I agree -- it's too easy to just sit on your controlled villages, gathering resources and researching upgrades, and fighting off the cpu's to get experience. Suggested fix might be to put a resource cap on all locations, including the enemy, so there is a finite amount to be gained on each map?

The load button is an Easter egg if it exists. It's too bad the save button isn't as hard to find because it's not nice to let people save expecting to be able to load. -4 stars on an otherwise great game. 1/5 stars.

Wow, awesome you got the rights for the Castlevania music, man. And it needs to be louder and far more distorted. I can still hear myself think.

the revive cost is insane sometimes.. much more than re building the same unit.. y not sell the dead unit and re build it, u got a 70% refund and cost less to make another

i very much like the armies, levels and upgrades carrying over from one level to the next, but completing a levels mission quickly prevent more xp and gold overall, I would suggest some sort of early finish bonus to compensate.

At first, I thought this would be another half-made joke of a game, much as many others made these days come out to be. However, I was kindly treated to a working system, a unique concept, well-made graphics, and a great game in general. My only two problems at all with this game are the fact that there is no auto-heal / Heal All feature, and there should truly be more upgrades. I found myself to have them all by the fourth level, which was actually a bit disappointing. Aside from that, this is an outstanding game, and I only wish I had the time to finish it -- I had to stop at Level 7, as I had things to do. Until the main features are fixed, I will make my initial rating a 3/5. I'll push it up to a four once they're fixed.

yeah, this is definiitely glitchy. one Man At Arms costs ~600 gp to bring back to life, whereas another one costs ~1100

Maybe even just a button to heal all units to click on instead of the tedious click-drag of every unit every minute. My only other problem is that in battle you can't cancel a command so your stuck selecting a target if you accidentally click attack.

Very easy game if you just stop doing your mission and collect money to upgrade. Gets a little annoying having to heal after every fight manually (option to heal after a fight would be nice)

Serious balance issues. First enemy army I fought was 1 unit larger than my army, had better units, and took all three of my armies *combined* to kill it (fully healed, as much as I could afford, I gained some small villiage as a result). Its turn happens, its army comes along, beats the shit out of my 1 remaining, badly damaged army, gets fully healed, beats the shit out of the town defenses, heads next door, is fully healed *again* and beats the crap out of those defenses too!
WTF? This is _the fist level,_ it should not be this hard.

You can load a saved game, but there is no autosave and no keeping track of where you are in a campaign. very frustrating to fight through the first three missions and come back to no save, but to have a save at a random point where I thought it would be a good idea in the first mission.

The real problem with this game is that it's easy to make your saved game become impossible. Since there's only one save slot, you can't go back to an older game, and since you can't replay old missions to build up your resources, it's easy to be boned.

nice concept, but.... ok, there already is a save 'button'. now, what would really be nice is an actual save 'feature' :P seriously though, how do you continue a "saved" game? not mentioned in the instructions, no load button, play game just leads to a new game. don't tell me you can't save on kong.

What game were most of you talking about? Save function: present. Cure all: present (hint: buy the cleric upgrade -__-'). I suggest playing more than 1 minute before commenting. That said, I agree that the upgrade system needs a little tweaking, and after you maxed your army the game is too much easy. 3.5/5.

Why is it getting so expensive to revive my demon? He hasn't leveled up or anything. It costs so much to revive him I could buy about 3 new ones for the same cost and they'd be just as good.

Has balance issues, needs auto save and it bugged on me after being in the army buy/heal/upgrade/sell screen, clicking research after clicking back then clicking back and ending up at... THE ARMY SCREEN! Now I can't do anything <.<
Has loads of potential that's currently being wasted on a rather bad game that, at first, looks really awesome.

I really liked the format, but like everyone said, needs alot of tweaking, could totally be a great game. After the first battle I was halfway done upgrading too. Would love to see more units, more upgrade paths, an auto-attack button, a marketplace to buy/sel iron, and in general, anything that would make the game less click when its your turn and more strategic

Had potential but is not there yet - hate games where units on 1hp still do max damage - they shouldn't be able to beat an egg. Balance is an issue too - loadsa gold then can't do stuff cuz no iron. Needs more stepped upgrade path and a save
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
No save fail. Additionally upgrade systems need tweaking. Otherwise you can just sit on first level untill you are fully upgraded/have all max armies.

The game has potential, but from what I've seen so far it suffers from serious balance issues. Gold is abundant while iron is scarce. I ended up leaving my lands unguarded to provoke rebellion and win additional iron in battle. Mages' special attack is too slow to be of any use. Ditto mage heroes. The upgrade tree should provide information about new units before you research them, otherwise the player is forced to guess or look for spoilers when playing for the first time. I'm also not sure if units, resources and research should carry over between levels - right now I'm in level 4 with nearly all upgrades and an unstoppable army and as a result fights have become trivial, repetitive and boring. I'll refrain from voting until I've seen more of the game, but I already feel like I'm playing an unfinished product. Shame, as it could've been a lot better.

lovely game, but needs a heal all function and a big bad timer that tells you when you run out of turns, so far me just waiting for him to come out... -.-'
