Modus Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Haha, you're enjoying my foot-in-mouth moment, aren't ya? Honestly our battles are the most stressful, neck and neck affairs out of all the battles I've done. I think I've only seen you make one questionable move ever. Be less rational please.

Moguta Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Try Ascendancy. It's a classic empire-building game from MS-DOS days, retrofitted for iDevices. Likely more complex than other portable games, but who knows, that might be your thing. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ascendancy/id412523782?mt=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Zero Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Aww thanks, Gol. I'm pretty much the definition of a "play to win" person in almost everything I do. But yeah you're pretty darn good at this game, too, so keep at it. I love competition. And sorry I haven't made many moves today. School is getting a lot more hectic and I had to work in the clinic tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modus Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 And sorry I haven't made many moves today. School is getting a lot more hectic and I had to work in the clinic tonight. It's cool, this game was made to accommodate busy people So this next round I'm switching up my early game strategy against you, and I may or may not be using Microsoft Excel for something Finally took a crack at Hero Academy today. Man, that's fun. Post your name so zero and I can play you. Just don't expect us to be easy fights :] Try Ascendancy. It's a classic empire-building game from MS-DOS days, retrofitted for iDevices.

Modus Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 The game you're playing with darkozl is me. Don't count yourself out of a victory though. Last time I trash-talked was to eternal Zero and he's beaten me like 3 times in a row. EDIT: Hey, zero. Bring that ninja a little closer to my units... because I never learn.

Modus Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Sephfire just kicked my ass. I thought you got this on the day we started our match, but you knew strategies that took me a couple days to figure out. You're... smart. But I did beat Zero :] with elves.

OceansAndrew Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hero academy seems pretty fun but it takes forever. Im playing my first game right now against modus a:)nd i suck, but maybe ill figure out the strategy. So far 5/10. Maybe itll get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yeah it's meant to be played here and there, not actively. If you want, you can create up to 40 games at once. You could pretty much play all day by doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomba Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I finally got around to installing Hero Academy. I'm down as Moomba should anyone want to take a crack at thrashing me! Also relevant, Ghost Trick was released for iOS today which is definitely a must play if you haven't played the DS version! First two chapters free. I can't stress enough just how awesome a game it is. Play. It. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Well I played the first two chapters of Ghost Trick but I'm not sure I'm sold on it. It's a really likeable game, full of personality with awesome animations, but the gameplay isn't really gripping me. The most annoying thing is characters explaining things I could have figured out on my own. Why do they take 10 minutes to explain every little obvious thing? Does the game eventually leave you to your own devices and become more complex? Right now it's funny and cute, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomba Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Both gameplay and story become much more complex as the game progresses. There are some really clever puzzles. But story is kind of central to the game so there are always quite a few segments of dialogue. Most of the puzzles do pretty much leave you to your own devices, but there are still segments of dialogue within many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I love Hero Academy so much that I made some terrible memepics. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/Bubble_Bobble_Bibble_Babble/prescrollin.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/Bubble_Bobble_Bibble_Babble/crystaldefenders.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/Bubble_Bobble_Bibble_Babble/familymatters.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/Bubble_Bobble_Bibble_Babble/endwell.jpg http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/Bubble_Bobble_Bibble_Babble/chainspooled.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I have to bump this because I found two very good trading card games. You can play competitively online and buy packs just like any other TCG. It's also manageable to play with little or zero budget. It's pretty easy to earn free points by winning. Assassin's Creed: Recollections is the most intense TCG I've ever played. It's a realtime card game where you try to control two of three "regions" on a board. You do this by launching sites, agents, and actions. The UI design is the most beautiful goddam thing I've ever seen, and the gameplay is rock solid. The downside is that Ubisoft's servers are unreliable. They usually go down about once a day for an hour. Shadow Era is your typical TCG akin to Magic and Yugioh. It's more simple to play and understand than Recollections, but it has a great formula. You choose one hero card and base your deck around their traits. If your hero is a Human Mage, you can only use Human ally/item cards or Mage ally/item cards. It makes the matchups pretty dynamic. The lore is a little over-nerdy like Magic, but it's still alright. It's too fun to be written off for that reason alone. My username in all games is darkozl if you guys want to play. You should play.. please..

LuckyXIII Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 http://www.swordandsworcery.com/ Outstanding game. I have it on Steam but it was originally made for mobile devices - it is a LOT of fun and the soundtrack is great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
