Kilofix Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) iOS game. Battlefleet Gothic: Leviathan by Grand Cauldron https://appsto.re/us/es5cbb.i Blood Angels Imperium vs Tyranids Campaign but skirmish also available with Imperium vs Imperium. Various classes and sub classes of ships available. Control battle groups of them. http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Yi9IUtT4b30/V3417ddhmAI/AAAAAAAAAYo/lWpuPbmQf8c/s2048-no/IMG_1817.PNG Turn based but free space - no hexes or tiles. Set Power (I.e. Move) and Heading (I.e. Turn) to get Firing Arcs on enemy. http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9KLlgaWHZ_0/V3418uXdF3I/AAAAAAAAAYs/wi_vNfM0kRA/s2048-no/IMG_1818.PNG Combat is a matter of selecting Weapons that are in the appropriate Arcs to target the enemy and then rolling 'dice' to hit and damage. Weapons range from Lances, Batteries, Torpedoes, Attack Craft, Boarding Craft, and some of the more unique Nova / Hell Cannons, etc. http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uFhN8cEjca8/V35DU2OgF8I/AAAAAAAAAZI/Jy_xgQZjA4k/s2048-no/IMG_1821.PNG I believe PC has its own BFG game that's similar but not exactly the same.

MaulerUK Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I saw posters for this at Warhammerfest, I just assumed that it was an expansion for BFG on the PC! Oooohhhhhhh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 They said if it does well they'll eventually put it on Android, which for now sucks for those of us who use such adult devices. ;) Could be months down the line though, last I read.

Kilofix Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Game rules are simple, graphics are simple but strategy seems deep. I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep my broadsides pointed to the enemy while manuevering numerous ships around and trying to avoid explosions, debris, fighters, etc. Also weapons like Torpedoes have travel time, so trying to anticipate where enemy ships will move to, etc. Then when shields are weak on one side, trying to get the other side around to face the enemy. There are also decisions to make like ship orders like making double maneuvers at the expense of shooting, reloading the main weapon, etc. and whether to brace / overcharge shields when fired on at the expense of firing later, etc. Edited July 7, 2016 by Kilofix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0nolith Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Oh wait, this deals with the Blood Angels during the Cryptus Campaign? *looks at avatar, looks at signature, looks at chapter name* ...damn, I'm going to have to play this, aren't I?

Seahawk Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 So just like the board game then eh? One thing I read is that they tried to emulate the board game as much as possible, and get it as close as possible to "Battlefleet Gothic Video Game", and while the Armada game comes somewhat close, they are much farther from the TTG than this little game is, it seems.

Well, we already have BFG Armada on a decent platform. Do we need another one? First is excellent as it is. Link to comment

Kilofix Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Does anybody know if this has a single player skirmish mode? Yes it does. Imperium, Space Marines, Tyranids. Set point limit, pick ships, fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physical sells are still lowering and the boost comes from the rights sold to third parties... Link to comment
JeffTibbetts Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I've been playing through the tutorials and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. Some bad text in there but I'm quite picky, I don't think most folks will care much. I love the strategy, and I missed the board game back in the day so this is a nice treat for me.

RADU LYKAN Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Having played the app game on Saturday night then a game of table top bfg on Sunday I can safely say no other game is going to beat this for faithfully recreating a table top game on a tablet. Just needs a few more races adding ThatOneMarshal 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Well it's no friendly xenos animals go but it's really good and its great to know that's it's close to the tabletop version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyNidus Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I got it a couple of days ago and i've been quite addicted to it. Only wish they had more races available, other than that, this is easily one of the best app purchases i've ever made.

Kilofix Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Love the game. Chaos and Eldar would be great. Am losing badly in the Campaign though, I guess I'm not a very good Battlefleet Commander, hah. MODS - Can probably move this whole thread to Other Games now.

RADU LYKAN Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The campaign is a bit frustrating, winning all of the battles but still losing fleets in the tyranid turn :( The mission against 40 kraken was fun, thought I was going to get minced but killed them all with only the loss of 2 Cobras :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 In campaign battles, even though I'm winning, I always run out of time then the battle ends and both my Fleet and the Tyranid fleet get wiped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 You mean the turn limit? Yeah. I have the same issue. I've started taking a lot more torpedo ships because of the fast work they do. I think the challenge curve is pretty good, but having never played the TT game I feel like there's a lot to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
