Free. Get it

Looks sweet. Downloading right now.

ty. ive been waiting to check this one out. reminds me of mass effect...loved that game.

Absolutely amazing. This is what I was expecting of tetra. Beautiful graphics and seems like a real game. Set the graphics to high and its still silky smooth, but I am overclocked to 1.6

How much can you play before having to pay 15 bucks to get the full game?

I get the feeling we are being drawn into it and then asked for cash. Looks like a nice game on the TF screen. I had assumed this was a multiplayer online game to start off with. Feels a bit like Dark Prophecy.

Edit: Updated OP post for "1 solar"

Is it me or does it run kinda bad? (medium details).

I'm running the game on the highest settings and it plays perfectly. Played for about an hour and really like it. Will consider getting the full game if it continues to be compelling.

Overclocked or stock?
Im getting huge framedrops on high , even on medium. 3.1 Stock

Everything stock and running it on High. Very smooth and I'm very impressed. It is rather pricey though.

+1 stock here and nice and smooth on high settings

Good looking game and like above running fine on high (I'm @ 1.6Ghz tho) - At work so haven't had a proper play but will do over the weekend.

Wow, thanks for posting. Maybe making a sticky/corner for quality apps that are free?

Hello,
I've installed it too on a stock "non-overclocked" TF.
It works very nice in full details.
I also tried it some weeks ago on an iPad.
Graphics were quite "old-fashioned" on the iPad.
I'm pretty impressed to see bumped textures, etc...
Great.

done ....was waiting for it

damn, what makes this worth $5 more than the ipad version?

I guess i am done with the free part. I play on all high on g2x. runs perfect. but how do i get back in the first solar system?

I think it's awesome, and I don't think the price is unfair considering I would pay a quid or 2 for games normally, whereas this has awesome graphics and a lot of gameplay and clearly would have taken a lot more time/money to develop than the average game. As such I'm gonna pay for it, it's my kind of game
Just to warn people though, if you want to try it out for a decent amount of time then just do freelance missions and stuff, it turns out that if you follow the story mode then you end up in another solar system pretty soon and you can't get back to the first (which you can play for free), then you can't do anything unless you pay.

anyone have trouble launching the game I finished downloading the assests on my eeepad and now i just get a black screen when i launch
EDIT: Uninstall and deleted SD Card game assets and reinstall fixed my problem.

[Q] RPG Games for Honeycomb

Anyone know any good final fantasy type RPGs that work on honeycomb? There is one called Spectral Souls I found in the market but it looks to be in japanese. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have spectral souls, and it's not in japanese:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hyperdevbox.spectralsouls
Also- Check out BattleHeart. It's much less involved than Final Fantasy, and not turn-based, but it's ton's of fun:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.KelliNoda.Battleheart

I suggest you use various emulators for android to play RPG's such as final fantasy. Also as said before battleheart is a decent one, although imo its not really Final Fantasy like.

Like you I've been keeping my eye out for some good RPG's for Honeycomb and haven't found much yet.
Emulators and some of the older ones are awesome but the emulators don't make use of a touch screen (apart from a emulated d-pad) and its the same problem with Spectal souls... I mean they go so far to get a huge tablet RPG but then don't make it fully touch?! You use emulated buttons to navigate around (apart from turning the camera! WOO!)
Battlehearts is pretty cool but a bit simple - awww can't win with me it seems
Would like souls to make use of a full touch screen (i will buy it then) or waiting for something new to come around.

I've been scouring looking for a nice android rpg but find myself in the same situation.
I'll be experimenting with the ps3 controller hooked up to the dock soon and will likely play psone rpgs that I never got around to playing years ago.
I got about 10 hours of enjoyment from battleheart, it was fun.
There's actually not many games at all optimized for honeycomb, but hopefully soon.
Been itching to try Souls but haven't succumbed to the temptation to drop the money for it.

Anything good for HC?

if i could get uae4droid to work on the asus i'd be playing some of the KRYNN series from SSI (champions of krynn, etc.). Apparently it's a deep dark secret how to actually get the kickstart to work with the emulator.

Any games that offer real-time iOs/Android multiplayer?

Having one Android tablet and one ipad in the house makes gaming really boring. Are there any multiplayer games that allows for cross-platform action between the two os'? I'm not talking OpenFeint, I mean simultanious, real-time, multiplayer.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I've been wanting to check out Order & Chaos from Gameloft to see if it's cross-platform. The only app I've actually done cross-platform "gaming" with is Words With Friends. I can play simultaneously with my friend's iPod Touch/iPhone, but this is with my Nexus S. I haven't seen any cross-platform tablet gaming.. except MAYBE Order and Chaos.

Dungeon Defenders, Asphalt 6 (may not let you log in to Gameloft Live after 3.1 update???), Guerilla Bob but I think it's local network only. If Gun Bros would ever get the online update you could add it to the list. Also Pocket Legends works great and the devs have a new games coming out in the next couple weeks with a space theme. Skies of Glory worked on phones but it crashes on tablet.

Reckless racing and raging thunder to the list

Homerun battle

Pool break pro

Damn, this is looking dismal
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

I think Dungeon Defenders supports cross platform for iOS and Android. When it is released on Xbox360, PS3, and PC, it will supposedly allow cross platform between all systems.

Pocket legends and words with friends

I know it has been on the list a few times already, but pocket legends. I play that on my phone (also worked on my acer iconia a500) and my friend plays it on his iphone when we are both working. Excellent way to waist time.

While I haven't got my TF101 yet, I do play X-Plane and Starfront: Collision crossplatform with my brother, he has an iPhone 4 and I use my Galaxy Tab 7". Most Gameloft games that support multiplayer will work, as long as both versions match (eg. my bro and I had to make sure we both had v1.0.6 of SF:C but as long as both are on latest should be fine).

It is? Cross platform gaming doesn't really exist too much anywhere. I think this list is a great start to that happening more and more.

guerrilla bob THD! you can play it on your android device and fight against ios, windows and osx

game compatibility issues now that I upgraded to the infinity from the prime

So I recently upgraded to the infinity and I am loving it the speed and screen resolution are awesome! much better then the prime. However, there are a few games I bought while on the prime that seem to have issues on the infinity...I should have seen this seeing as the resolution is better. Anyways the games are:
Dead space (I am really upset about this one, I was just about to beat it on the prime).
Order and Chaos
The Sims FreePlay
Modern Combat 3
Any help you all could provide on this would be helpful. Has anyone gotten these games to work on their infinity?
P.S. the fact that the games are either from gameloft or EA hasn't gone unnoticed (we all know how great they are at updating their games).

Have you tried side-loading these apps to see if the really work or not? Sometimes, an app/game will be listed as incompatible for your device in the Play store, but will actually still work fine if side-loaded...

Yeap, what he said. Plus it may help for you to contact them directly. I did this for a game in the past and they provided me an alternative download that still checked that I was authorized, but not the device was authorized. I got an email a month later as a FYI that the app was now gtg for my device (gnote) so I uninstalled/reinstalled (after TBing the game, just incase) the version from the APP store.

yea I emailed them directly yesterday...we'll see what they say.

Modern Combat 3 plays much better on the Infinity vs Prime. I still get connection losses but not as frequent. I'm actually able to finish a few rounds before a connection loss. Game play seems to be much smoother as well.

I have a similar problem with Real Racing and Need For Speed Shift, which are real losses. Can't find an EA Games email address so I hope they're working on it.

RPG Games for the Infinity

Anybody has any suggestion for some good RPG games for the Infinity?
Hopefully, some that would utilize well the good screen resolution of the tablet
I know there's a separate thread for games but I guess RPG gamers out there would appreciate the filter
Thanks a lot ^_^

There's an old buggy port of Baldur's Gate for Android and there's a proper tablet version coming soon, for what it's worth...
I believe you'll find more Diablo-like games (Heroes Call, for example) than proper RPGs which seem to be getting out of fashion, but I'm waiting for some hints here as well, perhaps someone knows something (HD) tablet-optimised.

It's a bit pricey but Square did a good job remaking Final Fantasy 2. It's not out of this world on the graphics but its still fun. Look up some youtube videos of the game play.

One more vote for Final Fantasy III, the game looks amazing on the infinity and the controls are well thought out.
If you're a fan of JRPGS (turn based selection combat) then any of the games by KEMCO are good. The story may not be as epic as chrono trigger, but it gets the job done lol
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lution+Co.,+Ltd.)#?t=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd
Finally you can also play all the old RPGS with an SNES emulator, I suggest https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5idWJibGV6YXBnYW1lcy5zdXBlcmduZXNfbGl0ZSJd
I've been playing all the fan translated rpgs that were released in Japan but not for the US like suikoden 3!

are these turn based?

got that final fantasy III game and i must say that it definitely is awesome... they actually did a lot of change in the graphics compared to the original one...
i wonder what else is out there for our infinity? I just downloaded Horn and so far it looks great... but im actually looking for some more Japanese RPG games similar to final fantasy... any other suggestion?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2

I just noticed DosBox Turbo is available. OH MAN. I wonder if I can get Master of Magic and some other great classics running in it! That really opens up the possibilities!!

I'm crossing my fingers for Gameloft to properly port Order and Chaos to the infinity.
The game was sweet on my Galaxy Nexus, so I wonder how it will be on this baby!
Sent from my Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium

If the you have the snes emulator and a good source of roms, see if they have 7th saga. That was pretty neat growing up. It had about 4 or 5 main characters to play as with different story lines.
While waiting for O&C, check out Iruna Online. I think the company is still working on an official final release but it is promising. You have your group online game play etc. Makes you wonder what Gameloft is doing when a much smaller company can release a beta version of their online game that is compatible with our TF700.

Also if you like old school Baulder's Gate style RPGS I have to recommend Avadon: The Black Fortress

bards tale
the bards tale like the olders versions on mac and ps, the hd version is 3.5gig but its worth it. :good:

Haven't purchased myself yet but Spectral Souls (if you are into Japanese SRPG) has relatively high rating among Japanese community.

looking for those types......................

For turn based I rate the following :
Call of Cthulhu : Wasted Land
Xenowar
The first is a seriously brilliant horror rpg based in H P Lovecraft's world and during the first world war.
The second is a very good remake of X-Com Enemy Unknown.

bringing this back up as Bard's Tale isnt jiving real well with JB for me. Even in performance mode, when you run into several enemies the game slows to a crawl and eventually force closes.
Anyone else having this issue or have a solution?

I bought Bard's Tale HD version (3,5GB) but the performace during the game is really low. I must change Performance mode to MEDIUM ( Infinity actually is the the best Android tablet and I must play in medium level to play without any lags ?? WTF). As the game dedicated for Tegra 3 is really not optimized or Tegra 3 is overrated.

are these appeal based?

I choose Performance mode in tablet settings. Next time to play. In performace options (in game) I choose maximum and let's go. Everything looks really nice (moving around tavern) until you meet the fist enemy. There is fire, big monster and at this moment I have terrible lags. My "hero" is moving so slowly and there is no any pleasure with playing. When I set performance mode (in game) to medium it looks great. So my question is: Tegra 3 is overrated or game not fully optimized or maybe both...
