I found this game maybe a week ago. I completely fell in love. I played for hours on a simple flash game. I came back a few days later. Balance was different, but I supported that.
I'm playing now, and I can't get past level 10 on normal. To say it has become incredibly boring is an understatement. To repeatedly play levels 1-10 over and over and over making no progress really kills the feelings I had for this game.
I'm sorry The Perfect Tower, but you're not perfect for me any more. Re-rated, 2 stars. For the old days.
I'm a fan of the previous versions, and I agree with @d_swabey. I was disappointed in the reduced features in this version. I miss the bar that shows where the units were currently located across the map. It's also considerably more difficult to compare the features of each unit when composing your team. I understand from your response that you wanted to make a game that's easily ported to a mobile device. It might be a great game on the iPhone, but it's only a pretty good game to play on a computer.
I love this game, but it's so hard to heal yourself. I hate fighting through waves and waves of trash in the woods to get to the danger zone, only to be at extremely low health, unable to afford potions, and only able to use teeny tiny potions that barely restore my health. Fix the health regen, either by giving you the ability to regen health out of combat, or let us heal in town. Please!
Can't find the last boss? I'm playing as a Shadow Runner (Mercenary, Blademaster) and found the king between the two rivers, in the most northwest empty corner. On your map, it looks empty, but the dude'll be there. Great game, 5/5.
The whole game was the guy's fantasy, based on the old Greek myth about a lover who rescues his beloved from the depths of Heck. 5/5. I loved the story, and yeah, the controls were frustrating at times, but you didn't have to restart constantly. It's almost like in an old NES game. Reminds me of Maniac Mansion a little bit.
