Reviews for "DotVille deluxe"
Just like any other economics game
I have played many versions of something quite like this, such as Age of Castles. However, unlike all those other economics games, this was probably more straight-foward than those other ones.
What I would have liked to see was a positive random event instead of "You lose dots", "Your dots become unhappy", etc. Also, there's an oversight in your programming. When I had 2000 soldiers and I decided to get rid of 1000, the entire army on the village screen disappeared!
All in all, it's decent and playable.
Nice, but diffecult
It was a good game, but kinda hard to beat. Getting happiness of 400 and a level 10 fortress is incredibly hard. I was able to get the level 10 fortress by building a lot of marketplaces, but ended up with 100 happy which was far from enough. And so I lost the game cause I wasn´t an emperor.
When I was aiming on happiness and bought symbols and stuff like that, I didn´t had enough money for the castle upgrades. The more money I tried to get, the more expensive those symbols became (over 80.000 bucks at one point), and the upgrades just didn´t gave enough. And also, all those protesting thingies suddenly did -37 or something. So I lost the game again. It seemed to me that whatever you are aiming for, it was always at the cost of something else.
And food is the most diffecult thing in my opinion, since it is very random how much food you get every round. When I bought a lot of farms, the population seemed to rise even quicker, so it didn´t helped that much and I only got in trouble with the happiness factor.
So I really have no idea, what the best strategy is to win this game if it is even possible to win it. The only thing I did not have trouble with was with the army size, cause I just sold everything I had in the last round and bought weapons and soldiers in return. But I really wouldn´t mind if you made it a little bit easier, by giving us some more rounds or something. The rest of the game was pretty good, nice graphics and stuff and a nice idea, but the diffeculity was just annoying and it´s a bit dissapointing if you lose the game over and over again.
Overall 7 out of 10, 3 out of 5. Well I still liked the game though, and even if it is a little dissapointing losing the game all the time, I still keep trying so I guess it´s quite addicting. I hope you can make it a bit easier, keep up the good work and good luck with your next flashes.
Game is great.
This game is great. The interaction in this game is great. I think there should be a SquareVille so we get to play from both the dots and the squares
