Cracks In Hell Reviews

Good janky game

Despite languishing at 140 on the leaderboard I am really enjoying the challenge of this title.

I am kinda sad I have to give this a negative review. It seems im the only one. I wont go into detail too much as the other excellent reviews give you a better sense of what the game is about then I can do. So I will just say why I give this a thumbs down. I enjoyed this developer's other games very much, especially the wall defense games. I got I think 290 hours in zombie rush - heroes, which features a mini game that is pretty much this game. Sadly with this game, I dont know what the developers intentions were. The balance feels all wrong. The amount of coins you get for each attempt is abysmal considering you have 20 characters you can permanently upgrade with those coins. And they get expensive FAST. Level 1 is 1,000 Level 2 is 2,000 Level 3 is 3,000 etc. If you put that in your first skill, thats only 4,5% more damage as you get 1,5% more damage per level you buy of that skill. The other two skills give you 0,01% increase per kill or per 11 seconds in the arena. And even then I noticed some levels dont upgrade it at all. For example, the 0,01% increase per kill goes like this. Level 1 is 0,01 level 2 is 0,01 level 3 is 0,02 level 4 is 0,03 level 5 is 0,04 level 6 is 0,04 level 7 is 0,05 Its absolutely mental, the amount of grind this developer expects you to do. And its so incredibly RNG based as well. I miss features like rerolling your upgrades, or choosing NOT to equip an item that dropped. Because you are FORCED to equip that item. I guess you can just count this all as the game being jank, and im all for jank, aslong as it doesnt deter from the enjoyment of the game. Also a lot of the tool tips are just plain wrong aswell, and I still cant figure out if upgrading the necromancer does anything. lol I dont think the developer will do anything about this (they move on pretty fast) so thats why I cant recommend this game. It loses its appeal pretty fast. I hope the new halloween defense will be more like zombie rush. And yea, its only 2 euro's, but I wish the developer would ask atleast 5 times more and actually put more effort into their games. They are all very much, diamonds in the rough. One positive note though is you can refund the coins spend whenever you want.

It's a janky, difficult yet fun for its price hero 'tower defence' There are twenty different characters, ranging from an Elf archer to a bipedal mech with a huge machinegun, each has a unique ability. As you kill enemies you sometimes are awarded with an item to give to one of your characters (items do not persist between runs), or you can unlock or level up a hero - a choice of three characters pop up. Choosing a char that you already had deployed on the field levels it up by one star. You have 20 lives shared between all of your characters, you lose if you run out of lives. To win, survive 60 waves and unlock the next difficulty. You earn gold which you can spend to permanently upgrade each of the twenty heroes, though the choices are quite limited and expensive which I'd argue is the games largest shortcoming. Getting through the 60 waves, even at 2.5x speed takes a long time and the gold earnt can only buy a few % points of attack damage for one character. But overall for the cost, this game is pretty fun. //as a side note, I checked out the developers other games and while they are all janky, there are several that are loads of fun and I'm dissapointed that Steam didn't recommend them to me.

Janky as heck Warcraft 3 custom map like game. [b]Beautiful.[/b] Overall if you are bored, looking for something funny, this is more worth than your Starbucks Coffee or industrialized sandwich or whatever printed out bakery you gonna get from some corporation. Aight so its jank, meaning its inconsistent, random and poor quality. But thats the point here man. Thats why you are here for! First of all: The game is slow as snails. I looked for Idler games, this is what showed up. Its not really, but the length of one match is kinda insane. This game lacks descriptions, the stats are incorrect most of the times but usually gives you a general idea whats going on. Just like a warcraft 3 map, you may be confused as heck the first time you play. You lose, you think you figured it out, you get some upgrades, still lose maybe towards the very end. Then you may understand, but may also take you some time until you get the 2nd map. Like, the first time you play, you will figure you can kinda "softlock" your builds. You can not unequip items/powerups idk and you can only equip 2 powerups. Theres also Leaderboards, but idk how to get points. Generally, this Dev has janky games like these. So if you are curious, check it out.
