Yeah, saw the IAPs too. Not sure what those are yet, but if it's just minor and the game is fun then I won't mind. Will take one for the team if it gets available here. Unless someone manages to try it out before me. :)

Just like the first one, it's an hommage to the evolution of RPGs/JRPGs over the years. In the original you started in black and white then discovered colors by leveling up, sounds etc...
Only played for a few minutes but it's gorgeous - music, graphics and lighting. It's definitely more of the same, however. So if you didn't like the first game, I'm not sure you'd like this one.
I was actually like you and didn't think Alto's Adventure was all that when I first got it. But the more I played it, the more I enjoyed it. These games aren't as crazy as Ski Safari. It's more serene and relaxing IMO but still has the challenge to make you want to keep on going.
Yeah, I think I'll have to pick up Evoland 2. Apparently a big improvement on the first game, which I thought was pretty good as well. Remember the devs saying this one would never come out on mobile. And here we are... :)
Expensive week or two with Alto's Adventure, Evoland 2 and Temple of Spikes. Really, really looking forward to the later. Hope those controls are good as it has the potential to be phenomenal.

Ok i dont have any expectations and but lowered them somehow lol
I tried many times to like the first one but no, never really liked it
I will get it and if i dont like it... cancel purchase xD

Selfie Poker, a very nice solitaire poker game, was updated and removed all F2P stuff. So no ads, no IAP, no nothing. For FREE. Another great completely free games joins the rooster. :)
Also, been playing 1000000. strange game and surprisingly hard. Not sure if I like the hectic live system.

Nice. This is one I bought and only played a couple times. Maybe now's my chance. It's good to see apps still update. Though this is probably false hope for games like Dungeon Raid and Peggle...
Okay I grabbed it for the buck. What is a buck anyways? Let's see how it plays on my Note8
Dissembler by the creator of Boson X is out:

Although I do believe that Apple will not continue with the mini line.

Monster Hunter World + friends to play with has ruined my free time, productivity, sleep routine, and all the games i gotten (Celeste, Aegis Defenders, SteamWorld Dig 2, Fe,..). Damn that is a good game, so addicting
Ahahaha, so true! I am in the same boat... ;)
That said, I just stopped for the night and gave Alto's Odyssey a quick run and yeah it's more of the same but definitely still fun and gorgeous.
Kinda sad there seem to be no llamas to chase though.
At some point i realized i was playing an episodic game and im not really a fan of that so i decided to wait. I have other things to do anyways, many other games to play that are "full"... so i wait for it to be complete. I can do it. I have force of will
It's not so much episodic as not released yet, hence why it's still in beta form! While I do believe that they want to update it with even more content after launch, I also think that they'll have an "ending" is the final version.

So any suggestions on IAP's for this game? There are so many. I would think the items, although nice are not really worth it. Do the IAPs ever go on sale (Android)?
You can forget about items, you will find WAY better ones by playing.
I would say....play a bit...you can play all the first campaign and see if you like the game....you will lose nothing.
If you do, imho, mandatory are the two additional regions/campaigns, each one with new monsters, quests, items, etc....
The Vampire and skeleton tiles add variability to the white quests, with new tiles and enemies; beware, they are pretty difficult so you may want to buy them when you are done with the first campaign (but I highly recommend them as well, especially if you like the game and want to play it for hours and hours looking for specific loot).
Other than that...only the extra characters (think miniatures) remain....just buy the ones that you think you can like, if any, each one comes with their own skills and items.
You can happily play for ages just with the four starters characters....it's up to you really.
It mimics the boardgame....you bought the base box...then extra adventures/tiles....then extra characters/enemies minis.
You will notice there is a gold iap as well. Forget about that, by the end of the campaign you will sit on a pile of gold and nowhere to spend it.
And yes....you can (and you will) be robbed in game (those are original events in the boardgame too).
Can't answer about the sale thing, as I'm not an Android user....actually I don't know if they ever were on sale on iOS too tbh.
PRO TIP: after you learnt about the game and played a bit, I guess on normal....be brave and start a new hardcore game, where every inventory slot and skill matters.
Especially after 5 black orcs ambushes in a row :D
If you liked the old Spike Dislike games, the devs newest game is free for the first time:

Warbands Bushido, a boardgame miniature style war game, has been released on Android. Unlike the iOS release, this one's free on Android!
Apple possibly getting serious about gaming on Apple TV? Some new patent filings apparently indicate that they may be:

Hope this is true being a new ATV owner.
BTW, Bank of America gave me $75 cash back on that Direct TV Now deal. So got an Apple TV 4K for $30! Can't go wrong with that.

Got tired of waiting and got Night in the Woods on PS4 since it's on sale for $13.99. Hopefully will hit mobile soon.
But definitely looking forward to Temple of Spikes next week!
Also, this rogue like dungeon crawler just went on sale for the first time. $1.99 (down from $4.99)

I remember hearing about the game but never picked it up and just did. Very cool sort of blend of Downwell, Flappy Bird and Binding of Issac.

Yeah, most games you can use the remote as a controller but some require the use of an actual controller.
The top half of the remote has a touch pad that also can be pressed. Alto's Odyssey uses it for jumps and flips.
Other games repurpose the remote's other buttons as buttons used like a controller. It also has motion controls that are used in some flight games like Galaxy on Fire: Manicore.
The remote isn't ideal all the time. Some games work better than others. Many work better with a controller itself. I have a cheap Stratus XL.
I'm having fun with it. Won't replace my consoles anytime soon but nice to play some iOS games on the big screen.
My main use will be for 4K movies from iTunes.

Thanks! That is my main use too but the idea of some of these games on a big screen was intriguing. Remote doesn't sound ideal however.
Bought Warbands:Bushido 3 hours ago and they passed like the blink of an eye.
It's basically Shadespire in Japan if you are familiar with the boardgame.
It's really gorgeous too.
It is a bit daunting at first because basically nothing is really explained but after a bit of single player campaign you will fight like a pro.
It really put your brain at work...with flank, sudden cards, retreats etc.
So far loving it, seems there is a MASSIVE amount of content too, everything is unlockable via in game gold (no iaps) and there are quite a bit of things between campaigns, miniatures and cards.

So you have one already? I'd definitely say give it a try with the remote, especially for something like Alto's Odyssey.
In the long run, a controller is a worthy purchase though.
Yup! Have had a 4K one for a couple of months. Will look at a controller for sure.
I've played it when it released in Japan last year and it's a fun, original game that's also simple and cute. The basic idea is that you're given some objects that you need to grab and stack. It features plenty of additional objectives to make things a bit harder. It's not the most complex game ever and it's certainly quite Japanese but that's exactly what I liked about it.
I loved Asphalt 8 when it first launched or even a year or so later but it really went whole hog with the freemium thing. Way too many currencies, boosts, etc.
That said the racing is second to none on iOS. Sense of speed and spot on controls. I'll have to give A9 a shot.
Do you need a VPN to play the soft launch?
Altos Odyssey is... the same as the first game. I know you guys told me but i wanted to experience it myself. Actually, is worse than the first one: no llamas, music is non existent, the snow theme was better, i dont know why the globes are there, the sand theme is bad,... Apple feels a refund coming their way
Used a VPN to check out Asphalt 9 and the racing is good (after you turn off the automatic steering). But the races themselves are way too short. And combined with energy meters that only let you play six races and you feel like you've only played like two races.
Disappointing in the race length in particular. Not sure if they get longer as you get further.
