Sometimes it takes a while for other platforms to show the game. We just need patience. 🙂

If you’re on Android, get it through the amazon app store. It worked for me.

I had 58 power of mind and 44 power of friendship then I formulated a plan against Akira and when it came to the Heir I used the option “outthink him” then I kept him talking and he walked out the ring on his own. I think if you have at least 58 friendship, you don’t have to plan and you can just choose the option to talk to them. Then they’ll just forfeit and walk out the ring on their own. I had high willpower, about 66 but I’m pretty sure 58 and above is fine, but when resisting the heir you also have to choose another option (outthink him or talk to him) so you need to increase either your friendship stat or your mind stat as well. My power of mind was at 38 for the playthrough where my will was the highest, so you’ll most likely have to bring either secondary stat to at least 40, but I would aim slightly higher (maybe 44?) just to be on the safe side.

I got it! So the dialogue you choose really matters…Thanks! The secondary stat seems to be at 40 btw.

You’re welcome. I wasn’t sure exactly how high the secondary stat had to be, but I figured it had to be higher than 38 since you fail if it’s that low but pass with at least 44 (that’s what I had when I won) but I’m happy to know it helped. 😃

Does anyone know why isn’t out in play store yet? Usually it’s alway the first place to release the games.

You have to download an Amazon app for that if I remember correctly. I suppose I have to wait for Google Play to have this available.

Amazon store is out of the question for me. I guess I’ll just wait for Google play release.
