The contrast is too poor on the later pictures. There is too little light difference between the items and their surroundings which makes it hard to distinguish differences from the white noise in the background.
Achievement suggestions: for Juggler, get the cone into the sand and drive it slowly. For Perfect Drive and Skinflint, restart the game, let the first police car drive past the end of the screen and proceed at 20 mph for the entire level. Fast? No. Efficient? Yes.
I won with a level 20 Fire Mage. Suggestions: Do all the detours! Invest in intelligence (15), strength (15), spell casting (10), fortitude (10), reflecting gear, dodge talents, if you're lucky you'll find an ice staff in the polar region, and buy every single piece of meat. Other than that, don't be afraid to retreat especially on lvl 16. If you're swarmed and you retreat to a different level, only one or two will follow you which lets you pick them off easily without the other 20 monsters killing you, then you can heal and go back. Rinse and repeat. Other than that it's luck and trial and error. Storm and Fire can use water and plants to weaponize the terrain.
Earn all the badges to win the game. The last one I had to earn was Inception (get as far as the 250 meter gauntlet without hitting a single object).
Suggestions: "Wolf Tail: wolves no longer attack you" 500 coins, "Mario Shirt: Mushrooms no longer harm you" 300 coins, "bear pelt: bears no longer attack you" 1000 coins. Will definitely reduce the difficulty, but I don't think it'd be game breaking.
Notes: the highlighted flags are the ones you can probably beat. There are 10 Tyrian quests for the badge (they're a dark blue color when they haven't been completed). They're in the middle bottom third of the map. Invest your points in wisdom first (8-9 pts is good).
This game has tons of lag. Also, you need to put a "ready to craft" button on the transmutation menu, i don't want to click through a millionty seven pages to see if i have enough items for anything yet. I'd rather just sell every transmutation item i get.
Finally, a game in this genre with enough in-flight items at the beginning that you don't have to play for two hours before you're actually having fun. *glares at Learn to Fly*
"Is [the princess] fit to rule?" "There is no alternative, she is the heir to the throne." "So, you haven't considered the possibility of a military dictatorship?"
Quite fun, lots of potential, 4/5 stars.
Improvement suggestions: Change "hold speed" to "toggle speed", add a way to buy more than one of something by dragging, reduce the word count of the tutorial, fix the bug that makes engineers get stuck in barriers.
Having trouble? (Note that my suggestions aren't the fastest or most efficient way to win. They're just the most sure-fire.)
Capture the flag: stand on a platform near your flag and spam the ranged button.
Kill 15/last man standing: order your men to defend the highest place on the map, then jump down one level and spam ranged.
Control point capture: equip your men with speed and critical items.
How to make this game suck less: when I click "skip tutorial", ACTUALLY end the tutorial, don't give me 10 more screens of tutorial. Shorten the amount of time NPC enemies have to spend thinking each turn (reduce the complexity of their rule set?). Get a better sorting system for the cards (rarity, hero vs skill, and mana cost are standard sorting options for the genre). Put a magnifying glass icon on the cards so i can click that to expand the card instead of simple roll-over and hope for the best.
4/5 stars. Charming graphics, intuitive game play. Was trying to be story-driven, but story wasn't engaging. Mount upgrades, while not a unique concept, was done quite well. Well worth a few hours of your time.
Waited through incredibly slow load screen, pressed play, game crashed. Waited through incredibly slow load screen again, pressed options hoping to decrease quality, game crashed again. I give up.
Simple one button input so *obviously* the game will be incredibly sensitive and responsive, allowing you to jump every time you press the button and immediately after the button is pressed. LOL NOPE. GL with figuring out the lag/unresponsive pattern. You'll die a lot in the process.
