Defend Your Kingdom

Fluid, original and deep gameplay mechanics. The design make it feels like it's a casual game, but it really isn't.\ The leveling is way too hard for casual players. Even if you understand and use the various combo, the ennemy is pushing way too fast and hard. I get stuck on the 4th level while my character is fully upgraded and I'm fully focused on the game. So very good for tryharder, not for people who'd like to progress peacefully without re-doing each level 10times.

[h1]Detailed Review (click to read full) [/h1] Charming little game, cool fantasy setting, simple 2D Pixel-Art graphical style, fluid gameplay mechanics, very addictive. Really meant for iPhone or Tablet, but also works on PC (the Dev planned to release it in 2015 on Android, then iOS, and Windows Phone. Afterwards, if there was demand, on PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam Store, so I reckon he was succesfull). Very upfront concept: you’re a wizard that defends each level from hordes of monsters. To do so, you must quickly combine triangles to cast spells. I find it great to just pass time. The game is Not so simple as you might think: to really progress you must think strategically, upgrade your equipment, move quickly, and memorize spell combinations. The leveling is very hard in Normal Difficulty, and almost impossible in Hard Mode: the more enemies you kill the more appear. Each kill adds to your score and money, with which you must upgrade your equipment. Even if you understand...

The game itself seems fine enough but it's plagued with a bunch of tiny little frustrating issues. The game's not fun enough to forgive them. As you might notice, the game immediately screams mobile port; honestly, it's not necessarily a bad port, but we all know how mobile ports are in general. Playing the game with the mouse goes better than one might expect, it's quite clear that it'd be much easier with touch controls, unless they did some adjustment like letting your mouse 'wrap around' the screen. The game balance/difficulty jumps around like a wild cuckoo for a while, but it's quite manageable... until the last few levels. The whole dynamic change, introducing enemies that can defeat you in one hit, creatures that block your spells completely and enemies that prevents you from using gems from your grid... by themselves they'd be fine but the game revolves around surviving for about 3-6 mins with ever increasing monster spawns. By the way, there are spells you're just never eve...

I like how the game was developed. Great puzzle game, however , way TOO HARD! Its unfortunate because this has some real potential. Since I bought it for 99c I wasn't too upset, but I can't finish it. Sad....
