I beat the game long before the Premium stuff was added. But the game is still challenging whether you have the extra bonuses or not. :) To those of you wondering about Premium: you're not missing out too much, though if you've beaten everything in the entire game, the three bonus levels are VERY VERY HARD (I've only beaten one D:) and a great workout if you still want stuff to do, so if you're not sure, then beat the game the normal way and then buy the bonus stages.
(to Mandrax) Well I played this one as a Duelist and I got a team of Guardian (Shotgun), Hunter (Bowgun) and Ranger (Cheap Worn HMG) in the mid Stage 20s. But not a single Big Gun showed up the whole game other than HMGs. One of my mistakes was probably not getting a better gun than my Pistol (got it upgraded to Mk-2 though), but the Sniper Pistol felt awkward to use; probably should have bought the Laser Gun but I was anal about its 1 Mod Slot (wanted a better one later but it never came). x_x Maybe I had too rough of a time because I was a Duelist...
UGH. How do you fend off tanks, ogres, knights and dragons all at once?? >_< I haven't found any rocket or grenade launchers the entire game, so am I completely screwed just because of that? Feels like it.
There we go, beat the game. :) Ahh that was enjoyable. It's a nice change of pace to play a game where you don't have to fight enemies, but you can still die and it's still engaging in that way. Very relaxing. Also the ending is TOTALLY a teaser for a sequel... XDD Props.
This is not a perfect game by any means, but it is very relaxing. I play Disgaea 4 on my PS3 which is very involved and kind of frustrating sometimes, but here in Starbucks, I can relax with Protector IV.V and sip coffee just to take a load off of everything. ^^
Two deaths on Final Boss Akron on Epic Mode and counting. That goddamn Cosmic Monolith that arbitrarily shows up halfway through is a FREAKING. NIGHTMARE.
Actually I take my statement back. Star Hairclip + Lv5 Crystal Staff works very well in the first half of the game, but right around World 4 it starts losing its awesomeness (I play on Epic Mode by the way) and you start needing to exploit the type weaknesses more in order to do more than bruise them. I found that Matt's Reflex spell, the Flare spell and the Ninja Gear items are EXTREMELY handy, when multiple enemies cast many multi-hit attacks in a row and half of the blows miss your guys, it helps considerably.
(to SolitaryCZ) Natalie, with Level 5 Crystal Staff, Level 5 Star Hairclip, maxed out Lucky Star and Star Shower spells. You will almost never need anything else. ;3
The final boss, man. Kupo, you've outdone yourself. This is Gainax shit right here-- the very last phase left me seeing stars after I closed my eyes. Beautiful game.
Ahh... >_< This game, guys. It has multiple endings. You get to choose which destiny you want to earn, and... I think I picked the worst one. I feel like I can't live with myself now. ;__; God... this game, it's beautiful... heart wrenching... agh
GUYS. You have GOT to buy this game. If you have any means whatsoever to obtain 50 Kreds and purchase this, do so immediately. The full game is CRAZY AWESOME, easily best purchase I've made in months. Hilarious dialogue, engaging storyline, engaging GAMEPLAY, sheesh some of these levels really make me sweat! (I never play on Casual Mode. Ever.) I'm not even halfway through it and I'm loving every moment of it. 50 Kreds is too generous for this amazing game. :') I will likely support this company's future games with cash if they continue to be such fantastic quality all the way through.
*has 325 Kreds left over from two years ago*
*buys Full Version before even trying the game out*
*trolololo to all you poor kids, mow some freakin' lawns or whatever* :p
One of the things I like about this game compared to other Tower Defense games is that there aren't any special powers, like how most TDs give you meteors or bombs or whatever to get you out of trouble every x seconds. This game isn't like that. It's pure tactics. ^^ I love it.
