Slashing Dragon has — after some delay — released version 1.73 of Ananias, his roguelike for web, PC, and Android devices. Albeit I suppose I can’t describe it as being solely for Android anymore, as this news update does contain a mention of the iOS version of the game. It hasn’t been released yet on Apple’s App Store, but it is evidently now in testing on Testflight. (Similarly, the Steam release is evidently getting closer.)

Major changes in this version of the game include:

New Feature – Tactics

• Allow changing tactics: Offensive, Balanced and Defensive, with effects on hit and evade chance, damage and defense.
• Add tactic bonuses by class.
• Better commands for pets (Attack, Stay, Retreat). They obey orders based on their tame factor and the tame skills of player

Gameplay

• Magic expertise (being able to cast spells safely) is now determined based on magic power.

There have also been a number of UI changes, of course; click on through to read the entire changelog.
