"Frustrating but fun"
date: July 14, 2008
If you're fiending for some starcraft...this is not really the place to go. This is no RTS game, this is simply a starcraft-themed defense game. However, the sounds, the graphics (except the nuke explosion) is straight outta starcraft and there's still amusement to be had. The game is pretty well done, but the frustrating part comes from two sources: the game is pretty hard (in the second level anyway) since it's not your average tower game, seeing as you have to constantly move your "turrets" around for maximum efficiency. Also, the later enemies take your life meter down almost completely so it's easy to die. However, this game is not impossible, and in the second level, spider mines and nukes help alot. The second source of frustration, and this one is inexcusable, is that at times when I'm frantically trying to move around my goliaths/rail tank, I'll get the "units are too close" error <even though> I've placed the exact same unit in the exact same spot before. This is bad position-detection on the part of the game, and that is one of the few marring features of this game.
