Over the past several weeks, I’ve been investing an average of an hour daily into DOTA2. I suck at it, but I somehow managed not to get completely destroyed by the infamous community. Since there’s nothing else I can write about, I’ll share my experiences.
So, the last time in Might and Magic, I entered the Inn in Portsmith with the intention to write down any rumors and then reload my game to continue from Sorpigal, since Portsmith is a bad place for non-girls. Something happened, though…
I pretty much explored most of the cave near Sorpigal, with only the tough encounter rooms remaining. Instead of bashing my head against the wall, I decided to do some easier encounters in the jail of Sorpigal, to earn some money and recover from all the deaths.
I’ve fully mapped the wilderness of Sorpigal. Well, I mostly fully mapped it. It turns out, I forgot to mark the transition to the northern region in the northeastern part of the map, but I’ll correct that at some point in the future. In case, it was time to give the cave near Sorpigal a try.
I finally got a chance to test what happens if you lose all of your lives in Tomba! You die and it’s game over, pretty much. After a reload, I decided to be more careful and went on to fight my first boss.
Pixel Dungeon is another Android game I’ve been playing recently. It’s a roguelike made specifically for this platform, so the interface makes it very playable. Is it good, though? I think it is, and there’s plenty I can say about it.
My two choices were to either take a look at what’s outside the city of Sorpigal, or to give the leprechaun a gem and teleport to some other random city. Technically, I could also use the portal in the dungeon, but the cave it leads to was still too dangerous.
I only had another 30 minutes to play Tomba! but I managed to squeeze quite a few things into those, primarily because I seem to be more focused when I’m in a hurry.
With Sorpigal fully mapped and a level gained, it was time to try my luck with the dungeon below it. Might and Magic doesn’t lead the player into the “next area” at all, but I figured the dungeon below the starting town should be OK for a level 2 party.
Only a week passed since I last played Tomba! this time, so I wasn’t as lost as I was in my previous posting. Since I was only able to play for about half an hour, I took the time to tie up some loose ends.
