Many people had the idea of "you control the villain", but this game actually delivers on that promise really well. It really feels like you're trying to overwhelm the hero with your minions! It's also really fun to place the monsters and to think about your strategy and about possible weaknesses of the hero.

Obviously there was limited time, but I feel like it would get exponentially better if the player had more minion types! Personally I also didn't figure out how to progress and get better minions, or that map with the castle that's on the itch page 🤔

The HQ raid should be a random chance but could be bugged, had no time to test if you even get it :D

Really Cool and interesting game, with stellar graphics. I love it especially because of the "Bugs", pun intended. ;-)

Very interesting, except for the bugs.

Very neat game! It was so exciting to see the new card show up after I defeated a few heroes, and I really enjoyed the concept of building up my deck with newer, stronger cards! The heroes raiding the HQ also made me feel like a villain, as the overwhelming force of heroes felt like a perfect send off to my reign of terror funnily enough XD Good work!

Cool concept - I felt like I was playing zerg in starcraft :) Shame about the game breaking bug, but no big deal. Comes with the territory and the time limit. Nice work!

Concept is excellent, shame about the bug. Feels like this could be a fantastic full game if it was fleshed out more.

It'd be nice if the tutorial explanation was in the game instead of on the description. And also sound/music of course. I don't understand what some of the different bars and numbers do, so some simplification could be helpful.

I hope you keep developing this one because I would definitely love to see what it could become if expanded to meet its full potential.

Neat game! The bug is unfortunate, but I think I managed to get an overview of it anyway. The back and forth between two forces is a great concept, however it seems to be balanced a bit much in the heroes favor and it's hard to strategically place your troops when the heroes run off-screen. Still, I can definitely see this being a fun experience with a fully realized version. Great job!

The game was fun and nicely executed! Looking nice , some music and effects would make it pop more, I like the idea of the different units and traits on heroes but I wish it was a bit better explained which does what. I'm not sure how the fight for HQ goes but it felt a bit repetitive, the missions where more fun.

I updated the itch page with a guide. Didn’t have the time for a tutorial. Wanted to make an interactive one.

Cool idea and use of the theme, a little hard to understand at first.

Submitted

Simeon RadivoevDeveloper320 days ago(+1)

yea has lots of stats, I updated the itch page with a guide, best I could do.

LlamaMoon GamesSubmitted321 days ago(+1)

Fun game but was a bit hard to understand, could have done with a tutorial at the start, as being thrown straight into a screen with so many things felt a bit overwhelming

Great stuff! My only gripe is that it is a bit tough to understand, and could benefit from an in-game tutorial.

PyryzerSubmitted321 days ago(+1)

This is a really impressive game to create in a game jam (even if the art is pre-existing). This has probably the largest amount of content of any submission i've seen so far. Also really fun and interesting strategy gameplay. I wish this had some music/sounds but I understand completely if there was not enough time for that. Still an excellent game!

Nice art and fun idea. I liked the first level and wished to play more :D

Submitted

Simeon RadivoevDeveloper321 days ago

once you kill too many heroes and collect a lot of cards the chances increase for a raid by the heroes and the roles get reversed, you need to defend your HQ. Too bad we can’t fix critical bugs.

Loved the visuals and the concept!

Lucas MorgadoSubmitted322 days ago(+1)

An awesome game, I'm sad with the game-breaker for not letting me test every card

Submitted

Simeon RadivoevDeveloper322 days ago

you can refresh the browser after each fight, progress is saved

Lucas MorgadoSubmitted322 days ago

ohhh nice, I'll do that then, thanks !!

squeakysquakSubmitted322 days ago(+1)

Personally just not a fan of reverse kind of tower defense games where you send monsters in waves to kill someone but its a well done version of that

Simeon RadivoevDeveloper321 days ago

Once you kill enough heroes and collect enough cards you will become the defender, and heroes will attack your HQ.

SandtastegreatSubmitted322 days ago (1 edit) (+1)

Although there are some bugs (it's to be expected, it's a game jam) the game was still playable and pretty fun as well! There are a lot of things you can do with this concept to expand the game if you ever decide to continue development after the jam is over (adding new cards/ levels/ having the environment play into the fights). Good game overall 👍

There is a game-breaking bug. Time stops after the first battle and is never reset. You can refresh the page or re-run the game your progress is saved after each battle.

This game looks promising (if you decide to continue working on it). Great art and gameplay =D
