Hell_Master: Map approved with a rating of 3/5 (Acceptable). See moderator's review regarding the map:

Well, I had play it and took the author's advice of using the Dwarven one and miraculously, it works pretty well. Survived barely on waves by spamming the first spell which heals the hero when each wave ends but died in the end (was a good ride still). The passive spell helped a lot on killing horde of monsters but did not make it when I was completely surrounded with so much enemies.

Anyway, I liked the map how it was a combination of different genres such as AoS because of how are obliged to pick a hero and to destroy a building to win the game, a little of Melee where you have to build certain structures or building which contributes to your survival and of course, staying true to its original genre, Defense/Survival where you have to survive waves filled with rampaging undead creatures aiming to massacre you.

The game's difficulty is quite hard but can be handled with the Dwarven hero but I think it would be probably better if you'll let the players vote or choose (if one player only) for a difficulty so as to scale how strong would be the enemies. It would certainly become newbie friendly and solo-able which can be good to kill time (if you know what I mean by that) but also the higher difficulties which should be played with more players and is certainly hard to solo.

The terrain is good but as I've always said on some maps, it can be improved to some extent. I would suggest placing some tile variations at some point because it gets repetitive. Also, add some doodads at roads/dirt roads and scatter them around but avoid spamming them for it would give unwanted result. Suggested would be corpses, bones and remains because it would give some eerie feeling to the terrain. Play with the editor, discover some tricks and such. Make custom special effect doodads through looking on the model files and placing them on the terrain to add some magical touch to it.

A bug I would probably have to report or maybe not really a bug since it does not potentially destroy gameplay. When reaching Wave 6, the timer for it appeared thrice and I think this should not be. Probably some restrictions for the trigger were not placed so as for it to run only once. Other than that, everything looks fine.

To sum it up, the gameplay looks bearable in solo and probably, pretty much better on multiplayer. I would rate this 3/5 and a stamp of approval.

-Gameplay

The gameplay is decent but with major problems.

Firstly, when I go into War3 and I click at your game. I was clueless what to do there because the small description is missing! I managed to enter your game because you had typed a description in Hive. This might confuse people who does read your descriptions in Hive! Pls write a guide there.

I were given 6 choices of Heros in this game. After randomly picking one, my Hero was spawned in the North-West area. After a few seconds, a warning soon appeared in my screen. That is good for a survival game!

The major problem:-

At the beginning, the enemy spawned in a good manner but after a while, I got busted by them. I managed for 10 minutes and guess what? There are hundreds of undeads chasing me! This is insane for a survival map! I suggest you to make this spawning thing in wave form. Like you got to kill all 25 zombies to go to the next wave. This unlimited spawning system is too common and often impossible for any players to survive! Fix it!

Nothing much to say about the gameplay, it is incredibly insane. Just fix that problem...


Good point:

The atmosphere is perfect in this game. It is a very creepy dark lighting and it reminds me of Silent Hill! Good Job!

The Heros have great and impressive abilties! (Sometimes, It is not strong enough to survive. .. )


Terrain and Decoration:

The terrain is alright, the contrast is good enough, nothing much to say. (Except for the place where your hero starts, it is quite plain...)

It seems you are lack of decorations! Place some unholy stuffs or anything?

Bugs and Consistency:

Fix the major problem because it can make your map to be more consistence.

Verdict:

This map is polished but your Quest log contains credits only! Pls add gameplay details like how do you start?, features and many more!

Comments:

I personally think this map has lots of potential and more things can be improved.
Please fix the major problem... and this map will be awesome! Anyway, good job tydieguy!

I currently rate it as 2/5. Pls fix the major problem then I will increse it to 3!

Did as you said, added some decor, added some stuff to hero selection area, also made it into waves now (20 total)

The Gameplay is not a survival but more of a massacre, its hard to reach wave 2 if you plan to play this with 1 player, and by a player what more will it be if its a full house?

Spawn creeps are way stronger than the heroes I've chosen whenever I die and try a different one, there are no items, safe stations, or even a cooldown after a wave, it only takes like 3 seconds after the next wave comes in, and it becomes worse each wave turns out more creeps, more abilities, and way more stronger.

I couldn't explain more of the terrain because of how it is only 1 lane and it leads completely straight to towers so damn strong its suicidal.

Maybe next time its best if the map is tested, balanced, and well executed before its quickly uploaded here in this section.

Increased time in between waves and made of the higher waves spawn less mobs, also few things to note:

• You can buy items, you need to build a shop from the human builder
• You can at least make it to round 4 if you know what to do

Here is some advice: Play Dwarven Berserker and start with W, build the health fountain and 2 Offensive Treants from Night Elf Builder. Build as many 1 Cannon tower and 5 or 6 Arrow Towers, get a shop when you can.

Back to Pending, retesting it soon.

Thank you I'm just going to put this out now theres an issue when you get to wave 6(working on fixing now though).

 

[Rex.]

Well, Guy, have you tried to play this game and complete it? If you can't, that means it is too hard.

Edit: Going to test it again , don't fail me.

Well, I had play it and took the author's advice of using the Dwarven one and miraculously, it works pretty well. Survived barely on waves by spamming the first spell which heals the hero when each wave ends but died in the end (was a good ride still). The passive spell helped a lot on killing horde of monsters but did not make it when I was completely surrounded with so much enemies.

Anyway, I liked the map how it was a combination of different genres such as AoS because of how are obliged to pick a hero and to destroy a building to win the game, a little of Melee where you have to build certain structures or building which contributes to your survival and of course, staying true to its original genre, Defense/Survival where you have to survive waves filled with rampaging undead creatures aiming to massacre you.

The game's difficulty is quite hard but can be handled with the Dwarven hero but I think it would be probably better if you'll let the players vote or choose (if one player only) for a difficulty so as to scale how strong would be the enemies. It would certainly become newbie friendly and solo-able which can be good to kill time (if you know what I mean by that) but also the higher difficulties which should be played with more players and is certainly hard to solo.

The terrain is good but as I've always said on some maps, it can be improved to some extent. I would suggest placing some tile variations at some point because it gets repetitive. Also, add some doodads at roads/dirt roads and scatter them around but avoid spamming them for it would give unwanted result. Suggested would be corpses, bones and remains because it would give some eerie feeling to the terrain. Play with the editor, discover some tricks and such. Make custom special effect doodads through looking on the model files and placing them on the terrain to add some magical touch to it.

A bug I would probably have to report or maybe not really a bug since it does not potentially destroy gameplay. When reaching Wave 6, the timer for it appeared thrice and I think this should not be. Probably some restrictions for the trigger were not placed so as for it to run only once. Other than that, everything looks fine.

To sum it up, the gameplay looks bearable in solo and probably, pretty much better on multiplayer. I would rate this 3/5 and a stamp of approval.

 

[Rex.]

:0 Although, it's approved. I seek for improvements. If it rocks then 3 stars goes to your map!

Thank you SO MUCH!! One for all the feedback for improvement(and I know wave is buggy I'm looking into it by making a less messy wave system) but also approving it, it really made an end to my vacation I'll do all the things you said when I can(school is going to make it busy for me).
Added 6 difficulties, changed tiles up a bit, fixed some bugs.

StoPCampinGn00b: Merged double post

:0 Although, it's approved. I seek for improvements. If it rocks then 3 stars goes to your map!

Added difficulties, hope I'll have big update soon

@tydieguy
Ah, it seems some improvements were made that quick. I'll have a look at it later when time permits me to do so.
