We arent giving the Dev enough credit here. He COMPLETELY removed energy from the game, despite the fact that he'd get less money. This game deserves a 5/5 off the bat.
I got a good build. I call it "Tryndamere"(For all of you lol players out there.) You start with Vampire/Reaper. Likewise, this build is based mainly around lifesteal and crits. What you do is place 1 Strength 3 Willpower every level up. (Excluding emergencies.) What this does is allow you to spam Critical strike, doing hell ton of damage (thus the mana is needed.) While this build is mainly later into the game, you can get spells like bolt to grind and pull until you have enough mana to spam critical strikes like crazy. + So others can see.
This is the best strategy I could get for defeating the final boss: You CAN'T defeat him just with the pistol. Don't try it. It appears that the game nerfed his speed, or it's just a nerf for the minigun. At any rate, he's slower than you. What you have to do is move round the planks, make sure you aren't on the same plank as him. Your objective is to pick up all the boxes you can. The only weapons that really work against him are snipers and shotguns. P.S: Don't forget to use your bombs! They don't move him much, but they can stall him when you're jumping around.
hi Irish, hope you will find a good RTS that enjoy you very soon. Hope to see you playing Atomic from time to time
