Hey everyone - I'm still around. Trying to adjust to life with a kid now! Anyways I have been playing a IOS game lately called Knights and Dragons and it has been super addicting! I have actually been enjoying all aspects of the game so far, even the PvP and Guild Battles - And I usually stick as far away from PvP as possible.
Couple of notes - This is by far a pay to win game. You can use real money to purchase gems and then in turn use the gems to purchase chests which give out random rewards including the best armors in the game - However, you can still do really well without sinking a lot of money (or any) into the game. I spent the $1.99 to get the starter pack which is a few gems, a little money, and a descent set of armor. I have nothing against putting a couple of dollars into a game that I like if it's free to play.
The game basically revolves around your knights and their armor. You can upgrade or "Fuse" new armor. There are quite a few stages to get through with different bosses as well. When you defeat a boss with a special attack they drop pieces to armor that you can then have your blacksmith use to create new armors. The higher quality armors take quite a few more pieces so it will take a few times through a stage to get everything you need.
