King of Dragon Pass is pretty damn awesome, I'm glad I got it on sale but if I would have known previously how deep it is I would have paid $10 easily. Yet another iOS game that would have earned excellent reviews as a $30 handheld game just a few years ago.
It's a little overwhelming and I don't know the game well enough to feel like I'm really working toward anything (I know I'm supposed to be forming a tribe but so far I'm basically just doing "Uh, guess I haven't explored in awhile. Guess building shrines is good. Crap, running low on goods, better raid"), but learning it is really fun so far.
Every time I send an emissary anywhere they get ambushed by bandits, seemingly regardless of how many soldiers I send along, which is really annoying. I tried like four quests and failed them all before finally figuring out you're supposed to read the lore first and follow the story, but the next time I tried one I followed the lore and still failed.
The game is still really fun though, I can easily see this becoming a favorite (in general, not just iOS) once I get a better grasp on it.
I also bought Another World on sale awhile back and despite hearing good things it's aged horribly in my opinion. Just a bunch of trial and error nonsense and unexplained mechanics, I got to a hallway where I have to shoot through some bars to progress while prison guards try to kill me and some other guy, and I quit after trying four or five different strategies of shooting attackers and bars. I get killed before I can make it through the bars, and if I kill the guard the gun seems to run out of ammo.
It's still got me in the mood for an adventure game though, I'm planning on picking up The Last Express to play over Christmas break.
