There's been a lot of popularity with Deck-Builder style card games, but honestly I think this is the only one I've ever enjoyed once I realized a couple things: 'Add a Copy' meant add it to your deck, not your hand, I realized that quickly after one use, but other players might have missed that, so maybe point it out in a tutorial? Not that there would have been time to make a tutorial in a Game Jam, but for future reference. Point Two: Realizing there were three special ability buttons on the left side. I dunno if I'm just a dunce, or if they're hard to notice. I had already achieved around a 30-40 combo smashing through enemies before I even noticed they were lighting up, and finding out I should have been using the massive pool of Ideas I kept capping out to build more cards into my deck would have probably got me all those '?'s in the deck list filled in. I can never tell if I'm just really clever, or stupid in a highly useful way.
...yep. Some time around chapter 7/8 I got locked out of the Dragon Den as well.
Having said that, the Metal Head Conrit I just finished tier3'ing and weapon/armor upgrading to A and A...is a bloody boss. It's skillful traited, and it SOLOED two more invasions, 37 and 38. So much for the crack team of tier 3's I had assembled before it, with a Drake, Naga, and Wyvern.
If any of you get a Conrit Serpent with Skillful, make sure you focus that sucker. It's totally broken.
tip: Don't try to find the longest connections right away. Start by instantly connecting one of the shortest most obvious links, and then work up from there. If it doesn't allow everything to connect, use the next simplest and straightest connection. Thinking around an easy foundation is much easier than trying to instantly tackle the most complicated links
Could we maybe get a different way to download the game? I keep getting fragmented un-executeable files smaller than the listed 151MB it says it should be when I start the download for the windows EXE file. The error says that its common cause is an incomplete file, so...ya I would like to have this directly on my computer where I don't have to risk something deleting my saves.
annnnd now the proud owner of this game on steam, as well as having purchased the premium content before this. Why? because supporting a creator I love, that's why. And piss on anyone who says otherwise.
I draw many parallels between this game and Company of Heroes 1 and 2. Playing MnB2 taught me what a Nebelwerfer was before I'd ever encountered my friend and rival using it, and when I heard it being fired from the fog of war in CoH, I KNEW that was hell coming to collect, and managed to save my squads. Now in company of heroes 2, I'm learning smart playstyles from each game that are useful in the other.
Get Afro Monkey: Game over. You just won, pending some meatwalls in front of him.
On a more serious note,
Best melee DPS: Bravion
Best melee Tank: Argale
Best DPS period: Afro Monkey(Rumbaro)
Best Utility: Blazzern(Penetration shots)
My winning team that beat everything was just a blazzern, rumbaro, and 2 argales or bravians. The afro monkeys so powerful I ditched the argales tankiness because I just didn't need it. The power of the Afro pushes them back and beats them down so hard and fast its ridiculous.
My God. Solidgear3's web is godlike. I caught the second bat at full health when it hit a corner. Since the web has four foundations, it's almost impossible to lose your entire web, even when the bees and fireflies start to swarm.
On a different note, if anyone ever sees a spider trying to build a web like that, KILL IT. I don't care how much empathy this game gives you for a spiders life, KILL IT THEN AND THERE, OR IT WILL BE THE END OF US!
Horror games could stand to come and take a few pages out of your book. That first steam break...I have never felt more in sync with my character in my life. 'God damn' is fuggin right little space man. So. Damn. Tense.
I LOVE the atmosphere the game has, leading up to and through the dark floor.
As soon as I saw this game, one of my thoughts as I ran all the fantasy battle games, his platformer, the bullet hell, and the cat slaughter thing, was that "He really should be able to get money for this. I wonder if he has a way for us to 'SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY' at him". Then, I bumped into the Premium Content inside the skills menu after nosing around town for free stuff. For the first time in my life, not only have I been happy to purchase a Premium Content unlock, but have I been thrilled to even find that a game has it. Why? Because I know nothing in it, even though I have just purchased it and not even used it yet, will be game breaking, or game deficient. That is to say, I know that nothing in the content will break the difficulty curve, nor will not having something in it make game unbeatable or a part of it insanely hard to beat. I am thrilled to purchase it, because I know I will not need it, and it is just a bonus.
Pro tips for solving all problems in this game: Start from the borders and work your way inward. 4 pointed stars, lines, and 3 pointed T's are your best friends, especially on/near the edges. The edges create 'absolutes' in that you can easily tell which way pieces on the edge should face, because it's absolute there which ways they CANNOT face. Anytime you get stuck, find your 4 pointed stars and check them and the edges, as you double check from these two points you should naturally find errors. Lines are handy because they have only 2 states, horizontal and vertical, which means you have an either-or to work with where ever they are, cutting down the number of possibilities for any piece near a line. T's especially, it's very common to have a T next to a line be a dead give away that you should face the T's blank to the line.
Note to the developer: Reduce the graphical effect of the doomsday infector on the boss. I'm pretty sure that the reason my game started chugging so hard I was desperately trying to stop myself throwing my tank out the arena, was because the ENTIRE arena was coated in DOZENS of explosions. I get that the last boss is integrated into the bubblefield, but really, just have the explosions on his core. We don't need Bubble Seizures because there's too many explosions and lag
...*tick* *tick* *tick* *Tock*
I don't get it. Why is everyone whining about the ending being too short? Did they not read what the NPCs were saying or something? He's MORE than done his job, this series is finished. He now has a large task of capturing fiends, which would be a different story than finding and rescuing miss Red Hood. AKA new series material. And before some thicky says "but what about escaping the spirit world?" Recall that you made three bullets, and the runeseeker only used one. Honestly people, it's a good end. More is not always better. Recall what happened when people wanted 'more', so to speak, of the silent protagonists Link and Samus. Both of those had humongous screwups of additions (voicing). Sometimes concise is best.
Would I have liked more, just as much as the rest of you? Hell yes. But I recognize that if he wants to end it here, it means he has much more awesome things he would rather be doing than filling out what's already a satisfactory ending.
This better not ever go multiplayer...I dunno about the reds or blacks, but blue is absolutely unstoppable once it has some edicts to get its unit upgrades. It's basic infantry are, in order of melee, range, magic: Strong against cavalry with chance to freeze, immune to melee debuff and has critical with regen hp, and finally, capable of soloing ogres and chests and easily cuts down enemy basic melee units. This all without the basic magic spell which basically stuns one to two enemy squads so yours can just slice them down. A multiplayer would require some huge balancing because if it incorporates the edicts of blue, the race is unstoppable. My wizards sliced down the green ultimate magic summon effortlessly because of the freeze.
I'm a bit irritated that if during the Lucky 7 challenge you put down spikes while you have six towers, it immediately locks out all ur towers permanently so that you can't ever put down ur 7th tower.

You are a hardcore(or lucky?) player if you can beat the game without using any abilities. And thanks for the suggestion!
