Infinity Blade keeps Street Fighter IV company in my "Beat 'em up" games folder. Seems like it's more that than anything else, to me at least. |

The Sims 3 is down to 59p in the App store this weekend. I didn't like the Sims when I played it a few years ago, with the character constantly needing to pee and shower, so I don't know if it is any good, but it said that it is over 90% off for this weekend, so might be a bargain for some? |

I had a nice little run on Dungeonraid and spotted something (which may be already known to everyone but not to me :-) One of the spells I often take is 'treasure chamber' which basically means every new tile next turn is a coin. Sometimes when i've played it i get the every coin thing , and then get it again but couldnt see how to trigger it. The trick seems to be that if you play a spell which removes tiles it replaces them with coins *then* gives you coins for the next turn as well , so in this game I had fun clearning the screen of as many shields as possible then casting Treasure Chamber (every new tile is a coin) Heal (take every healing potion on screen which drops in new coins above) Masochism (turn every coin to an enemy) Killing the enemys to get virtually a whole screen of coins Double money (double each coin taken) When doing this the double money slot would often give 2 or 3 weapon upgrades since a full screen of coins x 2 (plus 0.whatever% I had as a bonus) was enough to push the meter round multiple times. |

My thoughts are somewhere in the middle. There's a solid 4/5 game in there somewhere, but all too often you have to make a leap of faith, and hope that you happen to land on something off-screen. It's enjoyable, and strangely addictive, but fundamentally broken. 2/5. |

I agree the leap of faith thing can be annoying, but I suspect there might be some trick to it. A mate of mine got a score of 700k. |

I just wrote a feature on these kinds of games, so I've played dozens of the things over the past few weeks, and this new one really doesn't stack up well at all. |

On reviewing that game, I think I blasted right through the game, and then got my arse handed to me in the intergalactic cup—and that was about it. On the way to the cup, I didn't lose a single game and scored several in every game. |

I think I've kind of got the hang of Unpleasant Horse now - rather than taking constant leaps of faith, I wait for a bird to jump at. It slows the pace of the game somewhat, and there is still some reliance on leaps of faith, but I've broken 100K twice now. |

One with Masocism seems obvious - along with the halfling to bump up the armour rating of the perks I like the 5% mana potions and 5% arrows , and I always wait for treasure chamber to max out coins (my best recent game was with those 2 plus heal and repair(? - the one which collects all shields)) CraigGrannell wrote: Is anyone running Dungeon Raid on an iPhone 3GS?

I had it running fine on a 3GS and a 4 , however I will say it really eats up the battery , way much more than virtually anything else on the device - my 3GS it would kill , and it still makes a big dent on my 4 |

If you want to get really silly, make Enchant your 4th skill otherwise try Double Damage, Teleport or convert-skulls-to-swords so all your eggs aren't in one basket. If I'm going this way, I like to use the Changeling (who instantly refills a skill when you kill a special and so gives me a 25% chance of giving me a free Enchant), the Perk that gives automatic bonuses for collecting 10+ tiles and the Perk that doubles Regeneration effects so I can save potions to be hoovered up as Skill Potions. |

Also, I've found being a lizard dude quite useful for extra bonuses when buying new kit. Also also, I was disappointed that hitting 'treasure chamber' and then 'teleport' doesn't give a room full of gold. Oddly, my highest score thus far (28,590) came as a low-level lizard due with treasure chamber, collect potions as health, enchant and kill baddies stood next to coins (which worked rather well with treasure chamber!). I got: 859 turns 5941 XP 13906 GP 3884 UP My records for individual score such as that are: Turns = 1034 XP = 11811 GP = 13906 UP = 4727 |

GNAAARRGGHH!!! I was on FIYAH in a game of Dungeon Raid (which should probably have its own thread, tbf), using Treasure Chamber, Skill Elixir, Collect Coins and Charge (pick up all edge tiles). Then I accidentally dropped (using Charge) an Assassin to the bottom rank, and couldn't get him near a sword, so as well as attacking he hit me for 280HP a turn via a stab, until I died. Gutted. Thought I was impregnable. Still, my new record is now 72,500. Woop woop. |

You keep playing as an adventurer and killing special monsters , you'll get other cups/trophys for additional classes and if you play as those you can level them up to use the races with other character sets or use their special abilities. |
