Story:
The story is awesome, well because it doesn't have one, and if they'd try to make one, I'd be pissed off at the company.
Controls:
The controls for the game are pretty damned good, there isn't a miss, though occasionally you miss picking up and swinging around guys. Due to the vast amount of units hurling themselves at you. Well basically there really isn't any controls.. I'll tell you all about it in the gameplay section of my review.
Sounds / Graphics:
The graphics.. well the graphics are well.. not good. The sounds are actually a person who is making sounds. which in all honesty is quite bad. Everything looks a bit flashy.(meaning made in flash) but don't think i'm some sort of moron yet, i was just about to back it up saying," well most likely because it actually originated on flash. It seems like for the music they spent most of their budget on the menu music, which they could of easily re-used during the actually game. Their is no music during gameplay, absolutely no music.
Gameplay:
Well the game play, here we go. You start a new game. It starts you off in a vast field emptier then anything you can imagine. So you're playing and it seems that nothing is going on, Then this lonely little guy is running at your castle. (what do i do?) well of course, pick him up really high and drop him on the floor! Its kills them as soon as they hit the floor. (Did i do a bad thing?) No, because as the title imply s, you need to defend your castle at any cost. anyway.. the round ends when the sun goes down. You go to a buying menu and you have the option to fortify your walls(add health) another fortify option, which costs more then the other option but add x times the amount of health the original fortify wall gives you. You also have the option to heal, or heal all. (these are priced, currency is given by the amount of points you get in a match, which are basically the amount of people you kill) There is also upgrades, an archer tower, builders, mages, and what I like to call unibombers(because they appear usually singular and explode). There is also the pit of conversion, which in all honesty you have to get first, because without it you can't add people to your archer, mage, unibomber, and builder towers, rendering them useless because the pit of conversion is used to convert soldiers who are trying to destroy your castle to units of your own. Mages are used for casting spells. (they don't do this automatically, you get the option by pressing the down button on your directional pad.) as you add more units from the pit of conversion you unlock more skills to use during each level. The amount of people you add to the mage tower also decreases the amount of time it takes for a spell to cool down. Archer towers is pretty much just a tower with archers in it. the more you put into the archer tower, the faster they shoot and the more they kill. Builders are used for repairing your building (healing your health bar slowly from any damage taken during the level.) Unibombers are made specifically for exploding and wiping out a mass quantity of enemy units. The more you add into that section is pretty much just the more unibombers you add to the field, note if you explode one you explode them all due to a chained explosion. So it's most wise to just add one when the time is necessary. As you progress through the levels, the game gets more difficult, almost to the point of impossible or to the point of the need of 3 other players. I almost forgot. When you play multiplayer. The person who scores the most points, get appointed king for the next round. The king controls the which units go into which tower, and the king gets to use the spells givin to them by the mages.
Final thoughts / Rating:
Well the game is definitely unique, but I feel the game isn't meant to be on a console, sure the game can be addicting when you have 3 people over that are willing to play it with you. After awhile of playing it gets boring like most flash games. Though only 5 bucks, I feel like it could have been put towards a better game like the legend of zelda, kirby's adventure, or any other game that costs 500 wii points. The game isn't all that bad, but i mean. If you feel like zoning out for hours with your friends killing stick figures, by all means download the game and make it happen. I feel this game could of had a little more potential, maybe something to make it a tone better then the flash version. (which is free btw.) I really don't know what to rate it, because i do find the game a bit fun. I really don't know how long that will last though. So I'm giving this game a 6.0. The game isn't bad, but it isn't good. The only thing that puts it over a 5 is that it has a pretty good multiplayer and the fact that when someone starts up a wiimote they're automatically in the game ready for stick figure killing action. so again 6.0.
