Overall, it was a fun, original idea. Wound is seriously overpowered, as most of my defeats come from me not having too many units with defense. There should also be better ways to get gems after you defeat the campaign. Normally I would right more, but this game is too tempting ;)
Reviews for "Highgrounds"
Game is really interesting and fun but Wound is seriously OP as shit and needs some change because it actually affects more units than it leads on. If it says "Wounds two, starting from directly across" it really means three because it will wound across, the unit above that one and the next turn will wound the unit beneath.
ARTHUR IS OP AS SHIT!!! NERF HIM YOU WANKERS!!!
the gameplay is really good but some stages seem impossible to get past but overall i think it's a very addicting game
Hello there Devs!
I don't usually write reviews but I've studied video design myself and this is just great.
You know, I don't play web based games where you can buy upgrades, because fuck it, they're terrible most times.
Then you get things like LoL and you realize it is possible.
Even if it has nothing to do with this, WhatsApp is the perfect free to use (for a while app) for instance, and they work great.
So I tried this one, and I was hooked right away!
I love the graphic style you've created, It's amazing and clean and beautiful, and really hard to achieve and create btw.
I really like the music too, I've been playing for hours and it never got boring.
I was amazed at seeing that every single unit is different, that was great.
Then I got into the game and it starts getting hard as fuck and that is great too!
To the contrary on some comments here, I found that you give away a lot of gems. I bought the commander pack doing the campaign and I'm about to buy a gold pack by doing achievements now.
Comparing to other free to play games, this is literally outstanding.
The game is really good in itself, and being able to play against other human players is the core of this.
Strategy starts to become crucial and, even if some luck is mixed here, good strategy skills and knowing how the game works is crucial.
You've created something really nice and I hope you keep at it.
Dismiss the nay sayers, fuck them. What have they done with their lives in the first place?
You have a goal and that is to create a superb free to play game, so go for it and don't listen to the people who try to put you down, because while they whine, you can move forward.
An infimal amount of people really knows how much work you need to input into creating a game, specially an indie one.
I hope that your story of HighGrounds gets developed, and that one day you get to be a hit like Kingdom Rush.
some things that I think would improve the game:
- Special animations for ultra rare units (or sounds)
- One more music track
- A more polished story if possible. Stories hook you up, when a game has a great playability but also a great story you follow, one of those where you want to know "oh shit, and what will happen now?". There you've done it.
I'm sure that new factions and units will ensue per se, which is great too.
By the way, I've an i5 first gen, 4 gb of ram and an nVidia 310m in Windows 7 ultimate.
It works flawlessly on my side. Firefox, btw, last version with flash, last version too.
Well! Long review! I hope you find it useful!
Cheers and thanks for the fun times.
(and for yelling AAAAHGGHH FUCK! when I had a multiplayer enemy in just 1 of life for a very long segment of the fight and he then beat me anyway =D )
