I decided to just go with Soviet tanks, not even messing with the others. I've had a couple of pretty exciting matches, pulling off some total bullshit manuevers...flanking around the opposition and blasting from behind, falling down a hill and taking a random potshot that just happened to blow up a Panzer right next to me, etc.
It's a lot like Steel Diver, actually...but more complex by far.

It took me ~infinity deaths to win once and then maybe 10 more to win an additional two times. I think the biggest disservice the art does is it made me think it was a light fluffy game where actually it has a seriously steep learning curve, and it's a different curve for each class. And most classes have at least two types of decks they can build, sometimes more hybrid ones as well, which make the decisions on which cards to buy and which to skip even better.
Fantastic game, easily the best I've played in quite a while.
Also playing Botanicula with my wife after kid's bedtime. Super cute straightforward adventure game. The sound effects are someone's voice going "buzz" and "boing!" and are fantastic.

Yeah, we'll probably try it with her a bit after we finish. The beginning is super cute but she is super ooper sensitive and there's some funky shit with the spiders as the game goes on. Still, worth a shot.

It's all in the game, man
Not what you would expect for a movie tie in for $5 well spent.

I'm really bad at it. there are definetely some annoyances with the app. most everything has hover text (or tap and hold text) which is great. except that the hovertext shows up underneath the icon instead of above...which is right where you hand is. blech.
I haven't noticed the hover text at all actually, but I'm already familiar with Cyanide's version, so learning the system wasn't that hard for me. I highly recommended turning on the option that shows the opposition's tackle zones though.

I may need to download the Living rulebook to learn how to play the app

World is a steampunky version of our own, so if you hate steampunk, you might think twice.

Yes, you definitely need to read the rulebook to learn how to play. I skipped the tutorial so I'm not sure what all it covers, but rulebook is a must read.

Anybody ever play the Naval Tactics app? Either this game is brutally hard, or I am just fucking terrible at it. Or possibly both.
