Not bad, but not good. A few glitches too..

Very nice game! You got a 10 from me on graphics just because I love 2D games...Anyway, Ive got some crits:

1. The music could do with some switching up.
2. Though there are alot of items and units you can use to affect the outcome of combat, the game is basically just click, move, stab, repeat. You cant really spring ambushes or anything either.
3. The orcs all have close combat weapons! I think it would be cool to have some orc archers or other orc units besides just orcs and the ogre dude.
4. The sorcerer is overpowered. Being able to sit back and fireball the crap out of the enemy isnt exactly fun. I would suggest giving him a different power. And why cant he fight in close combat?
5. You cant get past the first screen on Quest 4. At least I cant. The soldiers bounce back when they get to the right side of the screen.
6. Any chance we will see human archers in the future?
7. I was also thinking you could use a leader unit. Like a king or a noble or something like that. In most RTS games, youve got a character to lead your forces. The only thing currently close to that is the sorcerer.
8. Finally, artillery support! Why not have the option called "Catapult Fire" that you could buy for like $500? You could use it once per quest, and a bunch of stones from catapults being fired off screen would be launched into your enemy.

Anyway, besides those things, I really like the game, and I can tell you put alot of work in to it. Great job ;)

Thanks for taking the time to review my game.

I'm sorry for the glitches, but I kinda rushed it in the end, and I didn't have much time for beta-testing. I actually never encountered the quest 4 bug.

As for your suggestions, thanks for them. I'm working on a sequel right now, which will feature more units, and the player will get to create and control a hero. There will be more units for the orcs aswell, and you'll have to build structures to hire troops.

Good overall

It's a great game overall but can be just too easy once you get the mage. Once you get the fireball you can just sit back and blast at the enemies... if you fixed that somehow then i'd be a exelent game.

addictive

This is a very addictive game. Me being an rpg gamer i liked it. Infact i spent about an hour or more playing it. The best thing to do is buy the healing spell and buy all the royal guards. Then upgrade all your skills( Defence and Attack). But ya good job on making this game

Good game, but easy to be cheap

If you're patient enough, you could just get through most of the game by spamming fireball spells at the enemies, because they don't have the AI to come after you until you come within sight range with your regular troops. It's alot more fun to attack normally, buy upgrades, and use your inventory though, so if you're not cheap then this is a pretty fun game to play.

Nice original feel!

This game is pretty good overall. It has a lot of interactivity and is pretty fun once you learn to use everything. If a pregame tutorial was made for the game it would help a lot but keep up the good work it's a pretty decient game
