海岛守卫 Island guards Reviews

TL:DR - Poorly balanced, incomplete, missing lots of tool-tips or any kind of direction to help you figure out what your heroes can do, or what their skills are. English language support is hidden behind non English menus so you have to find this by pure luck. Annoying music you cant turn off. The art style is cool and the enemies look nice but other than that its unplayable. Pros: - Nice art style - Cool looking spells Cons: -English language support is hidden, there is an option to switch to English but you have to navigate through non-English menus to find it which makes no sense. This should be presented on the home screen. You also default back to Chinese when the game ends so you have to keep going back into the settings to turn English on. - Sound muting button just does not work, so your stuck with the annoying music even after turning it off in the settings. - About 50% of the tool tips are missing, so good luck figuring out what type of hero you are recruiting or what a button on the UI does before you click it - When recruiting heroes you are shown a panel of stars on the left hand side, but with no context around what these stars are for? I assume more stars = a stronger hero but its very unclear if the heroes have different stats (Strength, Agility etc) - Unbalanced. Mostly due to the lack of direction or information around the heroes and spells, but even on easy you quickly get over-run even if you buy the absolute best heroes you can with your starting funds. I suspect you need to work with a combination of heroes + spells but its very hard to figure out what to buy due to the missing information. You end up just blindly picking heroes and spells and hoping for the best.

Neither a plus or a minus at this stage. It took me a tad under an hour to lose my first (and only game). Most of it is fairly intuitive (and its not too hard to find the English graphics, the Introductory Screen has an "Englis" (their spelling, not mine), in the lower right corner - the game itself gives you a lot of graphical in-game guidance. That being said I don't really know what I am trying to beat as there seems to be no hi-score (i think!). The graphics are good and I haven't yet found the sound settings, albeit I haven't tried too hard. I will watch, with more than a casual interest, if and when more English details are forthcoming.
