So for the few of you who read my blog on a consistent basis, you will have noticed that I haven’t been writing much the last few days. Well, its the holidays and I’m celebrating like everyone else. But don’t worry, normal writing schedule will be back in early-mid January. Meanwhile,I will be writing every once in a while like I’m doing now. Today’s review/walkthrough comes from a reader’s request for the tower defense game Viking Defense from Miniclip. This is an extremely challenging TD game with lots of upgrades, towers, and structures. Enemies come in three types — either floating, underwater, or flying and certain towers only shoot and certain types of enemies.
The picture above is my build just before I beat the second map. Platforms, and the Thor Hammer where quite clutch in my victory. I do not think this build is the best type of build though. Ideally Catapult should always go in the very middle to cover maximum area and they should be upgraded with the rune that lets a bullet target a different enemy is the one it is currently targeting is killed. The basic towers and the air towers should be grouped together according to their type. Concentrated fire is much better than spread apart fire. Either upgrade these with the shorter reload rune or the extra damage rune. Also in each group of towers, there should be 2-3 ice runes and 1-2 fire runes to slow enemies down. Many towers and buildings have to be unlocked and you should unlock them as soon as you can because they give you access to runes and abilities. The “Thor hammer” ability is very crucial to success. To get you started and show you how to dominate. I’ve posted 2 videos below. One for the first map, and one for absolute ownage. Enjoy.
Black Knight Insurrection is a fun puzzle game where you are a knight and you must collect the star following a series of paths and moves. Your movement is regulated to a knight’s movement in chess across the board and using this movement, you must get yourself to the star. There are a series of portals and other special tiles to complicate matters and make this game a very challenging play for an afternoon.
Games like this are also frustrating but rewarding when you finally come up with an answer. If your having trouble, check out the video walkthrough below for the first seven levels.
Sonic RPG 2 is a fun game where sonic and his friends fall into another dimension, one with a “light side” and a “dark side”. Unfortunately, Seelkadoom is here too and has teamed up with the evil emperor to cause havoc. Sonic meats the emperor of the light side, Night, and together they go to find the holy Sapphire to face Reala and Seelkadoom. They have a brief fight with the guardian and win(you play this fight). For this fight it doesn’t matter how you fight, you get the Sapphire, but unfortunately, the evil dude comes and steals it before you can take it.
They chase Reala and he drops the Sapphire. Sonic goes after Reala. Sonic loses to Reala(it doesn’t matter what you do) but Night has reclaimed the Sapphire.They meet Knuckles, but he doesn’t come with them since he’s just interested in a way back home. Now, with the Sapphire, Sonic and Nights go in search of Seelkadoom and Reala. Meanwhile Shadow is getting pwned by Seekladoom in Reala’s castle. There the movie ends.
This walkthrough is for the escape game Pyramid Escape. You are basically trapped in the bottom level of a Pyramid and have to escape the room. If your having trouble, look at the video walkthrough below:
Star Baron is a fun strategy game that is reminiscent of Nano wars where your stars generate resources and ships and you must send them to other planets to take them over from the enemy. There is a lot of strategy to this game as there are many types of planets and you must make use of each of them to be successful in the game. In particular, the defensive and economic planets are extremely important as you have to set these up right in order to produce more money(so you can have more ships and to act as a defense matrix for your other stars.
At the beginning of the campaign you will only have access to regular stars but as the campaigns go on, you’ll start to get access to specialized stars and thats where the fun begins. The first 3 levels or so, you can just group all your ships together, take over neutral stars, and then take out the enemy stars. You start with a tactical advantage, so these missions are easy. Starting with mission 4, you may not be able to do this. You will have to be better at micro-management. You will need to send ships to your stars that are under attack and micro where you send each star’s ship in order to take out weak enemy stars for you to gain an advantage on the field. You start out with a tactical disadvantage and will have to control your stars, take out the weak ones first before taking out the bigger ones and take advantage of opportunities right after the enemy attacks to gain the upper hand. As soon as you get access to the specialized stars, use them to your advantage. Put the defense stars in front, the AI will try again to take these but will fail. Then put cash stars in the back to boost up your economy with some naval stars in the middle. When your line advances, use the new stars as defense and convert the original defense stars to regulars, naval, or cash stars. Throw a few mining stars in there as well. Using this strategy is pretty successful. I advise you play on medium and fast speed as that is the mode I like to play on.
Enigma is a fun block sliding puzzle game where you have to bend your mind and find a way to slide all your blocks into the defined shape. The challenge is that some of the blocks are extremely large and block the way for other blocks and figuring out where they fit inside the shape is not too easy a task either. On the later levels, it will take a long time for you to reshuffle so you can get the blocks to fit in where they belong. For those of you looking for some achievements, I’ve posted the first 10 levels of “square” below. Click the “Click me, I am a walkthrough” to see.
Snafu Tower Defense is a basic “build your own” path tower defense game with a military theme. There are a couple of tower choices with 5 levels of upgrade each. In comparison with other tower defense games, its pretty basic — which is probably why most casual players will like it. The basic strategy is also very simple which mainly consists of building artillery towers, SAM towers, and mortar towers, at least through the first few levels.
I’m written a walk-through below that gets you through the first three maps. Since upgrades are linear in this game, I don’t see why this strategy wouldn’t work in the later levels either. Click the “Click me, I am a walkthrough” link to see.
Level 1: This level is pretty easy if you just build your maze right. I did it with upgrading the machine gun through most of the level, but I would advise you instead of building and upgrading machine guns, to build 2 artillery, 1 mortar, and 2 SAM to beat the level with. Upgrade everything evenly and use the same layout I’m using and you will win.
Level 2: You have to build the maze right in this level and make the longest path possible. Ditch the machine gun turret you see in the picture and build another artillery in its place. Also stick another SAM tower somewhere in there and you should be fine. Upgrade evenly.
Level 3: Use the road blocks carefully in this level. Note that at the top I built one barrel/roadblock thingy every other square to make for maximum travel distance. Build a 2nd SAM in the middle. I also ended up building an EMP and a microwave gun, but its better if you just build one more mortar and artillery instead. Upgrade evenly as always.
Mini Defense is a basic no-frills tower defense games that uses shapes as its towers and creeps. At first the look of the game turns you off, but after playing for a while, you’ll see it has superior game-play than most other tower defense games. My main knock on it is that it is too short with little to no replay value. Figure out the game if you can but I’ve written a basic strategy below to beat this game with, click on the “click me, I am a walkthrough” link to see it.
Ok, first of all, the image above was my final tower placement I beat the game with and that creep being shown is indeed the last wave. Unlike the other TD walkthroughs I’ve done, I am not going to post a bunch of pictures for this one because its pretty simple and straight forward. To start the game build a heavy hitter(the green tower) and a sniper tower(yellow tower near the purple one) in the places shown above. Then store your money and save to build an ice tower(blue) near the green tower. Before the first boss, upgrade the sniper tower as much as possible as getting some of the first level upgrades for the heavy hitter. You will need good upgrades on the sniper tower to be able to kill the first boss wave. After the first boss wave, upgrade the sniper tower some more and the ice tower. You may also want to upgrade the damage on the green tower to level 2 or 3, but not too much. Also upgrade the range and speed of the ice tower, but mainly focus on the sniper tower. This will get you past the second boss. Use the money from the 2nd boss to build a tesla tower and upgrade the range, and power, and cooldown as much as possible for the next few waves. There is one wave that you will not be able to even come close in killing. Most of them will get away, but its ok, you will gain a bit of money and still have about 70 health left afterwards. After that, build one more sniper tower and upgrade range, power, and speed, to the first level and two more ice towers to upgrade the range. Focus most all your money on the first sniper tower and the tesla tower and you should easily be able to beat the game that way. Good luck!
Reincarnation ADDO is a fun point and click adventure game with a very unique storyline that I found quite amusing. ADDO stands for “A Demon’s Day Out”. The premise of this game is that there is a heaven and a hell and reincarnation only applies for those who don’t get into heaven. Lucifer collects these souls into hell where he runs his operation. However, God, in his great mercy, has put a bunch of “reincarny” portals all over hell so the souls can go back to earth and redeem themselves. If Lucifer loses enough of these souls, God will shut down his operation.
So when a soul goes through a “reincarny” portal to try and redeem itself in a new life, Lucifer sends a demon after it to kill that person before they can turn to the good side. You play the role of the demon whose job is to kill “reincarny” people and bring their souls back to hell. The plot is pretty funny so I suggest you watch it. The game is pretty good too and has its own laughs. If you are stuck however, I have posted a video walkthrough below. Click the “Click me, I am a walkthrough” link to view it.
