That. Was. MIND-BLOWING. This is what I've been on kongregate for ten years to see. This right here! Thank you jetspice for this incredible experience!
Alright, now I'm angry. I paid for this game, then went back to it and found that all my soulstones were gone. So where I failed to beat the illusionist, I was forced to restart the entire game.
I'm not paying three dollars just to do a replay of a short, cheapskate's game. Thank you very much. An entire subway gift card wasted.
I stopped playing this game quite a while ago, after trying just the first two levels. Coming back and playing some more, I've realized that this game is a strategical masterpiece. It allows the player to discover the best defenses all by themselves, without having to consult a guide or walkthrough. My best defense is as follows: Pits on the front and fourth lines, with frost traps in between. The fifth line is open for use on a whim. The sixth line has knights, and the 7th and 8th have archers. Now I adore the personal combat. I fluctuate between the bow, the shotgun, and the cannon, firing the gun when the cannon is on cooldown, and the bow when the gun is on cooldown. But the thing that REALLY made the game for me was the magic attacks. Big group of tough baddies got you down? Fireball. Iceball. FIREBALL! ICEBALL! If the perks for more damage when the enemy is burning/slowed are fully invested in, these attacks will do 150 damage with each hit, plus slowness and damage over time.
This is the best text-based game I've ever played. The logic is extremely complex, but somehow, you've made It all work out perfectly. I feel like I've been through a million spectacular adventures. And the most amazing part? No grammar or spelling mistakes!
If you could just add just a few milliseconds of invulnerability after each hit, the 10 hydra fight would be much more fair. No more would we be hit by 30 heads all at once, but we would still be hit by many.
I'm pretty sure that everyone on Kongregate has at some point wanted to be a blacksmith. Thank you for fulfilling that dream for all of us. What detail! What depth! I feel like i'm in a real smithy!

Here's a level I made. The interesting thing about it is that if you press and hold down both the up and right arrow keys right from the beginning, you'll win.
*Shudder* I just beat every level with both "make it tough" cheats turned on, and no other cheats. I actually beat the last level without killing any zombies. I wanted to kill them - I rounded them all up at the bottom of the screen for slaughter, but I accidentally led my zombie love into the cage. Man, I feel like a boss.
This is the only upgradeless game I've ever loved. Here are a few tips I've picked up.
As mentioned in the game, the further away your enemy is when you melee attack them, the more damage you'll do.
Spears are extremely helpful when you have two melee enemies attacking you at once. If enemies gang up on you, find a spear, and throw it. Save spears for this purpose, and try not to throw them without a good reason. If you save more than you need and have some left over by the end of the level, use them up on the last few enemies.
Save a spear for the third boss: I was able to beat him without taking any damage, I just kept pressing K.
Spears are good for fighting one enemy at a time, because you can keep them at a distance and do more damage. However, swords are better for fighting several enemies and once, when you need to dispatch them quickly.
This game takes skill. Keep your mind and eyes open.
