iOS Gaming Thread May 2013: Another board thread, now with 4X the backlog

Yup, I'm quite loving the look of ios gaming these days. Two trends have my full support.
Relatively pricier games is a good thing. There are a lot of new games releasing at 5+ (still really cheap) and, I presume this is linked, IMHO they look like 'real' games. Good production value, design or longevity, etc... the fact that you paid for something more substantial is apparent. Not that I dislike cheap games but I would think the store being choke full of this type of game is detrimental to everyone, even to them.
And there is the trend of unlockable content by IAP. Meaningful content, be it an expansion, units that add even a little bit to the gameplay, etc.. This reminds me a lot of the shareware days and I love it.
No IAP to have the fucking permission to continue playing for another 15 minutes, IAP that add to the experience.
May it continue this way.

Thanks for that. I seem to get bored of Drop 7 too quickly and it appears to be very similar to Eighty Eight, so I may pass on it and continue trying to figure out how to get a decent score on RUA2 instead!
PW is ouuuuut, finally!

iOS Gaming Thread June 2013: OBJECTION!
What an insane month this is going to be. WHQ, Agricola, and Kingdom Rush 2? My goodness.

It's midnight on the easternmost territory of a given country in cases a country spans multiple time zones. For the US, this is Puerto Rico, which is an hour ahead of the east coast.

The OP is prepped, impressions lacking of course - I'm reserving that for the release versions of games.

It probably -should- be midnight right now because of daylight savings; Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands apparently don't participate in daylight savings time, so right now they're synced up with the east coast. In practice, I don't know...
I'm sure people have seen my negative impressions on Ace Attorney HD already based on the JP release. I'll give it another shot but I still find the redone character artwork to be awful. The background art is really nice though.

I remember you mentioning the transitions were laggy, anything gameplay ui issues?
Guess we have to wait until midnight...
It's a rather basic point and click game (investigation part) and a visual novel in the court, more or less (finding what's fishy about the testimony, presenting counter evidence and all that) - game has fun story, interesting (most of the time) cases and really memorable cast of characters... If you don't like first 2 free episodes, you won't like the game.
One of the best titles from nintendo DS
It's a bit like a point and click adventure with has courtroom bits where you have to catch people out lying using the clues you have found. All tied together with Japanese mentalness.

Since I got into iOS gaming again after updating my iPhone to iOS 5, does anyone know if any of the anime-ish card games like Dark Bound and Celestial Crystalia are available in English? It seems like the were before but now are not o.o
I've only played the first one that was on iOS but it's basically a series of murder mystery stories where you play the protagonist. You have to guess what happened but then also back it up with an appropriate piece of evidence.
Also the stories aren't as 'cartoony' as the art style would suggest. I was kind of taken aback when the first story talks about sugar daddies.
Great fun though, try the first two stories, they're free.

its ok. Heck i'd even recommend people to use a spoilerfree guide if they are stuck. Some of the solutions are stupidly random at times :S

I have 1.8GB free on my iPad. Hope that is enough for Phoenix Wright, can't wait to play it again!
An 8-minute video of Kingdom Rush Frontiers has been posted on IGN (http://uk.ign.com/videos/2013/05/29/ign-plays-kingdom-rush-frontiers), great work always Justin. There appear to be a lot of IAPs, $8 for a specific hero.

Man I have some good timing. I really only play Kingdom Rush on my iPad. Came to find out any news on its sequel. Thanks!

That's how the first game worked too, they offer the IAPs as a crutch if you find the levels too difficult. But the whole game can be enjoyed without using any in the first game, and very likely in the second as well.
We are quite aware of the insecurity of iOS in general, but the competition stuff is pretty sound given submitted scores come with a bunch of other encrypted data used to very the validity of the score. We aren't relying on Apple authentication at all.
The competition also has a fixed snail config, so even if people are pirating currency (which of course has been happening), it won't help them.
igor said:Great to see new updates to RUA2 but dat new icon
New Adult Swim policy I'm afrid. Expect that to start turning up on all Adult Swim titles as they update.

Yeah, I noticed Super Mole Escape got it awhile back. I don't mind it, and if I didn't put all of the Adult Swim games in their own folder it would remind me where it came from.
Phoenix Wright games are some of my favourite gaming experiences ever, certainly of the past 10 years or so. Would recommend them to anyone.
They ruined LA Noir's interrogation mechanism for me (and the whole game really). Just didnt live up to a proper investigation or interrogation experience after playing PW.

doesnt' help that LA Noir's interrogation system makes zero sense. And I beat the game with and without a guide.

Really excited for WHQ, that's going to be my main iOS game for the next month, I can feel it. I need to stop myself downloading PW though, I KNOW that I won't like it, but I know what I'm like and that I'm going to waste an hour of my time convincing myself I might enjoy it. At least it's free unlike that godamn TWEWY debacle

PW and TWEWY are nothing alike though... PW is more along Ghost Trick's lines (being the same creator) but with observation and deductive reasoning rather than puzzle solving.

It's just all that talking, I just can't get through it. For some reason, entirely my own, I read it all in the same super exclamatory tone which just makes it tiring to get through. I figure a story based game will have a lot of talking.

how does that work? Do you read it outloud?
Purchasable heroes just like KR1. It seems silly that a single hero costs more than double what the entire game costs, but if someone wants to pay it, I'm not mad at Ironhide giving them the opportunity, as long as the game is balanced without considering these heroes.
At first I was worried that Frontiers would be too easy, but it's back to kicking my ass around halfway through the campaign.
Was 999 the other game you mentioned last week or so?
People must have been gobbling up the $4.99 heroes in the original, sadly.

Yeah, good luck to them if people buy at that point, but $8 is just way too high. I mean it is a good tower defense game, but I don't even consider it to be in my personal top 3.
