Hello,

Have anyone played the game Invisible Dragons for iOS? If so what’s your thoughts?

It's not terrible accessible-wise, but it's a bit boring and samey  in my opinion. That being said, I'd much prefer to peruse the game from a classic keyboard, so the interface really isn't selling me.

If you for whatever reason wish to contact me, the best way to do so is through Discord (Minionslayer#2980). You'll get the quickest response times, and by extension, a higher priority. I also sometimes post my thoughts (for the better or worse) over on Twitter at @Minionslayer2.

I played it a while ago, but honestly, even for someone who likes incremental games, its just not that interesting, the numbers get meaninglessly large very quickly, there are very few things to produce with only terse descriptions, you have to wait ages for a new object, the production tree is very linear, and the prestige mechanics once you get to them add nothing new to the mix at all.

I've even heard that the ultimate prestiege mechanic is broken, or maybe inaccessible, though they might have fixed this since then.

If you want a similar game, go play the browser version of swarmsim (the Ios version is inaccessible), since it has exactly the same resource tree and mechanics for its food producers, but food is only one of five different types of resource which each have their own different production chains and methods, along with achievements, spells, buffs, remorting and lots of other interesting things.

it's good for a while but it gets boring quickly. Plus, the numbers get so large in the game that, at one point, it just breaks and your production stops entirely.

Hi.
I played the game a lot two years ago, and it is accessible with a few work arounds which are easy to deal with.
I like all the things you can unlock. I haven't beaten it though. The game takes months to play. I played it for like a half year if not longer, and I still unlocked new things.
The only big issue there is in the game which forced me to stop playing is that multitasking is broken. That means the phone have to be unlocked and the game have to be opened for the game to make any progress. I think that's because the game hasn't been updated for very long time. If it wasn't for that bug, then I would have completed the game now.

Best regards SLJ.

@SLJ, Are you sure that's not a bug? It could be a feature implemented specifically to prevent you from getting ridiculously high numbers while having the game closed, though I admit I haven't played that far, so I'm not sure.
I suppose it's not a bad game for new-comers to the genre in some ways (what with the limited amount of resources), but the lack in progress could turn players away potentially. I am enjoying Perceptron, because the game can take ages, those paths are actually optional, and not mandatory to continue onwards.

I recall playing this game awhile ago. It was a so-so time killing app if nothing else. The biggest issue is as someone else mentioned once you got to a certain multiplier the game would simply stop working, freezing all your production to 0.0 , leaving you no choice but to restart your game. It was a known issue and never fixed.

@Minionslayer, the game used to run fine when the phone was locked, indeed when I was playing, I was basically just checking in once or twice a day to see if I could create anything new. I suspect this is as Nolly says, the game needs updating.

In terms of unlocks, I'll also say that I did find it a bit frustrating that there were so few objects in the game, or rather, the further you got into the game, the harder it was to see anything new, and at most for each new thing you'd just get one sentence of description, that's why after remorting four times I stopped playing before I got that bug with your production going too high.

@Dark, I admit, the descriptions and overall atmosphere of the game was very dull and dry. There was barely any meat or potatoes to the game.

@nolly: I haven't seen that bug. But, you're restarting the game anyway to unlock new stuff, so it doesn't hurt that much.
@Minionslayer: Yes that's a bug, since the description in the game says that the game should run in the background. It happened for me in an old IOS update, and the game hasn't been updated in ages.

How far along in the game are you? It doesn't happen in the first few restarts, it's when you really start to ramp up your production multipliers. You will know you  are close when you can jump ahead with ease nearly to the point you were before restarting. I've run through the game many times and every ssingle time you will hit the 0.0 production bug. It doesn't matter what you do or how slow you decide to raise your production, it will happen, just a matter of when. This was one of the main issues which caused a lot to give up the game.

Well, I've unlocked 9 dragons if I remember correctly, and restarted like 10 times if not more. I've unlocked things using cult like 4 times, so I got pretty far.

Hi all,
I am trapped in the game. I should use sacrifice cult but when I press Sacrifice button nothing happens. What's wrong?
Another thing, IOS game has background bug, but Ipad OS hasn't got.
Best regards

The sacrifice thing is broken which is why I stop playing this game.

Please explain: How is it broken? I don't had any issues then I played the game.

When I try to sacrifice, the video just plays and never stops. This started happening after I updated ios.

2021-04-26 08:07:57

Okay. I haven't played for very long time. What I did was stopped Voiceover, tabbed the video screen once, started Voiceover again and then I could continue.
