After a while of survival, the waves stopped coming... Had to destroy my HQ with the photon mortar strike then kill myself the same way to quit. Might wanna fix that for act 2 if survival mode's in there too.
Also, it would be nice if you could carry over your unlocked weapons/units/powers from act 1 into act 2.
Quite an improvement on LS1. Bit disappointed that I couldn't find the barret in two runs, but oh well, the hand grenades and traps made up for it. Very angry at how many times runners with knives came up and killed all my survivors. =/ Still, 5/5
5/5 Its a good game once you get the hang of it. Learning curve's a bit high, but there aren't too many overtly challenging games here...
Make an online multiplayer version and it'd be awesome.
This game really is unique, it was just so odd, yet it was entertaining to play.
Also, i find the music cool and it totally works with the game. Just gotta remember not to listen to the game's music with no lights on...
Tips for flawless victory badge
First, my team consisted of:
Front line: 5x knights [+1 hp +2 atk]
Two more knights at the back corners with the same upgrades
one healer [+1 range, +1 heal power] in the back center.
in general, think of this as chess
Know to distance your troops before attacking.
Hold the line. Try not to let your defense line break.
Leave no wounded
Flank frequently.
Learn the shield system.
Avoid last ditch [a troop under 5% attacking]. When used by you or the cpu.
Find troop formations for different situations. stack ur troops into columns for defense vs archers. spread your troops against mages.
Learn to "trick" the cpu. Often you can usea healthy unit as a tank. place it next to an enemy and face it backwards so they will attack it.
Find what works for you. My method probably wasn't the only way to get the badge.
It's a game. have fun.
The game is pretty hard until you get the hang of it. The learning curve on your cannon's weapons takes a while, movement seems to be fine without engine upgrades, and its absolutely ridiculous how both the red and blu bombers can kill your shields so easily. It would be better if you had more ether to upgrade early on and the game was a bit easier. 4/5
[Note: the 3k badge becomes real easy in the later levels, so just hold on til then if you keep losing points from dying between levels. After that, you should have enough incentive to go for the sun eater.]
