Land of the Mage Lords

For a free, 1st try at a proper game, sort of thing, its fine. Took me under an hour to complete and most of it was fine. The bones of a decent game are here. You summon units that steadily move forward and attack anything in range and you have spells to damage, heal and protect. There are just a few levels but you can see the creator tried to make each focus on something, like fire spells or undead, and there are specific tools you should use to overcome each challenge. I mean its not exactly rocket science to figure out that in order to combat the fire spells I should use the protect from fire spell, but hey, it did mean I usually played each level twice and I did think a bit. The core idea is good! The graphics and sound suck, but that's fine. Really it bothers me more that the balance for a lot of stuff is off, like units are so slow and plodding but somehow made of tissue paper so I ended up just slinging damage spells straight at the enemy leader to win. Protection spells last 4 seconds but you don't know when the enemy will use their spells so you use it randomly instead of strategically. Ranged units are ten times better than melee, again mostly because units are so slow and weak that they never get to melee range. And lots of little glitches like units shooting at terrain instead of enemies. Overall, good attempt by the creator, and a great foundation for future games. Worth your time to check it out.
