Have to agree with jepulix, the duration was incredibly short, which is a good thing to keep people going for completion, but zero incentive to ever come back to it. Future inclusions: not just auto-fire, but perhaps auto-macro? Not that just Ctrl+clicking and setting everything to auto-attack clears everything with a minimum of interaction, but surely that qualifies as an 'idler'?
The 'achievement' stipulations of the Heaven campaign added some minor replay value beyond stark gold-grinding, especially the multi-path ones, but simply purchasing meatshields to absorb any damage and unrestricted damagers behind left little strategy. Similarly, the 'ultimate', or at least most expensive, units seemed to be anything but: auto-attack that hits everything for minimal damage seems about as anticlimactic as it could be.
However, an interesting premise, and certainly sufficient for me to check in on any sequel: 3.5/5

kinda like the concept of the game, and do like the new hotkey for auto attak, but i'm afraid theres a bug. If u autoattack the wizard of the hell group, it has a short reload time, which makes many levels so easy and not challenging.

3/5: Great game, but auto-attack would make it a 5/5; the healing units and units that can attack outside LoS could simply work at random, unless specifically targeted.

Another dumb aspect of the game: Can't sell units, you can delete all your units, leaving you no money to buy new units, therefore screwing you over. New game time.

Liked it. 4/5. Needs instructions/ character skill descriptions (eg. Angel girl, what is she doing?). i dont mind the idea of no hotkeys but it sucks a little when you have to move cursor over to enemy with old angel (and any others i haven't used yet)- particularly annoying on a laptop.

If your game is based on deliberately making the control scheme suck, then you're making a game about controls. Does anybody think game controls are fun? Does anybody think fighting bad game controls is fun?

I can't get past the tutorial. Says" Press the char to open the menu of actions" None of the actions change that. I went ahead and tried killing the dummies to see if that would get past the bug, but they won't die so I'm stuck.

Having lots of units is useless, 'cause you can't control them quickly enough, the only way to play is to level up one or two units to full power. Either make it truly turnbased or add hotkeys or a way to auto attack. 2/5, and one of those stars is for the intro movie which amused me.

Not only could Gigant kill most of my units in one shot (Except for upgraded versions of the lowest tier units, go figure), but he hits almost every unit at once...
Also, my hand really started to hurt after awhile. Really needs hotkeys or an autofire.

How is having no hotkeys balanced? Since your opponent is a computer it can attack the instant it's ready but the player as a person has to click at least twice so then you're attacking less often.

pretty fun until i met the nord man with my hell army. He like hits 50+ dmg in 3+ spots every second. Thats god right there. Need to make him much easier, decrease his attack rate and damage. I was playing on easy mode and this was like epic hard. Spent over an hour trying to beat him and i couldnt. gf easy mode.

I know I'm not saying anything new, but I'll add my voice to it. The clicking over and over, combined with certain units needing to target after clicking, made me feel like I was wasting 2/3 of my units. Also, the Demon levels suck at earning gold, making it a grind-fest to beat the later levels.

Nice game completely wrecked by lack of keybinds - hand started to hurt from clicking before I could really enjoy it.

Spiffy graphics, shitty controls and system. Needs balancing, and hotkeys. Whoever decided to use lack of hotkeys as a balancer should be shot. There are two types of challenging games: ones with innovative gameplay, and ones that are challenging due to crappy control systems. This game falls into the latter. 2/5

I got to level 3, but I don't feel like playing it. It's just the same enemies, except more of them. The game hasn't given me enough cash to buy more units (I upgraded one of my original guys, turned out that cost me most of my dough), and I know I can't beat it.

Nice concept, however some issues I have with. Leveling up is simply a matter of how much money you have not any relation to how much a creature has been in battle or killed someone so you can grind away at lower levels and simply bam have yourself a maxed level creature. The lack of any "auto" function makes this a matter of how fast can you click, and the computer is always going to click faster than you can so you're already at a disadvantage combine that with the losing turn points if you get hit and it really makes for a frustrating game because having to click between 6 characters can get tiresome especially if your rhythm gets screwed up because one guy has to wait now because he got hit. The last angel unit seems extremely overpowered, attack that hits everything? Good for you if you have those units, bad for devil if you go against them. Plus no story line to it, there really was no feeling of accomplishment when I beat everything.

"a) The absence of “Hot Keys” is on purpose; Hot Keys would ruin the current balancing of the battles"
What 'balance', the computer uses an AI to throw everything its got at you, while i have to use mouseclicks. Seriously? Balance is for player vs. player. Don't "balance" my skill by limiting it to how long my hand can hold out clicking furiously all over the damn screen.
Fix this.
BTW, i think i won the game and cleared everything. How bout a notification? An ending screen?
This game would be mint, if you actually finished it before putting it up.

Umm. Wait. You decide to take away hotkeys to balance the game...When BEING HIT CAUSES YOUR DELAY TO REDUCE ANYWAY? That's unacceptable. 1/5 until either there is hotkeys, autofire, or being hit doesn't cause delay.

This should absolutely be turned-based! It would be a perfect game if it was. I know a lot of reviewers are obnoxious and make stupid suggestions, but trust all of us here. This would be absolutely amazing if it was turned based.

Fine concept? but too primitive and monotone. Probably game should be turn based and with more units, some kind of buildings and upgrades. 4/5 for effort.

This sucks. Without hotkeys, how are you supposed to beat 30 seconds? Especially if you are using elder angels, which require you to select a target -- and then the mouse control is too stiff, and it doesn't register your choice. The control just ruins it.

i also think it needs to be turn based. The difficulty level seems amazingly high, and Im not going to continue to play a game that frustrates me from the very beginning. Good start though 3/5.

Perhaps you can make an extra storage for your not used units, because sometimes I want some not into the battle (as for like to get the max health achievements) but I'd hate to delete them and rebuild them everytime

i like the tactical aspects of subobjectives and minimalistic party management, but after a certain point battles too often turn into a pure clickfest. i ended up finishing the angel campaign with a party of 3 chars only one of them really 'active'. a guard was placed in front of a mage at perma-guard, a buddon started by casting his all-hit and was basicly useless afterwards (because he didn't get a second turn due to constantly incoming retard effects), the mage picked off all enemies one by one. might as well only have used guard and mage.... --------
i know the atb-style battles are part of the core concept, but i really wished it would be a 'dynamic' _turn-based_ system (think grandia or ff X).

lack of hotkeys and explaining that as "maintaining balance" is being lazy and downright retarded since the game requires endless grinding
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
2/5 until you make some improvements. Agree with all the top-rated comments. Hotkeys, for god's sake! Clicking every where sucks. And the click-detection isn't very good - or hard to tell when you have clicked correctly. Don't balance thru removal of hotkeys.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
OH awesome if you go to move then click off and have not clicked where you want to move you get stuck forever. 1/5 this game is boring the sound is repetitive and the game play is lame.
