[Invasion 2]

Slightly better

The game is still far too easy. Massed archers don't work, but now massed Infantry does. Also, rams are underpowered for their cost. At the moment, my suggestion for making the game more difficult is to retain troops that were deployed and survived, and drastically reduce the amount of gold gained per level. This forces people to minimize casualties.

I think that at higher levels, you should add other obstacles that need to be brought down, not just the castle walls. Forward outposts and such, maybe.

You should do some more playtesting yourself before the next version. The mass infantry thing was obvious from the start.

I guess I could make some towers on the map with individual defenses.

[Invasion (Version 1.0)]

Mediocre at best

1. It's FAR too easy. Every level can be beaten by sending a continuous stream of archers, and once you've upgraded enough times, it's impossible to send all of them before the castle dies.

2. Infantry are worthless. Archers can only be picked off one at a time, and with less than 100% accuracy. Infantry have to survive the journey to the wall, first of all, and then get wiped out periodically at the wall, and that can't miss.

Never got to try the other units. After I beat Level 10 in about 15 second, I quit.

Given that the graphics and style aren't enough to compensate for the terrible gameplay, I can't rate this very high at all.

VENGEANCE-GGG responds:

You'll get less money in Version 2, so upgrades won't be so plentiful, and you'll have smaller armies. The upgrades will be weaker, as well.

In Version 2, the murder holes can only take out one person per hit.
