Insanely addictive. It would be a great mobile game, since there is no need for a keyboard or controller.
Reviews for "Frozen Islands"
'Although I usually don't like games of this kind' - brilliant game! A lot of ideas went into this and there are numerous different strategies possible, like you can focus on upgrading only a certain kind of troop but then you will have to live without the special attacks of the other troops. Then there is always the question for the best moment to deploy the right special attack at the right time. Brilliant how the strength of the troop based special attacks relies on the number of surviving troops, how you get an additional bonus for some troops but for others you don't. Then I liked how you could give be boss fight a go whenever you like without having to grind through the whole game. Thanks for this submission!
Game is great, but it's getting a 3 star rating for the way it currently is.
Would definitely be higher if some small things were fixed such as one issue i had with this game which is..
I don't like that you have only 1 button to press to collect taxes. So if one island is unhappy, i can't really collect taxes on my other Islands until that Island is once again happy. These are islands, so the taxes themselves should be individual.
Other than that, gameplay is fun.
The game is cool and fun, but I got some ideas which I think would improve the game:
- Islands give more money (and battle less). This makes upgrading your islands to collect more gold viable. Instead of spending hundreds on islands to get almost no money more and little exp, I just expended my money on my troops. At the end of the game, half the islands were still level 1. Also, as Wolfus06 said, there's no reason for each get angry in different quantities per tax collect.
- Showing what will be the new stats after you upgrade makes you think better about what you want. Also, don't forget to make a link to the tutorial in options menu and description of each character/"spell" available.
- As others said, last boss was way too easy. While you need almost everything maxed to pass the island before him, making him fight in stages would make you need to think better about your skills instead of spam everything at the start then wait for him to die.
- If you intend on doing a sequel, I'd love to see cheaper, but individual upgrades for each troop (health, attack, cool down), making you able to better choose your play style (making everyone balanced or buffing each character's specialty). Upgrades for the skills would also be awesome (but instead of gold, maybe using medals earned in every stage, avoiding "all skills maxed" spam)
- After everything is maxed, a good way to check your skill would be an "infinite mode" (or some challenge mode, with a giant number of waves)
It was pretty good. But it had 2 problems i really hate from the game.
1-. Didnt find a reason for the diferent islands getting angry and diferent cuantities cause the collecting of gold. with just a synchronize it would have been good enough, not that i cant recollect more from other islands, cause 1 of all of them is at the limit.....
2-. the boss was to DAMN EASY, after all the problems i had to reach it, the boss was the easiest thing in the world. you dont even need to use a strategy, you could group a single type of unit, and that would be more than enough.
