Apocolyptic Defenders

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Short Hard Game

Will add more level choices later
but currently is a 15 min long game that only 3 teams (to my knowledge) have ever beaten...

Added more stuff... i.e. Hero Choices (like people wanted)

Join the Hall of Fame... & send me your victory Replay of the game to "[email protected]"

Good Hunting!

No, this won't get approved. Use our Map Dev forum for further work on this map. Almost nothing had changed from the previous version. 1/5.

wow xD While the game is quite basic, its actually quite fun to play :D

I reckon it could do with some harcore balancing though :p If the party gets wiped out, when you respawn, your surrounded by creeps and dont stand a chance xD I can see why hardly anyone beats it :p

My personal suggestion would be to add difficulty levels, eg, easy medium hard :)

great map though! :)

I rate this resource by 2/5 and I suggest it for Pending because of lack of quite important stuff.

1. There is no credit list for the custom materials that had been imported to your map.
2. Objective telling players exactly what to do, do not exit.
3. Why my hero already has all abilities learned? Where's fun in that? I believe you should make it learnable.
4. Description of map and at THW is lacking.
5. Impressively developed abilities of the main building, but it misses their Hot-Keys notice.
6. Main building has a passive ability that has BTN type of icon, it should be PAS instead.
7. Burning Arrow (B) and Blink Hot-Keys confuses.

Map is very simple and not original, it misses somethnig special.

I played this map and it`s really imbalanced. Some spells don`t work at all. Some hotkeys are the same.

There is no hero. I don`t know how rate at this map, but if I would, it would be something like 1.5-2.5.

lol, shouldnt it be APproject that wrote the quote you posted?

anywho, I think with the map could do with some more upgrades and possibly a range of classes to choose from :)

The map shows potential, but theres lotsa stuff that needs improving :)

So far
Thanks 4 all comments
The Difficulty choices i temporairly removed because there is a problem w/ the triggers that i have yet 2 fix (been busy)

I dont plan on adding a character choice... mainly because this isnt really a map i plan on spending a lot of time to make

Finally: This map i spent all of... 2 hours on... so for a 2 hr map, it has actually done quite well.

some of my other maps ive spent over 400 hours on... 1 which i will b adding to Hiveworkshop once i find the Trigger error and i give credit to ppl on this cite
LOOK FOR -- The Maelstrom Arena -- when i release it...

This seems like something for me ;)
I believe it is Apocalyptic, though (I'm actually certain it is).

I'm not going to give a full review, but a list of the things that are lacking.

Lacking Things

  • Leaks haven't been removed
  • No credit-list
  • Hotkey confusion (as said before)
  • No items (no one to carry it either :p)
  • No choices (spells, units, items, difficulty)
  • Bad description

Well, since you aren't going to update this, I think 2/5 would be the final rating.
Add the credits and it will be approved.
