Reviews for "Wrath of Evil"
Great potential, but lacks the charm
I may have said in another review, but for me a game's atmosphere can give me contradictory feelings. They can be an amazing experience in and of itself. They can leave me wanting to play the game... and be completely disappointed after a playthrough. And wouldn't you know it, Wrath of Evil is such a game.
I really wanted to like this game. The intro had me all built up with its intriguingly dark artwork and the main menu had enough of a Elder Scrolls flair in its soundtrack's subtlety. I *wanted* this to be a great game. You control four archers who defend the gates of hell from anyone who wants to open it, and like other games of its kind you can upgrade in between each waves.
But the gameplay isn't as immersive as expected. The first levels basically pave way for the entirety of the game -- you control all four archers at once and can upgrade them a little bit, maybe. Sure, there is some material can complicate it later in the game -- I won't lie that the final levels are frustratingly hard, almost to the point where many could rage-quit. But if you've played any Epic War game, one could argue that this is merely a watered-down attempt to take that series and flip it on its heel.
Which a little disappointing to say the least! Wrath of Evil seemed like it'd be a great game! But aside from issues in balance and a severe difficulty curve (warning: note for those who quit easily), it just feels like there was something missing overall. A certain natural hellish charm. Everything appears calculated, like it's trying too hard.
Maybe, as usual, it's just me. Others seem to really dig this game, and I can see why. Certainly I'd recommend it to others. *Casually.* In passing. Like, "Meh, if you like these games, try this." I wouldn't play this again if the gates of Hell demanded it, though. Hell's not enough for me.
cheater!

GameTwoThree responds:
Azazel is a generaly known demon in demonology and religious circles, nothing was stolen.
Google it and you will see.

Fun, but...
It's WAY too hard in multiple instances. The birds are simply over kill and they're really hard to hit. The nuns are a good concept, but they stack up so fast that it's virtually impossible to kill any of them including the attackers coming at you and the birds coming at you. Also, the mouse is bugged up. I've tried it on multiple computers thinking that it might just be a certain mouse, but it has happened on all computers I've played it on. The mouse will just suddenly stop moving and won't respond to anything as if it has to catch up with what I'm trying to do.
Otherwise, it's really a good game. The upgrade system is well done, it's challenging (if not slightly impossible) and it isn't boring.
Is the Lvl 60 boss beatable?
5 points for the fun and -5 for the unreasonable difficulty.
