I think I can make 5 floors easy now to the boss lol. I'm having a hard time reading his stomp move :/

The more I play this game the more I love it.
I also like how easily avoidable the story is since I can care less.
One simple way to make the game less tedious and faster moving is to stop destroying every single breakable you see. Basically, let go of your OCD if you have it and only go for blinking breakables and whatever is right in front of you.
Anyone know if there is a hard mode after you beat all 3 areas with a single character?
Also, everybody should change their hat color to match your armor. It's the right thing to do, at least so far...

I wish apple would add a "Supports iCloud" badge to the app store ala game centre.
So, what are people playing on, iPad or iPhone? I hear it controls better on the iPhone?

I MUCH prefer playing this on my iPad Mini, but I can pretty much say that about almost any game.

Didn't even realise Rocketcat made a new game. I enjoyed Mage Gauntlet (and their other things) and this looks like it so I bought it last night. From what I've played it's actually really fun. I like the warrior the most probably because it's the most simple class and he has a longish sword range. I suck with the mage and can barely make it 2/3 levels in the first area. Rogue is cool, dashing is fun but her range is weak so it requires more precision to hit enemies. And I unlocked the adventurer and he's pretty fun too, he plays sort of like the warrior minus the shield and shorter range.
It's also refreshing to see an iOS game without IAPs that's a plus too.
I'm playing it on my iPhone with the digital analogue controls. I'm not having any problems with the smaller screen. I wanted to try it out on my iPad but the data doesn't transfer so I was discouraged because I didn't want to have two separate save files...

The game is good, but the controls suck IMO.
That said I'm not really used to playing with touch controls. People who are used to it probably will play this way better than me.
I feel like more than half the times I'm hit it's because of the controls and not because of me. Lost count on how many times I got hit after that running charge attack because my character would just stand still no matter were I tried to go.
Game's incredible. Controls work extremely well. Responsive, and very easy to make your character do what you want him/her to do.
It has a nice look, varied environments and enemies, and great music to boot.
It is difficult in the way Dark Souls is difficult. Once you figure out the pacing of combat and get to know the behavior of the enemies you'll do better. Get hit less, make it farther, see more story...
...which is pretty good so far, with each character having a unique reason for being in the tower, which you learn more of as you make it further in. Randomly you'll come across ghosts talking, and get more insight into what's going on. Really well done.
And each character (so far) legitimately plays differently. Warrior is up-close, with a shield to take hits. Mage is ranged attacker, powerful, low health. Rogue is super awesome fast dagger wielder, who's best strats are to stun and/or get behind enemies. More characters are unlocked as you progress through the tower, and there's absolutely no IAP.
My favorite mobile game right now.

Yep, managed to beat the mines with the Warrior as well, was weird that equipment doesn't carry over to tower. And you still get the same upgrades for your equipment, not a better tier for the tower. Also, what do hats do, just cosmetic?Cleared the mines with my warrior, great game so far.
Made it 5 floors into the tower but then
Game is pretty fun, but it's weird how it's impossible to actually get better equipment outside that one run, unlike most rouge likes which reset your level but allow you to keep some equipment. I suppose the upgrades are like that and the game is more skill based.
I don't mind you can't take the other characters, because you're gonna get your ass handed if you can't handle the mines with 'em
And look at that, beat it with adventurer lol
You coud do a lot worse then hit the monthly iOS Gaming threads, refer to the first post for the crème de la crème of the months releases, and links to all the previous threads.
Mage Gauntlet is easily in my top three iOS games, and I own a lot. I'm really enjoying Wayward Souls, although I admit I would have liked a continuation of Lexi's story (although I haven't seen everything yet).
They are REALLY great for an iOS game. But yeah, would be much better with a proper pad. Pretty much every death I have had in Mage Gauntlet/Wayward Souls was due to an unresponsive input.

All the good impressions pushed be over the edge. Game is good so far. The music in this is great!

Yeah ill definitely double dip a vita version if it comes. It could definitely benefit to have physical controls.
Made it to 5th floor with Rogue on my first run. I really like how enemy projectiles can generally hurt other enemies.
Really is a missed opportunity for a Souls series mention in the OT

hoping for a quick answer:
if I buy this for iphone, will it look like crap on my ipad, aka will it be the iphone version in a tiny window on my ipad?

Yeah, I originally was going to have a Dark Souls-related title but I wasn't sure how the three was going to turn out so I played it safe
I'll probably message a mod later, change it to my original title

No iCloud, no buy. I'll get this on PC though.

I'm having trouble handling the Rogue's dash on an iPad. Is it true that swipe-based attacks are somewhat buggy on the iPad? Has it been patched yet?
BlackWaltz
lotta black folks here
From what I've read the swipes are not necessarily bugged on iPads, just tuned differently, in that they require more of a quick flick. It's really annoying playing on my mini and not being able to get moves to come out when I absolutely need them, especially since I have no problem playing on my touch. AFAIK Kepa is looking into either changing it or offering options in the upcoming update.

So one rogue upgrade is to have dash inflict confusion, but that seems to do nothing at all. What if confusion, how do I tell if an enemy is confused?

man does it suck having not played a few days, can't even make it to the boss in the first area anymore
do yall go with the flow, or try to 100% a map before preceeding? The RNG sure gives me some annoying floors :/

I was wondering the same thing. I don't see enemies being noticeably confused. I put a few points in it to see if it would be noticeable with a longer duration but nope.
So either it isn't working, or it just doesn't have visible (or otherwise) feedback that it's working.
I'm leaning towards the former, as enemies don't seem to behave differently.

I've been trying to clear each section with each character before I move on. I've got the first section done with all but the cultist (whom I haven't unlocked yet) and am working on the second section with the rogue right now.
One of the things I really like is how different the characters are.

The iOS version is fantastic. I'd love to try a PC version at some point, but for now this is absolutely great. Can't wait too unlock the cultist...
The difficulty spike in the third area is insane.
Gotten all 5 guys to the second area though. The mines get easy once you get used to the game, especially the boss.

I try to look for the forge and most of the times they are found on even floors or every 2 floors, so unless I have hp to spare I'll try taking the stairs.man does it suck having not played a few days, can't even make it to the boss in the first area anymore
