fun but extremely easy. All you have to do is this:
Get knights as quickly as possible, level up the Cleave ability. Start each wave with all of your units pulled all the way back. Move the archers forward a bit to start hitting the enemy ASAP. Once the enemy is halfway to your base, rush your melee units to the back of the enemy to kill any ranged enemies. Use the Fighter Taunt ability immediately.
The idea is to keep your Orcs and Fighters alive, since you can keep summoning them and they stay until they die. You can amass an army of 3+ orcs and 8 fighters easily and just rush the enemy down every time.
if you want to cheat, hold down Enter and to summon a million orcs then kill them with potatoes or any AoE ability
Once you have enough points, about 25, take all of your points out of Barracks and stop using them. Instead, put everything into Reinforcements. They are durable at max level and are effective enough at slowing the enemy down that you dont need to waste space/money/points on barracks. You MUST build at least one Necromancer though, as they are necessary for generating enough troops to hold the enemy off while you attack them.
Max out Ranged and Reinforcements first. Put a few points in Mage and then max out Rain of Fire. It is incredibly effective at getting you out of tough situations and keeping you safe.
Consider spending the 10 kreds for Dierdra. Your heroes don't do a lot of damage, so buying offensive heroes is pointless. Dierdra is very effective at keeping troops alive and making towers stronger. Plus, her teleport ability allows her to cover the whole map easily
very fun game. Although I must say, the whole "you are a test subject, watch me go through trauma represented by the challenges you are facing" thing is getting a little old. still, good game. 4/5
I got every single upgrade by level 4, because I spent about 10 minutes grinding for the first boss. Then it just stopped being fun because there was no progression
it's really really annoying to keep restarting. I've gotten to floor 6-9 at least 10 times with new characters, and it's just obnoxious to have to start all over again
This is an awesome game. I love the grinding system and the Fame system. My only problem with it is that the Hunt tasks were repetitive and I lost interest in them after 15 or so. Once I got the hard badge I pretty much lost any interest in playing. But, it was really fun up until that point. So if you want to increase replayability, make Hunts more interesting! :D
am I doing it wrong? Because every single level has been cleared by terraforming massive flat areas and generating a huge army of knights. I don't use any skills other than terraform.
really fun. For a sequel, I would love to see a "barracks" sort of upgrade. One that lets you upgrade your Allied Unit Spawner, and select which units you want it to spawn. Also, seperate weapon classes to choose from would be nice
I wish you could switch weapons better. I want to be able to range someone until they get close to me, then quickly switch to a sword and melee them to death.
