Click units to train or use [1..7] hotkeys.
[Left/Right arrows] or [A]/[D] to scroll the map.
Press [P] to pause the game.
your king of the portal :)
*you're
Your don't deserve king of the portal.
Every single one of your "strategy games" has been the SAME DAMN THING reskinned and repackaged as a "new game."
To be honest, Humaliens and Battle Gear in my eyes are the exact same game, except different unit names.
At the same time your engine is one of the most flawed ones I've seen, as is your sense of balance.
1. Range is a wild card, sometimes a long range unit will not even flinch at a unit from five miles away, wait for it to come, then get pwned, badly. Other times, your units will pick somebody off LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.
2. Your balancing is horridly stupid. You seem to love the idea of "bad unit, better unit, and best unit." As in, you still haven't gotten the concept of actual military balancing. Somehow, a riflemen can actually pwn a tank... SOMEHOW. Additionally, the riflemen gets his ass kicked by a ROCKET LAUNCHER which normally they should be able to dodge, yet in your game, that means jack shit.
There is no rocks paper scissors gameplay that a REAL strategy game has, it's just sending hordes of random units at the other side until they lose, and so, there isn't actually any STRATEGY.
3. You fail to ever bring ANYTHING new to the table, it's just more clutter. I remember the strategy defense series of yours, that after 3, you just kept confusing things. 3 was a good game, 4 was just clutter, and 5 didn't make any sense with the white units and whatever.
In all honesty, I can't see the difference between Humaliens, Battle Gear, and Massive War.
Hey, how about you try bringing something NEW to the table next game, huh?
the game is awesome and those who are gonna be douches about it and complain about it on their own page
This is little more than a waste of time, to be honest.
Grinding:
This is the main aspect of the game. The main purpose of it, apparently. Regardless of intentional or not, I'm forced to repeat the same level OVER AND OVER in order to get upgrade points enough to be able to beat the next level. This is not okay. Grinding is, essentially, just a horrible way to make people play your game. Or to make your game seem longer than it actually is. It's a filler. Do not use grinding to fill empty space! 'nuff said!
Units:
Obviously, this is a game about waging war, so units are essential.
But why can't I have air units backing up my ground units? I mean, that is sort of essential in modern (and future) warfare. Even in the past (since we invented flying machines anyway), our ground units have had flying guns to back them up.
Difficulty curve:
Is bollocks. Completely fucked over by old men with hairy behinds, mate. One moment I'm killing everything my literally just sending out one squad of riflemen at a time. Fully upgraded, these guys could apparently kill everything. Then, out of nowhere, the difficulty rises and I have to rely on wave tactics instead. That is to say, I am now simply spamming every single god damn units I have with no necessary order. NOT OKAY either, buddy.
When I see "military operations" in the description, this is not reeeaaally what I expect. I expected something slightly more realistic - Like balanced units. Heavy guns for heavy infantry/light vehicles, bazookas for vehicles, riflemen for regular infantry, etc. Stuff like that.
I do not want to just spam everything in no particular order to beat the living shit out of some alien enemy.
Levels:
Are plentiful. I like that much - I mean, you could at least get that right.
Just one flaw:
They're all the fucking same.
All ground levels look the same, all air levels look the same, all sea levels look the same.
All levels have the same point - Namely spam the living snot out of the enemy.
Upgrade points:
Are a good idea on paper.
But you burned the paper, sniffed the ash, and shat it out the window into an old lady's face.
These upgrade points cause a lot of grind. I may as well refer to them as "Grind Points".
Grind Points:
Are gained by grinding, obviously. You use them to upgrade ground units, air units, and naval units respectively, so you have to grind a lot. Why? Well, because you can only put ground units on ground maps, and so forth. You can't focus on air units (even though a helicopter can obviously fly over the sea), and you can't just invest all your money in ground units (because you can't skip air or sea levels).
These points are a good idea gone bad, really. I see many games with upgrade points/money for upgrades and such. You just ruined it with the general setting of this game.
Upgrades:
Are also plentiful.
But they require a lot of grind points, so they're a pain in the ass to get.
I wish I was joking when I tell you that I played one level over and over at least 6 times to properly prepare for the next level - And found out the units I upgraded was too expensive to use with my starting funds. So I had to start over with the grinding.
Overall:
Awful game. Don't waste your time with this. Go play Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty if you really want to bash some aliens with the butt of your gun.
I like to think that I speak for everyone (or at least the majority) of the players when I say things like this.
And this time, I also did just that.
By looking at the other reviews (except for the 4 or 5 fanboys here on your profile), most people actually agree with me.
Your game is shit.
Well, correct me if I am wrong, Mr. Belugerin, but is Squidly and I not speaking the truth here?
Honestly? Your just king of the portal because you keep posting the same, bloody games up, with different packaging on them....
As I say....
A peice of shit is a peice of shit. You can put glitter on it, confetti on it, even a nice fancy Top Hat. But you know what? IT IS STILL A PEICE OF SHIT.
Boom baby.
Make a good game next time. :|
