Battle Tanks
|
Key Concept | AoS - My favorite type of map. Starting off with the Loading Screen. There should be some pieces of information as in update log for example or you can put them into the Quests Menu. The User Interface is nice but try finding the wide version of it as the human UI combined with that tech UI do not blend well together . Multiple modes of gameplay are available to choose at the start, which is nice. Dying heroes status that go in revive time should be shown in the multiboard since they all die, their timer windows will merge because of the remaining space on the screen. See screenshot here: Imgur |
Gameplay | The gameplay is nice and fun, the tanks you can choose from vary in advantages and disadvantages but some of them are really too much. For example, the EMP shock ability from the Exploder Tank that sets his health instantly to 20% of its maximum amount. I know he has the Reconstruction ability to be instantly formed back but that does not save him a lot since he has already a really tiny amount of health. Some abilities have leaks since there were a lot of lag spikes during the gameplay.  Might be caused by the AI, though it shouldn't. The Psycho Laser item is just OP, it instantly wipes you out. Try increasing the attack interval of that item. The Multiboard is fine, it provides enough info of each player. Tower have their attack damage too high. 2 hits from a tower and you instantly die. The AI is ok. Is good for singleplayer testing. Some tanks do not have portrait animation. The Distributor tank for example. His third ability "Tankers little helper" is a passive but has an active icon. His first ability "Heat-seeking Missile" does not consume mana at all. It says it costs 4 mana points per use but the mana pool remains the same even after spamming the ability 10 times or more, and I didn't activate "Thereisnospoon" so it should have consumed my mana. Shredder's second ability "Magnetic Pull" causes a severe lag spike for 3 seconds. His "Goblin Synergy" is a passive and has an active button as well. This might not be such a problem but for newbies it might seem confusing. Try to find some passive buttons that would fit the abilities. The hiveworkshop icons section has a lot of various icons. Dwarf Engineer hero has a really small scaling value size and he is hard to hit, considering also that the camera view is really high . Try increasing his size. He and the Distributor have the same spell on the first tier, the Teleport. |
Terrain & Aesthetics | The terrain seems to be fine regarding its environment. The doodads were placed in a smart way to decorate the map. |
Wizardry | Not much of custom spells yet the simple ones fit the tanks, although some of the them can be found in multiple tanks. That won't show a lot of uniqueness. Some abilities have leaks since they cause a lot of lag spikes. |
Final Suggestions | Fix the User Interface, add different abilities to the tanks that have the same abilities. Reduce the damage of some items or the attack interval. Try to take a look at the triggers and fix those memory leaks. |
As for now, this one should be left in awaiting update with a rating of 3/5. Also, please improve the description and show what you exactly changed from the original BT to your own version. As in spells, items and so on. Names and values to compare this to the original one. Fix what I mentioned and it can go as approved with a higher rating.
