ITS JUST SPAMMING YOUR DISC !!!. Quite interesting. For what at first seems like a mobile port of a Tower Defense it's actually more like a turn based strategy game with really unusual cartoon characters. The multi-game mode is unorthodox and interesting.. The game at this point plays like an early beta release...Throughout the campaign mode the already weak dialogue is riddled with basic spelling errors, the game crashes occasionally, and when you try to create an account to play the online multiplier you are actually linked to a barren site that simply says "Coming soon". (See for yourself at their link - mecho.net) It is disengenious and borderline criminal to release the game in this state and to charge 9.99$ or the $4.99 I myself purchased it for.I would urge anyone considering buying the game to wait until these egregious issues have been resolved.Edit: Just wanted to share perhaps the best dialogue of the game so far, this is a direct quote: "And well... you what he can do... snoooort" (Screenshot of this genius line in my profile). This garbage freezes whenever i enter a skirmish. trying to access the menus to do anything during the game starts a seperate game which then freezes and crashes the entire thing. i had to relaunch the game no less than 8 times to accumulate the 5 minutes of gameplay I needed to review this garbage and warn you guys. Not worth it for any price.. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went into this game, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. It features some beautiful artwork and a rich storyline, though it does end abruptly and leave on a cliffhanger; more on that in a moment. It's an RTS style, turn based fantasy game and for the most part, it's balanced. You can use water, air, and land units and the goal is to capture various command points, including factories and capitals. Depending on what you control depends on how much income you get per turn and thus what you can buy. There is a unit cap, directly related to how many factories you own, so it keeps the game from getting insane; more on that in a moment too. Overall, its dark, steampunky themes and dramatic story are quite enjoyable, but be warned achievement hunters, multiplayer is DEAD.As for the storyline, it ends abruptly. There are three chapters, each with multiple levels, but it ends just as the game feels like it's starting to take off. I hope for a sequel, but I'm not so sure if we can expect one or not. From a writer's standpoint, it's well written up until its end, but it fails to progress further so...not so cool. It would be like picking up a book and only getting a couple of chapters versus the whole story. I'm one for cliffhangers and making me want to dive into the next bit, but I fear the next bit isn't going to come (fingers crossed I'm wrong and it does). The mechanics of the game are fairly easy to learn and the first few missions do in fact teach you about the different types of units and essentially how to play the game. AKA: The tutorial is worked into the game. That being said, after playing for only a short bit, I realized a major flaw. A unit can only attack one other unit per turn. You might spend 900 and get a tank, but then I can spend 300 and spawn 3 little infantry units. Sure, you blow one up, but by the time you go for the third, I've already traversed the map and taken your capital. It's easy to win if you spam the enemy with the little guys. The only way I can see as a correction for this is to cap how many of what unit you can have. So say, you can have a max of 8 but only 3 can be little infantry dudes. However, this might only be important if the multiplayer was alive.Multiplayer is dead and I mean DEAD. I managed to get a friend to jump on and help me get the multiplayer achievements, but there is literally no one playing it. I even posted in the forums, but never heard back from a soul. Not to mention, it looks like no one has been active there in quite some time. It's unfortunate because I think it could be a nice little game to jump on now and again. So, keep in mind if your an achievement hunter to have someone in the wings willing and able to play multiplayer with you. I also don't like how you have to scroll to invite a friend to play with you. Some of us have several friends and it can be hard and tedious to locate them! A search bar or even a filter of only friends who own the game would be nice...again, would only really be applicable if multiplayer wasn't so dead.Pros:+Lovely, steampunk-fantasy artwork+Diverse units+Epic music +Interesting storyline and well written for what is there+Great gameplayCons:-Dead Multiplayer-Storyline cuts off abruptlyMehs:~The swarm of punies could be problematic in multiplayerOverall: 8.5\/10. If you buy it on sale (and don't mind stories that end on cliff hangers) it's a good turn based strategy game that's easy to pick up and plays a bit with the traditional rock-paper-scissors by creating 4 classes of troops.. This is an excellent grid style turn based strategy game. I wouldn't call it an RPG, because none of your troops level up or anything like that. This game plays very similar to Advance Wars on the GBA, where you capture locations to earn money, which is used to purchase units. All the different units have different strengths and weaknesses against other units, and the game offers an excellent tutorial explaining each one.This game has a very unique visual style that reminds me of a robotic fantasy world. I've never seen anything like it. The artwork is crisp and colorful, and the game has a very HD look to it. It supports a variety of display resolutions and audio settings. The music and sound effects are very average, and the game has typos in the english language. I also found the game to pause briefly a lot regardless of visual settings before unit attacks, but for the most part this was pretty minor.I should mention that the unique menu system in this game can be moved around if you click the mouse and hold the image and pull it to the left and down. You will find visual options and the exit game button with this method of menu interaction. It's rather unusual and not very obvious.This unique menu system allows you to play a campaign mission while searching for a game room to join online and hosting one at the same time. You can then easily switch between the game windows and monitor many in progress games or online game searches. I think it's really useful.If you like such games as Shining Force, Galaxy Admirals, or Advance Wars, you won't be dissappointed here. This is a solid turn based strategy game and deserves much more notice than it seems to get.I picked this game up while it was on sale for $1.09 CDN and I found that to be a great deal. Even the current full price of $5.49 CDN is decent for what you get here.Recommended!. game isn't loading n not letting me play someone plz help me. Turn based strategy with rock, paper, scissors type units. There are 3 scenarios total, a skirmish mode, and it has multiplayer. The story is poorly written, and the writers didn't bother to even bother to spellcheck "thier" work.The AI is very terrible in both the scenarios and the skirmish mode. Game is very easy on skirmish mode and at least the first 2 out of 3 scenarios (didn't bother to play the last one).The steam trading cards did drop very quickly. If you have a friend willing to play this as well, it would probably be an easy game to 100% achievements on. I haven't tried the multiplayer, but the multiplayer achievements didn't look tough.. This is a nice little turn based strategy game. It borrows heavily both in gameplay and in style from Advance Wars on the GBA but Desert Ashes is a bit more basic. Not that it suffers from that, in my opinion. Sometimes a bit of lightweight turn based strategy is just what I want. It has come on since some of the 2014 reviews. I haven't noticed any bugs and the campaign maps don't require a return to the main menu screen any more. It's got a nice automatic save-game, which even saved the state of play when the game crashed once (I Alt-Tabbed). All in all it's quite polished and does what it does well. It has some nice little touches like the ability to jump to any battle in the scenarios and the way it will save every unfinished game - even if you have several. The only negative points are that you can't bypass the cut-scenes which can be a bit annoying when you are playing a scenario for the third or fourth time, the limited scenario battles (though it has a skirmish mode) and the rather basic AI of the computer opponent. So not for hard-core strategists but good fun for a quick turn-based blast if that's what you are after.
