This game is pure hit-and-miss(joke intended).
You are never told what a job or a school increases until you did it not once, but 5 times. You are NEVER told what increases your chance to hit.(some people guess dex and tactics for physical). Even worse is the unlocking of dungeons and finding of blue chests inside them. Might as well be random.
I don´t like how prince aldor is 100% worse than the elven messenger. The jump thrust looks like he stumbles and his sword has the reach of his own foot. Now consider that the elven messenger has a longrange attack that can behead enemies in 1 swipe. It feels like downgrade.
I swear the Realist AI is cheating. It always takes only 1 die out of its starting throw if there not a 500+ figure in it. It proceeds to only take 1 die until it as 450 points or it is down to 1 die to roll. This maybe the most complex of the 3 AIs, but its a really bad play style. When I play like that, I get 50% zilch before I get 300 together.
The last one took me some time. I was trying which pieces fit next to each other and every time they did I was like "Wow, not so fast". It´s mostly musical posters. For starters, "Ninja Assassin" goes in the top right. That´s the biggest one. The McDonalds logo goes to the very bottom right. Not that that will help you :P
For the easiest time at the challenges, make a purple deck: 5 power drain, 5 markovs library, 5 feral wolves, 5 councilmen, 5 bureacrats, (3 recycle). Just up energy every turn, draw with marks library, drain all the energy and laugh while you pummel your defenseless enemy.
+ if this helped you.
See the secret to winning this game is spamming grenades. Enemy is entrenched with 500 soldiers behind 1 broken wine barrel? Spam grenades. Enemy has 5 tanks in a row? Throw a lot of grenades at them. Why grenades have larger range and more damage than bazookas is beyond me but thats the way it is.
This game sure is lagging a lot. This is one of the few games that lag for me even though it actually has not a lot going on at all. Yes my machine ain´t the newest but what the heck do we need birds flying and sunbeams dancing when the point is that little men try to kill each other?
Now I´ve been gaming basically my whole life, more than the last 15 years and I am 22 now.
I have learned absurd techniques designed to press one or multiple buttons in quick succession both on keyboard and controller. I can´t even imagine how often I have pushed a button in my life.
BUT playing this game made my hand hurt. For the first time in my life I can imagine how you even acquire carpal tunnel syndrom.
This is the most monotonous and drawn out game I have seen in all my life.
Amazing game concept which suffers from +severe+ lag at times. Open menu tabs usually pause the game unless the game decides they don´t, very often arbitrarily.
Then it also sometimes is not clickable because the graphics lag(and you have no alternate way of clicking on your workers or customers, losing both production time and potential sales.
Otherwise a very good and addicting game, but faults like these really lower my enthusiasm.
The amount of luck or foresight needed to beat the final boss is aggravating.
So I took a screenshot and meditated over the board in paint for *every single move*.
And I got him with 27 hp left.
I hate luck based games, but that doesn´t mean I give up.
