Only thing that prevents me from fiving this is the ridiculous teammate AI. Someone takes 45 damage? HEAL! Someone takes 1700 damage and is AT 45 hp? NUKE INSTEAD OF HEALING! Enemy is Shatter Bolted? Use another Shatter Bolt! AND a Break for good measure! Someone's at full Focus? Regen buff! Still full? A second buff! Still full? A THIRD BUFF! So what does our +30 regen GUNSLINGER do? Quick Strike! Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. If teammates had more than 9 IQ, this would be the perfect RPG, but as is there's far too much luck involved hoping they can remember how to tie their freaking shoelaces each turn. Final boss COULD be beaten easily with 3 humans, but with 1 human and two lawn gnomes you have to spend an extra couple hours levelling til you can solo the dork, or cheat until you're stronger than 3 players combined. Whee.
70 xp shotgun, 33 xp shotgun, three 80+xp medics, 7 frenchies, a tommy gun, an engineer, 3 officers, a 20 xp sniper, a scout, 2 trenches, a 22 xp Signaller, with tower, calling in air superiority...all die to one arty strike. 197 germans killed (with 25.33 accuracy vs my 10.05 accuracy), which only counted as 22 freaking waves. This will (hopefully) be the only card challenge I ever skip. And to the people trying to defend it as "L2P its strategy not a shootr"...what strategy is there? I read the guides, it basically said to do what I had done on my own the first 5 attempts; build a nice mix of units and sacrifice an orphan to the dice gods so you don't lose to a plane/arty/etc. No strategy, no skill, pure luck, but not as much fun as Zilch (and zilch didn't take 45 minutes per failed card challenge).
How on earth does this have a 3.99 average? You just walk forward and hope the game doesn't roll dice that say "you have been eaten by a grue...I mean Airplane." 1/5
Moar glitches! When you block with dogs, sometimes the attacker completely walks through it (no penetrate, you take full damage and dogs are unhurt). Silence lasted up to 5 turns as mentioned. Blue buffs/debuffs last a turn longer/shorter occasionally, as mentioned. If you use Sniper ability, the game still asks you if you want to attack or block with it even though you can't. Add to this the computer tending to kill itself with life-paying cards, and discarding 4 cards to memory serpent and deciding not to attack, and playing memory erase when outnumbered 3 to 0 in creatures... 2/5. Patch/sequel prz.
The mana system is interesting, adds another layer of strategy rather than luck. But as mentioned...the AI is pitiful, and a few more card options would be nice.
My survival team was Warrior/Cleric/Cleric/Ranger. Give everyone perma speed/damage/regen/poison immunity. Blind stuff with Holy Light, kill stuff with...anything really. If one cleric gets killed/stunned, rez/heal with the other, Shield Wall if necessary (only used like 5 times, prolly didn't need it at all that early). Got to wave 40 with no deaths for the badge, then stopped casting spells and just auto-attacked...and lasted 7 more waves lol.
According to the campaign stats, I built 31 assault troops. Only 2 bothered to use grenades, the rest either died from artillary or used their rifles.
Far too luck based. First 4 artillary shells miss...oh look, the fifth killed 23 men. Tank vs Tank...mine wins with 3% health left, finishes the level single-handedly. Etc.
Neat ideas, would be more fun if such things were fixed.
Samurai Jack was amazing.
This game looks good, and has some neat ideas, but a tad repetitive, and the Strategy map thing at the end seemed tacked on. Still a good way to waste a night :)
