Wow! How do you narrow it down to a single solution?  

The size of the game should have some impact on the cost:  If you had waited to release a finished version of HoS it still wouldn't be available for purchase.  I think the "Free try before you buy" is not a good strategy.  Even Bigfish games only lets you do that for 1 hour and they sell a ton of games.  First impressions have a big impact on reviews.  A limited free version leads to inaccurate game reviews. You will see allot of reviews on Bigfish written after a one hour trial that are negative, then later great reviews from people who purchased and played the full version.  The temptation to produce smaller finished games might cramp your style when you start creating Legends of Steel.

IAPs:  I've never felt ripped off.  Your IAPs have added great value for a small price.  In HoS the 4 new characters are worth every penny.  Boost-in is a stroke of genius!  Especially as HoS comes to a close, I would get migraines, and nose bleeds having to start from scratch then work my way up to level 64.

ST-2 One Price gets all content in perpetuity:  In my opinion this is a terrible mistake. ST-2 is going to be with you for years after release.  The universe is expanding not contracting.  Releasing it on Steam first is wonderful.  I think, You must develop DLC content on Steam.  DLC is the standard for releasing new optional content, and accepted by the Steam community.  For tablet/mobile versions one idea that might work:  After a large amount of optional content has amassed offer a "Collector's Addition" of the game that includes not only new game features but artwork, music, professionally formatted game manual, or even throw in a copy of the ST comic book.  The Collector's Addition should be more expensive than the regular version.  If sales go through the roof you may decide someday to add Multi-player are you still willing to charge the same price?  I sure wouldn't.

Track Record:  Awesome games!  I'ts almost like you feel guilty charging more for creating large expansions to existing games, what are you crazy?  Like En1gma I have played 2 Trese Bros games heavily but own all of them and all IAP content.  Someday I'm going to get around to playing them all.  I have never done that with any other developer's games.  Where the heck else am I going to get this quality at these prices?  Do you realize that some Atari-800 game cartridges produced in the 70's cost more than what you charge for a 21st century game?  Geez what am I going to do with you two! 


My Vote: #2 Elite +IAP with game unlocks as an optional IAP (#4).  P.S.  These guys put the games on sale all the time, so that should offset some cost concerns.

v4.2.1 (2/9/16) Increased range of curses (ethereal etc) at rank level(8) from 6 to 7.  That's probably where I got confused.  I did double check all the other talents before posting and those ranges are the current values contained in the talent descriptions inside the game.

When Vincent is standing next to Kyera.  After he fires Flash Freeze(10) it would be great if she could hit the same target with Banishment(10) as it stands she is out of range.  Gotta say, I really envy Kjartan's Firestorm range progression as the talent levels.  The two talents are very close in damage, SP cost and AoE shape. 

Thanks for taking a look at it.  

  This whole time I missed it.  I could have been using a 2-H Spear with Phalanx(10).  It was staring me right in the face the whole time Hahaha
