Still a very good game, but the difficulty seems to have been turned up a bit much. I was able to get all the way through the first Monsters' Den (standard) without ever having a party wipe, can't beat the first boss in this one without being wiped out. Item store is also a bit lame, why can we only visit it once per level?
Having finally gotten both badges I'd say the game is pretty good. The main flaws are that the repair bases are next to useless, especially on harder difficulties (if you're getting hit enough to need them, you have bigger problems) and that the game is simply too long. 4/5
Rather dull. Fights are a bit too rough at first, and the whole 'you lose a level if you mess up' is a bad idea with worse implementation (any sort of permanent penalty you give a player for a mistake is just plain stupid, it will only make it harder to fight after you make a mistake). I'm gonna be very generous and give it a 3/5
Pretty good game. Awful music, and the difficulty ramps up way to fast (easy golds on the first two songs, followed by no medals on the third...). Everything else works well, but those two really detract from it, almost makes me with it had the Pro and Amateur sections so there could be an easier difficulty ramp.
The strategy I used to defeat the champions was just throw a ton of Hydras against them (to tank) and then bombard them with manticores and centaurs. One of the champions ended up getting stuck in my defenses (destroyed my tanks with perfect timing so there was always one to hold him in place) so I used my avatar to tank the other and slow him down (dropping in and out of combat to heal and hold). Even with that, and spending every penny I got, he got within 10 spaces of my home...
Man...how are you supposed to defeat the two heroes? I had a defense that was stopping the waves at their spawns, and the heroes just walked right through it and all the other defenses I had in place. Got one down to a sliver of health left, but they still beat me. Any strategies? They got through about 6 hydras in less than 15 seconds, which means my ranged units couldn't hit them for long.
An interesting combination of a few other tower defense mechanics (the wandering units, terrain alteration, and avatar). It's fairly well polished, and quite enjoyable. 5/5
Takes a looong time to get the badges (left it running and wandered off, came back and only had one. Took at least 10 minutes for both to register, but they did register...
Gotta love how often perfect shots miss. Put 3 rounds in the head of one guy without them reacting at all, and failed the mission because of it. Too buggy to be fun (sniper games are unforgiving because they should be relatively simple, no real AIs and only 1 gun in play, should be easy to get good collision info).
Decent game. The couple hundred millisecond delay between both ends reaching a wall and the game noticing it is really annoying. Can't count the number of times I've had both ends of the line touching a wall, and lost a life because it was just barely brushed by a passing enemy.
Base rating - 4/5
Color system - +1
Really annoying Death System - 1
Hardest part is the levels between about 13 and 18. Before that spray and pray will suffice, and after that...spray and pray with suffice (I was gaining ammo while firing wildly on level 19 :P). Besides that difficulty curve being a little off awesome game.
Found a nice bug in the sandbox. If you try to build up two full layers of buildings it'll delete on of the buildings on the end. For example, I had two rows, one of tesla coils and windmills, and one of turrets, on the top and bottom of my map. Whenever I added a windmill to the far right side it deleted the gun turret on the far left and visa versa. In addition there seems to be random deletions of buildings once you get a certain number.
Free Roaming car makes the game significantly harder, which is kinda lame. Interface should make a hard game easier, not an easy game harder. Still a lot of fun though.
Great gameplay (I really enjoyed the puzzles) but I'm having an odd problem with this one that I didn't with the others, as soon as I finish the gameplay section it starts lagging significantly, leading to the game rushing through the last half in about 3 seconds, meaning I can't read it...and then it crashes my browser.
