Medieval Games: Empire Defense 12+

Classic almost copied game, but I kept playing

At first (tutorial mission) I got the feeling it was another copy of a common game that I knew. I went in with that perspective and I was disappointed. Which makes sense bc if I expected a reskin game, then it makes sense. But that’s not what we should play games for. So I gave the game a second try, with this new light. I went into the campaign and actually enjoyed myself theorizing the underlying plots that might be going on in the story. As I read the Bible a lot or our God’s WORD and there’s so much hidden knowledge and it changes your perspective on every story you read and interpret. In this story I found something that intrigued me wanting to figure out what happened next in the story. I’m currently on stage 5 on the game, but I’m glad I could support by writing this review. And I hope this may inspire and invigorate you so we can all achieve dreams for a greater purpose. I pray this helps you out with this man, even past your game and work but your life too!

Developer Response ,

Hi there, thank for playing my game and giving it a chance. I'm happy you found the campaign story intriguing :)

Unique style

At first I thought this would be one of those games that I would download, play for a while, then delete. Surprisingly though, this was one of the few that played better than what was seen on the overview.

If you’re trying to get more info on the game, it is a relatively simple strategy game that deals with 1v1 battles using units that you level up and unlock in the campaign. In multiplayer, you choose 9 units and a leader character you want to use that are at max level. There is also a sandbox mode that I have yet to play but from what I have seen in the campaign and multiplayer plus knowing what a sandbox game is, it sounds like it will be fun to mess around with and you can use units that are unavailable to you in the campaign. The maps are pretty simple but you mainly need to focus on the enemy to know how to counter anyway.

To the developer,
When playing a campaign match that starts you off with two miners, they both go towards the same gold deposits and make it uneven when spawning more miners making it less efficient. If you could, it would be nice for the miners AI to go for whichever gold deposit has less miners going to it. It would also be nice to have an alternative way to get gems to buy and upgrade the units in the campaign or to reset the ones you’ve already spent so they can be used elsewhere.

Im also curious if you are making a sequel to the campaign, whether it’s another game or just an update.

Hi there,

Thanks a lot for the detailed review and kind words. I'm very happy you like my little game. :)

You're right the miners that are pre deployed do find the closest mine and both go to the same one, but the ones that are deployed later on do alternate between both mines so that the are spread out evenly.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll see if I can add them into the next updates :)

Absolute Cinema

The game’s story is without a doubt one of the most compelling that I have ever had to pleasure of experiencing within a mobile game, the pacing of the exposition is masterfully executed and each character adds something to the dynamic, in addition its full of surprises and the consistent TTS voices is the cherry on top of it all.

The later stages of the campaign are definitely challenging and will absolutely take a few attempts so make sure to tweak the difficulty in the settings and watch the ads mid game for the extra coins, and you should be good, also the ballista is your best friend.

As for the multiplayer it is just as addictive as the campaign with the added bonus of featuring additional troops not available for use in the campaign, however, the only real criticism overall is that disconnecting from a match will instantly hault the game and not grant the remaining player a win and likewise not count as a loss for the player that disconnected. I would also love to see a means of communicating with opponents added in the form of preset phrases, emotes, or a text chat.

In all this is an amazing game made by an amazing developer who deserves all the best. Love your game man, thanks for making something great!
