Reviews for "Shadez2: Battle for Earth"
nice
i dont care what you guys say this game is awsome
umm
ive got a question why in the **** did you chose mochigames one of the only places that actually have to pay to enjoy a flash game this would have been awesome but mochi just completely ruined it
0.5-assed
CPU opponent has infinite resources instead of simulated economy (harvesting, power plants, etc). Looking forward to installment #3.
Ugh, half the game is gone unless you pay!
It's been taken over by the lord of all faggotry, Mochi Games. Sorry, but I come to Newgrounds to listen and play for FREE, not get tempted over and over by some gay ads in a game to pay for their frivolous features and sparkly new stuff.
In order to attain any decent amount of experience points, I have to "upgrade" to expert mode, which costs coins, via spending real money. The first thing I did was dump my exp points into ore collectors and power plants, thinking they'd speed around and give me more money than I can spend, while having just one power plant instead a field of them since I upgraded. WRONG. The experience levels practically did nothing significant.
Hey, it does remind me of Command and Conquer. It was that game that got me into computer games in the first place. But, alas, the times have changed in the last 15 years. Now you get a good game that's riddled with "pay extra for MOAR features!" and it does nothing but piss people off.
Okay. Time for the rest of my review...
The tutorial is sorely lacking. You jump into the second level, realizing that you have to build an ore collector in order to build a barracks. Doesn't make much sense. It kept telling me to build silos and there are none to build. Then, on the (third?) next level, you have to save civilians. It doesn't tell you at all how to load/unload the Chinook helicopters. For those wondering, you have to select them, order them to the ground, and then you can load units onto them.
It doesn't say how far you can build outward. Just keep building until you aren't allowed, I guess?
I have no idea how experience effects the level of what I'm leveling up. As I've already said, I've leveled up the ore collector and power plant and found no significant increase in anything. Not only that, but just from the guesswork of ALL those things you can increase, I can be right as rain that you won't get nearly as many experience points as you want. Since I can't do skirmishes (...), I get even less experience points overall. Even then, I can't do covert ops missions either... like wtf? This is worse than a demo.
I had trouble deselecting units. The best workaround I found was selecting the HQ building or drag-clicking.
Some units stood there dumbfounded when I ordered them to attack a unit who's over a hill. For them, they're in range - but they can't shoot, so they just stand there. Very frustrating.
Some units would literally fall down the hill when they began combat. Light tanks would act as if humanity never invented brakes.
Some units don't attack air units, which makes it frustrating and stupid. Marines have guns - tanks should have guns. Yet, only the rocket dudes can fire at them? And they move far too slow. Come on. Then there are times when my army just stands there and dies without engaging anyone.
I can't see the enemy health. No idea what kind of damage I'm doing to them.
Look, I can't say this enough. I can't do any skirmishes. I don't have access to some units. I can't even do some campaign levels. I can't get enough experience points. You know what? That's like half the fucking goddamn penis-wrinkling game. The voice, music, sound, and graphics are all great, but it doesn't make a good game the way this was set up.
The mechanics are all screwy. The game becomes part strategy, part gold mining, part what-the-fuck-is-my-army-doing, and part why-isn't-my-army-fighting-back.
This game showed a lot of promise... too bad...
