It's the analogue stick that causes problems, with its inability to deliver precise movement essential to surviving enemy confrontations and navigating obstacle-ridden environments. Characters move too far in a direction, the angle of movement is misinterpreted - there always seems to be a problem. The buttons aren't handled well, either. Team actions are triggered by taps and holds of the small action button at the right. When in control of Ales switching characters is done via panels at the centre of the screen , a tap of the small button picks up Ceska.
This comes in handy when you need to lift her to a higher platform or hurl Ceska across a gap - it's a clever mechanic. Herein lies the fiddly stuff: the same button instructs the two characters to split ways and regroup when apart. Regardless of how you feel about the controls, the battle system needs refinishing. Annoyingly, you have to bump into enemies to attack as Ales.
It's a lame mechanic and should be reconsidered. At least you can button-mash with Ceska, who fires magical attacks with taps of the large action button. Strong enemies make progress slow, not because they're overpowered and can't be defeated but due to the careful engagement required to avoid death.
To help fill the hole left by the departure of efficiency-focused VX hatch, Honda added an HX trim to the coupe lineup. Powered by a revised 1. Later, Honda would make a continuously variable automatic transmission available as an option on the HX. Interior map lights and an exterior handle were the main updates for the hatchback. The Civic Si also reappeared at this time but only as a coupe. Although it debuted three years earlier in Japan, the U.
A high-revving VTEC dual-overhead-cam 1. That's a lot for its size, but more impressively it could rev as high as rpm. It was a raw performer, one that's still a blast to drive today, even against its modern counterpart. It could scream to 60 mph in just 7. For reference, the Acura NSX achieved a blistering The sixth-generation Civic Si coupe would only last two model years, making it a growingly valuable Honda to still own today.
To answer your question, yes, you should've kept yours. By the time the redesigned seventh-generation Civic debuted for the model year, the world had changed dramatically. The Civic rode into the new millennium with fresh styling and a new suspension on a Shifting was handled via a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic; the CVT returned for the natural-gas GX and as an option on the efficiency-focused HX. In , Honda only offered its Si model as a hatchback. Assembled in Swindon, England, the hp 2.
Although it had more torque before, the new 2. The Civic Si also moved to a MacPherson-style strut assembly for the front suspension, instead of a double wishbone setup. Honda also put the shifter on the dash, instead of the floor. Despite its obvious lack of thrill, it still placed second in a three-car hot-hatchback showdown behind the Ford Focus SVT.
The chassis was revised in with five-lug wheels, brighter projector headlights, and an available Honda Factory Performance package added a special suspension, body parts, and wheels. In , Honda released the Civic hybrid to the U. The combo employed a number of efficiency tricks including engine stop-start, cylinder deactivation, and low-rolling-resistance tires, among others, to earn a rating of 46 mpg in the city and 51 mpg on the highway. Even more sound-deadening materials arrived for , as did new stereo speakers to take advantage of the ostensibly quieter cabin.
Hybrid drivers got more comfortable thanks to a height-adjustable seat. To finish out the run, in Honda created an SE model featuring aluminum wheels, a spoiler, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel; the Special Edition package was revamped for both the sedan and coupe, offering an upgraded stereo with MP3 capability and a six-disc CD changer. After years of unadventurous and logical updates, Honda veered off the beaten path with the introduction of the eighth-generation Civic.
Fresh and funky—for a Civic, anyway—the short hood and steeply raked and expansive windshield yielded to a more traditional profile and rear flanks. The Civic became heavier, likely in part due to the additional airbags required to improve safety ratings over its predecessor. A new Civic Si also debuted as a hp coupe with a six-speed manual. A Civic Si sedan would be introduced later, but both cars came standard with a limited-slip-differential and an impressive rpm redline.
The first-ever Civic Si sedan arrived for , while in leather upholstery appeared on the order sheet for the first time in the model's history. The natural-gas GX also returned for it first appeared in as a fleet vehicle , this time packing a 1. Heavier, slower, and featuring less usable trunk space, the GX burned clean but at a hefty price.
The Civic hybrid returned too, this time earning city and highway EPA ratings that both stood at 50 mpg. Appearing as a concept, the ninth-generation Civic made its public debut at the Detroit auto show. Honda Civic concept pictured. When we got our hands on a pair of Civics coupe and sedan in April of , we were a little underwhelmed. Unfortunately, the sharp driving dynamics that helped to set the Civic apart from the rest of the economy-car pack were dulled in the redesign process, with a softer suspension and less controlled body motions.
In addition, steering response was slowed in an effort to improve linearity, while road feel and feedback were reduced in the process. While competent, the Civic lost the plot. Aware of its transgressions and eager to restore the Civic to its place at the top of the compact-car heap, Honda made quick reparations for the model year. The suspension was massaged with thicker anti-roll bars up 0.
Although it still lacked feel, the new steering ratio returned the quick and agile personality of previous models. Those tweaks, combined with a refreshed interior featuring a reworked center stack and upgraded plastics, made the Civic far less of a bummer. Atoning for sins committed in and not fully reversed with its Civic update, Honda rolled out an all-new Civic for The tenth-generation model launched as a four-door sedan but was quickly joined by a striking two-door coupe and, later, a four-door hatchback.
A hp 2. The sole automatic option was a continuously variable transmission, albeit one of the best of its type in the industry.
Critically, every version of the new Civic drove with an enthusiasm and sharpness lacking from the previous model, and the turbocharged iterations were surprisingly quick, even when equipped with the CVT. One year after the 10th-generation Civic gwent on sale, the lineup expanded to include a sporty Si variant.
Chassis poise and grip were superb, and the sole transmission choice—a six-speed manual was a joy to use. We tested it, and it was an awesome car, but the hp turbocharged hatchback-only Civic that Honda now sells in the U. Unlike the normal Civic hatchback, this model is wider, with a a crazy wing bolted to the rear hatch and inch wheels so big it's almost embarrassing.
Its body has anime proportions, but on the inside is a surprisingly pleasant ride thanks mostly to its comfortable cloth bucket seats. While writing this guide, I was playing Version: 1.
You play as 2 characters: Ales A knight and Ceska A mage , switching control between the two characters to fight enemies, solve puzzles and save the kingdom. As of April , there are 4 versions of the game in the App store: - Across Age: The original game. I do not recommend buying this one and instead opt for the DX version which has many improvements.
The game itself is fun and interesting, however suffers from some issues. The controls can be a bit finicky due to using the touch screen for the D-pad. This can make things especially tough while navigating around pits, and traversing moving platforms.
The other issue is that there often is a lack of guidance within the game. True to old school games, there's usually a general goal in the "Memo", and a basic hint for the main puzzles.
However there are often points where the player is assumed to know how to make the same steps of logic as the developers. This often leads to situations like: "I don't know what to do next" "Why won't X happen? Sure you may be able to google "Across Age" and a specific item or location, and try and search through various forum threads and posts for a solution.
I decided to take it upon myself to record all the info I could while playing the game to help ease the pain of getting stuck while playing Across Age. I thank all those who played this game before me and posted answering questions, providing tips etc. I personally got stuck a handful of times. However without all you anonymous players, I'd probably still be stuck just like everyone else swearing up and down at my iPhone. I've done my utmost to ensure all content found here was created by me, and not copied from someone else.
I spent a number of hours recording information, double-checking stats and items, re-playing the game and writing up this FAQ. For the beginning of the game, he swings his sword, attacking one square in front of him. After learning his first skill, he will attack with a sword wave attacking a few tiles in front of him. Each sword wave has a slight lag, preventing you from attacking as quickly as Ceska.
If you press the attack button too quickly, or hold down the attack button, Ales will charge his equipped skill for use. Ales is able to learn 3 different skills by fighting through a different Skills Cave for each skill.
Each level of charge, Ales will charge a bit further than the previous. At level 1, 4 blade projectiles at the same time will shoot out to Ales' forward, back, left and right directions. At level 2, 8 blade projectiles will shoot in all directions from Ales.
At level 3, 12 blade projectiles will shoot in all directions from Ales. Each level of charge, Ales will spin a bit longer than the previous. Each skill will eventually level up if you have it equipped and use his basic attack. Personally the only skill I really found useful was Spin Dash, as it killed enemies fast if more than one monster got too close to me.
The other two skills usually ate up too much SP, without much benefit so I preferred using his sword wave general attack or just switching to Ceska. Ceska is a mage, who at the beginning of the game does not have any attacks. Her first spell and basic attack is Air Shot, which is a ranged projectile. I used this spell as her main attack due to the low cost of MP. If you also equip the Magical Earrings found in Ujammi Ruins , Air Shot will home in on enemies when the accessory is rebirthed it will somewhat track enemies in its original form.
This will easily make her your preferred character to use, as you can spam her attacks quickly and without needing to aim much. Ceska is able to learn 5 spells that you must obtain to proceed through the game see below for details. Airshot does not have a charged attack, so you can quickly spam the attack. Personally, I mostly used Ceska's Airshot at all times unless required to use one of her other spells for a puzzle or if required during a specific stage of a Boss' attack pattern.
You are required to take several different actions to progress through various parts of the game. This includes: - Pushing heavy blocks with Ales 1 step forward Entire Game. Before pushing heavy blocks with Ales, take a moment to look at the items in front of you. The game typically only allows you to push each heavy block forward one tile without pulling it back or to the side. If pushing the heavy block does not open the path, explore the rest of the area, and you'll probably find yourself circling around from the other side.
