This is a scenario i was working on and i just got sick of it.... so here it is! please let me know what you guys think about this, im expecting comments. It has really nice eyecandy :p
Playability: 2
WTF? This was so dumb. You walk forward on a straight path, kill a guy boss (longest/most boring fight ever, you do almost no damage to the boss, but he does even less to you so you win), find another guy, then it tells you to "explore" and I explored the entire map and nothing happened.
Balance: 1
Man it's hard to write three lines about this. It's basically like: You have a titan, kill a villager. That's really the entire map. It wasn't even close to a fight vs. anything. The boss gets you to 90% health and the chimera dies in less than 10 seconds.
Creativity: 2
The dream sequence was ok. I guess the boss you fight is supposed to be a nightmare, and it was really scary looking outside of the stat box. There's really not a whole lot to the map to be creative, though. Just one boss fight, find another guy.
Map Design: 2
It has some pretty eyecandy, but it also has ridiculous pathing issues. 70% of the map is totally blank grass (I assume that you're not supposed to be able to get there?). But you can get there by right clicking and your troops walk through the wall. Also near the end after you're told to "explore" (I assume that the map ends there because there's nothing else on the whole map, I'll rewrite this review if there's something there), your guys walk up cliffs and stuff.
Story/Instructions: 3
The instructions are really clear. I was never confused about what I was supposed to do. The story is like you wake up and sense evil or something. It's pretty tired, but I did feel slightly immersed with the foggy effects and such.
Additional Comments:
The map looks reasonably pretty, but this map is incredibly buggy. It's hard to appreciate eyecandy when your protagonist walks over cliffs or discovers that 70% of his dream is identical blank grass.
Bottom Line: If you want a map of similar difficulty, give player 1 a titan and give the AI a deer and play Godzilla vs. Bambi.
