Legendary Hoplite

[h2]敵ばかり楽しそうなインベーダーゲーム[/h2] [hr] [b]良い点[/b] 敵の種類は豊富で、横移動したり遠距離攻撃したり、敵をバフしたりワープしたりと、戦略を練る楽しさは少しありました。 [hr] [b]悪い点[/b] ステージ2以降の全て。 装備は瞬く間に上がるステージレベルによって恐るべき速度で陳腐化します。 事実上、得た装備を次々切り替えるハック＆スラッシュですが、他で得られるような爽快感はありません。 なんとセット装備があるにも関わらず一式揃えることができません。ゲームとして未完成です。 スキルポイントを得て自身を強化するにはチャレンジをクリアする必要があります。 チャレンジの多くはスキル使用禁止、レア装備禁止、一部タワーの使用禁止、敵を一体も通すな……退屈なゲームプレイの幕開けです。 「○○しろ！」のような能動的にクリアを目指すミッションは少なく、多くの場面で自分のビルドを否定してきます。 ファーム効率も悪く、リソースを得るためには膨大な周回時間を必要とするでしょう。 そうして強化した味方は、圧倒的な敵の質量の前に紙くずのように脆く崩れ去ります。 頼りない味方に変わって自ら手を下そうにも、今度はスタミナ制が足を引っ張ります。 攻撃し続けることはできず、そもそもの火力も心もとないです。 [hr] でもそんなあなたでも大丈夫ですよ！ このゲームには[b]ピースフルモード[/b]があり、敵の攻撃を完全に無効化できます！ ……事実上の[b]バランス調整放棄宣言[/b]です。 これですら敵が固く、処理が飽和する場面がありました。 [strike]絶対テストプレイしてないだろ。[/strike] [hr] パーツパーツで見れば面白くなる要素は多くみられましたが、恐ろしいバランスが全てを消し飛ばしています。 どれだけ割り引かれていようが[b]買うべきではありません。[/b] 追記：セット装備は2週目の追加ステージで揃いましたがこの作りで周回前提だった事に驚きを隠せません。

Legendary Hoplite, developed by TripleBricksGames and published by Ravenage Games, is a captivating blend of tower defense mechanics and action RPG elements, set against the rich backdrop of Greek mythology. Players assume the role of Dio, a young commander entrusted with defending the city of Ithaca from relentless waves of mythical creatures and hostile tribes. The game’s narrative slowly unfolds as Dio uncovers the ancient forces stirring beneath the surface, weaving an engaging story that complements the intense combat and strategic gameplay. This fusion of myth and gameplay creates an immersive atmosphere that both fans of mythology and action strategy games can appreciate. The gameplay strikes a delicate balance between thoughtful planning and active engagement. Players are tasked with placing defenses strategically and summoning allies to hold off enemy advances, but they also directly participate in battles, wielding various weapons and godlike powers. This dual approach keeps the experience dynamic, requiring both quick reflexes and careful foresight. Progression is handled through an upgrade system that allows customization of Dio’s gear and abilities, offering a satisfying sense of growth and adaptation as challenges increase in difficulty. This depth encourages experimentation with different strategies, making each playthrough feel unique and rewarding. Visually, Legendary Hoplite draws heavily from classical Greek art, with detailed environments and character designs that echo the heroic style of ancient mythology. The levels are distinct from one another, featuring unique aesthetics that reflect the mythical themes and the dangers players face. Character animations are smooth and fluid, while the special effects for abilities add a vibrant flair to combat sequences, enhancing the overall immersion. The art style not only establishes a strong identity but also enriches the storytelling by visually tying the player’s journey to the mythic world. The audio design is another strong aspect, with an orchestral soundtrack that evokes the grandeur and epic scale of ancient Greek tales. The music underscores the tension and drama of battle, while crisp sound effects—like clashing swords and roaring beasts—bring the fight sequences to life. Voice acting adds further personality to the characters, though at times the delivery feels slightly rigid, which may momentarily pull players out of the experience. Nonetheless, the overall soundscape contributes significantly to the game’s atmospheric depth. From a technical standpoint, Legendary Hoplite is well-optimized across multiple platforms, including the Steam Deck, ensuring smooth performance for a wide audience. The user interface is clean and intuitive, guiding players through its complex systems without overwhelming them. However, some players have noted occasional bugs and glitches, particularly related to progression and level transitions. While these issues are not game-breaking, they can interrupt the otherwise fluid experience, indicating room for improvement in future patches. Replayability is strong due to the variety of difficulty settings and the expansive customization options available for gear and skills. This encourages players to revisit levels and try out different combinations, adding longevity to the game. The developers also offer a free prologue, allowing new players to sample the mechanics and style before fully committing, which is a thoughtful approach to onboarding. In summary, Legendary Hoplite delivers a compelling and fresh take on the action-strategy genre by marrying tower defense with action RPG combat within a vividly realized Greek mythological setting. It balances thoughtful strategy and engaging combat, wrapped in a beautiful art style and an evocative soundtrack. While it has minor technical flaws, its depth, narrative, and unique gameplay make it a worthy addition for gamers interested in mythology-inspired adventures and hybrid game mechanics. Rating: 6/10

要不是不能退款了我絕對會退款。垃圾遊戲都開和平難度了我還需要打一小時，什麼狗屁垃圾玩意。 不推薦，遊戲難度曲線太高，這只是個單機單人塔防遊戲而已不是什麼艾爾登法環、黑神話之類的真沒必要弄的那麼累人。 特別是升級消耗金幣實在太高，人物升級點數太少。進場後建築類能量消耗又太高升級過的建築要蓋好真的很磨人甚至到收場都沒辦法好好蓋好。 知道你是要玩家去刷裝備，但你裝備給的也很少甚至詞條很爛，你是要我花多久時間刷？ Not Recommended The difficulty curve is way too steep for what is essentially just a single-player tower defense game. This isn’t Elden Ring or Black Myth: Wukong—there’s really no need to make it so exhausting. In particular, the gold cost for upgrades is far too high, and the number of character stat points you get is too few. Once you’re in a run, the energy cost for buildings is also excessive, and even upgraded buildings take so long to construct that by the time you’re finishing a run, you still can’t properly build them out. I get that you want players to grind for gear, but the drop rate is very low and the affixes/rolls on equipment are often terrible. How long exactly am I supposed to keep grinding?

The game was actually fun. I enjoyed it, even the inventory management is buggy on using controller. But I end up getting the stuck bug on NG+ that the stage didn't finish even all enemies are gone The game idea is not bad, but the game is so buggy. The UX is bad on controller even it's full controller support. The bugs that couldn't let player progress any further are critical, but no support from dev

Tower defense stiline gönül verenleri çok da tatmin edebilecek bir oynanışı yok.

As other reviews have said, from Chapter 2 onwards the balance gets screwed up and you just get frustrated with it. It's like they did the demo well and then it was just a rush to get it released without testing it or they grew to hate the players and got petty with the design, who knows. But, in their defense, if you like challenges, you'll love this because it does challenge the player - to keep playing.

慢慢的玩，到现在才一周目结束，刚准备开始二周目，结果居然在二周目第一关第七波打完就卡死了点不了提前出怪，等好几分钟也不出怪，重启游戏，重启电脑还是没能解决

Clunky controls, visually noisy screen that makes it so you can miss enemies, and grinding. No, I wont play the same level over and over to advance.

gg

the only types of "difficulty" in this game are either: 1) your numbers aint big enough 2) annoying mecanics
