For what is is worth, I have not purchased the expansion but I was able to at least join the game lobby.
Iâm in! I chose Lizards since I just finished the tutorial for them
You know what I should have tested? Whether I could select a dlc army without owning the expansion. I think I may back out and try.
I left and came back in to see if I could select the river folk. I could not. I picked the eyrie because I understand them best. I still suck at the game.
The actual board game has suggested mixes of factions. I donât know if the app version recommends or enforces these mixes. I assume they do this for balance reasons.
I donât know how detailed it is, but there is a âwarningâ (itâs the exclamation mark at the bottom of the screen) if the factions chosen may have âlow interaction.â
I also donât know if it has other similar warnings based on factions chosen.

Oh, this could be interesting. I was definitely confused by this since theyâve already published Master of Magic on Steam, although it is just a modded up version of the original version. I wonder if the remake will incorporate any of the âCaster of Magicâ mod makerâs tweaks?
I asked about Card Hog just yesterday and in a strange coincidence it is on sale today for - free. Perhaps it is more shallow than other games in the same genre that we like around here, but now everyone can try it out, I guess.

Not our usual fare, but âMighty Doomâ has soft launched in New Zealand, and probably other places.
Itâs a twin stick shooter (which only uses one stick) and has a doom theme. Itâs got all of the usual freemium stuff, though the only real timer is an energy timer. There is another chest based timer, but it doesnât restrict gameplay like clash Royale and itâs ilk. It honestly feels more like design by committee and theyâve stuffed a timer in there because everyone else has one.
The gameplay loop is reasonable, with temporary upgrades during your run allowing different builds, and permanent upgrades between runs. Normally permanent upgrades act as a gatekeeping mechanism as you canât continue until you grind them up high enough. The thing that has me curious is that shoot em ups/bullet hell games are intrinsically skill based, so you might be able to finish without the upgrades.
Anyway, would be worth a look if youâre into that kind of game. Iâve no idea what kind of legs itâs got, probably none, but worth a look
Deja vu, anyone?

MaybeâŚ
But also donât expect much post-release content. They make good games but once they publish them they are not all that concerned with future supportâŚ
Divinity Original Sin 2 is out on high end iPads now. I canât play it due to hardware limitations but what a great game to have on a tablet!

They did say all existing Dominion expansions will be available at launch, so hopefully they wonât have to do too much post-release support. Agree 100% with you, thoughâIâm still mad about the lack of a Shards of Infinity expansion.

Shards is dead without expansions. There are only so many times you can play that base game before it becomes stale. That isnât my biggest issue, though - lack of notifications for Race and now Shards with zero indication that they care to fix it does not instill confidence for future games.
If Dominion is a couple bucks Iâll try it out, but based on their previous games Iâm guessing $10. And $5 an expansion gets steep. We will seeâŚ
Temple Gatesâ tweets say the base game is free, expansions will be $5 or $10 each.
