Man, The Title took me back... Epic War was never the best game. Hell, I never really "beat" any of them in the past. But there was at least some strategy to them. I lost some time to them, and it was not an utter waste. This heap of garbage only stole about 10~15 min of my time. I WANT MY TIME BACK. If I could give 0 stars I would. If I could sign a petition to get this **** off Kong I would.
so, we lost the great reductionist art style, horses, potions, and scrolls. On the other hand, almost all the annoying clickspamming is gone, and most of the more annoying systems are gone. The hunt system is basically a faster version of the quest system, the enchantment system is so much less of a pain, and being able to mass recruit is nice. Replacing the trillions of healing potions with the vampiric weapon trait is nice, as is making more then 1 rune relevant.
The factions feel nicely separated, though there is not great balance between them.
Overall, a much shorter streamlined iteration of feudalism with a terrible anime art style. Play each of the factions through and you will have covered everything the game has to offer. Really, you only need to hit lvl50 with each faction.
It feels like the game wants you to hit 50 then play the actual content... but by the time you get there, all the content is stupidly easy.
to get through 10 min of bounty run, avoid killing gooples. there is an on screen spawn limit, so as long as the screen is full of greens you won't get swarms of biters and die.
Funny fact: Piercing shot hits 4 targets, the last at 10% damage. relevant with poison cloud.
Also... wow... forgot how easy this is. I mean... only the last east city really needs an army. Then... yeah... elite assassins shred them. Lost 6 taking the city?
you only need a ranged weapon, as there is no penelty for just using that at all times.
Also, the weapons bonuses aren't relevant besides +10, just get 50 and make a few. The only rune to care about is the bloody rune, the occult rune, and the wolf rune. Wolverine is a place holder until you get the perfect weapon.
"Ok, so we need to be safe for the night... lets find the flattest stretch of ground we can and set up some barricades!" "wouldn't it be better to just go to a house and brake the staircase, so no zombies could reach us?""..."
Well, I could pull up to the light, but you know, I might rear end the guy aheahd of me... I guess I will just stop IN THE MIDDLE OF THE #@$%*^@ FREE WAY? THE HELL?
so wait... how is it physicaly possible to get a ten speed? I have drawn and hit an oponent with a head shot in less then a second... a 9 speed... what?
man, the AI swings from smart to stupid a lot. one round they are hitting semi randomly, another they are focusing their strikes and dropping your gladiators in one turn...
ok, razor queen? a good boss. you have to puzzle out the right move, then pull it off a few times. queen? WHAT THE HELL! you have to pull of a near dumb luck shot, whith no rematch or even chance at using a special maneuver.
