Won all levels - impressions

[Senlin]

So, finally beaten the last level. Whole gameplay time 3.5 hours.

And, well, sure, lots of achievements to do, the negative modifiers can make the game so much more difficult, but honestly, I'm not sure if I'll get much into it. Already the few playthroughs of some missions felt a bit boring.

Also I'm not a fun of the rock-paper-shotgun mechanics of the troops. Ultimately it just means frustration, as it's so hard to tell specific unit types to go into specific places, where they can fight enemies they are good against. In the end I won that last mission by going all flail and hunters.

I rather dislike how the game doesn't give us precise numbers, and only some vague descriptions, for most things (but somehow not for health of buildings). Maybe that's something planned for later, I really think values such as attack, rate of fire, range, health of units and the exact bonuses they get, would be a must for higher difficulty levels.

Also, those damn enemy crossbowmen in the last mission are ridiculously powerful. What the hell, they kill almost anything with just a couple shots. The ones in previous missions didn't seem that good.

Main hero weapons are completely not balanced at the moment. Bow is very meh, spear is so much better and sword is so terribly bad even against enemies it's supposed to be good. The problem is spear is better in every role - against individual enemies, against groups of enemies, against fast and slow, against those that deal a lot of damage (because of healing). So yeah, enjoy while it lasts, I imagine this will get nerfed.

Overall the game is quite fun, but I wish the overwhelming structure would be done in a completely different way. Like for example a campaign of at least ~15 missions, starting small, with low number of waves, only few ugprades, then gradually getting bigger and bigger. It would be ok even if the individual maps wouldn't be as different to each other as they are now.

Hi there Senlin!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough feedback. It really matters and helps us polishing the game further! I forwarded this to the devs, so they'll see this. =)

Happy to read you had a good time with the game, still. Congrats for beating everything!

Take care!

Hi Senlin,
the crossbow men in last mission are countered by your towers. it seems they deal extra damage to them

Still, if you go glass-canon perk, these crossbomen 1-shot your king. I'd suggest to nerf them a little, so you can receive at least one shot without dying (king is 2-shot)

Ah, that might explain why they are only irritating in early game. Though I guess they are not really spawned much in the later waves.
