I finally figured out the trick to the game. If you run into a level you can't handle, just set your troops on Assault and go watch TV or do something else, let them get their butts handed to them, eventually the round will end and even if you lose you get some money. Do that a few times until you have the money to buy better troops/spells/heroes/upgrades.
@kyseisa What do you mean? The heroes do recover... if you pull them out of battle and park them far away from the battle, they will regain their HP. Slowly, but they will.
There are spell hot keys... 1-6, says so in the instructions. Why did 361 people give late13 a +? 361 people didn't read the directions? Anyway... I hate to say it, but it's time for a new engine. This one really sucks with click recognition. I'm getting tired of clicking 3 or 4 times before something happens. This was a problem in prior EW's. It's a very kludgy interface. Otherwise I do like it, as I liked the first 3. I actually think I liked 3 better though... gonna keep playing and see where it goes.
Pretty good over all. Lots of "little" things wrong (can't move units after placing them, can't tell how much mana you have, spells sometimes don't fire when you want them two, requiring several attempts). I like the concept. Maybe 2 will be great. 3/5
It's a pretty good game as things go. Runs smoothly, plays well, weapon system is easy enough to understand, not overly complicated. I do have one major problem: most games autosave at some point, in this game I would assume auto-saves between levels... so if you do something like accidentally hit Backspace and get sent to the last page you were on (the Kong homepage), you don't lose all of the work you do. And when you save the game, why does the save get deleted when you log back in? I'm back to the beginning, all data lost. The game isn't so interesting as to be worth playing again. I might later for the badges. 2/5
I like these kinds of games and this one is well done. Pretty simple, decent amount of fun. Not ground breaking, but acceptable fun. I certainly played to the end. 4/5
Not sure what the problem is. I'm running Win7 64-bit w/FireFox 3.6.6. Only thing I can see is that I have a slightly older version of Adobe. I'm running 10.0.32.18 whereas the latest version of Flash is 10.1.53.64. So if you want to play it, just downgrade your Adobe. :)
Not bad. The hard badge is ridiculous. I can run a track absolutely perfectly without a single mistake and still be 4-6 seconds too slow. I ran Milton Keynes numerous times and no one else I went against did better than 100 seconds. I recognize hard is there for a challenge, but seriously, if you run the track absolutely perfectly and don't even come close, maybe the target should be lowered just a smidge. Somewhere into the "possible" zone.
Every time I play it I take off another star. Annoying as hell. I was on the (presumably last) level, call Apocalypse, and died trying to get up that steep hill. I never did get any more DNA after the first 2 levels, are you supposed to? At any rate, it's a real finger killer. Keep getting stuck on things too, very very annoying. I'm down to a rating of 2/5. I think I'll stop playing before I have to drop it to 1/5, heh. Too bad, guess I won't get the Pixel badge.
I do agree with detroitx, once you make a match of some sort, it shouldn't work again, it's rather annoying. Or maybe if you do make a match you made before, and it shows you what it made, it should go back to the two categories you picked from. The reason for this is when you use the light bulb and it gives you two categories and you pick two items, if you pick something you already used, it'll go back to the main list, and I admit, a couple of times I've forgotten what two categories the light bulb showed me, so I basically lose it for nothing. See what I mean?
Fun games, makes you think. Some of the combinations are rather tricky, I'm glad for the lightbulb helper, but most of them make logical sense. I'm up to 89/115 so far and enjoying it. 5/5
Hmmm... the storyline could be a little better defined. You know, some clues to tell you what the next step or next place to go would be. Not just "Hmm, I need to find a thing." and then you have to search the whole game looking for "a thing". No fun there either.
I guess it's just not my kind of game. 9 tries, 1 success. I almost won once but then I got slammed and my guys just couldn't keep up. Most games start off very easy, let you work into it. This seems to have a very steep curve. Ah, well, I shouldn't mark it down just because I can't play it well... it is kind of frustrating though, as I can see how fun it could be.
So much potential... I'm sure it gets fun eventually. Starts off pretty "meh" though, just don't have the attention span to play through the levels to find decent heros. Would be nice if you had some choices to begin with instead of being railroaded through everything. 3/5
