Synopsis You are the evil overlord of a dungeon fortress and adventuring parties are raiding your dungeon for treasures and ultimately are attempting to slaughter you in the name of their king! To keep yourself safe while your army die horribly for you (as any good villain would), you stay in the luxurious heart of your fortress, watching over the battle with your seer's magic. You decide that without your brilliant command, the battle will be lost, so you use your magic to control your minions from afar and control the tide of the battle against the onslaught of heroes. Gameplay The game blends the action and strategy genres by allowing you to control a minion directly with the WASD keys and attack, or select a group of minions using left click and drag and then right click to direct them towards enemies. The aim of the game is to prevent all of your minions from dieing, as they are the only thing stopping the heroes from getting to the heart of the dungeon, slaying you and stealing all of your treasure. The top left of the HUD shows a progress bar, which at the start of the game has a red bar and a blue bar which are of equal length. The red bar represents how close the minions are to killing all heroes (i.e. how close you are to winning) and the blue bar represents how close the heroes are to winning (i.e. how close you are to losing). There are four waves of heroes (the next wave starts after you kill all the alive heroes, an exclamation mark is shown on the minimap where the new wave spawn is). If you kill all four waves of the heroes and have minions left, you win and get to keep all your treasures and life! Controls left mouse - clicking on a minion (your evil servants fighting the invading heroes) will select it left mouse + drag - select a group of minions and then right click somewhere to direct them towards it right mouse - direct your selected minions to move to a position w, a, s, d - movement when a minion is under control, otherwise moves the camera shift - faster camera movement space - attack in the current direction when a minion is under control arrow keys - move the camera escape - stop controlling any minions Download or Vote (submitters only) Gameplay - SolarFlare (Art) - Trinick (Code) - Dr. Calamity (SFX / Music) - not on these forums - Kheyre (Misc.) - Trigun (Code) - Shadowbeing (Party Host) - z0w0 (Code) Made in 72 hours. |

Pretty fun. The only thing I don't like is how basically if you control one unit you can nearly stop an army, but your guys alone are worthless. I definitely enjoyed it, though. |
