Anything else, machine guns, rifles, assault rifles, etc are all absolutely useless. I recommend you start over if you don't have a bowgun by level 8 or so. WRONG sp4! Its calle dupgrading weapons, and getting skills. YOU FAILED YOUR MOTHER!

Don't choose a JRPG-roguelike for inspiration. Elona had the problems of both types of games and was generically terrible.
I just lost to a bunch of chickens because they have ranged attacks of 90% of the screen.
HOWEVER, allies have their own aiming reticules, which I really like and wished other similar games had. Keeps me from wasting shots on creatures my allies are killing (and vice versa).

Finally got it figured out. When I realized the achievements didn't work, I "Carried Over" the game on Level 11 about 150 times or so until I had nearly $20,000. Then I bought 2 house upgrades and recruited 2 others. One of them came with a crossbow (Bowgun). I stole that for myself and then lucked out on the next level with finding another bowgun in the store. Since then I have equipped a third bowgun on one of the other mercenaries. I have been unstoppable since. Basically the game is broken without the bowgun. Anything else, machine guns, rifles, assault rifles, etc are all absolutely useless. I recommend you start over if you don't have a bowgun by level 8 or so.

pretty nice until after about the 10th day, when the money needed to continuously upgrade your castle falls far behind the money you are able to make killing creatures and selling items.

Thought it was 5/5 it turns out its more like 3/5 Game gets ridiculiously hard to the point you have to farm. (and as Dark Reality said, is really unbalanced, not "hard")

Decent idea but terrible execution. It should never take three shots from an assault rifle to kill a chicken. And the cost to recruit new people is insane. And when the spread of a shotgun doesn't hit anything in a group, you know you've got a broken game. Desperately needs to have just about everything readjusted.

i find that its not exactly easy, but not impossible. its a good challenge. and yes im playing on normal mode, not casual. and reloading always sucks, so thats no big deal.

The bowgun is definitely awesome, particularly when dealing with catapults since it hits it so many times, but it is SERIOUSLY annoying how a lot of the time the arrow goes through an enemy and decides that it didn't. Lost many many times because of that. Also got blitzed by 4 suicidal guys in a row right off the bat. That was lame.

Way too hard to be a 5/5 I really loved the game but it is just super hard to survive the later levels, even with 2 troops and top of the line mods. 3/5

Accuracy sucks. It should make the speed FASTER, not slower. Not only that, but it EXTREMELY limits the range of your shot.
