Review: Castle Conflict
Overview: You are his Highness, the King of (your name here)sville and your kingdom is under attack! In Castle Conflict, defend your castle from evil forces while trying to destroy the opposing castle. Features: In this Warcraftesque tower defense game, you must collect points by gathering resources - trees in this case. Send out your peons to gather the wood. More trees equals more points. The more points you obtain, the more options for destruction you are offered. Weapons range from little guys with swords to knights on horseback to blimps who drop bombs on the battlefield. The more they cost, the more damage they will do. The Good: The ability to use ninjas to steal resources from the opposing peons, and the castle itself, is the best thing about this game. The ninjas cost a little bit more than your run of the mill peon, but they are faster. If you see an enemy gatherer who is closer to a tree than you are, send out a ninja to steal it from him. But, remember, timing is everything and watch out for enemies who are bigger than you are as they will crush you into a poof of gray smoke! The Bad: This game is actually fairly entertaining, however there are some major issues. First and foremost, there is only one level. You gather resources and hit their castle with everything you’ve got. Once it’s destroyed, that’s it. You are given stats for that particular game and taken back to the main menu. No level two - that’s it. I found this odd considering the “Continue” button located on that very menu. Don’t tease me with a button if there is nothing to continue! …and yes, I used the same picture twice. I can do that if I want to. The graphics are pretty basic, but that’s not really too big of a concern with this type of game. The difficulty, however, is something we should talk about. There are three modes: Easy, Medium, and Hard. I have played on the hard level every time and have yet to lose. I may just be that good, but I think it’s also due to the fact that the devs just didn’t make it difficult enough. Now, let’s add the “Help Menu” to this list. I don’t even have to explain it, just look at the picture right here. Really? “Defeat the enemy!” is all the help that you have to offer? Thanks, I wasn’t sure what to do until I read that. The Verdict: Y’know, this game, like I said before, is fairly entertaining. If they were to remedy the afore mentioned issues and give us more levels, then it would be pretty fun. Maybe you fight two castles at once? I don’t know, just something. Anything! Also, $1.99 is a little high for me considering what I mentioned above, but it is a good time waster and there is some entertainment in it - so it’s not all bad.
