Reviews for Prince of War

IT HAS A PLOT!!!

And one that's actually interesting!

Though, I have to admit... It was more the plot than the gameplay that got me playing this thing to the end. The hero's newly gained ability to actually *do* something beyond smacking peons (especially helpful against enemy archers, heh) was a nice touch, but that couldn't really help the fact that the game didn't really have any advanced strategic elements. Gold is lacking for about half a minute, before you thwack off some peons, and after that it's just clicky-whenever-a-soldier-dies. Granted, there are some funner parts (use your hero as a meatshield to hold off enemy hordes so your advanced units would concentrate on the boss), but they're sorta lacking.

Given the game mechanics' nature of "walk in a line and thwack things that stop you", I however doubt that anything better than what you did here could be done in this format, and so for that, I salute you.

If you want to make a strategy flash game, maybe you shouldn't try to make an RTS, but rather something turn-based? Or maybe a turn-based strategy with a real-time battle element? :3 These are just suggestions, I guess, and even if you do stuff that doesn't follow 'em, I do wish you the greatest luck in whatever endevour you undertake.

DW out.

P.S. The Prelate has elf ears! o.O What the meh?

Sequel to Battle for Gondor, huh?

Prince of War. Sounds just a little like Prince of Persia, which is why I like the idea so much. However, I felt his character design could have been just the slightest bit cooler. I'm especially grateful, though, that the hero can partake in the main battle. A vast improvement from the first version, though it kind of takes the tactics down a little, because now the units aren't quite as important when you have an extra soldier running around, faster and stronger than half your infantry. His reach is also slightly longer than the orcs, so it's unfair for him to slay them without taking damage. I found it interesting how I could take on the orc army, and the golem, by myself. As a general rule, your hero alone is stronger than all of your lesser units combined.

The dialogue inbetween levels was also a neat addition. The word is Elven, though, not Elfin. I've never seen it spelt that way, so forgive me if I'm wrong by correcting you. The only real flaw in the game was that you sometimes skipped the first bit of the dialogue because you were still holding down space from the last battle, and there's no way to go back and read it. That kinda dragged down the storyline a bit.

I liked how the story didn't just stop after you pushed the orcs from your land. Forcing them to a ceasefire isn't good enough- you want to erradicate the threat. That's a cool notion. A brave one. Also, now that you can attack the army, standing behind them doesn't do any damage to you while you still reap through them.

I do disagree with Pitt's story, though. Traitors were tortured and killed in various fashions, depending on the civilisation. And anyone cowardly enough to turn on their own men is not likely to give their own lives to protect someone else's. I'm also somewhat perturbed that the orcs would help the army that had been slaying them for countless days and nights.

Simple graphics, with effective colouring and characteristics to still make clear distinctions between the different units, both of orcs and your own army. Music that you could listen to for, basically, ever... As far as I can tell, the only reason you changed the names of all the old units was because this was (supposedly) an entirely new story, with identical characters and similar stages :P Still, there were a few major tweaks to the gameplay, which I very much appreciated. Not a lot else to say, so well done on this!

Note: Dwarves are probably the best soldiers you can get, when compared to the price. Reasonably fast infantry with plenty of health and a decent sized axe to hack with.

Good, but..

Well, it's already been done. it's the same as the last one. I forgot the name. But EVERYTHING IS THE SAME except you can walk down into the battlefield as the playable charachter. That the only diffrence. You shouldnt have remade thi though.
