I liked this game. It's relatively easy to get the achievements (at least those here on Kongregate, I don't know about the other ones), but that doesn't really matter, because it's like in Tetris - this isn't a game you just finish, you keep trying to get the best score. 5 stars.
Bows and swords, anyone? I can return maces (or at least I'll try - I don't think I will be able to forge 8 maces by tomorrow since I still can't get the last 2 badges)...
I started playing because I like the "trading weapons" idea and I wanted to be able to produce more... trying for the badges, I've accumulated more than 4 hours of gameplay in the last 2 or 3 days... at this point I have 2 badges... all that said, I think I can safely say that this is THE MOST BORING GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED. I'm just playing half-heartedly to get the badges, and I'm never picking it up again after the 30th.
Aw, sad ending. Despite the controls glitch, I'm giving this game 5 stars. I trust that the glitch will be fixed. The game is definitely worth a badge.
Level 30 needs the opposite - you need to lower the percentage, otherwise it's practically impossible. I've tried a dozen times and I can never get it.
