The game was pretty nice, a bit dissapointing compared to the previous versions though. Very annoying when you have 10 keys to take and have to know which to take and which not to in order to progress. But still it's a shift game, so I give it 4/5 :)
Finally finished the game, as a lvl 65 wizard. Wanted to test how much I could hold on at last level, and the number was .... 69 :) (what a coincidence, my favourite number).
For the ones who do not read the walkthrough : the key for an easy conquest is ....
dual gems + dual gem mastery
happy hunting !
stirfriedsushi, I would recommend checking the tips (you will find a link to them on the first page). It is true that at a certain point it is pretty hard, but if you read the tips and find a good strategy (I found a very good one :P) levels seem too easy that it's not even worth going back to make the 3x XP battle modes because I don't need the extra XP to beet the levels.
Good luck !
PS : I'll give you a tip : d.g.m. :)
Very nice game, one of the (if not the) best and most entertaining shooter games. What I like about it is that it has original weapons and some original monsters.
Still ... there are some frustrating things :
1. You cannot replay levels ?!? I got 0 cash at level 23, I want to replay it and get normal cash, but couldn't
2. You get cash only from what you collect from mobs. Though it is realistic, it would be best to get a fixed amount of cash + what you collect.
3. The cash counter ingame should be the money you get on that level, not overall.
And some suggestions for a v2 version (maybe sometime in the future :) ):
1. Weapon upgrades. Possible upgrades : DMG, Speed and Special (I noticed each weapon has a special feature, and it should be improved :P)
2. Ship upgrades (HP, Speed, Armour - not necessary though, x% more money collected...)
3. Difficulties, I would prefer selecting it for each level I play, for fewer/more points / cash.
5/5
PS : Sry for the extremely long post.
Very nice game, it's one of the most original ones I've seen lately.
The graphic is ok and the colors are according to the general feeling of the game.
Please ... PLEASE add a mute button :) It's not that the music is not nice, but I want to listen to music or watch a movie while I play.
5/5 Good luck !
Emerael, there is a "Strategy guide", all you have to do is look at the main menu :)
And it is very useful, I really recomment reading it.
@DragonBlood87 : I found the first levels from part 2 pretty hard, but after I got more accustomed to the game I found most of the levels very easy, resulting in each level to be angered by my gems :) (even / especially the giant monsters which I usually take from 2-3-4 to 15-20, even if 2-3 pass). You can get really awesome results, for certain maps by using anger I got from 2.5k points to 5.5k XP.
Good luck !
And awesome game, possibly the best on kongregate !
