I was having a great time until the second room in Heroic Red, and blocks that don't respawn unless you start the level again. Then suddenly the game got REALLY annoying. And that's when I stopped playing. Too bad, I wish I could have cleared it...
I liked it, well balanced for me, knowing that you really have to go back and get some stars for upgrades periodically. Graphics, programming and sound are top notch!!
If you can work out what it is that triggers this off, I'll be eternally grateful! Lots of people have reported it, but I've never seen it happen myself.
Great new variation on the TD genre, it's really fun. I wish it had keyboard shortcuts, though, especially "U" for 'upgrade', as I have to upgrade towers so many times per game, and I don't like clicking back and forth to the top menu...
Gets really boring after about level 50, the baddies barely make it on the arena before being killed, there's no challenge at all... The real challenge at that point, is to survive boredom for 100 days!
(contd.) The merks get killed super quickly because they always lag way too much behind when you're trying to avoid a mob; I have so spent WAY TOO MUCH time searching for stupid stuff in buildings in order to advance the story, and worst of all I have to WAIT WAIT WAIT for the buildings to be searchable again; this game give the ILLUSION of being playable for free but if you want to make it to the end you'll have to grind for DAYS ON END, repeating the same easy levels 10, 20, 30 times in order to get cash to buy supplies that you have to wait HOURS to get anyway. The controls are terribly frustrating and you always wind up sending yourself right in the middle of the mob while trying to target; and the keyboard shortcuts are the most USELESS ever! Why not put some decent one, like switching from melee to range weapon?..... Anyway, I could go on and on, but I'll just quit, forget about the frustration and go back to playing DEAD NATION, from which you stole most of your ideas anyway!
I made it to region 3, and I'm stopping to play. There are many many reasons why my frustration has grown so much as to make the game unpleasant (in no particular order): too many obvious, easy to fix bugs, for example meat sticks shooting through buildings; halfway through region 2, you need a full 2 hours of resources generation just to do ONE level, and to get the money for that you're supposed to GRIND GRIND GRIND for hours on lower levels, which are the only ones that can be accomplished without spending resources; I usually wind up at the end of a level with a big ass boss just GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES around buildings, shooting whenever I can, for MORE THAN 10 minutes, because there's no other way to pass the level, and it's F*CKIN boring!! (contd.)
The only way I found to equip armor on mercs is by selecting 'mercs' just after buying armor. Then I can see the mercs screen with my previously bought armor. I can't find any way to replace/upgrade armor on mercs without buying a new piece each time. I have no problems managing guns and melee weapons, though. A bug perhaps?
I love the game, I hate the bonus levels. They would be fun if we didn't have to go through the main level every time. I wonder why you did it like that?
J'aime bien le niveau à Québec! Mais ce jeu ne donne vraiment pas assez d'argent. Combien de dizaines d'heures faudrait-il pour acheter tous les chars... J'ai pas la patience...
