√ Gameplay √ Originality √ Balance √ Packaging √ Spelling & Grammar √ Bugs √ Terrain +/- Replaying worth +/- Object Editor work quality

I enjoyed this castle defense. You rarely had time to stop, you had to be constantly in action. The gameplay was, more or less, unique from all the other tower defenses I've played. Special distinction to the various modes and options of the game. For what I could see, no bugs whatsoever. Overall, the game seemed to be pretty balanced. The bosses were somewhat hard, but I was still an unexperienced player, which might have led to that opinion. No rough edges, such as bugs or spelling mistakes, and a very well chosen minimap image that catches one's eye when browsing. Either the author is an experienced map maker, or he actually tested his map before releasing it...!

I have, however, doubts about the replay value (if the game is worth playing again). Even with all the modes and difficulty settings, the game is pretty much the same, and while bathing in professionalism is pleasing, won't the game get boring over time?
My doubts also fall on the quality of the author's object editor work quality: I didn't notice an obvious variation on the creeps' strengths and weaknesses.

My rating for this map is 4/5 (Recommended). Being that so, this is certainly a map I want to have in the Map Section – Approved!

An awesome td map in my opinion.

I enjoyed playing as you are never doing nothing like Rui mentioned before.
Also, it has something more then all the other td's, which makes this map more then unique!

 

[EpixBelongToMe]

am i wrong or wasnt this map already uploaded, deleted and now reuploaded after some bad ratings?


but anyways i think the td is very nice. the only problem i think is that the bottom positions are kinda easier to play than the upper ones.

Well made TD with original style.

Only I dont like these reputation points when playing alone or with friend. Kinda not balanced on easy lvl. I didnt play with full house yet but it seems to be more than Tower War - not Tower Defence.

Hey man, congratulations!

it's a very well made map, I'd have to spend a whole hour typing what wonderful things you've made that I loved, but I'll skip that and go straight to the point.

Most AoE spell towers bug (flame strike and fog, to name a few). I think they try to cast the spell as soon as an enemy enters range, but they don't 'end' casting it. The spell icon gets that green border and the button seems "pressed", but it stays that until you cast it manually.

Besides this bug, there are a few minor issues I'd like to point out:
- The focus fire skill orders your summons to attack too. This is fine, but sometimes the enemy is outside the castle and you have those spirits from the lich hero (sorry, just played once and forgot the name), and they die once they cross the gates.
- The same summons have a jump spell, that has (in my opinion) a range too short. You have to stay REALLY close to the wall to make them jump over it.
- Late game, I think it gets really lame, because I had A LOT of gold and no reputation (even challenging champions whenever I could), so the best thing I could do was spam the hammer tower all over the map, and it worked quite fine.

That's it, great work on the map.

A good TD but not the best TD.
I think eeve! TD and original Skibi TD is better.
But you work very well with this map.
There is a bug that sometimes magic tower don't use the magic.

Suto's Castle Tower Defense is a tower defense game focusing on main a hero casting spells, and a builder building towers in the gaps of the walls. There are flying levels, each wave has one or many champions (Stronger mob) that when killed gives a honor point. Honor points can be spent to upgrade good towers or increase income.

I had played it multiple time and felt that it was pretty reasonable to play. After my third try, I realized that it was too hard for me. I tried to do advanced tower upgrade but there are many different combination of towers to build before you can handle each wave correctly. The hero mana regeneration is pretty balanced but slow in a way. Once you missed a hero spell, you got to be ready to spam more towers. The game is pretty medium pace, I think strategy players will enjoy it, I will give it a 3.5 but I will rate it 4. Keep improve it and I think it will shine one day..
Like Rui said, It must be more replayable in my opinion too.

 

[deepstrasz]

Great map.

I don't like the fact that a round can begin while another is not yet finished.
@ Phase Travel: the word is journey not yourney .

 

[Icedrake]

Brilliant TD map, it has to be one of my favorites, along with Enfo's Team Survival: MT Edition, and Legion TD War. Is this map still updated, or has development stopped?

Rating: 5/5.

 

[Tleno]

I think the development stoped, it was updated just to fix the uncompatability bug (version 1.24 one). But I think it's completely complete, awesome and balanced, so creators of it can have a well-deserved rest.

 

[Magnabun]

OMFG, I think is the first TD when I die soy fast xD, very nice TD, i love the fact that you choose like a hero, plz put more towers and effects
PD: the bosses are very funny nice done!

 

[Chizume]

Played this with a friend. It was a great experience. It's a very fine map.

I rate it 5/5.

 

[Pickles]

No longer works on Patch 1.30 (instant desync after load screen). I've attached a working version, but it's in Russian. The map is unprotected if somebody wants to translate so we can play this great map again.
