Mortals and Monsters: Blood Orc Reviews

Level 17 was the hardest level I ever faced. I'm now on 19. Another hard level. The best 'Tower Def' game ever!

Enjoying the ride in this maze intense Tower Defense title. Somewhat different (in a good way) to most TD titles with the heavy mazing influence. Had some initial issues with the maze setup and lack of visual range indicators for the towers, but these were quickly addressed by the Developers. Still scratching the surface, but plenty to keep you involved. One of the better TD titles I have played in recent times.

Love tower defense! Starts off easy but then levels become challenging and get very hard, very fast. Enjoyed building personalized and optimizing mazes. Has the hook to keep you coming back. One of the better tower defense games. Enjoying the journey and exploding wagons! Decent music, story and art work

Really torn on this one. It has a great look, and excellent fluff, quite engaging story, but that just isn't enough to overcome a few serious flaws. My main issue is that the maze building is really tedious. I was on level three, and my hand started to hurt before I even got half way through the process. I really wish that you could save and come back, on the maze building! I had seriously laid over two hundred pieces of wall, not counting when I something dropped in the wrong place and I had to redo a chunk. I had to quit out, and all that work is now gone. Sigh.. The second issue is that the towers almost seem secondary to the players hands-on weapon, Bombard in the early stages. It recharges so quickly that you seldom have time to do anything else. I really like a game with a strategic weapon options, but it shouldn't be something you need to be doing, all the time. There are even foes that can only be hit by it. Not far enough into really know much about the towers, but they seem to be upgrade twice and nothing else, very disappointing. Games like this are built on player-choices. Between the need to constantly be firing my own weapon, and the towers having so little to them, there simply isn't much game there. It's like eating chicken wings, a lot of flavor, but not much meat. Sad, I love the genre, but sometimes I think the free ones from Armour Games four years ago understood what makes the genre fun, and that knowledge has been lost.

Love mazing, hate that you have to do the ENTIRE MAZE on every level before you even see the enemies. Very tedious choice to only have one build phase. Pathable area is unclear and often enemies can walk through terrain or get stuck on objects. Camera cannot be tilted / turned to properly build in some locations. Cannot build 2x2 walls for any reason. Graphics look worse in motion. UI does not allow for selecting enemies to see their health / weaknesses. Phone game busy work of player only enemies that your towers ignore. No speed increase / decrease / in game pause. Cannot view tower range before building towers. I'm having fun so far and plan to complete, but am also very die hard for this genre.
