I've played both Cat God games and enjoyed both, but there are some things in this one that bothers me. I guess the game is just too random to allow the development of a proper strategy. You cant really choose when to fire the fireballs, and the Scarab Power being completely random kinda makes highscores harder to get. Also, the Gold Scarabs are hard to get mainly because you are too strong and end up killing the Sun King waay before reaching the goal.
Anyway, I've enjoyed playing as the Sun Emperor. That was a nice touch
To Ace_Blue: Board games have inspired many pc games as well as pc game have inspired many board games. They work together, helping each other improve as much as possible.
Since the map division is not the same, the card system isn't the same, and the fog system is not possible on the board game, this one cannot be considered a ripoff. Yes, the mechanics are similar, but saying that this game is a ripoff is the same as considering warcraft, starcraft, age of empires, age of mythology, dune, and many other games just ripoffs from the great original strategy game (which I don't know the name ^^' )
