"Stardock Entertainment has been around for years and they’ve had their hands in a variety of software endeavors. Originally known for making Microsoft Windows usability applications (such as WindowBlinds), they’ve sought to diversify with game development. Now they’re making a name for themselves in the game space with strategy titles like Sins of a Solar Empire and Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes. Stardock is looking to diversify once more with Dead Man’s Draw, their first entry on the iOS platform. How does it hold up? Has it earned its loot or should be drowned at the bottom of sea? Let’s find out."
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Ya it's a pretty decent sale but The Taken King, MGSV, Fallout 4 soon... too many games.
The scheme Dead Man's Draw is quite simple. There is a deck of cards numbered 2-7 10 offsuit. In our turn we get a letter and we will continue to remove cards from the deck to stop and add up all the cards or withdraw a letter of the same suit and ai have to discard everything. The score at the end of the game is the sum of the cards in each suit, but the particularity of Dead Man's Draw are the skills that each suit has and that is activated whenever we get a new card to the deck.
DHGF: The risk/reward gameplay combined with just the right amount of strategy makes Dead Man’s Draw a fun casual game. While it might not be heavy on the features, the gameplay gets mixed up enough to keep things fresh, even when playing for hours on end. It might be a bit too steep at ten bucks, but fans of casual/strategy games will likely have a lot of fun with this one.
Sounds like a pretty decent ios game, might have to check this one out.
