decent balance to the game. with one exception. larvae, these suckers take forever. the larvae are the gate that prevents the game from progressing very quickly.
i have over 700 larvae hatching a second now and they still cannot keep up with the rest of the group. i am working on building nests to get greater queens. i burn through all of my larvae for couple thousand nests a second. but since it takes 1K nests per greater queen that means at best i get a GQ a second. next level is 10K GQ's. overal this is a very slow idle game.
ok i enjoyed the game for the most part. now i have to stop though.
having each of the creatures wait to use their abilitys until ther turn massivly hampers the usefullnes of a number of them.
an example are booster monsters like forrest spirit. she HAS to be played before a beastial creature or the ability is useless. this causes some very unwanted matchups.
overall the game is fun but not in pvp. the energy consumption rate is overwhelmingly used up (im almost through all lvl 3s on stage 1 at lvl 8). the battle system is awkward, also it is hard to build decks when you only have 1 camp lord, hard to fight correctly when your spells are randomized, incredibly frustrating that we dont get any idicator of how % chance is on abilitys, i have hit the same guy with tenacity and killed him 4 times in 1 round, and rush comps often will get ahead and stay there. hard to get cards as well.
rating 3/5
you know what would be interesting. a alternate ending. as soon as you hit the lava area if you go around the center and keep digging you end up in china or "fall off the world" by breaking the surface at the opposite end.
hower to win. roll fingers over 1-4 (like tapping a desk), concentrate on not losing power ad constantly spam bolts. gets your power over 100 fairly quickly and will insta kill anything at that point. will miss alot of the spell due to not paying attention but stil helps.
ok i freely admit i am probably a jackass for how i kicked this games arse, i put 1 point hp 1 point atk the rest into speed, was rouge, put all traits into speed..... had 110k+ speed. spammed more rage, used leach and stun only. ground to lvl 30 and maxed armor and such (mostly went exp ring till about lvl 7 jacked up the other 2). the demon orc i had to stun about half way into hp so it would not atack me even one time, stun leached both of my mirrors, and just speed through each enemy.
so much lag omg. tip for those who come later. max exp and money asap. and save money. buy the revolver then when u start to get swarmed to badly upgrade to the next best wepon you can buy.
i realy like the series. honestly who doesnt but i must say this one has fallen a bit flat compared to book of monsters. i cant put my finger on what is disturbing me about this. one of the biggest problems i can put my finger on is the level up system, sadly there are certain abilitys that are must haves like pin or sheild wall and i keep finding them late in the game around middle of act 2 or even 3. that makes life hell in early boss fights. also i am supprised that you went with the charecters being able to move from one campain to the other but after playing i understand why, and that is because they are so short :( .
just aced all 40 its very interesting and i love the river sounds here is hoping another version is in order :) didnt take me long but still fun had to go back a few times though.
