Not out till June though (Rad Soldiers that is). How am I supposed to control my impulse buy reaction to something I cant even buy?

Anybody having trouble with gratuitous space battles iOS hanging when attempting to tap on buttons? Might just be me, but have reset the 3rd gen iPad, reinstalled etc and still seems to be a random problem.

Looks great otherwise and happy its been ported.

Just got back from hols…
This has apparently been fixed by the guys who did the port (AFAIK), but the update is currently pending approval by apple :(

I do not think anyone was really that worried… we all know it will get fixed eventually. :>)

I’m interested and was set to purchase, and then I found out there’s In-App-Purchasing for unit XP. So it’s on hold for me until someone determines the extent of IAP and how pervasive it is.

I ended up picking it up and giving it a whirl after all.

I am not a strategy game buff, but I’m enjoying it so far. I think I’m 4 or 5 missions in (not counting the tutorial). The experience points buy upgrades for your buildings which in turn affects your units. The main missions aren’t granting experience, but there are side missions that will give you experience. So far it seems like every two main missions opens up 1 or 2 side missions for experience. The side missions that I’ve done are dealing with certain situations with limited resources, as in build 7 buildings in this tiny space or take out 2 cannons with only 2 samurai and 2 musketeers.

From the looks of things, it seems like the in app purchases are not strictly required, but will definitely make your life easier. I won’t know for sure until I start flailing around in the higher levels.

Thanks nKoan. Keep us posted!

If I may, can I please promote my new iOS game “Volodymyr” here. It’s really a kids/family friendly game. This ain’t no Max Payne.
