Reviews for Castle Guard 2

[bbrake]

Initial fun and high hopes were quickly crushed by this game. The UI sucks: in-game menus show different values for stats than the upgrade screen shows, the upgrade screen "attack vs ___" stats ignore wizards (the most annoying enemy in the game), and the tower menu is an overly-bulky thing that gets in the way of the game.

Also terrible is the AI. For some reason the simple act of moving along the track confuses my guards into chasing after the first guy they see rather than shoot at the swords currently ATTACKING THEM! Besides that, the "catapult" units (they're actually cannons, so what the hell?) don't seem to get that moving forward is important, and will instead stand around shooting at enemies in far-back parts of the track, once again with unfathomable target prioritizing which leaves them getting hit by dudes they seem not to care about.

Balance: cannons are good against everyone, and their cost kinda makes up for that. But why the hell do wizards have so many damn hitpoints? As soon as they show up, groups of cannons have to spend dozens of shots to bring them down, yet again ignoring any weak and easily-killed melee units that may also be causing damage to the cannons or simply running past them to get into my castle.

So yeah, cannon strategies may seem like a good idea, but they're impossible due to shitty AI. The game had a lot of potential to be fun, but had terrible oversights and crappy AI that made the game unplayable.

Ok so I do enjoy these sorts of games. But I have a massive problem with the fact that almost each and every one of the games that you post is like the exact same game. It seems like you would want to make one of these games just REALLY good instead of making a thousand half-assed copies of the exact same thing.

Someone has to be false promoting thegames8 games. None of them are original or any good.

even on easy i find the difficulty to be way too hard. little amount of troops, no replenishment of guards in towers, no possible way the enemy can send out so many troops as fast as it does. the point in making a game hard is by making it mentally challenging, not making it to where the computer cheats all the freakin time. unoriginal, crappy layout, sounds are terrible. cost is too high for every thing, the amount of money you make for each kill aint worth it. cant send troops cause the computer matches me instead of me being able to match it. adding the towers are pointless. they have absolutely no use, other than to waste your gold. no way to set up a defense to where you can actually make enough gold to send out troops to backup the guards and attack wuts being sent at you.
