Even if it is only 59p, you shouldn't be made to pay for doing badly.

#Hexage robotek plus#
Hacking works far too well - I've lost count of the number of times I've seen the AI take over a level 3 unit with a level 1 hack, which feels like it should be pretty much impossible.Īnd while obviously it's Hexage's right to try and get paid for their work - plus they clearly have put in a lot of work - I'm not comfortable with the way the in-app purchases come uncomfortably close to punishing you for screwing up. Shock is staggeringly powerful given it damages a unit and always puts it out of action until you waste a turn repairing it - which isn't a guarantee. Why on earth can you keep getting extra turn after extra turn? Seriously, did no-one in QA think that would make it seem even more like the AI's cheating? And if you can't regularly roll 3 of a kind you're in real trouble - weak units are a liability given they're more of a threat to you than the enemy (because of the splash damage when they die versus the pitiful damage they do) and nine out of ten times repairing them does nothing (3 or 4 hp back is useless). On which note the basic gameplay seems badly unbalanced in some ways. Far too many times I've worn down the AI to nothing, then on the very next turn it dials up an elite unit, an Unmaker, a triple shock. So I won't pretend to know Robotek is dodgy - but at the same time, good God, does it ever feel wrong, wrong, wrong. I remember the number of people who insisted the AI in Puzzle Quest had to be cheating, no matter how often the developers said it used exactly the same maths to get its next pieces as the player did. I appreciate it's very difficult both for a developer to program and for a player to fairly weigh up an AI using a random routine. Do I believe the majority of players will manage it? Christ, no. Do I believe it's possible to finish the game without buying anything? Sure. Hexage have a real problem with setting difficulty. wanted to like this, I did, but I'm not impressed. Hope I get to play against you guys one day. These guys are definitely trustworthy though. This game could go far if they keep it fresh and/or add online play. Plus thats only about the cost of one of there games anyway.Īlso they agreed online play for this game would be amazing and I'm sure they will try to find a way to implement it soon too. Compared to other should I say greedy developers this a great value. Also the $3 purchase is a great value and will go a long way. They said they really don't want there users to feel forced so this would be a great way not too.Ī good strategy to use is: If you notice the stronger you get the weaker some stages get always look for orange over red on the world map.

They agreed it was a great idea and they will be releasing it in a future update(hopefully soon but I haven't come close needing it yet). Might be a little grindy if you keep losing but you can keep playing. Well I talk to the developers about making a few stages based on your lvl that lets gain 5 to 10 energy at time to keep playing free.
