Maybe Battleheart is the game that originally combined RPG mechanics, RTS and touch-drag character controls to create the smooth, interactive experience that I enjoyed in Raid Leader.
(or maybe there was another one before that...)
Even so, personally I find the realization too crude to my taste, and the gameplay somewhat repetitive.
This is my iPad game #1!
It is like World of Warcraft but with the option you can get out of it at any time. Gather a party and combine their skills to take down hordes and hordes of monsters. Level-Up to get stronger and take down even more monsters. :)
Graphics are awesome, gameplay is well balanced and it is a huge fun to try out to find the weakness of your enemies.
I like the premise of this game, and it's cute, but gameplay is difficult for me due to the too-crowded nature of the playfield (too hard to select the player character that you want, especially during tense moments) during battle. If this game had been made at more of a top-down angle, rather than with a sort of side-perspective, then this the game would have been far more playable and the characters more easily managed during battle.
The assistive nature of the merchants and armory is well done though, and it's clear they thought through the UI components of those screens, I just wish more thought had ben given to the battle aspect.
Some other (easily fixable) niggles include the ability to NOT play through the tutorial every time you create a new game and there are some longer loading times than I would have expected.
This game incorporates the classic theme of constructing a battle crew to fight foes with a new twist which forces you to use immense strategy to keep your team alive. Needless to say this App is super addicting and I would recommend getting hooked on it asap if you like this type of game. The only thing that annoys me is how often it crashes and doesn't save any progress. other than that it's a superb game
