Talisman Prologue

First, I think we should consider a "Video Games" section.

Anyhow, I dropped the 10$ on Talisman Prologue so I could report on it. Not being a huge Talisman fan, I went in with middling expectations. I was surprised that I liked it slightly more than I thought.

It's a mission-based single-player affair, which pretty much has you running in circles trying to do something like "go to the Village, then the Chapel, then the Woods". It has like 10 character types, 5 missions per character. I got through the warrior and troll, and am on the druid at this point.

It's worth 10$, but no more. Good graphics, good sound, non-annoying music, and my only complaint is that when you have strength 15 you shouldn't need to roll to kill a 1 strength boar. It should automatically just die. I know it's part of the narrative, but it's a time waster.

Weak Seven.

When the REAL Talisman game comes out, I'll autobuy that based on this, I guess is what I'm saying. It's DRM free, which is nice, so I can put it on several devices.

The iOS port should be a perfect match for this...it's all click-based. No reason it would need anything special.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the iOS version, and even then I'll probably wait for the version that's got multiplayer.

Got to review this for Gamezebo. I'm not a Talisman fan, but I enjoyed Prologue a lot.

If Zev were to Kickstart development of an iOS or PC version of Prophecy, I'd throw hundred dollar bills at him.

Just sayin'.

There are a lot of Z-Man published games that should be on iOS.

I think the iOS version hits on Feb. 28.

Right now, I can't remember where I saw that; it might have just been in a random thread over at BGG.

After a couple weeks of playing this, I'm prepared to say this: DON'T.

This POS has crashed all of 20 times now, and it's so bollocksed that now the Monk's +1 power has completely disappeared. Just doesn't work.

About every third game it crashes and resets the tutorial so that I have to deal with BS popups every time I do anything for the first game. And then 2 games later, crash, rinse, repeat.
