Reviews for "Mastermind: World Conqueror"
Amazing
This game is addicting, fun, and all around amazing.
Style: Great. Gameplay: Okay
I'm usually not so much of a Fanboy at all, especially when it comes to popular submissions, but this is definitely worth playing an in general greatly done.
Points:
- Grafics were smooth, fitting to each other, the style was great, in generel, very fine.
- Sounds were good in general. Weapon sounds, menu sounds etc were fine. The background music wasn't actually that much of an "earcatcher", but was okay.
- Synchronisation was great, really awesome.
- Humor drawn through the whole game was very nice. Nothing to laugh really hard, but always cheered me. Especially the end was great.
- Gameplay: Well. I thought it was a great Idea in general, left some nice options, but a bit more action would've been great, you know? Most of your playing time is spent in menus which are rather well done, but not very exciting. If you're attacked the only thing you can do is send your troops to either your base or one enemy. You really could've done more regarding that.
I've also been annoyed by the towers. You have fixed points and a limited number. Why can't I put as many as I can afford around my base and where I want? Of course this would take balancing issues after it etc, but well, it would surely be like... more exciting. To see if your base is actually able to hold off enemy forces. Now I ***spoilers*** !!! just went to the moon base and equipped my soldiers with flamethrowers. This made the defence more than just easy. !!! ***end of spoilers***.
Well, short summary:
Your Style is great and one can see that you spend much of your heartblood in details, but you have to get more action somehow, in my opinion. The basic Idea is great, but you just spend too much time in menus.
Anyways, you're a great Artist and you did prove that with this submission (if not before already). I hope to see much more of you in the future.
Great Job
Graphics and Sound are great!
Amazing!
You did a great job here Swain! Everything is so well done, from the many different aspects of the game -mission planning and executing, defense, henchmen, weapons, business blah blah) which are detailed enough to make them interesting and not tedious, to the superuseful tooltips and question mark tutorials... you even added animations for the missions and reunions, with awesome voices!!
Excellent game, congratulations :)!!

I would'a been done a month ago if not for those damned mission cutscenes :( But glad I could impress, friend :D
