i think what might even improve on the idea of having chain shields on the apoc cannon would be to have multiple shields and a upgraded time stopper. freeze everything and buys time to reload :P
decent platform, although i never liked platform games. i got stuck in a place my character couldnt get out of in south wing 1 and gave up. 3/5 from me.
the boulder was easy, once i found out that i could instantly survive it simply by not having my mouse in the window during that sequence so the rock couldnt hit it. heh
archers dont scale up very well in this game... they start out good then by end game they basically do the same damage -but- everything not only has more hit points but also closes in to melee range with them faster. even your own archers run headlong across the field to their own deaths faster if you upgrade your units speed. sort of silly and kills you if you wanted to focus on ranged combat. also makes the undead halberdier rush stupidly good because ranged is supposed to be the counter to it.
