The AR is awesome. fabianb Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2014 1,009 0 36 #4 fabianb, Sep 25, 2017 Would love to see some more impressions. So the AR works nice in this game. What about the actual gameplay? Is it balanced? Can you play with multiple strategies. How is this competitive (rankings?).

So please keep it that way otherwise it will become a mess of a forum if this keeps happening. On topic: Anyone with impressions about the actual gameplay? Is the game balanced? Are there actual strategies? Ranked multiplayer? Etc? Not just the wow AR is great in this game! kind of stuff. #Bonk3rZ Well-Known Member Mar 20, 2014 335 36 28 top of the world #7 #Bonk3rZ, Sep 27, 2017 Last edited: Sep 28, 2017 Deleted. badmanj Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2009 1,886 24 38 Software developer Reading, England http://www.underground-collective.com #8 badmanj, Sep 27, 2017 To be honest I think the 'is a constant connection required' is a reasonable and on-topic question. I'd like to know the answer too, since if there's a single-player mode that doesn't need to be online I'd be very interested. Can't see how this is de-railing the thread at all. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 3 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #9 Exact-Psience, Sep 27, 2017 There was a long conversation where the thread got hijacked by a different game. It has since been fixed by the admins. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 704 113 #10 anthony78, Sep 27, 2017 Could be wrong but I dont think thats what he was referring to. There were some other posts about a completely different game that have since been removed. MetaGonzo Well-Known Member May 7, 2009 1,459 271 83 #11 MetaGonzo, Sep 28, 2017 4.99 seemed like a bargain until I realised I needed to buy a bigger table and a bigger house to put it in. Looks great but you need space. I wonder what sort of IAP expenditure a new house would run to. Maybe a consumable; Neighbours living room: 24h: 9.99 Theres a market here, people. fabianb Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2014 1,009 0 36 #12 fabianb, Oct 6, 2017 I see they added a scale slider in the last update. They seems to be updating this game like non-stop! Any impressions after all these updates? (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
