Monsto Brukes Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 If you're not, yes the title actually has that fucked up plural thing going on. It's a mobile game that has a KINDA pokemon thing going on: critters & upgrading & evolution. That's the "dragons" part. the "puzzle" part is a 6x5 board of 5 different colored orbs. pick one, slide it around the board for a few seconds displacing other orbs into match-3's (or more). combining the puzzle and the dragons is hard to explain... just try it. I read something one day that the company that made this game was making $2-3 million a day off this game. Must be fun, so lets see. I have a real mean streak in me when it comes to In Game Purchases (IGP). . . I don't do it. matter of fact, when i got my nexus 7 last summer, it came with a $25 credit on Play. I still have $19. I bought Unified Remote (a wifi based pc remote control that I use for my media center pc in the living room) because it is really really fucking good program. I never was much of a pokemon/magic the gathering kinda guy. Matter of fact, i was the dad that was like "why the hell do you want to play this?" when my kids wanted those cards in the 90s. But this isn't pokemon. I've got >50 days straight playing this thing on a device where I haven't kept any single game more than a week and wind up pitching most games after :20 because the IGP is so blatant. Oh you're going to make me wait 12 hours? I can cut this down and play now by spending gems or credits or feeding roses to the beetle or unwrapping a mummy or casting stars into the sky and hoping I get a rainbow that shits grenades or or or or or or . . . or basically plunking tokens into the machine. Pass. Anyway, P&D is fun. I play it usually a couple times a day for an hour or so, or longer if I have a bunch of upgrading to do... and it keeps me coming back without beating me over the head with IGP which is really subtle. It's there, but it's not a nag, nor does it get in the way. Even now when I think I've hit a wall, the only thing the IGP would do is shorten the time it will take me to get over it. Anyway, if you start playing, here's my player id: 396,961,266 If you add me as a friend, then "send a gift" to me, we will both get a 4+ star critter at a time when all you'll have or get would be 1 and 2* . . . and I could use the help getting over this wall. The gift literally is win win. It's one of many in-game mechanics to get you to make friends. Puzzle & Dragon Links: Android Game + Android Guide iTunes Online guide (with all kindsa extra shit).
Monsto Brukes Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 what the hell. . . i dunno how it wound up here. . . I SWEAR i posted it in general/general. jesus christ. [edit] just in case a mod sees this, thinking back i THINK i had been looking in skyrim/general, and then went to general/general to post but I honestly have no idea how it wound up here. [edit edit] as i copied the text from here to general/general, I KNOW i posted it there as I read the "nexus" post there before posting. bug? no tellin.
pringles89 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 i've been playing for several monthes and really enjoy it. would recommend it to others to play. it is a lot of fun without needing to spend money on it. what colors/teams do you play?
Monsto Brukes Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 i'm only rank 52 and I'm at a wall. I have to build a team from scratch everytime I open up a new area, and then it takes me more and more try's to clear the area. my critters seriously need upg but you can't get stones till you clear whole areas, and I can't clear the areas cuz my guys are weak. Right now I'm waiting for the 60 day mark so I can get the free stones and hopefully get a 5 or 6* guy. My draws have been really poor I think. And I'm not about to give them any money. . . one of the forums I was reading, people were talking about having spent hundreds on it. What? I don't think so. The thing I like about the game, tho, is that the game isn't pay-to-win. I have legitimate opportunities to get past the obstacles without paying thru the nose for it.
