I usually don't pay that much for iPhone games, but the reviews have been great. I like the mix of strategy and luck, and it's easy to learn.

I have both Hero Academy and Lost Cities amd would happily trade turns in both. I'm Ravenlock on there as well.

No wonder you're doing your turns so fast. Send me a few more challenges

I like Hero Academy, but something always seems to be working wrong. Currently the dwarven drill doesn't destroy any equipment.

Also I got 10000000 and love it. My only issue is that I have upgraded everything and just can't beat the game. I wish there was just a few more upgrades to help me out.

It's supposed to do that?

My only real problem with Hero Academy is that at least half the time when I switch to the app because I'm notified about my turn it will crash while downloading the info and I have to start it up and log in again. It doesn't take too long but it's still an issue.

Yeah, the pop up on the item says that. The other big one is the horde shank of meat is supposed to increase attack by 175% instead it currently makes the attack do 175% damage.

Interesting. The game guide doesn't mention the first one. The second one sounds really overpowered if it's meant to increase power by more than double. It's my guess that the game is playing as intended but those are errors in the tool tips. Still should be fixed, though.

All of the other races have scrolls that triple damage, while the horde one should be 2.75 times but currently acts as 1.75 times.

These items worked at one point but don't now. They got bugged during updates.

Ah. I didn't realize the scrolls were 300% boosts.

As far as wrecking swords and shields? I never knew it was supposed to do that.

If you drop it on a crystal it will do big damage to surrounding units, especially if you're on the weaken crystal square.

Picked up Rune Raiders for free. Pretty fun!

Also, App Shopper is great for keeping tabs on price drops.

Check out the tool tip. Direct unit hits destroy one piece of equipment.

The World Ends With You is coming out on iPad/iPhone, it's got quite a hefty price tag. The battle system is changed up to work with one screen.

Just saw that. Huh. Now if only you and I could get a game going so that I could test this out

I am so tempted, but $20 is crazy high. The sad thing is that I'd probably pay that for the DS cart if I had to go buy another one. Arg.

I think I'm going to use this as a reward. If I finish Persona 3, I can treat myself to TWEWY again. Assuming it is a decent port. By then it might be on sale for $10!

Just got Rune Raiders due to this thread. Seems pretty good for free.

TWEWY was amazing on the DS. If they didn't ruin the controls, I would say that price is a steal.

If TWEWY was universal, I might get it but I usually end up getting both. So I might get neither.

Yeah. Making it non-universal is kind of a slap in the face.

Square has been pretty consistent with these relatively high prices for their game ports. I'd be curious to see the sales numbers.

Yeah, but this is a bit steep even for them... and not being universal is a pain.

The sad thing is that I'm having to use every ounce of willpower not to throw money at them
