Castle Woodwarf 2 Review (Bali)
Woodwarf 1 is free to play on Armor Games and is a fun resource management / castle defense game.
TL;DR Go play that, if you like that then get this on sale.
I like that this version has militant dwarves defending the dragon whelp instead of just upgrading the dragon whelp. But it's offloaded the House/castle upgrade to a meta system outside of the 'gameplay'. Which makes sense for a more campaign style of game but it I miss that from the original. I'd rather the meta system change what level your hut started at each level and still gave you the option of leveling up house, trees, environment, units etc.
I really liked the clear balance of food production and wood (which is gold). This version has veggies and fish...but I'm not sure if its all being fed to the dragon or if theres any difference between the 2.
Castle Defense is a sub genre or variant to tower defense where you send waves of units to clash in the middle and usually each side has a castle with a ranged unit safely shooting enemies that get close. In this castle defense variant however your units don't charge until death, they just move to some spot and wait to die I mean fight. You can move the dragon back and forth, but want to move that mage up so its helping the warrior? Too bad you can't move any of the other units. It makes sense to auto walk units when your goal is to defeat a castle/imaginarygoal and each unit walks forward fighting everything in its path. But in this case they just sort fill in with archers scattered in the back with mages and warriors up front.
I hope this is a game the developer continues to work on and upgrade.
