Reviews for "Arachnid Wars"

Pretty good game but...

Good graphics, concept, sound and music. There is a major problem though, in that games can take forever. I quit a skirmish after 150+ turns. It seems to be impossible to win any single game in anything less than 200, 250 turns, judging by how much enemy base health was left. It just gets tedious after the 100th turn when you're clearly in the lead, annihalating scorpions, but they just respawn fast enough to keep your spiders busy and away from their base. Quite frustrating.

Missions take to long

this is a very good game but the levels take to long and the unit creation is also to long.

well...

hmm lets see, we got defult score of 10. Well you used Fallout game theme, some sounds from Starcraft, wouldnt hurt you to give them some credit.
as for the rest

gameplay
slow paced, which isnt a bad thing really - as long as you can make player busy with other things rather thern making him just watch the screen like TV and clicking end turn->acceleration->spawn creatures->end turn->acceleration->spawn creatures. its quite repetetive and gameplay suffers from this greatly. and as above THIS wouldnt be a major flaw also in a Real Time Strategy where you are short on time, but this is a turn based game. make the player to be able to do something more then mindless clicking. like, i dont know, add some exploration feature, maybe badges or challanges. just make us busy meantime.

Graphics
they arent great, but they are preety descent, sometimes its hard to tell what is where because of the terrain/creatures color collision, also sometimes its hard to tell is a creature is alive O.o i had a time when i was prepared that my spiders will met the oponets and i discovered them to be dead lol

sounds/music
ekhem - fallout ^^ i loved that game and so the music but... yea. you know the gameplay is really slow-paced and this rather sleepy music isnt helping, you can literaly fall asleep after 10 minutes. aside from that - no major flaws

GUI
well, its okey i gues, but i would like the cancel/exit buttons to be in one same place in all windows so i can click them fast. when playing i offten had a problem to find wheres that damn exit button.

aside from all above - its a good game. i would give you 6/10 but it'll be 7/10 as its visible you put some effort inside. as for 5 stars rating i am forced to give it a 3/5. its okey, but after some missions its not like i will be coming back for more.

Hmmmmm

I did enjoy this game, but each mission took quite a while. Maybe I was playing it wrong, but what I did was hang back in defense till I though I had a strong enough spider army to take down the enemy base. So I had to wait for the enemies to come to me so I could get enough points for new spiders, and enough points to spawn those spiders. I didn't manage to play it all the way through, because if I did i'd be here for ages :D Overall this game was good fun, but it's abit too slow paced for me.

you are really good..!!!

dz2001 you are always very very good... your games are great and polished..
take this compliments from another dev like me :)

10!
