Great concept. I would like to see more skills usable at once, more time to set up, more passive skills, less grinding. 4/5

Too much grinding, not enough strategy. You can win the game by clumping your heroes together, maxing the speed, and doing the level over and over without looking at the screen. I like the idea of the teleport powers, but they weaken your hero (only two skills allowed, and that's one of them), are hard to use in the middle of a fight, and aren't really worth it when you can get more experience faster by looking away from your monitor and letting the heroes die a few times.
Suggested improvements:
- Monsters give less experience if they've been through the end-gate. This will encourage players to kill them early.
- Have a third available skill, which can only be used for "active" skills like teleport.
- Make it easier to level up. The game's not too long, but the grinding makes it _feel_ too long.

@punksush1 - Thats a good suggestion but you're going to get -500 by giving it 1/5. its counterproductive, not constructive criticism.

Certain skills are rather useless, for example, Sorgal's Scourge of Malice would be a lot more practical if "spectral" damage did not mean that EVERY enemy with ANY resistance suffers less than the expected damage to it! The Kitsunes are excellently designed, but the sheer ineffectiveness of the ice type attacks, especially when compared to their respective fire counterparts, makes half their skill tree to be nothing more than an ornament.
The two slot limit on skills is indeed a great aspect of the challenge of the game, forcing the player into thinking up effective strategies and maximizing the output. However, once the kitsunes are able to use the meteor and fire storm spells, coupled with the kings' spiritual healing and Sorgal's Warcry and speed buff, what remains of strategy is to just sit around and change to an ice type attack whenever an enemy immune/highly resistant to fire comes around. I think balancing out the ice attacks will help overcome this block.

Its a great game but like most comments have said, it becomes far too much of a grindfest! I played the level 6 over 10 times just to beat level 7! I get to level 8 and it seems like I have to do the twice that. I love grinding but even I have my limits. (4/5)

After playing Orbital Decay, decided to check out your other games. Was expecting more of the normal TD game lol yes I should read instructions FIRST lol Taking some time to get used to this -- you should put in a Kindergarten Don't Hurt Me Daddy version for dummies like me LOL

This is one of the best games I have played so far. Definitely 9/10. Yes, it has it's flaws and has room for improvement, but the concept, it's implementation and presentation are simply superb. This is not a TD game with elements of a RPG in it. It is a RPG with a solid fantasy-epic based storyline and a TD style battle system. The extremely flexible skill system allows the player to freely choose his playing style, create and adopt strategies to the situation, and of course, the variable immunities and resistances of the enemies(especially in the hell campaign and eternal damnation battles) ensures that the player cannot just station his units cleverly and go off for a coffee break. Like any other RPG, some grinding is required, but the game COULD have used a little more length, maybe 2 or 3 more stages? The character of sammine is missing from the story, maybe she was added because 6 heroes felt like too little for the game? [Review Continued in the next Comment]

"Win with ability not numbers"... and the monsters flood the screen, all waves released simultaneously. Is this a bug? It certainly is sadistic.

Really? All for the fact that you can't access people out of a battle....you vote it down? Pfft. 5/5 just to cancel you out mate. and also because it is a GREAT game

there should be 3 skills allowed otherwise the kings just stand in the middle with the skill that you get more mana and the one which gives you some health for 8 seconds

This game isn't very hard and doesn't require much strategy. You can't even make more people/towers like a real tower defense style game you just have a few people that can only have two abilities each, and you place them at the beginning of the game and cant do anything else. '+' if you think this game need more strategy not just beginning of game placement.

the respec button is in the skill tree, near the close button and it looks like this: "<<". the title was inspired equally by the slayer song and by manowar's "blackwind, fire and steel"

The idea for this game is great, however.. the execution is EXTREMELY poor. This game should not be improved upon, it should be entirely rewritten from the ground up.

@Corloc&MikeHunt17
If the game feels to hard for you, then you do something wrong. Its not a problem to go straight to level 4 without any grinding. If you cant pass level 1 then try Kingdom Rush on casual ;)
This is one of the best oldschool TDs ever.

I admit, there is some grinding, but I happen to like this game a lot. The storyline, the plot, and most of all the imagination put into this game. 5/5

the game would b easier if the hero's had a little more life and i TOTALLY agree with the grinding and the slots, this game needs a couple of improvements, rate + so owner will C

About the comment on the classes, a shield maiden was an archer who basically played back up to a knight by keeping track of their gear and running it to them in battle if they couldn't get to the stuff themselves. Oh, and Kitsune are Japanese fox spirits known for their trickery using magic based loosely around the elements of nature. I think the two kitsune should have different elemental abilities personally, it would make things more interesting.

i like how the levels transfer to each place instead of having to upgrade with money or something but with that said i find the best way to beat any level is to grind which irritates me alot

The addition of passive abilities would go a long way.
A few ideas for the next one...
1. Make a second one :D
2. Make the story line prominent
3. Defined paths
4. more flavorful levels, the current designs are good but pushing the envelope never hurt.
5. almost everything whatabrain said ;P
All and all this is a great game, and i really hope we all see more of you work. bump for greater justice

This is old, but anyways, after playing this game a while, if it did implement the Kong API, it should at least get 1-2 badges. This game, though you gotta grind, and some levels just turn me off, but regardless of these faults, it's still a challenging and 1/2 decent defense game. THey could improve it with some tweaks, and map changes.

by the way, this is SO funny, i keep getting confused between the next wave button and the speed multiplyer, once i was playing and i wanted to speed up the game but i clicked the wrong icon, so it kept sending in a whole bunch of waves and im like "what in the whole world is goin' on here!!!!!!" lol

I wish they could have added stat upgrades for each of them, something along the lines of "upgrade the amount of mana (this character) has" for mages. Then something like "upgrade the damage done by (this chracter) by 10% each point" for warriors.
