For those wondering about the damage control rating:
It seems to be based on the TOTAL amount of blocks destroyed (ENEMY BLOCKS COUNT AS WELL).
So you need to avoid damage to yourself and your enemies ;)
+ to keep alive ;)
I finished the game. For some reason, after the first adventure after loading that game, I only get coal as a reward....is that intended? because that way, I'll never get all my stats to maximum...
When you got a good run (lots of artifacts, etc.), and die, you will loose all artifacts but start from the last shop floor. if you did 20+ in a rush you stand no chance any more..
Not really hard at all when you know such games.
Some tips:
1.Concentrate on melee, the best weapon is a sort anyway.
2.There are 2 Secret levels: One in the Land of Suffering and one in the Alliance Flat (small white hills)
3.Just pick up everything and when you dont need it, sell it to the spirit.
4.You can buy pots from the spirit!
5.SAVE OFTEN ON DIFFERENT SLOTS (so you can load when you encounter the getting stuck bug)
6.Have fun :)
Very nice at first.
But after some time, you realize that as long as you don't pay real money for some stuff (e.g. builders, etc.) your progress will slow down considerably and you will not be able to compete to other players who spent a few Kreds a week.
So very nice game, 5/5.
Unfortunately, only "free" when you are willing to become cannon fodder for players who pay.
Therefore, 3/5.
The game actually punishes you when you rule the first levels...
I finished the first 4 or so in no time, and did not get any upgrades because I was so fast and resources dont carry over...and got pwned in the next level...
so just do what micmac does or wait for improvement of this..
