Bug fixes helped but still flawed: – ENYO Review

@Developer: This game has really neat mechanics, but it is missing some core components that are needed to help new players and to add replay value for old players: 1. Normal mode starts off with way too many components for a casual player. That scares them off. This game absolutely needs a Campaign mode to introduce each enemy and how to deal with it manageably. THEN players will play Normal mode as a bigger challenge. 2. Enemy information should be displayable during the game, preferably by tapping on the enemy I want to learn about, and here's why: A. The enemy descriptions page is pretty useful, but way too far out of the way to expect anyone to find it, particularly when labeled "Help", and ESPECIALLY while a player is in a level. B. A core tenant of strategy games is that a player requires complete knowledge of everything one can see onscreen at that moment to make an informed decision: how far can something move, how much damage does it do, how much health does it have, and what's special about it? 3. Honestly, I'm still not even sure exactly how my own attacks work, and I played the game to level four. How far behind me does the hook leave my enemy? Why would I ever throw my shield except when pushing a shield orc (and how would I know to do that if I didn't read the Help menu)? Can enemies walk through my shield? Why does my smash-jump turn into a normal jump and back? What are the conditions for stunning an enemy? How can I tell if I stunned them? For this, I recommend "press and hold" over an action button to give a summary of what an attack does. 4. What do Golden Skulls do? Are they currency? What do they buy? Weapons? Retries? More health? More max health? Clothes? If they are just a high score, then I see no benefit to collecting them. 5. Show the achievements earned and to earn in-game. Never rely on players using the Game Center (or any other app for that matter). 5. Finally, if you want people to buy the game: what does buying the full game give me? A Campaign mode? The ability to store Golden Skulls?
