Reviews for "Ice And Fire Tower Defence"
This game has some charm, but I feel like it falls hard on some flaws that thug of wars games tend to have. In other words, at some points, or especially the end game, the game is a real slugfest, because you have so much money but can't do much other than send more troops and stockpile a large amount of cash you won't be able to spend. Units don't feel very diversified, and there's no reason to use the previous one once you unlocked the later ones. There's also no way to strategize much with how straightforward the game is. Straightforward battlefield, straightforward upgrades, straightforward choice of turrets, and straightforward unit behavior.
In any case, it still looks pretty neat.

Thank you for the review! I understand your reasoning. From my perspective, I tried to make the game a little more beginner friendly, as when I was very young I found TD games intimidating and didn't want to play them because of that, so I guess that's why some things seem a bit "straight forward" kinda. However I do think there is some strategy to late game! Besides myself, when I watched others play some people took something like 15 minutes at the last phase, while some others took like max 5, just depending on how they decided to spawn their units, in what order, with specific spacing, etc..
can't believe how bad the interactions between sprites and projectiles feel. feels like something from early 90's flash but not in a good way.
Tower defense themed flash. Graphics are decent enough to tell everything apart. Gameplay is very challenging in a mechanical sense. Your troops are not strong enough, the enemy always seems to be stronger, and you have so much money that you can't use. You should make your troops stronger overall and have major upgrades.
The medals work, and I earned them all.

Thanks for checking it out! As I mentioned though, the teams are different in this case as I didn't want to stick to traditional TD and make something a bit different; fire team has better offense/speed but worse health, while ice team has better defence and health but less speed. So the strategy kind of changes based on what team you play :)
If you want the actual stats though to compare, there's a wiki article linked in the description with stat tables as well
Too difficult and bad mechanics, sorry, but it's the truth
