"What's a turn?"

submission: The Great Siege

date: 5 hours ago

The only time I gained money was from accidentally going into battle with just a palace, mine, and farm built. There are some many things in this game that are unclear even in the tutorials. My hat is off to those who figured it out. I got seriously bored 10 minutes into the game and my resources didn't go up for squat.

Plus there's no retreat? Not impressed at all with this game.

"Could have been better."

submission: Ching Chong Beautiful

date: December 11, 2009

Controls seemed a touch sluggish, the story is corny (even by Swain standards), I think the title of the game could have been a bit more original than the old school teasing of Japanese kids. You could have named the game something just as silly without the Ching Chong reference.

As for the game itself, it held my interest for about 7 minutes, then it fizzled. It's real repetitive, at times frustrating, and visually mediocre for the level of talent that made this game. Not everyone has seen Japanese game shows, so you've limited the parody appreciation to a small part of the Newgrounds crowd.

I noticed that you already presumed people would complain about this game, so don't feel to bad if people troll you in the reviews.

"Tribal Wars anyone?"

submission: Imperium II

date: November 18, 2009

This game is pretty much a single player version of the game Tribal Wars. The landscape is a bit much, and the buildings consume too much space too fast. The combat engine was either set up to make you lose or you didn't test play this enough. Another down side is the amount time it takes to get resources and troops. Flash gamers don't wanna play a browser game, they want something a bit more upbeat and quicker. The longevity of the game is nice, but you could spend a whole summer just with one game.

I wouldn't shy anyone away from this game though. It isn't completely disappointing. Just the vital parts. heh
