What has happened to my Xeno Tactic!! D:
As before, the graphics are way cool. The game looks great. However...
I love Xeno 1. This is rough, though. It's an ok game, but it's not Xeno Tactics. It was frustrating!!! A few points:
-What's with the sound? The gun sounds have been replaced so now the vulcan turret sounds like it's thrown a fan belt.
-The turrets move too slow. By the time they rotate toward an enemy enough to fire, the enemy is well into the range and this cuts into the time I have to attack it.
-Sometimes they MISS! I had missiles and freeze shots miss and even pass over enemies!
-Turret upgrades: Having to choose one part to power up sucks, and then it stops at level 10! NOOooooo...!!!!! I dont want to have to choose what area to upgrade; upgrade it ALL, power, range, AND speed!!
-And there's not enough money to buy turrets and upgrade them. I BARELY passed Noob level cuz I was always out of money. And only a few turrets were upgraded at all. Most were base.
-Why do the air enemies go a different direction? The field is only 10 squares for them, but is 20 squares long for the ground units. Make them all go the same way! That's my main pisser about Xeno 1, not a lot of time to attack air enemies, but at least they had equal space.
-There needs to be a better crossover between air and ground turrets. There are lots of ground turrets, but only 1 air turret. The 'BOTH' turrets dont do much damage, so they barely help. It's hard to get air turrets installed before they first aiships come, and if you have no money and no air turrets, you're screwed. That happened a lot.
-The level designs are rough too. You have too limited space to put turrets, rather than the whole floor like last game. And you have to pay to put an extra place to put a turret. In easy level, you can place turrets on both sides of the entrance, but only one set of guns will be in range to fire, so the others are wasted. If you put in walls, then you run out of money.
-By the way, you cant sell/remove walls, and that causes problems.
-Hold up there boy: Stop the automatic stuff. In Xeno 1, I could set up my first set of turrets and THEN start the game. Here, they just start coming automatically, unless you pause. I was trying to read the turret info in the upper blue box, and enemies started coming!
-So please change the timer for info in the blue box. If I'm looking at a turret, I need more than 2 secs to read the info, but that's all we haave before the info goes away, and that's not enough time.
**The reason so many people have such major issues with this game is due to the fact that we all love the first game so MUCH!! It was THAT good of a game!! Be proud of the first one. Please ... I dunno what to say about this one; change a few things and it'll be better, but Xeno Tactic 2 it is not.
