Battle for Wayland Keep

Nice game, but a little frustrating and repetitive with enemies going straight for the gate instead of you, having to click each individual target you want to swing a sword at because none of them go for you, and going through only getting 1 new ability each night with no one to upgrade them to your own preferences.

I actually found the mechanics and everything to be very, very entertaining. I honestly think with some tweeks to the next game like this, like make it more like an adventure game, include more classic RPG elements (level ups with stat points, different abilities/trees available from leveling up) and perhaps the ability to collect/equip items, I feel like it could end up being really good since the way everything works here makes it fun/not overly cumbersome to control the character and it just 'feels' right. Plus if you included missions there could still be quests where you had to defend castles, so the entire defense thing could still be included but it would be expanded on as part of a more adventure...ish game. I really think it could end up being quite great.

For those having trouble, use your skills to best effect. In early levels charge from one side of the gate to the other to clear out breakers. Use lightning to stun siege weps or take out reapers. I mostly reserved stomp for breakers since they seem to be the only ones to be one-hit by it. Traps are your friends, lay them any time you can if you are within cast range of the gate. If you pause you should be able to lay them where an enemy is about to step. Of course, fireball is just as good and a bit easier to use. The cast with the arc area of effect doesn't have much use except against breakers, but stun a group with them then follow up with another skill like charge that wouldn't normally kill them completely and maybe you'll see some results. Don't get too far from the wall unless there are siege weapons, try to set up traps at the wall before you attack them. Upgrade early, especially your weapon!

The story in this game is fantastic. I have as much enjoyment off the field as I do in it. If I could fight along side some actual soldiers the fighting would be more strategic instead of ruthless hacking.

Very fun game, tho I think it needs to be optimized a bit more. I have a very fast computer and the game froze for couple of seconds when I used all my abilities when there were about 50~ enemies on screen.
