I'll start with the positive opinions.
Positive Opinions:

Difficulty Settings:
There are difficulty settings in the map.
Difficulty settings make it easier for new people to play the game from the beginning and later on when they become more experienced they may change the difficulty to medium or Hard.
Note! The difficulty is chosen when the game has begun.

Upgrades:
In my opinion there's a large selection of upgrades for the towers in this map.
There's everything from Tower HP Increase to Attack speed.
Tower HP upgrade
Damage Rate Upgrade
Range Upgrade
Attack Rate Upgrade
Research Haste ''It's an upgrade for a special tower''
Research Fire Boost ''It's an upgrade for a special tower''
Research Frost Wave ''It's an upgrade for a special tower''
Basic Towers Upgrade
Research Fury Technology
Research Chaos Technology.

There's about anything to upgrade.

Introduction, Sounds & Effects:
It seems like the mapmaker worked hard on adding Sound effects & effects.
Example:When the game starts & the portal gets created there's sound and Nice effects.

Negative Opinions:

Bug Found!
I found a bug,Why would Towers need hit points if you build them on cliffs where no enemy may attack it,And the enemies have no attack!Why would hit points for towers be useful?

Neutral Opinions:

Loading Screen:
I think that you could add something more in the loading Screen than how to contact you and where to find information about the map.It'd be better if it would be possible to read while the map is loading so that they'll learn something about the map before reading in F11

Rating:

It's hard moderating Tower Defence Maps because sometimes I'm not able to win them & therefore can't play it to the end.If anyone finds a bug that ruins the game play then please send me a mail so that I can re-moderate the map.And don't forget to tell the mapmaker aswell so that he can fix the problem.

nice map. one huge range on skyfury towers though (dunno if it was intended)
not bad for your first TD 10/10

 

[yujinn]

Thanks Saberd. ;-)
The very long range was intended to compensate for the slow attack rate.

[Velmarshal]

Well rep+ for such a moderation.

 

[I need a name]

Some of the enemies shoot the towers as they walk by, that is why there is an HP upgrade.

 

[yujinn]

Thanks for the thorough review Firelord. It's difficult to review TD's I agree.
And yeah, I-need is right, the later-wave enemies actually attack and do damage.
I opted not to give the enemies on the first few waves the ability to attack so the player do not need to worry about upgrading tower HP's early on.

 

[Devine]

Firelord, you make way to big reviews. Your suprised the pending map section is 33 pages long?

 

[Hu_FG]

Good job.

 

[Marak-Zul]

nice map

 

[Deathager]

Very nice map !! gratz

 

[yujinn]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the appreciation ;-)

 

[ShrEad-ER]

%{$(%" (sorry for that) i got to second last wave and.... BANG MUWAMUHAHAHAHHAHA.... well... i died... lol

------
just for saying something half-funny... i use too many of "..." dont you think?...

EDIT: "Heh heh.

Here're some tips on the final bosses:
- The sky-fury tower's thunderstorm ability is most effective against those tough orc bombers.
- Build several chaos-type towers near the portal entrance before the final stage (the final boss will stop there and drain all the portal energy that is left). Towers far from that area will be useless because Thrall will just pass by them very quickly, so it is better to sell them (if there're any left that is).
- Invest on the force shield ability."

thanks!

[Haruka]

Very nice map! I enjoyed playing it! It's also very expansive with all the different upgrades. ^^

 

[Roderich]

Nice map, but I can't win .

 

[yujinn]

[EternaLife]

Cant get very far on normal... wasted a few hours of my life on this thing.

Tried so many times, but - its frustrating, not fun.
