Reviews for Villainous - Tower Attack

[Canjul]

Tower attack?

I saw some potential here, and the game is alright (for example, i love the castle upgrade system) but the game just has flaws. It does get very boring very quickly, but the main problem is the sieging itself.

The whole point of the game is to make you the Villain, in case you're bored being the heroes or defending places you get to be the Villainous attacker, hence the name. But I don't feel like i'm attacking, I don't feel like i'm destroying the place. Every time I play I have to send out my aura unit's and defend the raider, so in a way, it's actually a defense game....ironic?

Point is, when i send out my little organised line, ignore the towers and just get my goblin to the town at which point he makes some points appear doesn't feel like i'm actually attacking. I'm going through all the trouble of organising my raid (7 people) only for the lowest pay-off ever.

Now, I don't like comparing games because i support creativity and I don't want to come off as saying "MAKE YOUR GAMES MORE LIKE THIS" but if i were to pick out...Mastermind World Conqueror, and play a bit of that, it would actually feel like i was doing something, like I was an actual Villain. The whole villainous destruction has been taken apart since all i can do is watch my tiny patrol project bubbles so i can reach the town where i will then teleport to the start after not leaving so much as a dent in the visuals.

TL;DR: Not very immersive, boring and repetitive.

error alert

this game has many sublevel bugs that mess up your connection itself. occasionally exiting out of the game, kinda annoying

interesting...

Nice idea there, I was getting tired of classic TD. They are all the same after all. I don't know what's the big problem, as to why some people can't play. Maybe it's their flash that needs to be updated, or they got sucky computers? :P

But the game itself is somehow disappointing. With the description, it's like I was going to kill everyone and burn cities to the ground while laughing like A DEMON! but not.

The game just makes you plunders ''infamy'' which is like reputation, illustrated as gold pieces? Also, the fact that you can siege the same town over and over again get boring, and removes the need to advance in the game. There should be destroyed towns, once you've finished slaying everyone with your nice little demonic army.

And, as Ocere said, the castle was nice, but there's something missing to it. Don't really know what, it just fell like this. Also, it looks like an abandonned thing, but aren't we supposed to be a powerfull dark mage? Such strong being cannot possibly live inside such rickety walls :( And at last, why not making the castle grow for each point spent in the army size instead of... what it is actually? -><-

Graphics and effects are good, and the interface is an ''okai''. I would have liked something greater for the map, because this copies Gemcraft (which is a TD game, in case you don't know about it)

The game's score is 6 out of ten. It does not deserve more, since it lost me after ten minutes, and looks like an unfinised game, but it has much higher potential! work on it a little more, and we will see if it's worth a ten stars.
