I was on Mission 4. Aliens got through a while after I started, and I was reduced to 3 lives. But by then I had upgraded several turrets. Had literally the longest possible maze of turrets for those little ****ard aliens to go through. But some managed to get out. I had no choice. I desperately placed turrets. Vulcan Snipers managed to get two of them, and the panic-turrets paid off. But two managed to get through. I madly upgraded some very well placed Sonic turrets and a Freeze turret. I got to the last wave. It was two boss aliens, but moving pretty damn fast. But I was so confident of the win that I didn't pay attention while the aliens got through more than half of the maze and one of them had half health while the other had three-fourths. I saw it too late. I put all the rest of the money I had - I had so much to spare - into upgrading the turrets at the end of the maze. But they could kill only one of them. The other one got through. Took my 20th life. Mission Failed.
On reading a few of the previous comments I noticed that many were complaining that it's hard to perform a finish kill. It works fine for me. What you must be doing is that you're pressing an arrow key while jumping. Don't. Just press the jump key when you think you are close enough to a fallen enemy. Do NOT press any other key. And there you have a successfully performed finish kill. Hope this helps.
Better than the original Achilles. I expected more, though. Like, a different set of controls altogether, and highly different from the Warlords: Heroes or Achilles games. Still, good game, deserves 4 stars, I give 3 because I really wanted a much different gaming expereince.
Ellder: Hey, you with the sword and shield! Come here! Swordsman: Who, me? Ellder: Yeah, you. Take these 50 gold pieces and follow me around and fight with me until you die. Swordsman: O_O Right
There's a sequel coming in the end of December or beginning of the coming January, and it is multiplayer ONLY. The multiplayer for this game is not coming back, as the creator of the game has stopped supporting it. The sequel will be much more action-packed. For more information on the sequel, go to www.starfighterinfinity.com or to DJStatika's (creator of this game) page on Kongregate: http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/DJStatika.
I just found an epic glitch. Just go to gladiator mode, then right click anywhere on the game screen and click "Forward". Find out for yourself what happens next. NOTE: I did this when I had completed the game and the cheat "Bandits" was on, so I don't know what will happen if the circumstances are different.
Hey guys, it's easy to beat the mounted units. Just block their attacks as they come and when they go past you hit them with forward moving attacks from behind until you get out of reach, then go towards the goal as if he is not going to come back. You'll see him come back for you, then follow the same tactic again. Don't follow them all the way back to the beginning, it's NOT a good idea. Hope this helps a few people. C:
