Reviews for "Army of War"

On the one hand this seems to be just another front of thegames8 / awesomegames8 / dinorunstudio. On the other hand this is the first time they actually improved one of their games. I'm kind of torn on what to do, but I think I will just give an honest review.

The game is not really BAD per se. It works far better than previous iterations. Still, considering this is your fourth?fifth? try, it could be far better. There is still one giant imbalance: The grenade, bomb and missile strike are far too powerful. Nearly every level can be won nigh instantly by hitting the enemy bases before the enemy can act. The graphics are as nice as they are in all your games so that's a clear plus. All in all I would say:

2 star: Old and reused game idea
graphics: +1 star
game-breaking imbalance: -3 stars
You actually improved the game: +2 stars (this time)
Together: 2 stars.

I will note that this a huge improvement from the Minus 3 stars I wanted to give your previous games.

Ideas for improvement:
Differentiate between the missile and bomb strike. For example you could have the grenade only affect units and be used several times. The bomb strike might be changed to effect a huge area for little damage. This way players can only destroy one enemy building at the beginning, making the game less broken.

You should definitely include key-bindings for missile, bomb and grenade.

There should be a button to turn off the music and stuff like that.

I've played plenty of games like this earlier, but this one was a bit more elaborate than most, the way you both train upgrade and build to conquer bases instead of just dragging and dropping your soldiers. It was fun, but at the same time it feels progress is slow. You don't get a high count of soldiers very fast, and when you train/Upgrade there's really no feedback that you've improved, everything looks the same. Gameplay is good though, keep it going!

-cd-

got to level 21 and it say's you lose. I can restart the level but is auto pop's up you lose. i click next and it takes me back to the buy menu. then when i click start the you lose pops up again

Did not like the game, sorry.

The fact that your own units open fire on units with construction orders, and that miners will always be in range to do this, makes buildup nearly impossible. BIG BUG!
