All 3 characters felt like they specialized in something making me feel that the game could have been better if you were just one character that can switch out from different arrow types. Green felt naturally stronger at shooting air units and weakening groups, but I couldn't handle huge mobs of small weaker enemies. Blue felt strong at hitting single target and dealing with groups of medium enemy but was decent at dealing with air. Red felt like he was the best at crowd control especially against the spiders, but I always had trouble dealing with air enemies that wiggle around too much.
Even with many flaws, this was a pretty decent game and I could see the developer(s) improve this in the future.

I enjoyed this game a lot. I like that it was actually pretty hard and doesn't just feel like a chore to play. The difficulty doesn't scale properly with levels though. This is mainly because the spider women are overpowered, making levels with lots of them more difficult than some levels afterward. The final boss is too easy, I didn't even take damage during that fight. 4/5

It's totally unbalanced on different characters.
Red character is nearly boring, having splash damage.
Green character is quite impossible to use after 6th level.
Haven't tried out blue one.. got tired before.

Last levels are wrong... I'm playing with the low damage-quick guy, and it's almost impossible to get 3 stars. And it's not a problem of my ability (I'm doing headshots all the time without stop!!!) or my upgrades (maxed everything but the castle walls). The only way to win 3 stars is to get lucky and the critical ability activates A LOT, which is stupid... you have to be to damm lucky! I don't know if the other characters are the same... but I just feel myself cheated...

king: "here's a bow that has magical powers. There is a giant army of evil monsters coming. I want you to kill them all. Alone. without help. The rest of the 1000 swordsmen we have will just sit around and eat.... good luck

At first I felt I needed to complain about aiming, but you get used to it after a while. I believe the damage is 3 star= 90% hp and above, 2 star= 50% hp - 89%, 1 star = 1%- 49%. With leanard Wildburn the pierce really isn't worth it, focus on increasing explosion damage then rapid fire and the game will progress smoothly.

Now i wonder how "Thundergod Spirit" can hit like 5 Enemies behind the target, but not the target itself... i mean its Thunder! :O

How are you supposed to beat the challenge where missed arrows turn into enemy's as the poison archer with illusion arrows. It would be great if the illusion arrows didn't count toward the added enemy's. Please upvote so it can get fixed.

The game was incredibly challenging... until the boss level. That was so easy... I was expecting it to have a second half.

For the 'keen eye' award, it appears that all of your arrows must hit, even shadow arrows. I recommend going to stage 1 with only your main arrow to get this award.

A couple helpful tips:
Focus on upgrading your arrow strength and on the number of arrows. When possible get the poison upgrade. Speed of the bow is nice but not essential. Health of castle can be left at the starting point until you have everything else upgraded.
Get in the habit of firing and then immediately holding the mouse button down to recharge. Don't wait until the arrow hits. If you do this, you will save 1 second per shot (roughly) which is about the same as all of the arrow speed upgrades.
Once you have poison get used to how quickly enemies die. You will be able to use less shots and let poison do your work for you while you shoot other enemies. Fire at the guys as soon as they come on the screen so that poison can work to its maximum duration.
Be constantly firing. Even if there isnt a target, you will be getting your aim down.

1) click "support us" for 4 free stars (don't even need FB or twitter) 2) For Red Guy, upgrade explode and speed first to spam bombs. Add piercing for spider eggs and healers in the back. Last stages, aim up and only click halfway repeatedly to create a falling wall of exploding, piercing arrows. 3) For Green Guy, put one in poison and one in multi-arrow before maxing speed. Last stages, you'll be spamming so many poison arrows that the boss will be a joke. 4) For Blue Guy, upgrade electricity and speed to spam arrows at the bigger or more stationary targets. Last stages, also aim up and create a wall of electricity that NOTHING can get through. 5) Re-spec for challenges. Increase damage and multi-kill powers when you only have a few arrows. Remove multi-arrow when missed arrows create enemies. Increase multi-kill and speed powers for tiny enemies. Increase power and speed for headshots. NEVER increase fort HP for challenges. Then re-spec to play normal stages again.

Can you get fully upgraded? I have all stars on all levels and have completed all challenges, but I'm still 4 stars short of leveling my final item??

After playing all three, fire is by far the best skill. Lighting has the "wow" of how many enemies it spreads to, but fire does way more damage AND applies to your primary target. Poison sucks, but the arrow splitting is pretty good (worst character though). Fire's other skill is terrible, though. Pass through means that the explosion doesn't hit, which is counter to the point.

A couple of tips for those who think this a bit too hard: Get in the habit of firing and then immediately clicking the mouse button again. Dont wait until your arrow hits before you reload. Second, poison is a great addition to the arsenal. Third, kill the ranged attackers early. Non-ranged can be squished when they get near the castle and you can drop 3 or 4 shots in a row when they are up point blank. You will kill the close ones much quicker because your load time is practically zero.

Gaining achievements should give stars as well. Given the aiming issues, and extreme difficulty arc you need more ways to upgrade sooner.

To the developer: Please don't listen to the complaints about difficulty. The weakness with so many games is that you don't have to be good to beat the game, but simply grind your way to upgrades. This game requires you to have a lot of skill to pass certain levels, and there is no way to simply upgrade your way to make it easy. Not every game has to be the same, and I like ones with a bit of challenge.

The Blue fast guy owns in this game! Cleans flying units, spiders and everything else in a sweep. Pick him if you want to win the game!!
The Red one is ok. The piercing upgrade is not that good, because it will pass the exploxion proc to other creature you're not aiming at. Cleans terrain creatures like a charm, but flying creatures can get hard.
The Green one is just hard as hell, to play and upgrade! Spiders will be a massive problem, and so will be anything else. He has a different style of play, you have to aim for the last creature to enter the field and poison everything. You will get in trouble if you can't manage to maintain the right flow.
-> Overall tip: Aim for the last upgrades, the specific of each archer, and upgrade them as soon as you can. But don't stay with unused stars, use them to upgrade speed/damage and reset when you have the quantity of stars you need to upgrade a better skill. Replay levels, win more stars, win the game. And pick Blue!

Extremely difficult game, Tough to aim, tough to kill, tough to earn upgrades. And not rewarding for the effort... Very disappointing. But improved aiming, hit boxes, and a more consistent upgrade process would fix all the issues. If you aren't beating a level because of the difficulty, you can't get stars to upgrade and make it beatable. Very frustrating.

I actually like the shooting system as it makes this game different than many others, but the hit box is sometime off. Every once in a while an arrow will go right through a monster.

Using the blue blue ranger makes some challenges very hard to beat. The last one is impossible to finish even if all your shots land! You need to balance the missions for blue ranger by adding extra arrows to the count and reducing damage taken when shooting in last mission.

green is by far the best one that dot does insane damage that stacks the more hits they take so you hit them with 2 of your 4 arrows in one shot they have 2 stacks right there doing 150 damage per tick. i beat the last level on the first try with zero damage done to me

It will be nice if you can earn money too every stage you play, and can buy some equipment and archers who shoots automatically, it's a nice idea of game.
Tip:
1. To aim better and with accuracy, shoot aiming a bit upper to the head
2. The more fastest way to get a longest shoot with less time is aiming at 45 degrees from the ground.

Chose the lightning dude. Won with no problem. I also didn't have issues with aiming or hit boxes. Stop griping. Learn to aim. Good game. 5 stars.

How to choose your archer:
Are you a bad/reckless aim and want area of effect damage ? Yes - Fire.
Are you a pretty good shot and like gambling a bit ? Yes - Lightning.
Are you a God at gaming or do you want to lose every single game from level 6 onward ? Yes - Earth.

old-school-kongregate advice: vote up for ppl to read. the game is not really balanced. if you want to play this game without being one of the frustrated ones here at kong, pick the red one. and NEVER level up piercing shots. reason? a) the red one is the only one who has an area damage, a detonation inflicting ALL enemies in range. the green one only got a few more ("ghost") arrows, and the blue one got his lightning, which only does damage to few enemies at once too. sucks in late game b) if you level up piercing damage, you get a high chance your arrow flies through the first enemy to make damage to the next one, if there is one. plot twist: the detonation(most important area damage) hits on the second enemy. now try to kill air units, its harder with piercing. NEVER level it up, it makes you weak.
