Eternal Elements

In this challenging strategic tower defense game: towers are elements and enemies are materials.

This game has 3 core concepts that influence every aspect of the game.

  • Challenge: Each tower has strengths and weaknesses, so do the enemies. It will take cunning strategy to figure out the best way to beat each map. The game offers multiple difficulty modifiers and custom challenges so you can challenge yourself as you see fit. The greater the challenge the better the reward.

  • Discovery: Think about new strategies, discover new ways to play, and be surprised by what you unlock. With over 100 unlockables, multiple tower/enemy interactions, and a plethora of customizable gameplay options, there is no shortage of new things to try and strategies to discover. Let your imagination run wild thinking about unique challenges you could face and fun ways to beat them.

  • Progression: The game works by a simple formula, time spent = progress made. You can increase the speed at which you gain progress through the strategies you employ. But every enemy you defeat grants experience points regardless of if you win or lose. You will constantly gain more power to eventually beat every challenge you face.

Guardians of Greenheart

Guardians of Greenheart

I am appreciated for the high-difficult enemy that required careful planning to ensure victory with minimum cost. The art is beautiful and the story is straight to the point.

However, over the first hour of my playtime, the grinding has became too much. In the very first battle, you will be pitch against a big bad enemy that can one-shot (in which it did) your character should you had not debuff them. Beating that big bad was hard, but that okay, no problems.

However, when that very same kind of big bad which would reappeared in the next dozens of battles, the game became too much monotone and boring, for by the 3rd battle, you have already mastered what combo should you use.

The Last Defense

The Last Defense

ThugGames' goal is to build a series of games that explain one major story.

All of the games are from various genres.

We’re starting with The Last Defense to introduce our players to the universe’s story.

A continent driven by mythic powers. All nations have different abilities.

Only the kingdom of Murgaz is standing (Kingdom of Men / Middle Kingdom). All surviving mages join the forces, under the command of King Severin. YOU are playing from the eyes of King Severin and control your own defense by:

  • Build your own Defense!

  • Cast special abilities for every mage, based on their power. (Fire Mage example)

  • Replayable game with different experience every time you play.

  • Gameplay for hours.

  • Follow a story with every chapter.

The Last King’s Archer

The Last King’s Archer

At first I thought it would be annoying to just kill endless waves of enemies, but the use of powers and the increasingly insane different waves of enemies trapped me somehow. I believe that in some update it will be translated into other languages. I missed more items to be able to buy with the diamonds, after all, they are the great reward of the game. At the same time, the inventory is pretty cool. It would also be nice to have new scenarios instead of just changing the background colors in future updates. A good game to spend time killing hordes of enemies, but it’s a very short game, but it’s worth it.

Addictive, absolutely replay-able. The game features beautifully detailing pixel artwork, a tasty little variety of threats/monsters, each with different stats, a bonus of two spells on top of the traditional attack which adds a nice variety, and can prove necessary in its frustratingly challenging and incredibly fun gameplay. It has more than just the base game, but three additional trials/waves, which I definitely love. The game’s simple and well-fleshed-out mechanics are so much fun that just one mode isn’t enough to satisfy how much I want to keep playing the game, having the alternative wave modes available gives more room to stretch out and really play with this design of gaming experience. Also, there are upgrades, and they make an incredible difference; which is also very desirable as it’s incredibly easy to get bogged down under the waves with only the base stats. I really have nothing but good things to say about this game, and it’s only $0.99 at full price, which is unbelievable for a game this well designed. I absolutely loved playing The Last King’s Archer and would recommend it to anyone with a fondness for minigames, arcade games, flash games or sidescrollers. It’s just… it’s brilliant, addictive and incredibly fun.

Majesty 2

Majesty 2

Ive owned this game 6 years, and having just finished another play-through i thought it time to write a review :p

I return to this game often. it is one of the best RTS ever imo. The twist of only being able to indirectly influence your “units” (via a flag system of rewards that you have to pay for) makes it refreshing and stand out from the pack. Replayability is immense due to the randomise set-up option. Your units are heros (individual archers, warriors, mages, healers etc) that level and gear up as you progress through any given mission. You can also carry over up to 3 of them to subsequent missions. Once you research the prerequisite you can organise them into parties of up to 4 individuals (i use classic tank/healer/2xdps). The game looks beautiful, plays smooth and bug-free, and never fails to satisfy. The voice acting is extemely well acted and the lines well-written and amusing.

This game is quite simply an insult to fans who loved the original majesty (including me), i loved majesty 1 when my parents got it in the Winter of 2003 (oh so many years ago), it was one of those games that was one of the memories of my childhood. But enough of that, lets get to why this game is atrocious compared to the original Majesty.

Paradoks decided apprantly that instead of developing this game themselves, they outsourced it to 1C, a company in Moscow that i guess have no idea what made the original so good. So what did 1C, (and Paradoks) screw up that made this game inferior to Majesty 1? the list is too long, but i will list the 3 biggest problems with majesty 2 with a paragraph for the first two problems, and a short summary for the third.

Dead In Time

Dead In Time

Is a hardcore action with a non-trivial level generation system. Each enemy that you meet on your way, is deadly and unique in its own way. Control time, use a large arsenal of weapons and uncover the secret of time.

I always did not like the idea that after the death the player should start all over again. In Dead in time after the death of the hero, you find yourself in the next generated world, where new enemies and traps await you.

Each enemy in Dead in time is unique and deadly in its own way. Due to this gaming experience in each of the worlds will be different.

All the mechanics of leveling in the Dead in time is realized through the items that the hero finds on his way. Each item has its unique skill and has the ability to raise its level. All items above the first level will remain with you after the hero’s death, but will lose one level.

Control time to create “arches” to attack in combat. Also, you can slow down all enemy objects and accelerate yourself, thereby gaining an advantage in combat.

  • Random generation of environment, items and enemies.

  • After the hero’s death, you get to the next randomly generated world, and do not start all over again.

  • More than 150 different rooms.

  • Each world is different for its unique gameplay and enemies.

  • Control time to gain advantage in combat.

  • Become stronger using items and weapons with unique skills.

  • Over 85 different enemies.

  • Participate in optional events to obtain rare items.

It’s so good I picked it up and played it for 6 hours right after I bought it

I have some minor complaints, like for example the camera is too zoomed in and jerks around when you change directions, the monochrome pixel art sometimes makes it hard to see certain hazards, and it takes longer than it should to respawn considering how much you will die.

These minor complaints are utterly dwarfed by the smooth controls, stylish pixel art, and challenging levels, each of which have several collectibles to add extra challenge and replay value. This is easily among my favorite precision platformers along with Celeste, Rite, and N++.

I haven’t finished this one yet, due to my lack of motivation, but its still a pretty good goi like. It’s basicly a platformer control, but with a weird momentum that you have to keep to make some jump. Jump height also matter. If you bonk you get pushed a bit around and can fall but it feel random unfortunatly

The map design doesn’t seems to be punishing, there’s different screen change and i don’t think you can fall 2 screen in a row, although i only reached the third one so maybe it’s more punishing in the future.
