Solomon's Boneyard Hack 3.92 + Redeem Codes

I cannot understate how awesome this game is when it is literally the best twin stick shooter there is. Easily perfect for dozens of hours and more, this is a horde only version of the original game. Also like the first game, it gives you that feel of an apprentice wizard doing exactly what wizards are incredibly good at: destroying everything in their path.

I will say however, that just like the original, there is definitely plenty of gameplay and balance adjustments that could be made to improve the game overall, and although they don’t ruin the fun, it does limit it somewhat. This includes but isn’t limited to how Fate Potions are expensive as heck, requiring multiple good runs to purchase, and yet only last a single run on top of also taking up a slot themselves, instead giving you the full two slots for perks. I could honestly give a list of ideas, but it would be much too long to list here.

This is one of my most recommended games ever to tell a friend matter a fact this is the only game I’ll recommend to a friend. This game is the best and I just love how they updated the game to work on iOS 11 at first I thought this game was gunna be los forever since they haven’t updated the game since 3 years ago. The thing that I’ll love if the developers implemented in the game was multiplayer(either local or online) if they added that to the game it will be 7/5 rating because it’s already 5/5 and there is no other game like it. If they added multiplayer the waves should be a little bit tougher because you’re playing with one or possible more players. I recommend this game to my cousin before iOS 11 came out and he has been grinding on the game since iOS 11 came out. (I think he deleted the game when iOS 11 came out) when I saw the news about the update they realized I contacted my cousin and told him about the wonderful news. (Side note: hopefully the new ad system the put in will hopefully for fill my dreams)

Just doesn't get any better than this. Deep enough to keep you coming back with new strategies, easy enough at first blush that you can pick it up whenever you like. The game is balanced, fun and insanely difficult at higher levels. This is a spiritual successor to the twin stick shooters of the 80s and 90s like robotron 2084 and smash TV. In app purchases are completely optional and are not of the "pay to win" variety. Honestly, you'll enjoy the game more if you work for your unlocks. You know the developers are on to something when there's literally an option that reads "I want to donate cash but please don't give me any in-game currency". Perfect portable time killer .

This game used to be fun, I've played it for years. However resetting progress, making it 200x more grindy, and placing ads over each piece of content made me hate this game. It's just dumb now. I was actually tempted to spend money on the earlier versions to support the developers, though I'm sure they made enough money from me for just looking at their ads each game. This game is a "no longer playable" for me. I don't even get a reward for being an old player. Guess they love their old community huh.

Edit: response from the developer. Yes there's much less ads (I saw none like in the original), but I can watch videos for gold and it seems I earn a bit less gold in game. The game truly just doesn't feel like it used to. I'm also very unhappy because I was grinding the hell out of that game, and lost all progress. So I'll raise it from 1 stars to 3 stars, but my motivation to re-grind it all while earning less gold is at 0. I probably earned more gold from rings, it could be the same as the past versions, but I can't figure that out by myself so.

READ BEFORE UPDATING! This is more like a reboot rather than an update of the game. First off, you have to start the game from square one. The only way to get back the perks is to watch A LOT of ads to get enough money to buy them back. Second, the magical backpack is gone and now you have to buy the Scavenger and buy the rings back every time. BTW, the price increases the more rings you have. Also, you can buy more perk slots, but you have to buy them EVERY game. It's too bad they didn't add more graveyards with the comet, magic trap and shield perks. This game is probably acceptable for newbies and the pro gamer. For the average joe, this just adds more frustration for those that can't get past certain levels. I was hoping this was an update to build on what I already had in the game. Starting all over has been quite disappointing and time consuming.

Side bar: don't quit your game if you have rings in your backpack. You lose them completely. It does give you a warning about it. The backpack isn't like the old version where they always remain in your inventory. You need to die for the scavenger to put them back in the line up.

I played solomans keep when first released. I was lucky enough to have a back and forth email exchange with John @ rapitsoft just as the boneyard was coming outta beta and soon to be released to everyone. I will admit in 2010 that solstice arena took me away from both these games. Shortly after SA went under in 2014 Vainglory (MOBA) was released.....and up until last month was my go to game. VG has lost their server & with its limited functionality I found myself w/fingers crossed hitting up the ol Solomon’s keep. Totally enjoyable.
Then I ventured into the boneyard for the first time in years. I am thrilled to see the new fates & skills options. However I will also begrudgingly say that I cannot get past level 19. It doesn’t matter what character, skills, rings, I have bc those darn poisonous archers kill me every time. Alas I think in a time of such change, uncertainty, and social distancing I am GRATEFUL TO John & his crew at Rapitsoft for keeping both his creations going for over 9+ years.

Game used to be awesome, an all time fave that I would easily come back to again and again, 7-8 years ago the game was fun, it had a lot going for it, great game.
A few years ago i play it again, awesome, they added new maps a few different things in the game, still greatly enjoyable even with ads.
Now, every level up is an ad, “watch ads for pitiful amounts of gold”, added an npc which was pretty much unnecessary, and now if you want to have more than 2 perks, unlike old Boneyard you just unlocked them at increasingly pricey intervals, it is now a shop where you have to reassign your perks EVERY ROUND, but you also have to rebuy some stupid tonic EVERY ROUND just to have more than 2 perks which, unless you consistently hit lvl 20 or above, will only ruin your early game experiences. What can I say, stereotypical really, throw in more ads or more reasons for people to potentially throw money at a game just to try and hurry the tediously unneeded aspects.

2nd response to developer, i just checked and.. The one time purchase of the magical backpack that was in the pre ios11 version is, WHERE????? And have you fixed the perk tonics since version 3.80 was released???? Oh that’s right, you’re still on version 3.80. So no, it hasn’t been fixed. It still costs 1000 gold per use.

Response to developers response to this review: I don’t think you understand. I am not happy, I have deleted the game.

What I want is the pre ios11 version of the game upgraded to work with ios11 and I am willing to pay for it. Or make all perks buy once, including scavenger and perk tonics.

——————
Edit: scavenging and perk tonic are still broken.. They still cost gold every time they are used. I spent some real money for gold as I was under the impression that ALL of the upgrades where permanent, just like before the ios11 versions. The only upgrade that should cost gold every time to use, not purchase, is bribe destiny. I will be requesting a refund because I will not spend real money for temporary bonuses. I will happily spend the money again once fixed.

————-
Most of my complaints with the game have been fixed. Upgrades are permanent and do not need to be purchased repeatedly, yes if going from certain old versions of the game, the upgrades will need to be reacquired. I find that an acceptable loss in order to be able to play the game on ios11.

Seriously FREAKIN' FANTASTIC game. I recommend this left and right. Great controls, amazing replay-ability, awesome mechanics, and graphics that are good enough to look great on any device, yet low-key enough to be played on my crappy, outdated iPod Touch. Now that I have the latest iPhone, I still play it! It's similar enough to make it a nice sequel to 'Solomon's Keep', yet different enough that I can take a break from one of them by playing the other!
I cannot stress how thoroughly wonderful this game is. Since I'm nearing the end of this review, I'm trying to think of flaws and ways it could be made better, but... The only thing I can think of is to add more content! Not that it's lacking, but more content is always awesome.

Just a week ago I thought to myself,"You know what this five year old game needs, more ads! While they are at it, they should delete all the progress of every player, so they have to go through grinding out all the perks all over again!". This is truly the update this game needed to cement itself as a complete waste of time. In a single life you will probably get about 20 ads, but don't worry you can turn off the ads for a measly 4 bucks. Never mind the 5 previous years of this game having NO ads. You are privileged to get to play this ancient game, and the least you could do is generate a little ad revenue for the developers, who pushed out this update with very little new content, just to beat every last cent out of this dead horse. I don't know if they intended to reset our progress, but it's really just the icing on the cake. This game is a waste of your time, it was great once, now it's just ad revenue, the game.
