Infinity89 Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2013 2,170 0 36 #3 Infinity89, Jul 29, 2014 What do you mean? Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #4 Exact-Psience, Jul 29, 2014 Game balance is really off in a way that its own mechanics make its other features useless. They give you 2 attacks, a ranged attack and a melee attack. Melee attacks are more rewarding. Once you know the positioning of the enemies, ranged attacks have almost no use since nothing in the game really forces you to use them, and melee is so much easier to execute. And if i remember correctly, some enemies are even immune to ranged damage, while being susceptible to melee attacks. The controls work really well though, and the currency gain is pretty fast. Infinity89 Well-Known Member Apr 8, 2013 2,170 0 36 #5 Infinity89, Jul 29, 2014 Well so they couldn't adjust the balancing! Well I'll check it out since I missed it!

But it still fun to play. And the survival missions are a little bit harder than "protect" missions. Plus, it's full of contents. I certainly no wasted my money on this. bhornburg Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2009 120 0 16 #11 bhornburg, Jul 31, 2014 I thought this game had a great style. Waited and picked it up on sale. After playing two levels I deleted it. It's just super boring, the actual killing feels boring and there's a bunch of grinding to get something...more powers I guess?, but the core loop was so dull I have no idea how someone would have the patience to keep playing this. I should have listened to my fellow TA commentors. Oh well, at least I only lost a buck. You have been warned! (Again) GreedPhantom Well-Known Member Jul 9, 2014 1,013 0 0 France https://www.facebook.com/nagui.cherigui #12 GreedPhantom, Aug 13, 2014 Guys, this game become cool further in the game. And finally, we have some challenge a little bit later too. I just can't bear the joke in the achievements section... "Buy cash" mean, with real money. It's a premium game.
