1 00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:04,200 How many phobias but one of them is listening to other people's 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,500 phone conversations being trapped in a room with someone 3 00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:08,300 else. Speaking on the phone, just 4 00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:09,000 terrible. I don't know why. 5 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,300 I just make it like, inside, scroll. 6 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,600 It can you understand that or is that just completely baffling to 7 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,600 you? It's a sense of you don't want 8 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,600 to intrude and maybe over here, someone else's conversation. 9 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,200 Even if it is the most mundane called customer service, I can't 10 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,000 bear to listen to that conversation. 11 00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:26,100 Is it? Because you, I'm looks like hate 12 00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,000 talking on the phone, but I just project that hatred and the 13 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,200 person you're talking, it could be it. 14 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,000 Yeah, it sucks to be you. Every day is a struggle, welcome 15 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,300 to seven days to play your Weekly. 16 00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:40,000 Mobile game review program. I'm Edwin, and I'm Sam, and for 17 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,500 the past seven days, I had. What was that? 18 00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:46,500 And for the past that little bit too curvy, and for the past 19 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:51,800 seven days, I have challenged Edwin to play Kingdom, Rush 20 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,500 vengeance. It is a tower defense game from 21 00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:01,000 the good people at Ironhide Studios. 22 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,700 Now, I really thought the logo was a flaming turd. 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,100 Turtle turtle turtle upon S View. 24 00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:15,200 It is a turtle, not a turtle. It's like a robotic Armored 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,800 Turtle. Well, those Impressions right, 26 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,500 very good. Yeah, it's a great impression, 27 00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:22,300 right? It's little block of flaming 28 00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:25,700 something for you to start your adventures, but before we get to 29 00:01:25,708 --> 00:01:29,000 Second Impressions, mmm, hey guys, T is Gigi. 30 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,900 Oh my favorite segments, it is awesome. 31 00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:33,500 Some things I should just Google. 32 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:34,500 Okay. This means you have to do 33 00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:35,500 research. All right? 34 00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:40,400 Yeah. Hopefully, I'm just so well, oh 35 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,800 yeah, you ingrained. Yeah. 36 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,800 I'm plugged in plugged into the world of gaming and games Sam. 37 00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:48,200 Why a game is mad at Battlefield 5. 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,200 Ah, and also, what is Battlefield 5? 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,100 That'll feel 5 is the latest of the battlefield series which 40 00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:02,400 usually consists of really massive multiplayer battles. 41 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,900 So really massive, meaning like up to 32 players can play in one 42 00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:11,900 game This is obviously before Pub G became a thing and where 43 00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:15,000 you had 100 people, right? So the biggest crowds you're 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,300 able to get in like a single match was about 32 people. 45 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,600 I think, at one point they went up to 64. 46 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,700 I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but it was a 47 00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:24,600 pretty good number. So the thing about Battlefield 48 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,400 is that you have different classes. 49 00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,100 So it would range from most of the UK, it's like class to pay 50 00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:36,300 Society, you have your peasants and you have your Royals and you 51 00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:41,000 have your Untouchable snow. It was like, you'd be a medic. 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,100 You'd be a sniper, you'd be a ranger. 53 00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:48,400 You'd be a bum Madea this. The demolitions guy, right? 54 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,400 And I'm just a man, if you will. Yeah, and they ranged from, you 55 00:02:52,408 --> 00:02:54,100 know, different versions of one with them. 56 00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:56,800 One of the most like, suppose it Sylvester Stallone always it was 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,400 the Snipes. Who's the Demolition Man? 58 00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:01,500 Wesley Snipes is a Demolition, Man, but he wasn't away 59 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:03,800 Sylvester. Stallone is the Demolition Man. 60 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,700 But Wesley Snipes was also in the movie, right? 61 00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:08,500 Simon Phoenix. Yeah, my oh, he was. 62 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,300 Realize that no idea with the good guy or the bad guy was the 63 00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:15,800 titular, Demolition Man. I believe how much demolish the 64 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,400 city is in order to get the person. 65 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,100 You got to demolish a city. That's what I call Superman. 66 00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:23,700 It's true anyway. So I'm so sorry. 67 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,600 Carry on do Battlefield previously? 68 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,700 Had different versions. There was Battlefield. 69 00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:32,500 I think 1942, which was like a World War one style. 70 00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:36,600 So at all was like the classes World War Two but of Cold War to 71 00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:38,800 write whatever date. So what happened and then there 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,500 was Battlefield 2142, where was the future? 73 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:43,700 Where you had like feature weapons? 74 00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:45,500 So people really like that version as well. 75 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,900 So Battlefield like it. There's like think there's like 76 00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:51,800 16 games of them in total or something that crank them out, 77 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:53,100 right? And they've, you know, they've 78 00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:54,800 done the part where like, okay, let's start over. 79 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,500 It's a battlefield one now right after 16 different versions of 80 00:03:58,500 --> 00:03:59,800 it. So now they're on the fifth 81 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,500 iteration, Battlefield 5, I believe they return to World War 82 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:06,600 Two. That might be the thing. 83 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,200 Don't quote me. It might be World War one and 84 00:04:08,208 --> 00:04:09,400 world. I think it's World War Two. 85 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,000 And the reason why people are so angry is because the main 86 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,800 trailer for this thing featured a woman. 87 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,100 Oh what? Yeah, Boy And she was, you know, 88 00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:25,900 being a bad ass kicking ass taking names shooting guns. 89 00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:31,200 And, you know, there were comments like oh looks like EA 90 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,800 finally got rid of factual accuracy in order to make a 91 00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:39,400 Top-selling game. And that's my that's my the 92 00:04:39,407 --> 00:04:45,700 prettiest stupid gamer voice. And yeah it's absolutely 93 00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:49,100 ridiculous right? It's just an absolutely 94 00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:55,800 ridiculous claim to a fictional game that's based on fictional 95 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,300 accounts in history. Well, the war actually did 96 00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:01,200 happen but come on in a way. I'm sad. 97 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,500 I asked week, right? Anyway, I'm sad that I know 98 00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:07,700 this. Yeah, no one comes out. 99 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,800 Well, in this situation, tracking game exists. 100 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,600 People are angry. What else is new? 101 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200 Yeah, well, it covers pretty much every single new News 102 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,600 segment we ever had on the show. A game just came out. 103 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,700 Are people angry check. Check, let's move on. 104 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:25,300 Back to Kingdom Rush Vengeance. It is the fourth, I believe it 105 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:27,200 is. The fourth Kingdom Rush games 106 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,200 from Ironhide. Barely played the others. 107 00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:34,100 I've played too, because maybe two of the others, I think I 108 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:39,000 played Origins. Kingdom Rush Origins and the 109 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,300 original Kingdom Rush, okay. So I'm coming brand-new of 110 00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:44,100 course this because I don't know what game Saw. 111 00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:48,300 So it'll be interesting to see our respective experiences with 112 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,600 this because I felt suddenly me coming to it. 113 00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:55,400 There was a lot of expect the expectation was you kind of knew 114 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,700 what was going on. There wasn't much hand holding. 115 00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:03,900 Yeah it's it's strange because in this version of the game the 116 00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,500 you are now playing as the bad guys. 117 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,200 You are getting Vengeance on the other three games, right? 118 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,100 So in that aspect I feel maybe it could be confusing. 119 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,900 I'm Vis Nam. You are? 120 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,500 There's not, it's not on. I think everything else is 121 00:06:20,500 --> 00:06:22,200 pretty similar though. Like it is a pretty 122 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,500 straightforward tower defense game where you have to set up 123 00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,400 these little posts of things that kill people as they walk 124 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,400 along a path. Yeah, I guess I was surprised 125 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,500 because there is no. Tower to defend this merely a 126 00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:41,600 Gateway where the enemies go and it's the towers. 127 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,900 You put up that actually did defeat the enemy. 128 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,700 It's like there's a Finish Line. You need to just don't let the 129 00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:52,400 enemies get to the finish line but no Tower but you can place 130 00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:55,700 towers of your own and I guess that is what they mean by Tower 131 00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,800 Defense. Like you are making a defense 132 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,200 with Towers rather than Oahu defending the tower rather than 133 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,000 defending the tower. Yeah defend with Towers. 134 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:09,500 So I can see Is he not even? I can see how that, that term 135 00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:12,500 was a little confusing. Yeah, and having played Clash 136 00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:15,700 Royale, we all literally defending a tower, right? 137 00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:19,700 So if you played Clash Royale first, yeah, which I did, and 138 00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:23,200 when you understand that, that is a tower defense game, but 139 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,100 it's not really a tower defense game, you're defending your 140 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:29,500 Tower game, you're defending your bases game. 141 00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:33,400 I think our defense is more more along the lines of this game 142 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,300 which is okay, there's a set path, you can set up Towers 143 00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:37,500 within that. That path. 144 00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:41,900 And each tower has a certain range that can affect the people 145 00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:43,300 that are walking by. Right. 146 00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:46,400 And you have to Choose Wisely on the combination of things, use 147 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,500 your talents to defend. Yeah, hmm, okay. 148 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,900 However, what were your thoughts of this game Edwin? 149 00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:53,600 This is your first tower defense game. 150 00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:57,700 Yeah, coming from Clash Royale. I felt pretty much at home. 151 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,100 Has a similar visual style that you're instantly. 152 00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:03,800 Oh, I see. Is one of those games. 153 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,700 It's got some elements of chance where you? 154 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,700 Get power-ups. You have some strategy about 155 00:08:09,700 --> 00:08:13,700 what's called you have in your deck or what towers you have in 156 00:08:13,700 --> 00:08:19,200 your circle of tower. Selectors circle of fire Circle 157 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,900 fire, its lyrical of towers. That's the hidden the George 158 00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:28,900 Michael track, Alton Jumpin as you also have at like the big 159 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,500 Heavyweights defense, which they call a hero and you can and they 160 00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:39,600 also have different abilities. So the whole thing is just 161 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,900 balancing out your You are me as Moses all your defenses like oh 162 00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:47,500 well make sure there's enough air coverage. 163 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:49,400 Make sure there's enough ground coverage, make sure that it can 164 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,800 deal with magic. Make sure they can deal with 165 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,500 something smells just like really heavy, slow moving 166 00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:59,200 targets and stuff like that. So right and so it comes down to 167 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800 like the tactics of like kind of knowing what your enemies are 168 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600 right. It's usually a safe bet to try 169 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,700 and have a variety of different defenses because you know like 170 00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:12,100 one defense will just focus on your all. 171 00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:15,400 Pound attack, which is good. But it's not going to be strong 172 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,600 enough to get either the really fast moving guys or the really 173 00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,900 heavily. Armored guys having said that I 174 00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:26,100 would not g just like food for funsies, just try and playing 175 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:28,000 level. Just just using arches, right? 176 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,300 Have like a bazillion are three towers set up can and people do 177 00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:33,000 it's just that. Yeah, it's not going to be that 178 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,300 effective in. You're gonna have to spend a lot 179 00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:37,500 more money. Oh I want to try that but like I 180 00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:41,700 think for me what really sets this series off differently. 181 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,900 From other series that do tower defense is the hero system which 182 00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:47,500 is kind of cool. It gives you like this nice 183 00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:53,400 little ability to actually move around a character and and kick 184 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,500 ass. Right? 185 00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:56,800 Yeah. So that was something I quite 186 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,300 like because I think with we Clash Royale, you get your three 187 00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,600 towers and they're just there and that's it. 188 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,900 And that's all you can pretty much do. 189 00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:09,000 But there is an element of Mobility with your hero and in 190 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,100 Vengeance, you then, by default they are Near the Finish Line. 191 00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:15,300 Yes. But you can move them around. 192 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,100 Yes. Can you move them anywhere? 193 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,300 Or they've been anywhere on the map? 194 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,600 Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah I think I didn't use that 195 00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:24,500 tactic much. I kind of used it or when there 196 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,100 was two exits, a little bad things like an exit from the 197 00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:29,900 map. Don't let them get to the exit. 198 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Yeah. That's pretty much it. 199 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,700 They come in waves. So when they go on the left make 200 00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:35,600 sure you're here is on the left of the riot here was on the 201 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,200 right but otherwise in really experiment with moving my hero 202 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,800 around that much. Yeah, I kept them in action at 203 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,200 all times and it feels good. Getting a little bit too high 204 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,200 for him, I'd move them away before he died, but the cool 205 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,900 thing is like he levels up, right? 206 00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,400 You can add different items to him, you can buy different stuff 207 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,200 for him which kind of plays and along the lines of like, what 208 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,700 modern MOBA games. Do you kind of level up to 209 00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:02,000 character, you buy better items for them and they perform 210 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,100 better. So I thought that was a really 211 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:07,100 good touch. What was your favorite hero? 212 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,100 I think my favorite was varrick. The Good Old Reliable. 213 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,100 First hero that Up. Yeah, mainly because I could 214 00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:17,500 just like throw him into the mix into anything and he kind of 215 00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:21,000 survives that but he's quite slow to move those easy to plan 216 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,900 ahead when you need them to be somewhere else, right? 217 00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:27,900 What was yours. So I managed to unlock two 218 00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,700 additional Heroes. Got a search for the hero when 219 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:36,600 Stardust herself immense, unlock azra, who's trained in the dark 220 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,100 arts is a rogue ninja regular Center? 221 00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:44,300 Is that a game studio and Then I also unlocked. 222 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,600 Oh, lock the dark horse trainers. 223 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,900 Demon sounds like a Swedish developer and has a lock. 224 00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:56,800 Now Sam did. Because something I was confused 225 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,900 about is in addition to selecting which Towers you the 226 00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:04,000 five four or five towers and selecting a hero. 227 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:10,700 You also have three like in-game spells yes or actions. 228 00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:13,300 You can take that. We'll ask for a set amount of 229 00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:19,300 time and I was very confused as to how they got set, right? 230 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,200 But now that I'm looking a little closer, this Heroes page. 231 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,800 They also have little cards along the right-hand side. 232 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:27,600 Yep. I don't understand. 233 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,900 I don't understand. Oh, so along the right hand 234 00:12:29,900 --> 00:12:34,000 side, those are kind of like passive skills that your Heroes 235 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,300 will have your here is I think by default usually has like one 236 00:12:38,300 --> 00:12:42,000 active spells that they can activate right for us. 237 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Era as like that shadow dance right? 238 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,600 They can teleport and you can like enable that. 239 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,300 Hmm during the game. But along the side you'll have 240 00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:55,000 about five passive abilities. That the heroes will use. 241 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,400 Oh, I see. And then one of them is a thing. 242 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,200 You can actually play in game. No one. 243 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,100 Highlighted at the end in purple. 244 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,000 Yeah. This is becomes something you 245 00:13:04,008 --> 00:13:06,100 can play in game, right? Because we got the ruk, you can 246 00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:07,900 have little spear throwing goblins. 247 00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:11,400 That is confused your azra, you get and I yeah, right. 248 00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:16,400 Okay, A good authorial gist. Because my experience is, you 249 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,400 always have the shootie, big green goo from the sky. 250 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,500 Yep. You always have the little spear 251 00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,800 throwing horny horny, boys, horny boys. 252 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,400 And then you get a third one which now I see is associated 253 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600 with your hero. Yeah. 254 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,800 And it's the one, the last ability they have that has 255 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,400 little purple frame around it. There are different innate 256 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,700 abilities that you can use outside of the heroes. 257 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:49,100 Right that you can swap out. So there's lots going on here. 258 00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:51,700 There's a lot going on. And you get little swirly coins, 259 00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:53,600 which I have no idea how you get a parent. 260 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,200 I have to slowly coins. I can spend right now, by 261 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,200 Thunder where they come from, I think that you get, as you level 262 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,200 up, there is a lot going on. There is a lot going on, there 263 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,800 are, but I feel like they've organized it pretty well. 264 00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:11,200 It's not a mishmash of buttons all up in your face even as 265 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,700 someone completely new to this. It didn't ever feel too. 266 00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:19,000 Two bunkers, right? And even though there is no gems 267 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,300 and stars and swirly coins. Other first first play they do a 268 00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,900 good job of hiding that complexity from you. 269 00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:29,600 And then as you become more experienced You can then go 270 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,400 deeper and kind of truly understand the game a little bit 271 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,900 more. The presentation is really well 272 00:14:33,900 --> 00:14:36,200 done. Like it's they did that they did 273 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:42,700 a really good job of not only Introducing new players to what 274 00:14:42,700 --> 00:14:47,700 tower defenses, but also like the skills and the level ups and 275 00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:49,700 yeah, that must be. All right. 276 00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:54,200 Yeah, let's be a hard thing to balance of, especially if they 277 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,900 have three games in their pocket already, right? 278 00:14:56,900 --> 00:14:58,300 No, no. They gonna be appealing to 279 00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:01,000 existing audience but also trying to pull in new people and 280 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,100 getting that balance between, and I think that was the thing 281 00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,500 with this one, with the previous game, I think it was Kingdom 282 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:12,600 Rush Frontiers. I didn't really feel that I was 283 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,600 playing something different verses Kingdom. 284 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Rush, Frontiers versus Kingdom Rush. 285 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,200 Oh, wow. Yeah, Jackie Chan, Jackie And so 286 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,900 like you be good hero would be except he'd be such a passive 287 00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:30,600 fighter. You get rated on each of your 288 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,800 performances out of three stars and I know you. 289 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,500 So did you have to get three stars every level? 290 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,300 Yeah. Which I know sometimes can 291 00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,300 frustrate you because you have this feeling of you must be 292 00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:46,300 perfect at everything. I don't know where you get that 293 00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:47,700 from. Yeah. 294 00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:49,100 Did that detract from your joint? 295 00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:53,900 I think in the earlier levels and what I've played so far not 296 00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:59,900 really because I would just do more 110% and it would usually 297 00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:02,900 just get three stars in the first try. 298 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,900 And how many levels or which level are you on? 299 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,100 They don't actually number them for you. 300 00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,800 Yeah, you're gonna have to count them but I'm on. 301 00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:15,000 Dragons Boneyard, I am on. I'm I'm still very early on. 302 00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:17,400 Okay. I am in corridors of the old 303 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,100 city which is the third part of the map. 304 00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:24,000 So you want to third? I'm on the eleventh, 11th 305 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,400 battle, very nice. Mmm, the ball over here in ice 306 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,900 world or the the north, I've id'd the King of the North. 307 00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:35,200 I'm expecting Jon Snow to Canada and turns out. 308 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,600 He knows nothing Jon Snow. Hmm. 309 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,100 I was just gonna give away a spoiler but then I decided Not 310 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,300 too. Okay, let's get to the fewer 311 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:43,400 trees. Let's get to the three by 312 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,300 threes. First good point Edwin. 313 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,200 This is a fun game. Well, that's how you finally 314 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,800 chosen the game. I enjoyed. 315 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,500 Wow, I'm surprised not that. It's a contest but you know, it 316 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:58,600 definitely reminded me of clash Royale which I played a bunch 317 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,800 and then it kind of burnt out on didn't this style. 318 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,599 Also, kind of remind you of steam World heist in a way. 319 00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:08,900 The the art style Yeah, I suppose so yeah, you're right. 320 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:10,900 I think I mean not the Gameplay at all. 321 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,200 Yeah. So I started my that's why my 322 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,800 mind didn't make that connection. 323 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,000 But yeah, it has kind of cartoony. 324 00:17:17,099 --> 00:17:19,200 Little nice chunkiness about it. Yeah. 325 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,500 But nice fit and finish. Yes, you can definitely tell 326 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,000 this is like a very well polished game. 327 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,700 I can't quite describe how or why but just from the beginning 328 00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:33,000 you know these people know what they're doing. 329 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,600 Yeah this is not their first rodeo yeah. 330 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,500 All the transitions are really Booth. 331 00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:39,400 I think the art style fits it really well. 332 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Like, this is the first company that I saw that does tower 333 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,500 defense in this art style, meaning, like everything is kind 334 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:51,500 of nicely outlined and has like a three-point shading on it. 335 00:17:51,700 --> 00:17:54,200 Heats two-point shading, this one's nice three points. 336 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,900 Nice because it gets the highlights but like other 337 00:17:56,900 --> 00:18:00,000 companies try to emulate this and it just ends up looking 338 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,800 either too cartoony or like, really gel. 339 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,400 Like, and it doesn't really work. 340 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,000 And I think these guys definitely know the balance of 341 00:18:07,100 --> 00:18:11,400 it and it just works for them. It's kind of messy and neat at 342 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,000 the same time. Yes you had as a really good 343 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 description of it is messy and neat. 344 00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:17,900 I can get point. I really like the little 345 00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:21,200 interstitials and between the levels where it gives you a 346 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,500 little bit of the story I fell. Of course. 347 00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:26,800 Yeah. Not like there was just enough 348 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,700 to get you going right. Like in the beginning its you 349 00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:32,000 can just skip through all of it really quickly or you can take 350 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,100 your time and actually see each panel as why did you skip 351 00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:39,300 through? But yeah, I think having those 352 00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:41,800 little things really makes it because in the beginning, like I 353 00:18:41,808 --> 00:18:43,600 was, why is this called Vengeance? 354 00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:47,400 And then it tells you your control of the bad guy, right? 355 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,300 Yes. You're like a hot tamale. 356 00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:52,100 You defeated in the previous game. 357 00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:54,600 Right. So now you understand his 358 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,700 motivation. Yeah. 359 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,600 Mmm. What about well, why am I doing 360 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,500 this? Oh, I see another good point. 361 00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:03,700 I think the, the animations in the sound effects are just well 362 00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:06,700 done. Like I can have a podcast 363 00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,400 playing in the background or music playing and still play 364 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,200 this and it really wouldn't interrupt it like the sound 365 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:18,000 effects weren't obnoxiously loud or clanky or disturbing. 366 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,900 It was actually just nice and pleasant, right? 367 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,500 And so they definitely kept a really good balance in terms of 368 00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:29,600 keeping things. Interesting, fun and playable at 369 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,200 the same time. Another good point. 370 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,100 Ed one, I like that. You get the option of different 371 00:19:34,100 --> 00:19:37,800 difficulty levels. Which I think works really well 372 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,100 in the steamworld heist and it, of course, it works really well. 373 00:19:40,100 --> 00:19:47,000 Here, I had the Cojones to choose normal or boys. 374 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,600 I'm Who I'm a professional games. 375 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,300 Reviewer got to level 3, but couldn't get past level 3, which 376 00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:57,300 I think is the one you're on. I see normal with normal and 377 00:19:57,300 --> 00:20:01,800 then feeling suitably chastened. I took it down to casual and 378 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,700 cause you Wallace. So that was a learning 379 00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:10,500 experience for me. No, I'm I'm as early as casual 380 00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,000 level think that's is, is my level 4 right now, right? 381 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,200 But, I like the tyke now can go back in Future. 382 00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:19,900 Ms. Yeah, play it on the more difficult levels. 383 00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:24,600 Yeah, you just too smart. This model Choice. 384 00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:26,600 Yeah, you do have to keep your fingers busy. 385 00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:30,100 That would be. My my tip is whenever you get a 386 00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:33,900 chance to upgrade or add a new tower, do it whenever you get to 387 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,200 use, the spell just do it, you know, just, you know, use all 388 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,000 the Spells. All the time because it has 389 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000 actually a fairly short cooldown, just keep mashing. 390 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,200 Those buttons in that likes, a like And subscribe button. 391 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,800 Smash that notification Bell, the would cool down going to be 392 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,700 warm up. Let's not get into that. 393 00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:58,900 Yeah, three some background reading on this. 394 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,100 They were talking about, oh, you can this cool queer little quick 395 00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:07,000 and your cooldown period? Mmm, that's really what, that's 396 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,500 true. You warm up because you're 397 00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:10,800 getting ready to getting ready to do something. 398 00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:14,000 Yeah, rather than stopping doing something anyway. 399 00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:15,900 No, no, no. You know, that just tripped me 400 00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:21,000 up as a not professional gamer. But yes, the basic the amount of 401 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,700 time it takes before you can use that thing again, right? 402 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,700 It should be a warm. But yeah, it's now you got me 403 00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:30,100 all thinking about this. So with that onto the bad points 404 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,600 enemies come in waves, which I think is pretty much standard 405 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,500 for these Tower Defense games. Yes. 406 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,800 And the first level I got five hordes you. 407 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,300 Okay. Cool. 408 00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:41,800 That's fun. You know, you can get through 409 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,400 that in about five minutes second level. 410 00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:45,600 Oh, that's 10. Okay. 411 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,000 So you know a little bit longer, okay? 412 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,500 All right. All right, I can deal with this 413 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:55,800 next level, 12 level at 15 and now Every single level I play. 414 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,500 There's 15 waves of enemies. Mmm which is a long time. 415 00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:01,500 It is a light. Yeah. 416 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,300 Which it took me more than one commutes to finish a game. 417 00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:08,300 Oh boy because I got on the train and get a seat. 418 00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:10,100 Some like her are this is perfect Kingdom. 419 00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,500 Rush Vengeance opportunity Kingdom Rush hour. 420 00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:18,500 Then try this. Yeah it's about a 20. 25 minutes 421 00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:22,700 Abreu subway ride. Didn't finish it, huh? 422 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:28,600 And so now, the other thing is, there's no explicit save button. 423 00:22:28,700 --> 00:22:31,300 Yeah, which makes me nervous. I don't think I ever lost a 424 00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:34,500 game. But I would always, you know, 425 00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:38,400 just just out of sheer habit, just like, put on the options 426 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,100 menu because that felt like, if I had the options menu open, 427 00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:46,900 that would save it. Rather than just quitting out or 428 00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:48,700 shouting down the phone or popped right now. 429 00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:51,300 But it just just go putting the phone in my pocket. 430 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,600 So yeah, they look he's like a long time. 431 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,700 I wish there was a speed fire round or as you know you can 432 00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:05,000 make it say hey I just want to play a super quick round in a 433 00:23:05,008 --> 00:23:07,300 way that you know Clash Royale is that perfect like three 434 00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:11,600 minutes. The like buzz of dopamine to 435 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,800 play a 3 Min. Imagine you're done. 436 00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:16,400 Yeah, you're like oh boy I've got like 20 minutes and I'm just 437 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,400 noticing this and there isn't a way to speed things up. 438 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,700 No, you can summon the next wave, early right? 439 00:23:24,700 --> 00:23:27,200 Previous weight was finished and that will only some gold coins 440 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,800 but they don't walk any faster. Normally, in a lot of these 441 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:36,300 games these days, they do have a speed-up option, meaning like 442 00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:39,700 yeah because everything is being done mathematically, right? 443 00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:43,100 It's not actually happening so that when this particle hits, 444 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:46,900 this particle desk one, the other day got hurts, right? 445 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,400 It's all being done with the maths. 446 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,400 So technically, you can speed it up and you can just see how it 447 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,200 stimulates out, right? But this doesn't seem to have it 448 00:23:57,208 --> 00:24:02,100 for some reason and and other and other things like, that's 449 00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:03,200 where I found that really useful. 450 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,800 We're like, okay, I have everything set up. 451 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Yeah, let's just see how it plays. 452 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,100 Come on, bro. Yeah, but I guess not, I guess. 453 00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:13,300 The other part of that is, like, if that doesn't happen, then it 454 00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:15,800 kind of misses the point, right? It kind of misses the point of 455 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,800 view having Playing it, right? Like you're all you have to do 456 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,400 then is just like, set it up. Yeah, yeah. 457 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,200 I think that was as a first-timer to this, whereas, 458 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,200 with Clash Royale, you're just playing cards all the time, 459 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,800 right here. There's a little bit of 460 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,500 construction and set up and then there's a little bit of playing 461 00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:36,200 and then a little bit of construction and set up, and 462 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,700 then there's a little bit of playing, which I mean it's fun, 463 00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:42,100 but I just hadn't quite realized that was like the nature of the 464 00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:45,900 thing. And Yeah, there's the levels is 465 00:24:45,900 --> 00:24:48,700 take too long. Yeah, I definitely share that 466 00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:54,400 sentiment like It took me one day to play one level and after 467 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,100 that, I was kind of spent, right? 468 00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:58,300 Not that I took me an entire day to play. 469 00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:02,700 It's like this one session a day and then I'd be spent. 470 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,900 And on top of that, like, sometimes you play things over 471 00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:10,200 because you didn't get the three stars, you get the three stars 472 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,600 or like, oh, I didn't realize the enemies were coming from 473 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,600 that direction as well. Right? 474 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,900 And so all my defenses were set up on this side. 475 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,600 They're pretty pretty dang, sneaky. 476 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,700 These enemies. Yeah. 477 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,400 Come from all angles. But yeah, so it did take a long 478 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,300 time and I wish there was some way it was shorter but I think I 479 00:25:29,308 --> 00:25:33,200 don't think you get the full gaming feel of a tower defense 480 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,100 game if it was short. Yeah yeah. 481 00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:37,400 Is that just the nature of it? Yeah. 482 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,000 Could you have difficult? Yeah. 483 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,400 Like what would the but how would you change? 484 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,000 How do you make it quicker? You would have to have fewer 485 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,300 enemies but they deal more damage so you would have to have 486 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,000 Of more power. Yeah. 487 00:25:51,500 --> 00:25:53,600 Yes it's weird. Yeah, that's how I feel like you 488 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,500 know a speed-up session like a boost maybe my work. 489 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,700 I'm feeling good about it. Yeah another bad point Sam it 490 00:26:02,700 --> 00:26:07,400 did feel repetitive. Yeah after you played a couple 491 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,000 of levels it did feel especially for me like I'm coming to this 492 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,600 game the third time now. Yeah. 493 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,200 And while they made some improvements like you know the 494 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,500 heroes have Have a different skill tree or like you actually 495 00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,300 have a skill tree to like update like these different things, 496 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,400 more variations in Towers, it's still sort of the same tower 497 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:35,300 defense game and to play that level by level, by level it does 498 00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:37,400 feel. It can get a bit repetitive if 499 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,200 you like the genre. Then this is a great one to play 500 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,300 it on. But even then it can still be 501 00:26:42,300 --> 00:26:44,700 repetitive. Yeah, I felt the same. 502 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,100 It was fun, but I can't play this too much and especially 503 00:26:49,100 --> 00:26:52,700 with The weight of knowing oh, it's going to be a 25-minute 504 00:26:52,700 --> 00:26:55,800 game hoo boy. Oh boy, I think one way they 505 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,200 tried to keep it interesting. Was to have a whole bunch of 506 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,600 different kind of enemies, it felt like every level you would 507 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,800 have another four or five enemies introduced and I'm, you 508 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,600 know, on level 11 and there are still more new enemies coming 509 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,000 along. Which I think would be done to 510 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,300 make it feel fresh and new and we're going to keep learning but 511 00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:23,600 Ashley is kind of overwhelming and you I still don't really 512 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,100 know the difference or have a deep understanding of what these 513 00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:29,600 enemies are and how to counteract them. 514 00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:33,400 Hmm, I feel like oh well I'll just put some more towels up. 515 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,400 Yeah I wish they did something else with the map instead of 516 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,600 just having more enemy types. Like if they did something 517 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,100 creative of the map where You know, something we're actually 518 00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:47,900 changes their like shifts around, mmm, right? 519 00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:50,500 Like will do is like puzzle games to introduce elements, 520 00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:53,300 right? It gets you used to them and 521 00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:56,500 then they stop continuing to introduce elements but they 522 00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:57,900 change the setting. Right? 523 00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:00,600 So that you use the same elements in like different ways 524 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,000 and likewise a sense the like I think on a couple levels and 525 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,200 tries to do that like a ship turns up in one of them so they 526 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,500 tried to mix up a little bit but just a lot of enemies. 527 00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:12,200 Yeah and it's still need to learn them. 528 00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:17,000 I don't really understand the I still don't quite understand 529 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,400 what? My towers are good at verses, 530 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,600 all these on like more deeper level. 531 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,200 Yeah, one goes up. Yeah, one goes on the land. 532 00:28:26,700 --> 00:28:29,800 So, a way that certain games tend to fix this is, by 533 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,300 introducing the old paper rock scissor model, right? 534 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,900 Like water will be fire and then fire will be Earth and Earth 535 00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:42,300 will be water, right? And sort of like sets up those 536 00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:45,300 elements. So you can kind of gauge on 537 00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:47,600 like, okay, if this is going to be a water enemy, I need to set 538 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,900 a fire Towers or something like that. 539 00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:49,800 Right? Yeah. 540 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,200 And I don't think they kind of did this with with this are the 541 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,800 fence. Usually you get a sense of like 542 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,600 what those things are like if it's a fast creature like I need 543 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,200 to use slow right but then that's color coordinate in some 544 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,100 way. Yeah and I don't think they've 545 00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,100 done enough of that. I don't know if it needs it but 546 00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:10,300 like I think I think I know what you're saying is like it just 547 00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:13,300 seems like an endless iteration of enemies if it doesn't have 548 00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:15,700 some sort. System to base it off, right? 549 00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:17,700 And how to counteract them. Yeah. 550 00:29:17,700 --> 00:29:22,000 And you don't feel smart as the Emperor of War there were no. 551 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400 Oh, who I see as none? All right. 552 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,200 I'm literally fast, man. With my Cape. 553 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,500 Yeah, you don't feel like a super smart Evil Genius to go to 554 00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:34,000 say, oh, I see, you are mad polar bears. 555 00:29:34,100 --> 00:29:36,200 I must use magic against you, right? 556 00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:39,600 I've almost nitpick. Okay, DUI to move the hero you 557 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,500 need to tap tap the hero. You then, whenever you tap an 558 00:29:43,500 --> 00:29:45,900 end, Me, you get it'll pop up on the bottom of the screen telling 559 00:29:45,900 --> 00:29:49,600 you some steps about them, forcing the map, extends under 560 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,300 the UI, and so often, I wanted to move my character to the edge 561 00:29:54,300 --> 00:29:57,200 of that map yet I couldn't. Because now that'll pop up, 562 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,600 window covers the bottom area. Your bottom area. 563 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,600 Yeah. Did you know that you can zoom 564 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,400 in? I thought I could zoom in a 565 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,700 little bit. I don't know how much you've 566 00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:12,000 assumed I could do, but that's usually that could cover. 567 00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:13,900 Yeah maybe I didn't zoom in enough. 568 00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:15,700 I mean, it does the tap does go through. 569 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,700 Yeah. But it in the, in the heat of 570 00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:21,200 battle, it'll be pesky. Yeah, I can see that. 571 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,500 The other thing is you can tap on the guy by clicking his 572 00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:26,300 portrait. That is also nice. 573 00:30:26,300 --> 00:30:28,300 Yeah, that's also helpful. Yeah. 574 00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:33,500 And definitely more trickier when you have an iPhone x, Or an 575 00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,700 excess or 10s? Sorry, because you've got no 576 00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,600 borders because you have the little, you know, dismiss or 577 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,100 quit or home bar at the bottom. And sometimes if you if you tap 578 00:30:45,100 --> 00:30:47,400 it and your hand slips a little bit, then it closes out. 579 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,400 The game entirely touch Rift. Yeah. 580 00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:53,800 I have a lot of touch drift on my thumb. 581 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,100 Final 7 Day ratings. Am I really liked this game? 582 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,700 But even if I really liked it, I just didn't get it. 583 00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:04,700 A lot of opportunities to play with it mainly because the 584 00:31:04,700 --> 00:31:06,500 levels took too long. Yep. 585 00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,100 And me revisiting this game. For the third time in a row, 586 00:31:09,100 --> 00:31:12,500 gave me a little bit of fatigue. Mmm, I still like it, though. 587 00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,400 I'm going to continue on, but my final day rating is four days 588 00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:21,100 well like Kingdom walk Vincent's Kingdom. 589 00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:22,800 Ian?
