For some reason I'm having issues playing this game. I can see part of the strategy, but if you mess up a single move you bleed money faster than you can get it and then have to start the WHOLE thing over again. So I try waiting for money to stack up but at a certain point events start popping up and pausing the game so I can't let it stay there like an idle game unless I do it very early game. most of the pop ups are to inform me that people have taken back the towns (no upgrade to help prevent/lessen it) and half of the other popups are negitive. sure occasionally I might gain some money but then I'll also sometimes lose half of all the stuff I piled up trying to even get half way through. You can't play it without looking at every choice but playing it safe is barely an option either.
Alright, you got me to give up on the kraken. Hardest hard badge I've attempted and at this point I have to give up. You stop getting gear upgrades several bosses before him and you can only stack two consumables. Plus the kraken feels not well designed, since you're basically running to get the shield to stop the tentacles but depending on the bullet placement you could just wind up running into the bullets on the way and dying anyway. It's totally random if you die that way and not only that, but he heals over time so if you're not rushing to hit the cannons to do decent damage to him it's practically impossible. Nothing about the kraken fight is fun and the difficulty makes terrible gameplay unforgivably unpalatable.
From playing this, I've noticed that the gameplay is not flexible enough to do what the game demands of you. Basically you have to hope for the randomness of the disease spread to infect everywhere before everything shuts down. Even being the least noticeable setup possible I still was unable to infect every country and this was with multiple hard resets. For anything this game might do well, the whole "madagascar" part of this game and the severe punishment for not getting onto the tiny island before the airports of the entire world shut down for a virus that is less dangerous than any other one makes this game disgustingly bad. It maybe one bad game flaw, but it's game breaking and that's all it takes.
Whenever I have it at "Show All" it doesn't show the full screen for some reason. I want to get into this game but issues with basic interaction is currently keeping me from that.
Even after restarting to do the optimal upgrading, and equiping the best outfits I have available, there is way too much grinding. Not to mention if one of my cats glitch as a shooter on a different level as the enemy and i can't die, I lose all of the progress from that run so that makes it last even LONGER.
It feels like, without grinding for upgrades, the combat system is largely 'kill until you get overwhelmed, then run in circles and every so often attack behind you then continue circling the enemies'. It felt like half way into the game that something this long should have a little more variety to it.
It was the explosive barrel level factory where they say someone orders them in the hundreds of thousands. There's only one man who has the keyboard 'skills' to order just that many of a single type of item, and that's Gordon Frohman. Also I can't wait to see more games from you, you really have a good sense of giving upgrades to the player and a sense of being more powerful without destroying the difficulty.
