Call for Heroes: Pompolic Wars Reviews

Some people and critics call this one of the worst games ever made. Did we play the same game? It's great. For one, it is quite interesting and unique. Basically, this is a hack and slash where in each level you have to find numerous keys to open the portal to the next level, but there's a catch – every level has a time limit. You can collect clocks to get some time, but you are always in a rush. It is quite intense, although me being quite a slow player I did not run out of time even once. All of your weapons use ammunition, including melee ones, so you have to conserve ammo. and use your weaponry wisely. The game uses a quite complicated system of having two separate mana bars and also a stamina bar which is also used as ammunition as well as for running. It's very odd, but it somewhat works even if confusing and redundant. One thing I do not understand is why do some of the keys spawn only later on, which forces you to re-explore the whole levels multiple times. The enemy, weaponry, spell ability and environmental varieties are pretty great. Even though there were a few lesser levels, most are very good, except for the last level which is garbage. The last level is just a single circular room where you fight hordes of enemies and then fight have a final boss battle and this might be the spongiest boss I've ever fought. It me took maybe 40 minutes of non-stop firing... It's really unfortunate that the game ends with such a crappy level, but otherwise I had a great time with this game. 7/10
