Oh DAMN. Well, in Witcher Battle Arena you start your account with crowns to afford one permanent character. I also unlocked a female mage via iAP since I had a lot of fun playing her when she was in the free unlock rotation. Well, my goal was to always have a character each from each class. Since I had a warrior and a mage already just now I finally won enough crowns via winning matches to get an archer for free!
I was going to get the one-eyed dude archer because I liked his design but then I got a legendary belt for the female plant-chick archer that is going to be overpowered as FUCK once I level her enough. As it turns out she has some rad skills too, which is cool.
The loot in this game is really brilliant. You get drops for the class you are playing, of course, but you also get nice rare drops for the other class-types fairly often, as well. Here is the brilliant part though, rarely you'll get a Legendary piece that isn't compatible with a class-type but rather only a specific character. I was all set to get the archer dude when I had enough crowns until I got the legendary piece for the chick and when you compare them to even a Rare piece the difference is pretty astounding. Come to think of it that is the same reason I settled on the female mage instead of the rad dude in the robes and mask, I got some Legendary gloves for her that totally pulled her together.
Seriously, guys, the game is a really good time. This is my first MOBA, and I guess it doesn't have NPC squishies that the genre usually does (I think they're called "Creeps"?) but it is definitely a compelling experience and I don't regret paying for a character. I just think of it like a tip jar.
I also recently bought Warhammer 40k: Carnage when it was on sale for $1. It seems alright. I've only done the tutorial so far.
Really, though, I wanted to remark on Leo's Fortune which I grabbed tonight after reading some posts on Gaf. I'd seen the icon in Play but it looked pretty generically cutesy so I didn't even bother clicking on it. Boy, was I a boob. The controls are very smooth and the game just looks AMAZING, even on old hardware. The game just sort of came out of nowhere for me. In a lot of ways it reminds me of Nintendo's HD efforts graphically.
I can't wait to pick up a new Tablet to load these badboys faster and run them smoother. My OG N7 has served me well but I'm ready to move on. Android gets a bad rap as far as games. I've got a real treasure trove on my tablet just waiting to be opened. I still need to finish Shadow Run, I can't fucking wait to play Banner Saga. Witcher is eating all my free time. Man, it is an awesome time to be a mobile gamer!
