FA5 > all other before
absolute great game.! i´ve played all other FA games before. but this one is the best ! great grafics, sounds and atmosphere !
the only bad thing is the performance... even when i play on low details, the mouse is lagging a lot. maybe try to tweak there a bit .... i don´t give often 5 points to a game ... but this one would be 6 points worth !!
greetings
rof
thank you
I'm really sorry that the game lags even on fast machines... I cant fix it, flash lags simply due to the quantity of bitmaps on screen, it would work a lot faster if everything was drwawn in flash.
The only thhing I can suggest is downloading the game and playing it in standalone flash player. I played that way on HIGH quality and it was ok, I have p4 3Ghz, ram and videocard probably doesn't matter...
Good, but could have been better.
Hi, Im a big fan of the Starcraft Universe, and im really glad to see this type of games. One can look the effort that you put to do this game thats why i gave it a 9.
Now, at the beginning its a lil' bit confusing, but by the 3rd level I was doing very good (after some trial and error of course, and repeating a couple of times each level). But in higher levels of the game (say from 8th and up) it gets frustrating, and sometimes it looks like you didn't tested at all the game.
The main reasons are the energy bar, (which grows really slow even with a lvl4 skillpoint, and depletes very fast), and the powers, (when differente types of units start to attack you, you have to go into an insane clicking madness to select the correct power and aply it)
However, I enjoyed playing this game, and i managed to get to the 16 level, where i got stuck because its impossible to kill every unit that appears (marines, special marines, wraiths, siege tanks, and that freakin' exploding tank).
I hope you fix this minor problems that I mentioned, cause I think that if you do that this can be one of the best flash games around the net.
All this whining about difficulty sounds kinda silly... more exp, more energy... why, how about som challenge?
(I'm talking not only about you but about all the whining reviews here) LOL MAYBE YOU WANT ME TO MAKE INVINCIBILITY BUTTON OR INSTANTWIN BUTTON?
I've spend several months testing the game and working on the balance (and by that I dont mean I was playing it MYSELF only, my friends helped).
All your problems come from not reading hints after each wave and not thinking... spore colonies will shot down the wraiths if you use true sight on them and marines are a valuable resource - capture them, transform into INFESTED TERRAN and use against enemy tanks.
You are supposed to think out the strategy in this game, not just mindlessly buil defences and watch enemies die as in other defence games.
The only thing that is impossible in this game is winning the 27th wave with The Spire instead of elder brain, but you are supposed to have enough cash to replace it by that time anywhay =3
Great Work!
Ey it was abit hard but what u should do is make a easy mode and a hard mode. but like i said great game.
WAY too hard!
It was pretty difficult in the beginning, had to restart PLENTY of times. Then I got the hang of it and got up to wave (17?), somewhere around there, at least above 15 (it was the Battlecruiser mission). I had the Defiler in the right spot (second from bottom), Queen's nest, upgraded Overmind, and 3 Spores. When the BC finally came, my defiler attacked it and I had my Discharge on that thing until my MP ran out and it still attacked. All the enemies were attacking my base as my defense was down (including Queen) and the BC kept attacking. It's as if that level's impossible or something. It's also VERY hard to level up the Overmind due to gaining experience only from powers and not the defense. I never got the chance to be able to create a Zerg Mound =[. Also, nothing can kill the units that're attacking (close range) except for my powers, which runs out fast and is needed for other units also. Perhaps a defense that can attack close range (sunkens didn't help)? Have you even played the game?
Suggestions:
Easier
Shortcut keys (very hard without them having to click everywhere)
Possibly less lag/smoother gameplay?
More fair for us
Faster MP regeneration
EVERYTHING raise up Overmind EXP (including defense, not just powers)
Close range defense (Sunken Colonies didn't get the units attacking)
That's about all I can think of at the moment, but there are others. This game is fun and addictive, but the unfairness and everything negative stated ruin it. Hope you take my suggestions into consideration. Well yeah, sorry about the long submission =]
I liked it
I liked it but I couldn't get to lvl2 in time bcuz i dond't knew how
