    When viewing marines is it possible to swipe from one to the other? Rather than looking at one, then back then at another. Bit slow.

    I so agree with you. Dumped my Xbox 360 and PS3 when I got my first iPad. Never looked back. As an, ancient now, long time gamer my FPS and 3rd person skills are gone so TBS and RPG games are the go. I used to spend $1000 a year on games. Now that buys me a new iPad every year. Games like this prove that iPad gaming can easily compete with console games. These guys are one of the best. With RG and Slitherine I don't need much else.

    It would be nice if iCloud could be added in the future, nobody likes to loose all their hard work if something happens to their device because I never plug mine into a pc, also cross device is nice.

    No reset on the units though for stats is tough I'll have to be very spareing with those until I understand better what I want out of them as I wouldn't like to loose all my stats and skills and traits to get a fresh unit because I messed up buying the wrong stat.

    I understand what you mean about the units too, I guess it'll just take time to know what's good and what's not, my champion space wolf is in the team regardless as is the veteran blood angel just because they have more potential as the game keeps saying.

    For me plasma weapons will be out, I like long range, damage over time, healing and accuracy and constant reliable damage rather than the hope of a crit. I'll use one melee for definite just as a tank and because it is fun to hit things in the face. But I guess I'll see as things unfold, I can see myself spending longer with this than WHQ even just because there are so many units and gear pieces to collect and I want the best of the best for pvp!

    So do you earn card packs very often or have to buy them with the currency you get after beating a level?

    You get a card pack after every act you have finished.

    In multiplayer the weapon stats are adjusted - to keep things fair! So your tier 4 bolter looks the same but has only the stats of a tier 1 bolter.

    +1 for iCloud support!!!

    Since Apple broke with iOS 8.3 the ability to access more than the documents folder (why does no games save in this folder?) via iFunbox etc. it is absolutely mandatory to have iCloud.I have a 128GB iPad and can not even make a complete backup (not enough space) and i remember that recovering from a backup didn't work with my game saves.So,iCloud would be the only way to backup currently.

    So I leaped into the breach and bought it. Very nice. I was deceived into thinking this was a Hunters clone (aesthetically speaking), because Sanuku's video only showed the default top-down view. No criticism there, just a fact.

    So yes... Looks fantastic. I've only had a second to play the first tutorial, but I'm hyped to get into it.

    I'm confused about one thing; multiplayer. I've heard it mentioned. Is it promised in an upcoming update?

    Thanks in advance. And thanks to Rodeo.

    Last mission is insane.

    And insanely AWESOME.

    It's worth the admission ticket that alone.

    SO FREAKING AWESOME.

    Lazy question.

    Anyone know if progress resets / is lost if the app closes half way through a mission?

    This affects the ease of playing whilst at work!

    (During breaks, uh... Obvs.)

    So, will iOS9 beta be supported anytime soon, or should I roll back to 8.4 ?

    You have to finish the "tutorial" to unlock multiplayer.

    iOS 9 can't be supported because, well, it's a beta. Apple is not accepting apps made with iOS 9 SDK, even if they could work with 8.4.
    And besides that, every beta release could potentially break the game. Transistor was working on beta 1, broke on beta 2 and now with beta 3/public beta 1 is working again.
    When iOS 9 final will be out the developers can fix the game as needed. Now it's not possible.
    That's the reason why Apple says "DON'T put beta OS on your main device."

    I'm gonna buy it and play on my iPhone 5s, since I have iOS 9 on my iPhone 6. By the time iOS 9 will be out, I hope Rodeo gets the iCloud support update ;)

    Well, ahem... I was just reporting someone else's post, since I don't have the game yet :D
    Pitta posted a picture taken during a multiplayer match, so multiplayer seems to be working, but I'm afraid I can't be more specific on how to do that ATM :/

    The multiplayer picture that Pitta posted was from the beta. In fact it's from a game with me. ;-)

    But the multiplayer seems to be missing in the full game. I hope that Matthew can tell us something about that.

    Sorry guys.
    I thought multy unlocked after prologue (I remember so from beta but I could be wrong) but it's not working for me too.

    Apparently it's not in the final release.
    According to Rodeo own website, it's coming soon tough (I hope with iCloud too :)

    I'm sure it's just some time to prepare for greater awesomeness...because I found the mp already incredibly fun and tense.

    Wow I'm at loss for words. Such a great game! This is what I've been waiting for since Hunters 2! Although I feel Warhammer Quest had more variety in abilities, tactical options in Deathwatch are almost limitless!

    A few minor gripes:
    1- Battery drain!
    2- iCloud!
    3- The abilities and traits seem to be too expensive to unlock. I don't think they should be cheap but lowering the exp requirements just a little could improve the variety I mentioned earlier. I'm just shooting, the combat options result only from positioning and attacking order as of now if we cast aside the choice of marines and their equipment (I'm in the last mission on act 1 btw)
    4- On Ipad Air, zooming in (maybe a little too much) resulted in a "grainy" outcome. Did anyone else notice this?

    Regardless of these, bravo Rodeo!

    Hello, yes, I am here again, I was getting some lunch and much needed coffee.

    I've been chatting and iOS 9 BETA version will not be supported. For reasons previously mentioned, its impossible to plan for the changes that a beta SDK may have between versions, however we will support iOS 9 (release) when its out.

    Multiplayer is currently locked but we're patching soon with a fix to the last remaining multiplayer issues and then you'll all be free murder each other in glorious combat.
