Reviews for "The Great Siege"
Good game
The game was great !
But i didnt know that footmens coud dig a trap :O and the tank could transform :S
But that was my bad i gues..
The thing you can change is the archers.. They were useless.. And you should make a hero!! Thay way it would be fantastic
Good, but awkward
This is a good defense game, however I felt that the controls for the catapult were a bit awkward, due to using the up and down arrows to control horizontal movement of the aim.
HATED IT
This game kinda sucked, + thoese pop ups in the wars were soo anooying
Fantastic Game, very well balanced.
Foot Men aren't expensive, so work well as cannon fodder.
(Although I dislike sending men just to die...)
But their ability to dig traps and upgrade to soldiers really makes em more than just cheap cannon fodder.
In the other end of the spectrum, the Knight is always awesome to unleash and have him plow through all the enemy.
Hes practically unstoppable and is definitely worth his cost.
So its a good thing players can only have one knight, else they'd just be plowing down enemies non-stop and en mass.
Then everything in between is also priced just right and all have their usefulness. EXCEPT the Archers, their range is just too short. But theyre still useful, sometimes...
Oh and while Im on combat, its great to be able to participate in the battle as the catapult and not just send and watch men fight and die. So excellent combat.
But now I have to talk about the negatives.
1. There is no way of knowing that surviving troops get converted to bonus points at the end of battles unless oneself opens the strategy guide. (I think it something worth mentioning early in the game)
2. The speed at which troops deploy is quite slow, and its very annoying to wait as long as one has to for the "Holy Spirit" to deploy. IMO, the "holy spirit" should deploy near instantly.
3. The fact that the game ends after the last mission blows. Maybe I want to go on the offensive in the goblin camp, ya know...
And about that, the map should have been accessible, allowing players to replay battles after having beaten the last mission. Or maybe go on the offensive, ya know...
Now that praise and criticism are over. Its suggestion time.
Suggestion #1... Sequel!
Suggestion #2... A survival mode with difficulty settings.
Suggestion #3... Already mentioned it. Access to map and selection of attacker post-last mission.
So there ya go, I give 10s if it doesnt need anything more or less.
But this is a 9 since it has its few little annoyance (deploy time, troop conversion) and lack of replay value.
