Warning: Spoilers ahead. The game is fun! - I bought this game a long time ago during a sale. It's phenomenal! - Worth buying(full price is fine) if you like 2D pixel-art strategy games. Just started playing—5 hours in and I want more. I'm just making some coffee and... This is the beginner level, and I've already lost 5 times—kill me now, I love losing in games like this XDDD - Simple, compact, and made by a genuine creator (I really like the "please read" menu)—it feels authentic. - Controls are a bit tricky at first, but you quickly get a feel for them. - The economy is simple and user-friendly, though it does require logistics management. - Population—I really love this aspect: you literally have to shuffle villagers around for perks (I hope the game buffs the tomb or castle every time I kill a villager, lol). - Events and utility features—like the merchant and interactive map elements. - Mining is perhaps a bit too easy (you don't need to build separate ladders to connect floors). - Combat system—cool tower defense mechanics. Building palisades, etc., is a bit of a downside, though. Thank you to the creator (and everyone involved in this project) for developing it. I want more... PS: It would be great to get some DLC or an updated version with improvements. For example, a tool workshop with 3 or 4 types of tools to boost mining/building efficiency, and a new "craftsman" worker class to make those tools. Maybe a Forge for extra military unit upgrades? A Library to upgrade healers? Cheers :)
This is a good game, aside from some rather obvious mistakes that are punished by you essentially losing without actually ending a game, and is by far the most polished game by EDYM Pixels I have played. While I do prefer the sequel they are such different games that each is nigh incomparable to the other, and both are excellent games.
The game is enjoyable and quite addicting but there are few issues that made it unpleasant for me. Here's a list, hopefully the devs will read and fix: 1. Archers aim at random targets that were supposedly blocked by vision. For example they would aim to shoot at bunnies on another floor instead of the zombies on the same floor. 2.you have to click the stairs first before moving the units to desired locations. pathfinding is rather poor and instead of just clicking once, you have to micro-manage a bunch of them. 3. when there are multiple floors, units often hop on undesired floors. for example i click on underground 3 but they would move to underground 2 instead. 4. some placement glitches. if you click fast enough, you can grow a bunch of trees (from the trader) in a row. sometimes moving buildings back and forth allows players to place it in locations that weren't allowed before. you can place half the farm (mill) on slope, which is beneficial for the players but aesthetically unpleasant and just feels wrong. 5. iron and gold looks quite similar. i think it's better to make them visibly more different. 6. need an option for adjusting sound effects volume. the mining sound is too loud. 7. The melee units are too static. it'd be nice if they have a range they would move to engage combat. maybe add a few control options like staying in place, move to combat, move to combat and move back... 8. which creates another problem. when there are multiple units. often times melee units just stood there and watch the ranged units get destroyed instead of engaging in combat despite being near. it'd be nice if there's an option when moving multiple units, the melee would move to the front, then the healers, then the ranged.
