“Solomon’s Keeps” – One of the Best Action RPGs in the App Store

by Jason Mosley on October 30, 2010 · 1 comment

There are a few action RPG’s for the iPhone but for some reason Solomon’s Keeps by Raptisoft is the only one I can’t put down. The games story is kind dumb but the gameplay makes up for it. It reminds me of a simpler Diablo, Blizzards action RPG for the PC, which I use to play in High School.

In Solomon’s Keep you move around and shoot using the popular dual stick control scheme. As you kill enemies you gain experiences points, which you use to gain levels and learn new skills. Gold and magic items are found throughout the game. Gold is useful for buying health and manna potions or buying skill upgrades. Items are rare but give you an edge in the game when the going gets tough.

There are ton of different baddies that try to kill you in this game like skeletons, zombies, and imps, just to name a few. There are also 21 skills to master and 50 weapons to wield. So killing them only gets easier the longer you stay alive.

The point of the game is to reach the top of Solomon tower and kill Solomon himself. This never gets boring since the game creates random dungeons and monsters, each time you start a new game.

OMG play this game if you love to play action RPGs. This is one of the good ones and the developers are consistently listening to feedback and improving the game.

OMG don’t play this game if you’re expecting a great story to take you thought the game. This game is about killing your way to the top and nothing else. For me this is a good thing, for others they may find it lacking.

Overall this is a great action RPG that keeps getting better with each update. I am really impressed with how fast the developers are updating this game with new content. For only 1.99 you’re getting a lot of game for your cost of admission. I have had this game for months and I still play it. If you are on the fence, I would suggest you try out the lite version.

“We Rule” – It’s like Farmville but on your iPhone

by Jason Mosley on June 22, 2010 · 0 comments

Ngmoco, famous for making freemium games, and Newtoy, famous for making Words with friends, teamed up and relased “We Rule”. The game is a Farmville clone; you know the game all the people at your office play on the clock, but instead of just farming your “ruling” a kingdom.

The game features over 20 varieties of crops to grow, 50 unique structures to build, and a few other bells and whiles to manage. The game connects with Ngmoco’s Plus+ network so you can connect with your friends (which is an important part of the game). Also since is a freemium game there is plenty of mojo to spend real sash on. Mojo is a magical potion that makes your crops grow faster.

Like Farmville, We Rule is nothing more than a time management game. The only real motivation to keep playing is to make money to create the coolest looking kingdom. Don’t get me wrong, the interface is very well done which does make it enjoyable to play. But if you don’t have a network of friends to play it with expect to get bored with the game in a few weeks.

OMG play this game if you like time management games or the office got wise and blocked Facebook and/or Flash to increase work productively.

OMG don’t play this is you don’t have other friends with iPhones. It’s a lonely game without friends and you may slip in to a deep depression.

Overall I think the game is one of the best time management games on the iPhone. The graphics, interface, and animation really add a lot to this game. I am going to continue playing this game for now but I can’t see me sticking with it for much longer. They say they’re going to be adding more updates soon so I will keep you posted if they add more game play.
