Ive happened to notice all escape games are always rated about 2 1/2 stars because most people say "Omg this is so easy i escaped in 12 secs" or people saying "Omg this is so hard i cant escape". It is hard to find good escape games because of that...
This is the best game ive ever seen. When a shielded unit blocks an attack it makes the coolest sound ever. The zone 4 regular practice too hard? try repeating the final zone 3 battle, you can get full paladin armor and the blade of light sells good. To beat the next to last battle try setting Veradux on defensive and keep Veradux alive so he can heal the paladin (If the paladin dies you cant beat the guy.) One last tip: If the enemy is shielding and you use wound or sunder the enemy will still get the status effect (and you still get to hear the cool sound.)
