It wasn't really challenging. 10 waves is just too much. It got boring on the 1st stage after 3rd wave.
I finished 2nd stage, started 3rd and saw there was nothing new, just another unit. It could be better.The game is there, but the unit management looks like it was still a prototype.
Reviews for "Mars Commando"
Nice art work. Great music. Game gets a little boring and repetative. It would have been better to include a more detailed upgrading system. I think it was just the right level of difficulty... but it didn't give enough variety / choices and got boring.
Also, it was a little buggy how if you wanted to go back and retry a level after completing it, sometimes you wouldn't have enough money to "redeploy" a troop on the first stage.
Fun little 8 bit romp. Difficulty sadly, is probably just a little too high. If you were aiming for hardcore gamers, fine - but right now I couldn't bring myself to try and go past Stage 2.
I had three of those red explosive monsters come up to my barricades in a line, and BAM - four soldiers down and all barricades blown to pieces. I truly felt like there was NOTHING I could have done, or feel inclined to do, to attempt another set of waves just to get nuked.
If I could retry a wave instead starting from the beginning all over, I could possibly try to best a wave again, but right now, I feel the game is unbalanced.
The droid is a nice idea to have some first hand control inside a defence style game, but the offensive capabilities, even when set to the offensive droid setting felt weak and unhelpful.
Everything else is great! Love the soundtrack, animations are simple but do what's needed for this style of game. Tweak the difficulty or offer more upgrades to balance the game-play and it's a winner. Right now, I won't be coming back to play again, but only because of the game play balance.
Well, i got wiped out on wave 9 of level 1. maybe i just suck, but with only 4 units there was only so much ground you could cover, and the big guys needed all 4 attacking them for any chance to kill them before they broke your barriers.
I got through the first two days and I was bored. Took too long to get exciting, if it ever did. Day 2 was more than enough for me to move onto the next game.
