Shadez The Black Operations

A game coming from SeanCooper after the huge success after the Boxhead games and wOne2, surely a fighting unit sort of game has to be good. Well, sort of.

From when you enter the game, it feels very professional and as if youre going to be playing a brilliant game. You get into a level, the very well set out menu-bar manages to get your head around what you have to do, you spawn a load of units, you realise how good the graphical style works with this game, you see how good the balancing out it.....and then it really only goes downhill. Think of it like a greyhound race, this one starts out fast then just loses its pace and ends up in 3rd.

By all means, it is a good game. but really starts to get stale after around level 10 or so. The ability to add choppers, different bombs and some unit choppers really doesnt strengthen the gameplay as it rots, slowly boring you into rapidly clicking the unit buttons, not really taking much notice of what is going on. Plus, this game also seems to be hampered by its ease. You get your money back for each unit when they get to the other side of the screen, which doesnt really give the game any strategic sort of edge. If you maybe didnt get the money back, you would have to decide how many to send out, and what types, maybe making it slightly better, but the fact I completed the first difficulty from just mashing the helicopter and tank buttons until I won, ending up with $19,000,000+ money really is quite dumb.

A good game, hampered by its too easy gameplay, repetetive gameplay and....well.....boring gameplay.

Epic War on Kong

If you've been looking for an excellent time waster, look no further, Epic War is a game that will enrapture you with it's fantastic gameplay and beautiful graphics. It may also remind you of Bowmaster Prelude.

The game starts out deceptively simple, you have a giant crossbow, and the ability to create hobbits to send at the enemy base. The enemy can create soldiers as well but cannot shish-kabob your units with giant arrows . Though the game starts out relatively slow for the first few levels it rapidly speeds up with the option to upgrade your crossbow with new arrows and train new units (such as elves, wizards and angels). Be wary though, the enemy can also upgrade its units and send out tank-like trolls and golems, even dragons

The great thing about this game is amount of upgrades you can buy for EXP, which is gained in-game by killing enemy units). You can upgrade arrows, max mana/regeneration/units and more. My only pet peeve in this game is that you can play battles multiple times, destroying weak opponents, and getting tons of EXP. This pretty much allows you to buy any upgrade you want, depending on how much time you want to spend replaying levels. To me this make the game a little easy, but of course, replaying levels is optional. This is the only the thing that puts a slight damper on an otherwise fantastic game.

This game does lose some points in lasting appeal though because you can only do the same thing over and over again for a few hours.

Final Remarks: Beautiful graphics and great gameplay don't make up for it being the same thing over and over again, but it'll hold your focus for the better part of a day.

Achilles on Kongregate

Achilles-

Graphics 4/5 Great graphics with multiple types of different soldiers although there is an occasional lag where if you throw a spear it will kill the person but on a delay and there will be no spear visible

Challenge to finish 5/5 it is a fairly easy game to finish until the final Super Boss who is two times your size and cannot be stunned.

Achilles has two modes Normal, and Survival,

Normal- 5 levels with 3 sub levels 

Sub level 1= introduction to new soldier type

Sub level 2= endurance with new soldier type

Sub level 3= few soldiers with boss for entire level

As well you have 5 lives and after that you can continue from any major level

Survival

Stronger and Stronger soldiers come at you until your 5 lives are lost

All in all i would give this game a 4/5 very fun although the lags can be VERY upsetting

Review #2 - The Orange Dot

Game Title: The Orange Dot

Publisher: invinciproduct

Type: More

This game really is an enigma to me. Its simple graphics, despite not being brilliantly drawn, are ok and not bad. The weird thing is, the basic formula works. Its interesting bouncing walls, well done control scheme and simplicity to the core make it a very odd favourite of mine. The creator himself acknowledges it is not the best artistical game ever, but the one thing that makes all games good, is addiction. I was addicted to this game quite a bit, I ended up playing for just under 20 minutes, which is much longer than required to actually finish the game. You may say "Oh, youre sponsoring the game on your site so your review is biased". It is not, the only reason ive affiliated with the developer is I really like the basic formula of the game, so im helping out with artwork and the logo is already done. Some bugs need to be addressed, going to fast can sometimes not collect the coins, keys and even go through walls occasionaly. But the raw code is there, which is the main thing. The sound effect.....well, not unbelievabley good, but helps make the game work better.

Gameplay : 4/5
It allures me with its simple physic-bouncy based code.
Graphics : 1/5
Nothing good, but its there because it needs to be.
Music : 1/5
Unfortunately, I didnt hear no music unless im going deaf.
Lasting Appeal: 4/5
Pretty addicting and interesting.
Bug Score : 3/5
You can play the game through with no bugs, but then again you can.
OVERALL SCORE

A really promising game, hampered by the lack of music, presence of bugs and inadequate graphics. But a brilliant first-game for InvinciProducts.

Different Rating System Decided.....

The new rating system has been decided. I have decided to sort of stay with the current setup as it is far easier and less annoying to do.

But it will be formatted like so, with a different sort of system.

If I can figure out an "easier" way of doing the image thing, I will use that in the same way.
