TRY IT FREE, THEN UNLOCK THE FULL ADVENTURE FROM WITHIN THE GAME! Bring prosperity back to this struggling planet by enhancing the Hawk tribe’s skills and equipment. To end the war once and for all, develop your villages, warriors and weapons by building huts, training grounds, archery ranges, scout lodges and barracks. Help reestablish balance by exploring the islands, gathering sacred Totems and returning them to their home – the Cradle of the North. Now, tribes and creatures that once lived in harmony are fighting each other. On a beautiful chain of islands, life used to be peaceful until a comet fell from the sky. There is a lot of meat, here, too, so here's to hoping the developers are working on a fix to some of these shortcomings.Help Aruku, a chief of the Hawk tribe, restore peace and lead her tribe to a better future in this real-time strategy and adventure game! That's quite a lot, as iOS games go.īut because you can try before you buy, fans of these kinds of real-time strategy games should at least give it a spin. And while the peaceful music is nice, there is no spoken words at all in this game, which makes it feel, well, lifeless.įinally, the game costs $4.99 to unlock the full adventure. Why wouldn't they finish their initial job first? And no, you can't separate your workers to do more than one thing at the same.Īlso, while the graphics are decent in the HD version (the non-HD version looks somewhat blurry on an iPad), you can't pinch to zoom it to see what your tiny villagers are doing up close. Secondly, when you build one structure and cue up a second one, your villagers stop building the first one to begin constructing the second. Instead, I had to exit out of the game and re-launch it. For one, there was a bug early on in the game that prevented me from advancing to the next island – even though all goals were met. While fun, Totem Tribe Gold HD has some issues. Missions get tougher as you progress through the various islands, gain new skills and abilities, face off against tougher enemies and solve challenging puzzles. Played from an angled top-down ("isometric") perspective, the first tutorial stage is Tetala Island, where you're tasked with finding an ancient relic called the "Tear of Heaven." You'll create huts to house your villagers, tap on guide stones for tips and clear the "fog of war" by walking around the small island to remove the black veil. In some cases, you'll send your warriors out to neighboring areas to resolve conflicts.
As with classic games like Age of Empires and Rise of Nations, you'll also build barracks to develop fighters (including hunters, archers and shamans), upgrade weapons and defend your tribe from hostile tribes and creatures. You must explore nearly 25 islands, build structures, collect gems and research new skills. In Totem Tribe Gold HD, your goal is to help Aruku, a chief of the Hawk tribe, restore peace to her tribe after a comet crashed down and caused strife between tribes and creatures that once lived together peacefully. It suffers from a few flaws, and at $5 it's relatively pricey for an app, but Totem Tribe Gold HD can keep remain entertained for many, many hours while on your touchscreen tablet. Well, a new iPad game might strike a nostalgic chord as you also take control over a budding civilization on an island. Anyone remember the real-time strategy computer game craze from the '90s, including "God games" like Age of Empires?
