Instead of actually playing it I've just been watching those YouTube videos of Ironman Impossible mode by Beagle. Really entertaining

Revive for the iOS version, out today. Never did get it for the Mac, this may be the platform for me.

Mac version?!?!
― the late great, Thursday, 20 June 2013 22:37 (ten years ago) link
The iOS version is reportedly identical in gameplay, they just down rezzed textures & models to cut the memory requirements. Kinda wish I waited for it (as touch screen seems a more natural interface than mouse).

i bet it would be great on the ipad. iphone seems way too small tho.

― Nhex, Friday, 21 June 2013 18:00 (ten years ago) link

pc to ios
― we're up all night to get (s1ocki), Friday, 21 June 2013 18:15 (ten years ago) link
It doesn't have as many maps? The console version already doesn't have enough maps
― polyphonic, Friday, 21 June 2013 19:50 (ten years ago) link
you don't have enough maps

― Mordy , Thursday, 27 June 2013 22:08 (ten years ago) link

ok i lost russia and australia but i've got satellites over everyone else. can i still win?
― the late great, Sunday, 30 June 2013 00:10 (ten years ago) link
wait that was a dumb question, i just figured out how satellites work - can't stack satellites, right?

My usual squad is 2 support, 2 snipers, 1 heavy, 1 assault
this is working all right for me
everyone's working with titan armor and plasma or alloy weapons too
can i just grind away for awhile and ignore the confounding light / alien base missions until i'm rich?
― the late great, Sunday, 30 June 2013 04:19 (ten years ago) link
normally I go with 2 assault, but yeah. My view is that you should accept every mission available to you.
― Neil S, Sunday, 30 June 2013 09:59 (ten years ago) link
well i beat the game on normal difficulty. south america turned out to be a really killer base option - quickly shortcutting research trees by instantly interrogating / dissecting aliens is cool. once i had titan armor and plasma weapons the game was kind of a breeze. in fact i think the game went a bit too fast.
i just started a new game on classic and got slaughtered on the first mission. have a feeling normal -> classic is a pretty huge step up in difficulty. or maybe i just forgot how shitty the game is at first before you have decent skills / armor / weapons.

FYI Mordy, I just grabbed the PC/Mac Steam version for $13 off a third-party online retailer - expect a similar discount once Steam kicks off its Summer Sale later this week or next
― Nhex, Monday, 8 July 2013 16:06 (ten years ago) link
classic difficulty infuriates the shit out of me when my squad members cant hit a target 5 feet away but the aliens are making critical plasma pistol shots from the oppposite edge of the map
