Oh dear.
It won't really be an iOS app like Ascension or Ticket to Ride, more of a wrapper for their Dominion online website.
They attempted to launch last week but it was a shambles. Look for stories about goko.com

Hahahahahahahhahahaha never.
Someone please explain all the wtf that happened, but long story shory, it missed 3 promised release dates without comment, then was released online with EXTREMELY bad security/programming/everything bad and got pulled again and went back into beta, never even hitting iOS. iOS wouldn't even get an app, but only a front-end for an online site.
Unknown.
The "app" was submitted for approval on the 14th...
But it is just a front end for the publisher's (Goko) HTML5 web app.
The game was supposed to be a multiplatform simultaneous release last week but was such a monumental piece of shit failure that it returned to Beta the same day it went live.
It would be in your own best interest to not harbor much hope for this thing.

It's...OK. It has a major problem that bugs me which is stuck achievements. They just did a big update that didn't resolve it either. For instance there is an achievement for getting to level 10, and an achievement for getting to level 30...the level 10 one never unlocked, but the level 30 one did. If you don't care about achievements-you might get more satisfaction out of it-but that's my biggest pet peeve...
I hope Rio Grande has some sort of escape clause from whatever deal they've signed with Goko, because a company like Playdek could surely do Dominion justice. That app would sell based on the developer alone, never mind Dominion's popularity as a board game.
It's dropped, alright. It's dropped indeed.

I downloaded it last time it was free, it looks great but I really dislike the movement and gameplay, doesn't sit well with me.

Nope, it was pulled because of the goko adaptation.

I think you get a coin from matching 10 rats or wolves also.
I'm semi excited for Warhammer Quest. I'd rather this be 40K, but I'll support the game in hopes the next one will be 40K based.
Spot on!

Batman's decent, but unless you really...really...really love Batman, play infinity Blade II instead. Similar gameplay, but IB II is far and away the better game.
Currently enjoying Kingdom Rush & Defender Chronicles II
Oldies but goodies (and sitll on my devices): GeoDefense, GeoDefense Swarm, Defender Chronciles, The Creeps! & Fieldrunners.
Haven't snagged Field Runners 2 yet because I'm waitin' on the iPad release.
Eh, he asked about the Arkham one, not the Dark Knight Rises one....
Yeah I was so disappointed in RH.
I'd be SOOOOO pumped for a turn based Blood Bowl on iOS!!
I don't care if it has simplified graphics and an overhead view, it's all about the gameplay.
It would be awesome if you could play a-sync multiplayer with friends and randoms, plus be able to setup tournaments between a set of people with a set amount of time to complete matches.

It's been forever since I've played FFT, but I think I ran away from him and kept casting Tailwind until my speed was ridiculously high, so you can just attack him over and over. If it's the fight I'm thinking of, at least.
Number of turns until they eat one of your resources on the field.

I loved it. It was an addiction for me when it first came out. Haven't played it in a while, though, so I can't speak to any updates or changes.

Spellsword is very similar to Super Crate Box, except it isn't fun to play. I would recommend SCB over Spellsword, even with Spellsword being free.

I was playing Words With Friends earlier, and I got an offer to do a survey about how I play the game. LOL at some of the questions!
It's such a terrible fight. One of the only ones that's so unfair though.
I just did that fight a month or two back, and I already have forgotten what I did. FFT is so open with the jobs and abilities that strategy advice doesn't necessarily work so well anyways, though. I know I went back and grinded for a few days, but I can't remember my final setup. But really, the most important thing is to just grind a buy. Some sort of speed+ is useful, and I always go in with most everyone being able to revive (Throw Item set if using Item for this, so AoEs don't wreck you so fast). I avoid charge-up abilities/spells. I think I favored dragoon for jump (keeping distance and avoiding a lot of damage) and monk (revive, chakra, and the ranged abilities, not to mention monks do good damage, at least at that stage of the game).
My setup was probably dragoon, monk, monk, chemist, and white mage. Not that this setup is necessary to win, of course.
omg rofl, this cannot be real!
Autopotion + get rid of all your weakest potions. Trivializes the fight
Got sucked into puzzle craft and happy town too
GC:Manaxau if anyone wants to come visit my village!
Another game ive been enjoy is Bean's Quest its a pretty well put together platformer but has a whole lot of replay-ability and challenge as each level has 3 goals
Complete in a minimum number of bounces
Collect all the jems
Find the secret/hard to reach axolotl
controls pretty well you just touch left or right as the bean jumps on its own (mexican jumping bean)
Its really well put together
Itunes

I want to know what happened between questions 9 and 16.
Can anyone please give me some tips for the very last level of Shellrazer? It's ridiculously difficult, I'm currently considering trying to get 4x level 4 stars (makes you temporarily invincible) along with the guys that heal/repair all of your weapons... no idea if it'd work though?
No advice but the game definitely looks cool, got anything to say about it? recommended purchase?

That's some good advice, cheers man. I hadn't thought of using a Dragoon, I think that's my most overlooked class. already got a couple of two hander monks in there too and a bitchin chemist and white/black mage too, a small tweak might get me in fighting shape.
I've got that on a bunch of chars but it doesn't always work, is there a % chance for this to trigger? I personally prefer the Critical HP gain power, it will completely fill HP when you go to a knee.

Chameleon robes for your entire party (they'll need them for the second part of that battle) + Tailwind + Focus. You'll have to use Tailwind quite a bit until you're getting about six or seven turns for every turn he gets. Then switch over to focus so you can take him out in a few turns. Keep your distance the entire time, of course. Dragoon is a good choice, but not necessary. The main ingredient is the robe, as it will prevent him from casting holy sword abilities.
Honestly, no - it's very repetitive and could be quite grindy due to the high difficulty
I was a big Shellrazer fan. Last level is a bitch though. I had (all maxed out obviously) the machine gun on the bottom with infantry damage boosters, the ice gun in the middle with building damage boosters and the shotgun on top with air damage boosters. I had one finger constantly on the machine gun, and the other finger tapped between ice and shotgun. Good luck, you'll need it.

Any good fishing games? That Gamevil one is awful.
Thanks Sean, I'll give that a try - I switched up to the improved machine gun, but it runs out of bullets so I may switch back for a continued steam of fire - I also had the mortar (I think?) to take out powerful ground units/buildings and the flak cannon for air units, but I think I need to really switch it up...
My idea of rushing the level was a truly terrible one by the way

For me it's the complete opposite. Never got into SCB, but got adficted to Spellsword.

Is it? I never tried it, but it looked compelling...If it's an IAP-fest, though
Also, Katamari for iOS impressions? Worth the money for it + DLC?
Finished the Puzzle Craft campaign. Update mentioned in credits. What a great game.
Edit: I'm a huge Super Crate Box fan, even thought I could catch wario on the leaderboards once lol. Maybe I'll try spell sword since its free.
Sunshine looks like a great masochistic platformer adapted for touch controls, anyone playing it?

Oh wow, I didn't even know about this robe. Where can I get it from, is it in the outfitters? That would make the fight a lot easier, as it's the big spells in the second half that are wiping me out. I can kill Weigraf-the-man in two turns if I want to, he's not a challenge. But Weigraf the beast caves my head in in three turns!

If memory serves, I think you can buy it in Lesalia. If you're already doing that fight, it should be unlocked in the outfitter there.

So since my mother bought an iPhone I need stuff to play in multiplayer with my brother :lol
I only got Hero Academy so far and I'd like to keep it free or at least as cheap as possible. Help me out GAF.

More bullshit with achievements. How could I have earned 3 stars on each level but not unlock the other achievement??
Neuroshima Hex is fairly cheap and great.
Yep.
This is a good summary of what happened with Dominion: http://pockettactics.com/2012/08/18/dominion-online-makers-goko-un-launch-retreat-back-into-beta/
I've gone from super-excited (Dominion on iOS!) to hesitant (HTML5?) to pissed ($12 per expansion?!?), finally settling on indifferent (back to Ascension).

Good read. For those here that haven't discovered Pockettactics yet it's easily my favorite iOS site. Unfortunately it only focuses on strategy games but the writing is consistently pretty good and he has some great guest writers on occasion, including one of the x-com creators on his favorite iOS strategy games (it was Hunters I think).
