoff.
How do you even rate this game? I've never been able to click the Rate This App button through the forums Apparently I have given it 3 stars... WTF? I'd like to give it 5
I've yet to buy this, but is it possible to unlock additional content through regular repeated playthroughs, or is everything else IAP only?
Impressions I feel this playing more like a RPG, with a DM "reading out", "describing the situation" to me while I make my moves, than any gamebook I played. Tactical combat is really tactical and it is fun. It is a we-go type combat which you plot your action and both side show the action at the same time and resolve at the same time. So, you need to anticipate the enemy(s) next move(s). Employ your special skils properly to gain edge. I prefer this over combat mode used in the Socerey! series. The graphics is highly detailed but it is kinda stock-like and you really have to read the texts to get the immersion. One nice little feature is you can select the font type (two) and change the font size to your liking! Great for old-age player with a small screen!
Why are the ratings poor for this? I always imagined when it came out that it would score highly and be an instabuy.
WTH? This game was co-written by Steve Jackson. Certainly different than Sorcery in overall feel but the writing is up there with Inkle's Sorcery games.
Totally 5 stars material Bought the complete pack but haven't got to play with other char, is the add on char got extra flavor text?or even different story? Hopefully they will add: - Screen rotation on landscape mode - portrait orientation - more char/ add on for the complete pack buyer # -in game achievement Anyone knows when tinman will release this with their usual gamebook engine?
Game looks great, just wondering if it supports Game Centre and have save game syncing across devices? Also what is the expected game length in hours?
I don't agree, but in any case I wasn't only talking about the writing. The scrolling paper mechanic, for example, is nothing but a painfully obvious attempt to emulate the Sorcery! games. P.S. WTH?
Yes I think the same, the added paper clips for the text is the same as Sorcery, but I think is nice to improve in that direction like this game does, with the added dungeon and characters graphics and ambient sounds. To have different characters with different things to see or experience sounds very nice too. To copy a thing from other games is not bad and this one have a lot of personality and writing to be proud of. For me was instabuy the second I discovered it last night, but I enjoy interactive fantasy.
