****SPOILERS****
At this point, I have got hold of the gold, lured the western enemies to the bridge and butchered them, killed 2 paladins, and was just exploring more when King Harald arrived and bam! Victory. Kindly clarify before I give out the final review. Thanks. |

No worries though. The scenario itself is well made. A solid winner of the DTS 13.[Edited on 02/15/14 @ 03:28 AM]

On moderate, I did all the side quests, after which the enemy attacked me on the bridge.. once. Short while later I got bored, took all my units and killed all the units on the north side, and then to the base at the bottom. Ended at 25 min, was unable to achieve a victory condition.
Fairly disappointing for a winner of scenario contest. |

Playability 3
As expected of a DtS, the player must hold an island against some enemies, who attack with several decent waves on Hard. They were mowed down easily enough and I was left wondering what would come next, but after sitting about for quite awhile nothing happened. The entire setup is pleasant enough but also not very exciting.
Balance 3
The challenge is simply to hold off a few simple waves of enemies, who did manage to kill a number of my men by the end, but on the other hand I just left my troops in a stock DtS formation without much micromanaging, and also I didn't even take advantage of the optional troops around the map. Quite easy and simple.
Creativity 3
Its a decent try with a storyline, and some music and sound effects. The "sidequests" scattered about were on the level of gaia units joining your side for free, however. The basic gameplay was quite simple and not a particularly inspired game overall.
Map Design 3
There is a nice looking map here with some very simplistic zones. The main village looks nice with good detailing and solid building placement. The water around it has some detailing and looks nice, but the shorelines in sight are very simple with no work done, looking very random mapish. The roads on the mainland are OK with a rundown look with the forests having some flower patches underneath.
Story\Objectives 3
A storyline is present that introduces a reason to defend the island, although I didn't entirely get what the point was about. The English level is a bit low here. The scouts, hints, and objectives were quite basic.
Final Thoughts:Its a decent game you wont regret playing, but just keep your expectations in check. |
