Excellent Game and one of the Best Tower Games
Though challenging and the mouse spell thing is rather weird this is definitely one of the funnest Tower games out there. The only problem i have is the fact that if you catch on quick this game becomes really short.
But really the game overall is good the only bad thing is the whole doing spells with the mouse thing. Its a bit to gimmicky for my taste.
Took a while to get used to the rune system.
I pretty much spammed ice and earth towers through all the maps. Those seem to be the best at level 1.
And then after a few waves each level when I had a solid defense, I would spam the wave button to have the next few waves attack at the same time.
The bomb rune while expensive, can get its souls back when you've got 7+ waves bunched up at the same time. :D
I actually had fun with this tower defense game. So, thank you. The tower defending was a little easy, but the rune system and soul collecting did balance it out a little. Though thankfully, it was able to recognize the earth rune even when I drew a "circle" (not an actual circle, just a rounder form of the rune) which was useful when I needed to get a few earth towers during a 7+ wave storm.
Only had to restart the last few levels once each due to poor choice of tower or location.
And good luck with your future games. Because this was good for a first.
Great... Except...
The difficulty curve is huge (Level 2-3), and when selling it's hard to select the towers at times (Such as the Shadow) when you need to place a new one quickly. Besides those minor issues, it's addicting, but does get old after Level 3.
Interesting
Very good and interesting idea. I really liked it.
Pretty tough castle defense
I loved the spell casting system. Never seen something like that on newgrounds before and it was really fun. Level of difficulty was perfect. "Soulcollecting" got a little tedious after a while, but it was another element that makes this game different than your average defense flash. The maps were well drawn, colorful and interesting. The "towers" or summoned monsters, in this game, looked just plain dumb. The could have been much more cooler and not wooly mamoths casting ice showers. WTF is that anyway?
