I'm really impressed with the quality of games coming from Belugerin and here's another installment of their hit Age of Defense strategy titles. They gave this 3rd version a totally different twist.
ABOUT THE GAME
Usually, rather, past Age of Defense games only involves you clicking on which character to send out to the enemy, you have your own base to protect from enemy units, and at the same time you have to attack the enemy (by overwhelming the AI with sheer number of weak units or by quality units who cost more but have greater HP and stronger attacks). In the course of each level you gain experience, and once you have enough experience, you can upgrade your civilization - from stone-age to robot era, and each upgrade of civilization unlocks better units for you. So you also are in a race against the AI to get experience faster and upgrade civilizations faster.
In the new Age of Defense game, you will also (at the end of every level), choose how to spend "points" that you get after each level, either unlock an existing unit's skill, or using the points to get an entirely new unit. Not only that, you'll have to follow a, sort of, skill tree, so you can't just go on unlocking units, you have to unlock units in a certain order to get to what you want.
Here are the screenshots:
And that's only page 1

My technique has always been melee followed by long-ranged units. Another change in the system is that units can occupy the same space at the same time (unlike previous versions, they line up and wait for the unit in front of them to get killed before going forward).
OVERALL
Do I like the new system? Well, I like the previous Age of Defense better than this one. This one has a lot more going on, although I welcome the fact that they increased the levels, I just think that 100 levels (2 pages of 50 levels each) is too much. After playing the first 10 and winning easily, I just found it boring and there's no excitement even if I knew there were unlockables. So this one was a little disappointing for me, while I know a lot will probably disagree. I rate this version 2 because my point of view is comparing it with the other versions of this title, but if I would rate it against other online games with the same system, it would be a 3.
