I bulled my way to the Kongpanion, but this remains one of the worst games on Kongregate because there's a profound limit to how much "better" you can get at it. With most games there's a learning curve, but learning complex multi-processing is not something that can be achieved by most people, much less in a short period of time. Because of this, most people won't feel a sense of accomplishment. Instead, they will feel relief mixed with irritation.
I honestly don't understand why this game got such a high rating. The mechanic is interesting enough, but the skill/learning curve is way off. The training levels are at half the speed of the real thing and it's completely unforgiving for no other reason than the presumed cool factor of being hardcore.
The calculation of FP for hosts and escorts in arena is one of the worst designs I have ever seen in decades of gaming. I'm very glad I didn't decide to spend money on this game, because this sort of thing is completely unacceptable. Here's a 1/5 rating for you.
Well, thanks for giving us a try. We are going to be updating that formula soon. There is a thread on the forums where input is being shared. I ask you share your thoughts there as the feedback is helpful to us. (URL :http://www.kongregate.com/forums/2876-redshift/topics/451830-potential-fp-formula-adjustment?page=1#posts-8695999)
Arena matchmaking is terrible. "Hey, I have a couple of reds and a max level of 50. It sure rocks to be matched *consecutively* against someone with all reds at 100."
Why was an unplayable game with broken badges picked as Badge of the Day? If anything, this turd shows how far Kong has come in the last four years. I can't imaging it getting badges or a 3.7 rating if it were released today.
