Pros and cons of Calculords app for iPhone and iPad
Calculords app good for
I love the concept of this game. I was looking for a game that was not a knock off of a popular game and I found it here. Keep it up.
What looks at first sight like a fun, harmless app will soon take over every minute of your life and alienate you from all you hold dear...
A neat idea, good mechanics, charming artstyle. IAP are fair and nicely implemented.
Challenge ramps up fairly. All seemed well!
But lo and behold! When ive reached the 4th enemy (Cos-something...) evil reared its ugly face. Not only his deck is frustratingly overpowered (you usually discard half or more of your hand at every turn), my so-far bugless experience was also over: app crashes and a strange bug where my calculator overlaps red and blue numbers (thus becoming unplayable) startedto happen everytime i played.
If fixed, a 5 star must buy from Seanbaby and co.
( also, devs, pls kill this cos-dude. I hate him)
The game mechanics are a bit opaque at first but delightful and good fun all the same, and ever growing!
Thanks for this great smart non-obtrusive educational strategy battle adventure!
Ive long thought CCGs to be too much in the planning and not enough in the playing, but Calculords takes that notion and obliterates it utterly. Making each turn dependent on both the construction of your deck as well as your ability to actively manipulate and recombine your available resources makes for some thoroughly exciting gameplay.
Theres way more depth in this than I ever would have expected.
This is an amazing game that deserves 5 Stars. In a store plagued with 8bit games that offer nothing new; Here comes a truly one of a kind experience that revitalize the CCG genre and uses the old-school look with an artistic touch of its own! I cant stop playing it!
This game is wonderful. Its rare to find something so well executed and unique on the App Store. Love the clever mechanics and fun writing.
Some bad moments
Game is decent but crashes at level 3. Wont stay open long enough to play
The game works in tutorial mode, but crashes after that. Please help!!!
To put it simply, HORRID touch screen problems, you cant even beat the training.Because you can only touch certain Numbers in the caIculator. I mean a touch screen game where the touch screen doesnt work!? Tsk tsk. Enjoy my 3 bucks you swindlers!
Calculords is a clever turn-based lane battle strategy game with great pixel art and funny characters to fight. The big problem is that figuring out how to best "spend" your deck of numbers on units is slow and boring, especially because you really need to use ALL of the numbers whenever possible so that you get a bonus set of numbers to use. Most of your time is spent thinking "Okay, I need a 54 to summon those guys, so maybe I can use 8x8-(3+1+6) except I need the 6 to summon those bike guys..." Thats not fun! The math gimmick COULD have worked if you were able to mix and match the number cards into equations freely until you came up with a good solution, but the interface is too clumsy is and forces you to do everything in your head ahead of time.
Would freeze mid battle and I couldnt do anything but quit. Happened twice in a row, so I had to bail on this app.
Awesome game!! Works well, requires thinking, and difficult to master.
