The Lord of Khorne is, hands down, the best Warhammer Quest campaign ever (both 1 and 2).

My uber party just got massacrated at quest 5 or 6 (and previous ones weren't a piece of cake too).
Both the generic new enemies and the special ones are fantastic.
Again, ambushes makes a world of difference....can't wait to restart, new playthrough will be hard as nails.

Some pics I took, during a series of epic fights which weakened everyone till the final room, where I got massacrated.
Started fine with tight formation then it went downhill.
GLORIOUS.

It's quite great :D I've been beta testing it and while I can't say much it starts a lot like the previous one but then adds a ton of layers on it. It also features an outstanding audio experience so headphones recommended !

Just got back into iOS gaming after a day hungover in bed. Played Reigns. Good fun. Simple but funny. Perfect hangover game.

But is still as boring as the first one? Im probably the only person in the world that didnt like it, was very bland to me, no emotions while playing

I need something more actiony.
I know Dandara just came out and everyone told me it's awesome but for some reason I'm still esitant.
I would love something a bit deeper story wise.

How is Icey in that regard? I know it's more of a brawler than a Metroidvania but looks cool.

While not my fav genre, I loved the brawler aspect in Dust.

Icey is a fun game. Wouldn't say the story is great but the combat is really good, especially if you liked that aspect of Dust. It's also on sale right now for $1.99.

Would you say that ICEY is like a 2D version of NieR: Automata? Also, im suddenly interested in this as well. Does it have metroidvania?
Click to expand...

Nah. It's not as good as Nier. It really is comparable to Dust in terms of combat. I personally think the combat is even better than Dust with some cool combos and a unique control scheme using swipes.

The story is tongue in cheek with a narrator who taunts you when you go the wrong way (which you should go the wrong way at times).

It's sort of Metroidvania. It's not really a platformer though. Just different branching paths. More of an action game.

Well worth $2. That's for sure.

Do you prefer Icey or Dandara?
Click to expand...

They're two completely different games. I think Dandara is a better, longer and more challenging game overall but they're hard to compare.

Still think it would be crazy to not get Icey for $2. It's really good.

Please don't put quote brackets when posting images, the site resizes them automatically and with quote they get huge when you cluck on them, also there's a bug that doesn't show the pics on (some) mobile browsers. :)

I see, edited.
Actually without the quotes I now see them huge tough (at least they are same with of the browser).
Thanks anyway....probably it was something I remembered from NeoGAF!!!

I'll take the chance to remind everyone that Warhammer Quest 2 2.0 is glorious :P

Is the new campaign $9.99? I'll pick it up someday but don't want to spend the cash right now.

True Legacy hasn't lived up to expectations. For one, the text orientation aspect feels completely arbitrary, just there as a gimmick, compared to Device 6 where the text mirrored the descriptions of the locations. The puzzles are basic, the prose is average. The best parts have been the illustrations and the world-building

My wife finished The Room: Old Sins last night. She loved it! Places it up there with 2 as the best of the series. (She said she has to think more to decide which is her favorite now).

She was pretty down on 3 and its too open nature, and isn't so into the storytelling, so she was pleased to see a return to form. Took her something like 8 hours 16 minutes to finish.

What is the general consensus about Meganoid 2017, which is on sale right now and for some reason in my wishlist?

Bought Tumbleseed for PS4 and... is a game that should play better on iOS without doubt. The Scuf plays better than a regular DualShock thats for sure but controlling it with both thumbs would be the ideal way. Would be the perfect way to balance that seed and escalating the mountain to plant atop of it a fullfill the legend. Dont know why it was never released for iOS as it was originally stated for touch controls... shame since Tumbleseed has so much charm and plays so challenging. Has a ton of different seeds that plays differently from each other, adding tons of depth and variation into the gameplay, like missilesprount that fires rockets or plantseed that saves checkpoints, they are so easy to swap. The game is full of personality and attention to details that has instantly become a favorite of mine. Would love to see it on iOS one day

Yeah, the bundle is $2.99 and since already have the first one, Her Majesty was free!

Guess they don't have them on sale individually like Google Play.

Been on a platformer binge lately:

Celeste - Xbox One
Iconoclasts - PS4
Dandara - iOS

And yesterday added Hallow Knight after finding my TV's Steam Link is working much better.

Still hoping to hear when Night in the Woods will get its iOS release.

^ Completed Iconoclasts yesterday and wow im hugely impressed by it. One of the best platformers in recent years. Hoping it comes to iOS someday so people here can enjoy it and anyone looking for a different kind of platformer, one full of ideas, should pick it up immediately

I hope Nicalis brings End is Nigh and Cave Story + to iOS and PS4/XO someday

Iconoclasts could probably work on iOS. Celeste would not. Just too much precision involved.

From what I've played of Hallow Knight, it probably could work as well but not sure if that changes further in the game. Controls are pretty floaty but getting used to them.

Decent platformer with good controls but the RNG and procedural generation can be frustrating and make some deaths feel cheap and unearned.

Thanks.
I actually bought it soon after I asked (it's just 1 dollar) and I have to say I actually quite like it.
It's brutal and I wasted 10 mins moving the controls (who thought it was a good idea to swap X and A???) but after a while they were second nature.
Made it to second world (played 1 hour straight).
Loving the various gear, there are a ton!!!

Meant to reply earlier. Haven't played it In a while but like it as well. Definitely like it better than their newest game, Ashworld, which seems half-baked.

^ Enjoy!

And think about Iconoclasts for iOS, i think it could work well. Platforming is not that demanding like Celeste and it sorts of auto aims when shooting so the player just have to figure things out and move, swap weapons. It could work

For me it is still 2,50€, probably because I bought Reigns in sale for 1€ back in the day.

Florence was a cute little story. I liked it! I've also been playing a bit of PUBG on mobile and it.s actually pretty darn great even compared to the PC version on my more than capable machine. Out of 6 matches I've won twice so far and that's on chinese servers!

Does it really have no happy end? The description read like it. When I showed the game to my girlfriend she really liked the idea but was bummed about the fact that the two would grow apart haha

Fortnite > PUBG

Fe preloading (PS4 dont get too excited)

Reigns: Her Majesty lasted 5 minutes installed. Very sexist in my opinion. Kings deals with wars and Queens... with little cousins and dresses? Lol

I don't know I played both Fortnite and PUBG on my Xbox One X and enjoyed PUBG more even with all the early release bugs. It just feels different than any other shooter I've played. Not a huge player but think it's pretty cool.
