The Legend of Evil

After 5 hours of gameplay, here are my thoughts. This is a timed-attack RTS & tower defense hybrid. You have a short window of time to deploy your towers, unleash your forces, and defeat the humans. The game offers multiple tactical devices as well as a number of monsters with their own set of abilities and quirks. Art style is a simple retro pixel style akin to early SNES, Sega Genesis and the like. Pros: Variety of monsters with unique abilities. Tower upgrades with special effects to assist your monsters. You can control your character to mine extra souls and coins to boost upgrade paths (and in rogue mode reskin them a bit). Timed-attack means you don't spend a long time on a given level. Rogue Conquest mode offers a semi-randomized experience using monsters and offering extra options to upgrade monsters. Cons: Unbalanced challenge; some levels limit your building options which can force you to replay too many times. The timed-attack is a double-edged sword, while it makes playing a given level short it also means you are prone to running out of time and forcing repeats of a given level. Some monster powers don't make sense; how do flying monsters sink into snow or swamps wh…

It is the opposite of a tower defense game, you build towers, but those will summon demons which who you want to destroy the humans. You have to be active in this game, running around to dig spots for coins or souls, and when you have enough souls to upgrade your towers. There is a campaign mode and a rogue conquest mode. Both of those modes are hard, very hard. The developer was right with pointing that out on the store page. Info achievements: There are 2-3 achievements out of the 6 that aren’t so hard. After you beat the first level in campaign mode you’ll unlock the Lapis, and finishing level 1 of conquest mode is very easy as well. The two to beat a different boss are a lot harder, and completing campaign mode and getting all the medals seems very very hard. Pros & Cons: + Nice graphics + fun game to play +- very challenging game, not easy to complete!

looks good but gameplay is terrible after the first few intro levels. you basically gotta figure out which towers to build or sell at what point while also dealing with a timer, not much fun for me at least.

I even gave it time and tried again months later, because I really wanted this to be good. This is a genre I love and rarely get to see. But it's just not good. Past like level 3, everything requires extremely specific strategies performed with exact timing. Even when you figure it out, the timing will try after try to figure out. Oh, and lets not forget how little quality of life there is. You can't adjust any setting without going all the way back to the title screen. There's no restart option when you fail a level, you have to go back to select. The only persistent challenge is one that not only takes your entire time limit to the last seconds, but is RNG based. The endless mode doesn't let you select an avatar, but instead hit the random button until it randomizes something you like. Pass on it. Look at the playtime of the few positive reviews, see how hardly any of them have playtime over an hour. except the one that got the game for free. I would've passed on this if it were the free flash game it feels like.

If you wanted to be evil and destroy all mankind in a tower defense style game, then this is the game for you! Great controller support! Love the retro feel and the game is a joy to play!

Mind numbing gameplay, more trial and error than any actual strategy.
