The exp+ move system is a nice touch, didn't know they'd be going with that. I had a feeling though, like most iphone games, that the controls would be a bit wonky. I wish there was a usb out for controllers or something. Not even the ipad2 has usb...I guess the guys at apple aren't as bright as they think they are. One would think in 4 years of the iphone being out there, someone woulda figured out a clever way to map controls to an external device. Controls aside, sounds like it's pretty glorious. I take it the scrolling/frame rate/hit detection is good too? Can't wait to see a direct video feed and a full run down of all the stages/bosses/moves/ending.
Holy crap! I didn't know Hard Corps 2 was out =O! Gonna go buy it as soon as I'm done with this post lol. But, back on topic, I beat the game today and... WOW. They really went all out with this game, new attacks, experience system, AMAZING bosses and dialogue (Chin is officially my most favorite DD boss EVER) and a Surprise last boss.. yup, you heard me right, surprise!
But I gotta say.. touch screen really destroys it =\ . Sooo many juggles missed, so many attacks not working, walking diagonally sometimes.. gah it's so frustrating.. especially because the game is REALLY good! The new stages are awesome its just.. gah.. I don't even know what to say anymore about it bc while the controls MAKE the game, something must be said for the awesome game that is directly beneath the surface.
They even added fighting game type mechanics and tricks like crouch cancelling (the act of hitting crouch right as you land from a jump or aerial attack to cancel the recovery time/cut the landing animation and do more juggles and/or move faster) and it's all in there purposely because they tell you how to do it in the in-game "how to play" section!
I'm on a serious love hate tear with this game.. anybody have any requests let me know and I'll upload video for you. Just don't ask for too much gameplay because Im ashamed at how much the controls make me suck lol
