The negative comments on this game baffle me - I think it's really well done and a great deal of fun to play. The visual are much better than most of the games here, the music and sound effects are excellent, and the game play is outstanding. 4/5 easy.
TheGraphite: Lighten up, Francis. The game isn't really political (no matter how much the Ron Paul loonies wish it was). The designer picked the three leaders in the polls from each side. Could we please skip the mindless partisanship here? Who did you think he'd put in there? Huckabee versus Kucinich? Most people have never heard of those guys.
I haven't even played yet and I'm giving it 4/5 based on originality alone. Almost all of these games - especially the RPGs - are about as original as paste.
THIS is truly clever. Whether its a great game or not, we'll see ... but you deserve full marks for creativity.
That's it? Chapter 2 ends and its over?
And you didn't even bother to point out that you had to buy battle level before you finish that chapter?
Boo! Bad, programmer. Bad. Think first, publish second.
You have to use the comma glitch or its a pretty dumb game. I started with 520 armor, a great sword, an arrow, potions, 17 agility!
To do it: just enter a comma as your name. Just a comma. Then hit randomize. Keep hitting it. You'll keep getting more armor and items.
You'll see. ;)
Agreed on the save feature: I'm at level 22, loving the game ... but have to quit - and I can't save?
5/5 with a save feature - and add something about how many levels there are total.
What an amazingly fun game!
This is proof that simple concepts and clean, clear design is the key to a good game.
One suggestion: the one thing that would make it better would be a sort of instant-replay feature. Once you've finally solved a level, you should be able to watch your solution over and over - before going to the next level.
Very cool. 5/5.
Unfortunately, as with too many flash games, the many problems with the save function ruin the game.
The auto-save MUST work immediately after every battle. It does not. Fix it and the game gets 4/5.
As it is, I just downgraded to 2/5. Games are supposed to fun, not frustrate you because of all the bugs.
This wins the award for stupidest game at Kongregate.com ... and that's pretty impressive considering there's plenty of stupid to go around.
It's so bad it's not even offensive. Just dumb. Bad. Lame. All the semi-nudity in the world couldn't save this floating turd.
Oh - you gotta be kidding. No ending, bugs everywhere, quests don't work, new recruits go glitchy ... and now I come back and find out that all my saves are gone? Even though I was careful to save it in all four slots?
Can I give zero stars?
The lack of ANY measurable way of observing your progress - and the ABSOLUTE lack of any definitive ending - really ruins this game.
It's a pretty good game; I spent half the afternoon finishing it (I thought). But after taking the last city, there is not even one word to indicate your victory.
Fix this, please.
I was generous with a 2/5. It's sad, since the game has potential ... but the lack of a "save" function really sucks both the fun and the life out of this game.
Although this game is an obvious copycat of a dozen similar games, a few little tweaks - like the butt-slapping fish and the extra burst of air-time - make it strangely addictive! 4/5
An interesting concept, but it could use a more thorough explanation, and it suffers for having no real graphics component. If it had animations of the actions on the cards - soldiers attacking the other castle for example - it would be an interesting game. For now, just 3/5.
A very clever reworking of the original asteroids concept ... although the political overtones aren't exactly subtle.
Nevertheless, a 4/5 for both game play and originality.
