God I hate the first level with the aliens immune to everything buy grenade launchers and explosive barrels. Not having quite enough credits to buy the grenade launcher and without anyway to go back to earlier levels or saved games to make sure I keep enough creds to cover the cost, I am left running around trying to get the big aliens near a barrel. I just wasted 20 minutes doing just that but then accidentally set off a barrel one space too far to kill the final big immune guys and quit since there are no extra barrels. Horrible level design. Please adds at least one or two extra barrels or give us some way to earn extra creds (maybe side missions?). Proper saves would fix the problem as would an undo button. Oh well. Problems like these keep the game from being great and increase the frustration factor for no obvious reason.
sucks getting to the round where you need grenade launcher and being 50 creds short. So I get to run around trying to get the immune aliens close to the explosive barrels...not fun. Time to try a different game and lowers this from 4/5 to 3/5 for me. The experience thing is a bit annoying. I had one guy fall behind and had to work for the next three levels to get him kills while the more advanced guys waited. Some kind of bonus for just finishing the level would help.
not a bad idea but implementation ends up being more annoying than fun. Having to constantly walk back and forth all the time instead of incentive to keep moving forward in the level sucks, movement not counting if not quick enough, pushing blocks not counting as movement, etc. All serve to bore me. 2/5 now but could be 4/5 with some updates .
Hmm... Darn, the walkthrough must be an old one. I had to take out the dirty underpants as requested by the publisher... I'll replace it right away. Sorry about that and thanks for pointing out. Hope not many people copied that text...
Third level AI behavior is odd. I've tried 3 a few times with different strategies but crushed by AI that can drop five times as many troops. Expanding quick=Fail, Slow build=Fail, Expand fast w/strong borders=Fail, Wipe out one enemy at a time while holding others off=Fail. Review history and find that AI don't seem to attack each other with aggression that I get attacked with until I'm dead. Sure they'll exchange and even get in large battles early but in mid-game all the huge deployments are aimed at me even with much easier targets. In last game I watched history of 2 AI sitting next to each other turn after turn with lightly guarded borders (no more than 4) & huge areas with 1 behind borders but AI both ignore that to focus on me. This might make sense if I massed troops against them but I focused on a third AI but did have double the troops on shared borders as they had with each other.
I also accidently double clicked on the store when first trying the game. In the brief flash I saw that I somehow selected my race (I think) but then it went to the store screen and I've never seen that select screen again. What was that and am I now stuck with some setting I didn't really want?
The select screen is only shown the very first time you play the game. It gives you a set of extra cards of a color based on the race you selected in that screen. All cards remain unlockable, regardless of the race you chose. If you want to start over completely, send me a message and i'll reset your savegame.
physics are screwed up. Same starting point leads to random trajectories with no changes made by player. In a game like this, physics is all there is so 1/5
more pay to play disguised as free. 0/5 only because I can't give negative numbers. Kong is getting full of these pay to play games and the worst are the MMOs. I wish they'd all disappear from Kong so the site can live up to its title "Kongregate: Play free games online" Might as well change that otherwise or just keep lying to users.
the awards are buggy. none of the griffen stuff works. there are bugs in the campaign as mentioned below where meeting the victory conditions doesn't always produce victory.
Just tried it again and I can confirm that there is still a problem with achievements. I just won a league as chaosmaster and got the "you finished top of league" but the achievement is still gray.
