At first, this game seems awesome. Kinda like a shot back to old school RPGs in the like, SNES days. The plot seemed cool, ability tree seemed cool. But then after about twenty minutes when you get off the boat, there's nothing. No story, not even mention of why Vera comes with you (not really...). It's like playing an RPG where the entire point is to run around in circles and level up and ignore the story. Perhaps a FULL story would help. If this were a full game that didn't need endless, pointless fights, had the full story integrated properly, and had more than a point and click world, it could potentially be really good. But as it is right now... Not that great. 2/5 (with 4-5/5 potential)
Game Concept: Decent idea to combine a missile defense game and a tower defense game.
Game Play: Could be better. The cannon you control is entirely boring until you give it tons of upgrades, but to get those upgrades you need about a zillion hours of game play... Also a "send next wave" button would be awesome (because the game is horribly slow) and a redistribution of points like the level-up system in "Protector" would make the game a ton better, since I wasted precious level-ups on crap like the Lightning Globe that I wish I could undo... Also waaaay too many stages. Nobody should EVER play through the entire game more than once. Nobody. Graphics are good though (but MAN does the collision detection need to be fixed... Apparently you kill balloons by shooting just beneath them?).
3/5 from me.
