While I enjoy the addition of a storyline, it would be nice if it was coherent - like how are there any soldiers after the first four levels if they're all dropping dead and deserting? The upgrade thing also really pisses me off - if i bought it, i want it available immediately dammit. Otherwise good game.

Summary:
A generally good improvement from the first game. One notable improvement is that the game has roleplay value.
First impressions:
All things were bigger, resulting in a relatively smaller map. The game still followed the same dynamic of shoot down/mana up/and spam, with the enemy sending the same units at you every time.
Suggested improvements:
Multidimensional attacks - Take it from Ben Olding's "Warlords: Call to Arms", which would allow you to send units on different levels of the field, use that concept and expand on it
Dynamic Enemy - An enemy that will adapt to your strategy and get harder, pushing at you at every corner, this will force the player to think about how they are using their mana.
More than one resource - To add more depth, don't make mana the only thing we're spending in the game

To the guys complaining about the difficulty: it's not really that hard. I didn't even take a hit until Chapter 4 (when I took a grand total of 20 damage. Finishing with 4980 health out of 5000 isn't too bad). If you're having trouble, replay level 1 and practice aiming and upgrading. I really like this game, I haven't had any trouble with auto-fire (clean your keyboards people!) and I'm giving it a solid 5/5 for graphics and gameplay... although I haven't really been paying attention to the storyline all that much. I'm a little too eager to try out the elves, sorry!

Um, correction to my previous review: I meant holding down the "A" button, or whatever the fire button is. My apologies to the three people who read my review.

You really needa allow us to hover over items we can unlock but don't have enough mana to purchase so we can know how much mana it'll take...

Not sure if it's just me, but i have apparently unlocked the orcs but it says it's exclusive to kongregate - which i'm playing it on. When i click the orc race it opens up a new tab with the exact same game in it... 4/5 if this is a bug.. 5/5 if its just me.

Good game. Autofire works for me, just by holding down the moouse button. The upgrade is kind of weird, It allows you to upgrade your castle DURING THE LEVELS. You have to get the amount of mana required for the upgrade (100 for the barracks, for example) and then click the icon. I actually like it that way but I wish it mentioned how much the upgrades cost when you mouse over them in game. Overall, I really like it. I don't think it's that challenging, if you're having trouble just replay the first few levels and get some more upgrades.

Even after using the EXP to buy the upgrade, I am never given the option to upgrade anything in-game. Very disappointing.

yes, it is extremely annoying that you NEVER know how much MP you need to upgrade a building unless you ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH!
