Our game Raid Tactics is now also available on iOS. I made a post about it here. I don't know if it's inappropriate to post about that here. Sorry if it is. :/

Some people playing on Android have been having issues playing it, especially on certain devices. We've made some changes and are constantly chasing up bugs and improvements so if you have any comments or feedback we'd love to hear from you.

Either this got a stealth release or it's just come out. Only around 85 downloads 4.7/5 Stars so far on Android. Downloading now, 75mb.

Played it for an hour thereabouts. My biggest gripe is lack of bonnet or bumper cam. I really despise third person views outside of the car in games that try to be sims. Aside from that it's a pretty good time trial racer (doesn't seem to be any other cars on the track) but in order to be a great tt racer it needs ghosts.

There's no racing, offline or on so don't get your hopes up unless it's added later. =)

Ya no racing against CPU or online? Sorry I'm not going to grind solo laps in order to buy another car to grind out more solo laps lol.

Regarding WH40K: Space Wolf mechanics: what am I supposed to use components for? Is forging cards the only thing they can do?

Just a heads up.

I would give Titan Quest a skip for now. The game has some serious performance issues. The average framerate is like 20fps on a high end tablet/phone. Wait for optimization.

Thanks! :)

You should keep in mind that NO encounter is impossible, we're not pushing for the "pay to be able to win" type of IAP (it's just a leg-up for those with money and no patience, or those who want to throw us some support).
A lot of the boss encounters are best approached like puzzles. Sure, better gear and runes help, but yeah, good luck figuring it out! ;)

Beat the Root ability by bunching all your chars in one of the corners during the first stages. Have Ethan and Penelope stay as far from the farthest two ghosts as possible (to keep them out of range) and keep buffing Sophia's armour with a shield. Basically have Sophia eat all damage while using Penelope and Ethan to slowly crumble the ghosts. Destroy the evil ent after blowing up one of the ghosts, it will make positioning your guys easier.

Many boss battles play out like puzzles.

To follow up on Nikodemos, also check what runes you have (or can craft), they really make a huge difference.

If you long hold on a unit (enemies included) you can get a character sheet which shows what effects they are currently under, for the tree fight they are all rooted and can't move, that is the key to this boss fight.

Good luck!

yeah, thanks guys. i got past that boss and two others today. once you figure out what each enemy's attacks are and how to best position yourself the battles do go a lot quicker. runes are especially useful as well (regeneration on the mage's healing wand to have the effect last three turns, root, and blind are particularly good).

really quite liking it. just grinding gold now (attached the money rune to several daggers that attack for 1 action point and am just spamming that haha)

We just dropped another game, Piczle Lines Jr. Blue!

Based on a very popular logic-puzzle game we released on iOS only back in 2010, we've created a version (first in a series) specifically aimed at younger players (though enjoyable by all!). It's a bit of an experiment, but we've gone for a paid app with NONE of the trappings of modern money making slyness. No IAPs, no ads, no log-ins, no internet connection required to play. We've even added a "child proof" options menu so that parents can let their kids enjoy the game without having to worry about them resetting the puzzle data or turning the BGM music on and such.

There is also an iOS version but I'll post about that in the relevant thread.

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Just got an S7, what are some great tactics RPGs I can download right now? No f2p, please. I'm thinking of getting Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's pretty damn expensive.

If you like the Fire Emblem series there's a clone series called Partia that's decent and not F2P. I think part 1 costs like $3 and 2 costs $6. The first is maybe 12 missions long, 2 is 26 I think? It's not perfect, and from what I've played it's very obviously a FE clone, but it is fun.

Try ours, Raid Tactics. Freebie, some IAP but doesn't push F2P mechanics. In fact, you can clear the entire game without spending a penny. Let us know what you think!

Thanks for the recommendations!

Are there any controllers that you guys recommend?
