I must put some critic here, the goal is to capture the blue territory, but some description regarding controls would be very useful. While the opponent has already his men on the board, my ones are outside and how am I supposed to place them? Click them? Tried for no result. Use the keyboard? Drag & drop them? I keep just watching the blues expanding and cannot place anything on the board.
Reviews for "Electric War"
DBuck-Eye responds:
You can only place your guys in red territory, and you do that by clicking where in the red territory you want a guy to be placed. If you tried that and it didn't work, there might be a bug, and if you can send me a PM with more information, that would be great!
This game is pure randomness that tries to be a strategy game. It actually looks like a strategy game at first since controlling more area gives you more units faster but in reality the benefit you get from placing your soldiers to strategic locations is neglible. The only thing that really determines if you beat the computer or not is how often the random number generator allows you to kill an enemy soldier rather than getting killed yourself. If in any balanced situation one side scores multiple kills in a row and opponent is not lucky enough to respond in kind quicky enough then the first one soon controls most of the battlefield and has a massive lead in unit production. This is how nearly every game comes to end. With a lucky kill treak.
I tested how much I could affect the outcome by playing 20 games so that I always placed the troops in same square(or close to it if it was captured) and 20 games by placing them to locations where they had good a chance to capture some blue territory. The one square strategy scored 2 more victories than the strategic one showing clearly that player's choices matter very little.
On top of all the "Electric King"-medal does not work(I reached the requirement twice). I see that one person has it so perhaps unlocking some other medal prevents it from being obtained?
DBuck-Eye responds:
This review is about 2.5 more paragraphs of detailed explanation than this game deserves, so thanks for summarizing! I have come to pretty much agree with this, I think the game needs a bit of a shift away from the "random" side and more to the "my strategy makes a damn difference" side. I'll take a look at the medal not working issue, because you deserve better than that.
What's the point of this game? Why does it play itself? Controls?
DBuck-Eye responds:
What is the point of any game? You probably won't win if you let it play itself. Control it by clicking :)
I do not get this game
Like something is not right here.
Soooooo i figured out that this is kinda like Chess. Except you have ABSOLUTELY no idea which pieces can move which way or which pieces can take which other pieces.
PLAY ON THE TOILET IS CORRECT, CAUSE THAT WAY IT'S EASIER TO FLUSH THIS DAMN CRAP!
