Well, kudos to the quest of the day for making me try out a game I'd never have looked at otherwise. But for all the reasons mentioned in top comments, and a few more besides, I don't ever plan to kill more than my 5 monsters.
Well, I figure I'd spend more than £5 on music, or on a DVD. I'd spend almost that much on a kebab at the end of the night, and a damn sight more on drinks beforehand. Hell I'd spend nearly that much on a train ticket or a coffee.
So given that the lead is cute, and her friends are psychotic, I decided less than £5 was a fair price for something this polished. Tower defence with story, where my towers have personalities and level up. SOLD!
Nice Game. Just made the hard badge. Usually hate games like this, but being able to start at 900 over and over made it seem worthwhile "Just gotta survive about 15 seconds, easy!"
Make sure you push up your mouse sensitivity, I needed about 6 to have any chance at the sharp corners.
Just by way of an update I've restarted entirely and still no effect from barracks, and I'm pretty sure that kind of increased resource will be necessary to complete the game.
I'll pop back sometime and see if its better.
Maybe I'm missing something. But I build a stronghold, +100 res to start, so far so good. Then I build a couple barracks. For the next scenario I played I was getting 7res/tick, but at some point it has gone back to five.
Now no amount of demolishing and rebuilding will cause the res/tick to go back above five. I've even knocked down the lot and tried again.
Guess its strongholds only for me.
Only up to battle five, but with some heavy replaying on the earlier levels you can easily get the arrows up to the point where they will hold off waves indefinitely, as per MiguelLima's experience guide. And after a certain point, the computer seems to give up, only producing goblins OR orcs. Then the hobbits do the job.
Nice enough, bit easier than the others if you know what you're doing and are aware of the limited lives. But the shiny light effect is so pretty, bring it back!
The 'stay still' strategy in top rated works well for the badge of the day as well. Just invest in a few points multipliers (of course) and a bit of firepower to stop you going insane from boredom.
This is obviously just a well thought through plan by Kong. They're kindly showing us how to use the 'report missing achi' button. I've always avoided broken badges like the plague, but turns out its really easy to report. You will need: 1, print screen button and 2, paint or other picture viewing program.
An easy and characterful addition might be to limit some of the basic boosts the characters can get. ie knight having access to best health, but not great speed. Mage and priest little access to health, archer some health, some speed etc. (King... who knows). At the moment mage and archer will do the lot, with a little healing.
Nice game... Except that the save function seems to have some bugs. In a game of this length thats nearly as awkward as if the fire key broke. At least that way I wouldn't waste hours before finding out. My storage is unlimited, of course.
