Defend Your Castle (WiiWare)

Yea, this game is pretty fun. May check it out I guess.

I wonder how the new version will look like.

Screens have been added...

Looking good.. looks like they've made a genuine effort to make this something seriously special.. in a different way from the flash version. Cool. Will need to wait and see now how they expand on the actual concept, just to make the game feel like.. bigger, somehow, than the web version.

Had a go of this on the XGen Studios site...didn't think it was much cop.

I'm actually pretty excited for this game and its "Hey, I'm not part of the crowd!" style. So excited, I've made a Wikipedia article on it. It is small, though it is pretty well written if you ask me. I stayed away from the 'big words' though, so everyone could understand. XD

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defend_Your_Castle

I can't believe you are so excited. The only explanation is that you must work for X-Gen Studios. I think this game can't really expand much beyond the basic concept. The article is well written. I suggest everyone saves five bucks and plays the tried and true version, Flash style.

Wonder what the price will be? Here's hoping for 500 points.

I'm looking forward for this one!

Looks like a mix of Rampart(arcade) and Apple assault from Warioware twisted

Peter, this isn't any killer app to say the least, though it just looks like the best of the 'poor man's' WiiWare. Plus, I needed to boost my Wiki-larity up with good writing skills.

Seems awesome... According to an IGN interview, it's going to be 500 points.

seems like a game i played called something like invaders and you had to invade the enemy castle either way im not getting it

This one is good enough for me.

For 500 points (official price) I think this could be a good multiplayer game. As a single player game it gets old in about 20-30 minutes (FLASH version that is). I'm excited for its 4 player drop in/out, so I'll let you guys know what I think as I plan to get it.

only 500 points. Well 500 isn't that much, but probably if I get it they'll release dr.mario which is 1000 wii points but I'm a little nervous about the price for toki tori and if I get this and dr.mario I'll have 500 points left and it'll probably cost more than that.

It looks alright. I wasn't much of a fan of the flash version so I don't think I'll be getting this. I'll wait and see what reviews it gets and what people generally think of this. Plus it's got multiplayer which looks like it could be fun.

I'm gonna get this tomorrow-wifi working of course. Soemtimes it likes to torment me and say "No, I wont work. Not today."

I think this'll be the one game I get for sure. Since, my roommate and I used to compare high scores (from the flash version) while at work. So a 2 player option could definitively determine who's better.

I can't wait to download this one.

Like I thought its fun for 1-2 hrs alone. Better as multiplayer. Takes 121 blocks.

Byt he way, anyone know how to add games to our profile here? Cause I have this, and am getting something tomorrow!

looks fun!

Once I get a wii, I'm getting this one. I'm pretty sure i remember playing this on the computer, and it was pretty fun, now with new updates this should be great. and $5 is a steal!

121 blocks?!
That's definitely a put off for when it does come out here as I'm running out of games I want to delete...

I got this game. It's fun to play a few minutes a day but if you play it for to long it gets boring.

I got this game last night. The bad news is that the gameplay is almost exactly like the Flash game. There really aren't any gameplay upgrades over that version. The GOOD news is that it received a solid upgrade in the physics, control, and graphics departments!

The characters are super-easy to whip around the screen. With a slight flick of the wrist, you can send an enemy flying so far that you won't see him for another 5 seconds or so. (It's kind of cool to have just defeated a horde, only to have all their little stick/button bodies come crashing to earth seconds later! Mwhahaha!) This is a great improvement over the Flash game, where it felt like the only effective method of dispatching enemies was to smash them against the ground.

The use of the castle's defenses was a bit hard to get a grasp on in the Flash game. Thankfully, that's been smoothed out in the Wii version. Adding archers, masons, deploying suicide bombers, and developing "magic" are all intuitive actions that take no time to understand and use. This keeps the game moving at times when the Flash game just left you scratching your head.

The graphics of the game are great! The game has a home-project look to it; as if an accountant got bored and decided to make a game on paper. While the new graphics never gel into more than the sum of their parts, they do look nice and greatly help smooth out the gameplay. (I especially love the clouds hanging by yarn. )

On a personal note, I like how the gratuitous violence was toned down for this release. I've worked with a lot of Flash developers, and they seem to think they're being "cool" or "edgy" by adding in blood, guts, and gore. IHMO, all they're doing is making their game inaccessible and undesirable to a large class of players. So kudos to XGen and Nintendo for developing a look that focuses more on the gameplay mechanic than on some mythical "edge".

All in all, this is not a "must buy" game. The gameplay is pretty simplistic, with the core mechanic trumping the building aspect of the game. It is fun, though, so if you have 500 points lying around, it's worth the money.

I got this yesterday and trust me, this game is awesome. It's so worth the overly-reasonable and modest price of 500 Points. It's such a steal at that price! The multiplayer alone is worth it, even with two people (I only have 2 Remotes).

I was so surprised how quickly me and my friend clocked hours on it! It's just so much fun and yeah, if they included blood, that would've been a big turn-off for me. The whole style change is certainly contingent with the audience they are targeting and it's just great to see the developers make such changes to appeal to our audience. The game is great. Enough said.

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks to everyone who's purchased Defend your Castle thus far! Looks like we're currently sitting at the #3 most popular title -- we couldn't have done it without you, and we hope you're all having a blast with the game.

Has anyone managed to make it past level 45 yet?

@Xgen I am on Stage33 as of last night and pledge to play an hour a day! How many levels are there? Are there any unlockables for beating the game (on heroic or otherwise)?

Me and my best friend clocked HOURS on it yesterday. We played in more than MKWii, much to my surprise since I'm a huge MKWii fan.

I knew DYC would be great, but this is AWESOME. XGen: You guys did a fabulous job. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks once again for removing the blood. It made a difference.

And #3 is so predictable. You guys had a strong launch, for sure.

I'm not past Level 45 yet. And me and my friend were also wondering how many stages there are. He thinks 100 but I think there's 50 tops.

Also, the yellow flag guys were ticking us off a bit, but in a good way. We put 200 guys there and no new uppgrade/item (mind you, we get the items faster but we thought that after we got the bomb at 100-something, we'd get something at 200). xD

I assure you, XGen, I'll be playing this over and over again, and I know that's what you'll like to hear.

What else can you tell us about the game/any other titles you plan to bring to WiiWare?

It's neat being able to speak with a developer. This is my third time doing so.

There are actually unlimited levels, so the game ends only when you want it to. The real question is, how high can you get?

That said, there are still a few surprises in store for players who get a little further along in the game, as well as some cool easter eggs scattered around. We tried to cram in as much as we possibly could for five bucks.

Awesome to hear how much you're enjoying the game. Unfortunately, past 100 mages all you'll get is a shorter cooldown on your spells (which, mind you should prove very useful in late-game). Also, a shorter cooldown on the instant-conversion spell is always useful as you get converts faster and faster.

As you probably guessed, I can't speak to what we're working on next, but I can assure you that fans will not be disappointed.

Bought it. Love it. Made it to Level 30. Have carpal tunnel syndrome. Haha.

Lol, DJ. My friend's thumb/hand were sore. Mine aren't.

Unlimited levels = Sweet, XGen!
And that's great. You guys did a great job for sure.
And yeah, the shorter respawn time helps a lot later on. I think we're past Level 30 ... either that or ON Level 30. Heh.

Yep, yep. But I'm glad "fans won't be disappointed". That in itself is a great assurance. And don't worry, I can piece things together. you don't have to tell me anything. I can just speculate for now. Heh. But I'll be looking forward, certainly, to seeing more of your titles on WiiWare if they're as appealing and specifically created for the Wii audience. You show that blood doesn't have to be in a game for it to sell, something I always try to get across especially since for the most part, I'm against violence of that nature (e.g., M-Rated games, etc.).

Anyway, the game's strategy, challenge, addictiveness, and overall style (not to mention the sick interface) all lends itself to DYC's success. And since you're here. PRICING MAKES A DIFFERENCE. you guys were really smart to put it a measly 500. At that price, it's a steal. Thanks for not trying to promote it as being a quick buck. I look forward to your further WiiWare support!

I loved this game on the comp, and i was wondering, can you save your game when you get to a level. And if you die can you restart from there?

You bet -- Defend your Castle on WiiWare has 3 save game slots where you can save your progress. If you die, you can retry the level immediately or load from your last save if you'd prefer.

Thanx, now I'll prabably download it tonight, good luck with your future games.

Awesome game! Definitely worth the 5 bucks. It's so addicting. Although, it sucks that it was released the night before my last two finals! I'd take a "10 minute study break" and end up wasting an hour on the game! I'm on level 35 now and I'm more interested to continue playing now that I know there are bonuses and easter eggs for getting higher up!

@Xgen I'm now at around 44! The catapults are really tough! I haven't died yet (on easy) but have come close twice. Are there any new enemies added afetr the catapults? I almost hope not because I'll die!! Anyway, great title. I have played 4 hours so far and thats just single player. This was my first Wiiware choice, as other ones I'm more torn on. Great simple fun for a great price- Keep it up! Everyone download this if you have the points!

@Chipmunk
I know the feeling! I let myself play 2 levels for each of my Math study breaks.
Oh no, Xgen, we are all going to fail! lol

Easter eggs? Hope sites start posting what they are. Also well Xgen state what they are a few months down the road in case they aren't all found so people can look for them in the game?

Okay. This game looks great, but Xgen, where's Stick RPG 2? I would proably ante up 2000 points if you released that on WiiWare!

I got this game and it's GREAT! It's simple,but addictive and fun!
10 stars.

It was definitely a smart idea to put it at 500. If it was 600 then I wouldn't have got it and would have missed out on such a great game. Maybe XGen could make a Defend Your Castle 2 with more modes and maybe even Wifi.

WiiWare World's Defend Your Castle review is up now!

@XGen: You owe me a bionic arm! (I'm passing level 40 now. Ow, ow, ow, ow...)

Just wanted to congratulate you on a job well done. For $5, the game really is something special.

looks really good! and for 500 points!?! its almost a steal ill get this

@Everyone and THEWIIROCKS
Yeah, my right wrist really hurts now, from playing 5 hours over 2 days
I finally died at Stage 45 (which I will try again) but I'm not allowing myself to play hard levels for a couple days to recover. Anyone else feeling the pain?
ALSO, WATCH THE CREDITS!! EASTER EGGS!

Did I hear catapults? That sounds interesting!

And yes, I'm feeling a bit of pain but nothing I can't handle. I don't play for hours on end though as much as I would love to as I have to be careful.

That being said, can't wait to play it again.

KnucklesSonic8 said... Did I hear catapults? That sounds interesting!

Indeed it is! The blasted things are stupidly hard to defeat, too. If even one of those rocks hits your castle, your defenses will start to crumble. Yet you can't blow up the catapults, nor can you pick them up. The only standard defense is to rock them by continuously clicking on them. After a while, they fall apart.

One trick I learned, however, is that you can erase them with magic. So keep that eraser in reserve for when one shows up! Otherwise your best defense is to send out a suicide bomber to temporarily blow up the horde, then rock the living daylights out of that catapult!

Or you could use the enemy suicide bombers. I now use those guys to clear the gate area. They are quite effective. You can hear the catapults coming as well. The explosive does work may take it plus some suicide archery hits.

Basically, catapults are a pain, unless you're lucky/clever enough to erase them. Best tactic IMO is to use a suicider or your Death-Bomb to clear the area around them and then erase. This only works if there's just one though...

i hope this comes for eu soon

@Big=Sexy - If you had put all those masons into archers, your castle would be self-defending by now. Once you hit 901 archers, it's game over for every enemy except the catapults. You can more or less sit back and rake in the points.

Big=Sexy/Adonis: Nice job getting that far! You're the furthest out of everyone else here.

Are Archers really that useful, though?

And the catapults sounds like they'd complicate things a lot which is great to see. And yes, the eraser comes in handy, for sure.

I am also surprised that archers are ever helpful. I have like 70 and they only kill a few people a level I have about 200 mages and 120 masons...but I use too many people as suiciders to build my numbers much nowadays

Big=Sexy: Why does EVERYONE pull that guilt trip on me when they divulge their real name and as such, they automatically expect me to divulge also. XD

I use Suicide Bombers wisely, especially with the Bomb given by the Mages.

You didn't have to explain yourself but thank you for doing so and thanks for respecting my privacy. It was kind of a joke but I've been asked this quite a few times, actually. But I am 17 so don't go thinking I'm 10 or anything. xD

And that's what I do, too. I always leave one unit available for when things get insane.

At least 5000 Points, hm? I'll keep that in mind. I've gotten Game Over with my friend twice I think and we barely had enough health to carry on. The 5000 Points for Refilling all your Health is obviously what you're referring to.

Don't you just love this game?

This game looks like pop. Fun for short burat. Maybe 30 minutes a day. But I can see myself getting this game sometime in the near future.

I hope this hurrys up and comes out in Europe soon because I can't w8!

@Shoemaker: Get it. You won't be disappointed. The multiplayer alone makes this a steal at 500.

@Chris: Yeah, some of my UK buddies are dying for it to appear also. Patience, ftw!

Has anyone found any of the Easter Eggs that XGen talked about earlier?

Nope. I was wondering the same thing.
Big=Sexy, see anything?

I wonder if these Easter Eggs resemble Toki Tori in that it uses WiiConnect24? I'm almost certain that's what these "Easter Eggs" are referring to.

I wonder if there's some way you can compare stats to your friends...

Awesome easter egg. I started over today. I am gonna be wiser with my minions and not suicide them all! Do you need a USB or soemthign to do the cheat? Does the "Special thanks to Chuck Norris" have anything to do with this? I will go find out!!

What IS the Easter Egg? I can't view the page.

I really can't wait for this to come to the UK if it comes out that is.

@Knuckles
Some kind of cheat so that all the enemies are huge
Comments on the youtube link think that it has something to do with the SMB3W4 in the credits. Possibly acode, along with "Chuck Norris" (as Special thanks To)

Oh wow! haha, I have to try to find that, thanks for posting it XGen! XD

It may not be obvious, but you can actually click the Catapult's projectiles in the air to detonate them before they hit your castle.

What the team here likes to do is start playing in lolcats-mode and just let the catapults pile up, then compete to see who can snipe the most projectiles out of the air before the castle gets destroyed. It's surprisingly fun after a long day of coding.

On a side note, has anyone made it very far on Chuck Norris difficulty? I think the record here is level 20-ish, after which it becomes crazy difficult to keep up with grabbing the little guys.

lol go on www.google.ca and search "search chuck Norris" lol

Anyways @knuckles

Yeah I think I'm gonna download this one, and use a few points for DLC for MLAAK, and save the rest.

has anybody else besides Big=Sexy gotten to stage 100? i got there today, but it was a little easy after you get 800 of everything. oh, and Big=Sexy, the archers actually help a little bit. they shoot down hundreds(maybe thousands) of people.

i still manage to get 100,000 points with all my archers. i can see your point though. i thought you didn't get points for enemies killed by bombs?

this is where i stand(although i am only on level 101)
Mages=813
Archers=813
Stone Masons=813
Helth=87,040
How did you get all that extra helth?

@objection_blaster: Archers help me, i got 911. they kill everything, literally. i don't do anything and the people get nowhere near my castle. like somebody said(i forgot who) once you get 901, you are "invincible".

@strade
I see. I started over (was at 46 but used too many bombers) and now am at 25, NOT USING ANY BOMBERS. They are a waste of points and units, especially when you are good and there are other bombers.

yeah, i stopped using those after a while. i found out the same thing you did. now they just hold you back.plus, my magic bomb comes back in like 5 seconds, so i don't need them.

good luck with heroic mode. i have found that i get 2000 helth points per round now. that nice compared to the 1000-1400 i was getting before. the rounds can get boring after you get 900 archers though. it's a good thing i saved another file before i got them.

Heh, for you pros out there (yes, if you have the patience to make it to level 100, you're a pro, God knows how long it took me...), please post something if you come upon anything new after the first hundred levels. I enjoyed this game, but after passing that hundred mark with 903 archers, I kind of lost incentive to continue.

My best wishes to those on heroic mode; you guys are insane.

i am 99.9% sure that there is nothing else.

i will go to heroic after I get to 100. My first goal is to get back to 45 though

And here I thought there was nothing more to the game other than getting 901 Archers and putting the Wiimote down. Giants, gnomes, Catapults, oh my...

I was trying the "ultimate challenge" - Heroic Mode with NO archer tower. I had something like 1000 mages and 800 masons, then hit level 40 and the catapults wiped me out.

Anyway, fantastic game; can't wait to see what's next!

nice metaphor big=sexy. "large grapes" hah.

I applaud you Big=Sexy. I hope it isn't that boring for you reaching 150 because if things just continue like they do at level 100, you're going to be watching your archers decimate 44 levels of enemies. Happy playing

As for you Peznaze, I'm bamboozled, I guess you could say. I thought by now with so many mages you'd just have unlimited spells with no cool-down. Well, however it is, may you survive.

UK needs this now.

This is the best Wiiware game in my opinion, especially considering the price. Finally, a game I can give a resounding YES to.

I'm going mad waiting ARGHHHHHHHHHH!

@Mr.Game and Watch

You should try playing the online version, if only to make you appreciate the Wiiware version more when it finally comes out, 'cause trust me, the wiiware version is much better.

@mr.niceguy
I do it's just making me want it more.

when you get that many mages, it takes like 5 seconds or less for the bomb. even less for the others.

100th Comment! Anyway, i can't wait to play this game when it comes out in the UK...

101 comment! I have this game and it's fun. But it gets hard around round 60. So anyone who doesn't have this game & wants it u should i give a 8/10

There's no need to list numbers Mr. over9000, your word is good enough. My word is "addicting". If you like easy-to-learn gameplay with traces of hidden depth that will get you lost for hours, then this is the game for you! While it does get hard after a while, doesn't every game?

I'd like this game but i don't know when it's coming out it's just nor fair that the USA get the brilliant stuff first while were lumbered wirh rubbish titles.

This is the first WiiWare game I actually wanted, FF is just to expensive for my liking! I bought Pop yesterday while I wait, it's pretty good, but 500 points is a must buy!

Ive played this on the internet and didnt like it but this looks like a good version of it. I may pick it up after Lost winds and toki tori seems it is only 500

Well I'm definitely getting it after all who doesn't want to kill some meaningless little stick figures and I think it would've been great if it had WIFI but still u get ur moneys worthand 500 points cheapest wiiware game I've seen around all of the great ones r in the 1,000 price mark but still brilliant game.

out of 10 how much would u say this is the greatest and cheapest wiiware game around?

A Gazillion out of ten. It's incredibly addictive, and is better than a lot of NES VC games at the same price. You got to get it when it comes to Europe. One word of warning though, it is repetitive, so if you have a history of being resistant to crack, the this may not be the right game for you.

've actually been thinking that this may not be the greatest game around actually but yet the pc version was lovely so I don't Mickeymac should I get it? Cuz I feel it has same replay value as pOp as in playing short bursts before your arm breaks.

@supermario2

Go for it, and grab a good NES game while you're at, since you'll have spare points anyways. Even if it turns out it wasn't best purchase you ever made, it definately won't be the worst, especially if you pick a good NES game to go with it. I did and got Double the reward!

@ Mickeymac

Thanx Mickeymac I'll bear that in mind but I don't think I'll get an NES game u never know when a good wiiware game will be released. Also do u own Mario Kart Wii so as we can become friends? Ofcourse We'll have to use those damn friend codes.

This is on the Nintendo Channel as out on 11/07/08. / :
Friday anyone?

Same here Mr.Game and Watch maybe it's coming out this week and they got the dates muddled up with something else hmmmm?
Still hope it's out soon or I'm going to die just waiting.

@Mr.Game and Watch

Well, it's Friday. Either the Nintendo channel was wrong or something went wrong in the shop channel. I hope it's the latter and that it gets fixed soon.

I heard that last friday (when pOp and my pokemon ranch were released) XGEN studios had a technical glitch and so Nintendo released pOp instead disgraceful.

Sorry that smiley face was supposed be meaning: yuck and horrible worst game ever.

this is ok but man its kinda overated when its already free on the internet and its been here for a while...i think there shud be a first person shooter for wiiware thats multiplayer since perfect dark is never hitting vc at this rate

haven't you heard how everyone says it is so much better then the PC version. you just don't get the same kind of experience. therefore, it is not overrated.

Hmmm but still, how is a free online game like this thats been there for years still worth 5 bucks now. lol i know thats being stingy but still, i need to know whether or not if i buy this it will be a big different experience

@DaDun Totally redone graphics, better controls than playing it on the wii internet browser, and multiplayer. Need I say more? Its also only 121 blocks.

Hmmm k thanks, so do u say this is an instant buy or just a good game?

@DaDun
Thats hard to say, depending on what you need to receive in order for it to be "must-have." It's only 500 points. Its fun for several hours in single player (but you might want to take breaks or your wrist will get slightly sore) and is great for multiplayer. It also has a good sense of humor, such as people using tongue depressors as battering rams. I've downloaded 5 Wiiware games as of now (FFCC:MLAAK, DYC, LostWinds, Toki Tori, Magnetica Twist) and this is still in my top 3 favorites. Unless there's something you want more, I'd go for it.

Ill get this but then ill only have 80 block left. Oh wel thats life Im glad thi is only 500 as it looks cheap, multiplayer looks got fun.

Hmmm sucks having 1300 points cuz I dunno to get this now or wait for megaman and get a new card or two after cuz I kinda want megaman,samurai showdown 2, earthbound and parasol stars uggggh. But I'll prolly get this and get new cards for the rest lol if its that good. And btw objection, do u think megaman is gonna be way different/better from the cheaper vc metroid?

@DaDun
Well metroid (NES) is 500 and Super Metroid (SNES) is 800 versus Megaman 9's 1000. In my opinion, I would go for Super Metroid and this (AKA 1300 points!) since we won't be getting Megaman 9 for several months (Oct/Nov likely) And then get a new card for MM9 and something else...I think you'll be happy either way, though

I'm lazy at the moment and not reading all the comments above, so I apologize if someone has already said this:

If DYC lacks one thing, it's downloadable content. Be it new enemies, more spells, or other modes, I would've gladly paid for extra stuff on this game. Let's hope a sequel comes with DLC as well as a bunch more improvements.

Level 22 SMB3W4 mode after one day!

yeh this game looks alot fun.
am getting it today

I restarted a few weeks ago and reached lv50 last night. Here are my stats (After lv50) 29,550 HP, 300 Mages, 340 Archers, 140 Healers with 2 extra people.

Just bought this two days ago, nearly at level 50. Probably the best five bucks I ever spent.

@Virus
I couldn't agree more. The Up button on my D-Pad is BEGGING for a spell. Seriously, if some DLC labeled "FOURTH SPELL" magically appeared one day, I would throw my wallet at the screen.
Still, there are, in a way, a few extra "modes" of play. Large units, small units, and catapults only scenarios are all available through the credits option on the main menu.
Small units are a serious BITC--um, er, hassle.

@lockelocke
Too bad those modes made you start at the very beginning. I would've enjoyed them more if they allowed you to change your saved data. God, those small units are a "BITC--um, er, hassle" though.

Spells would be cool, but I'd rather have castle add-ons or head-to-head multiplayer. You would throw your wallet at the screen, but I would sell my kidney if one day "interactive catapult" or "VS." popped up as DLC.

Strangely, this is still my best WiiWare game, beating out SBCG4AP and LostWinds...

@Virus
WOW, VS, now that's an idea. That's a cool flip on the whole concept, training and deploying units against an opponent's castle. You could even have a single player mode like that, call it ATTACK, or something.
But I'm pretty sure you should hang on to that kidney, I think they're important, or something...

[EDIT] Interactive catapult? What would that be like?

@lockelocke
Eh, I only need one kidney; the rest can be sold. I have three if I remember correctly. (That actually sounds painful when I think about it.)

With the interactive catapult, I was thinking you could add a catapult tower to your castle that doesn't fire automatically. Instead, you would have to load a catapult and fire it manually. More specifically, you'd drag the boulders onto the catapult and then either swipe the catapult or click it to make it fire. Coverted soldiers could be used to increase how frequently rocks appeared or the blast radius of the rocks (yes, it's not realistic). It's gimmicky, but it could be fun.

@Virus
Sound fun. I really like the idea of more units you can send into the field (a la suicide bombers, who essentially became useless once I got my mages to a certain point). Maybe a Lego tank, or even just little stick guys you can send out to fight and slow the enemies from reaching your castle wall. That would add a strategical edge, cause you wouldn't want to be picking up and flinging your little blue-headed stick figures around. Anywho, in short, DLC is a no brainer for this game, especially considering the low price tag to buy; not sure if they even CAN add DLC to a game that was never meant to have any, but that would sick, no doubt.

I dont have that much hElth because the archers' killings do not give you money. I started off with Mages basically and all I need of them is mostly the spray can. With that I seriously could sit back and complete a round at, yes level 100 I tried, and its funny! I was currently at level 105 when I posted this.

70180 hElth
305 Mages
1454 Archers
30 StoneMasons

to tell u the truth.. i thought this would be really stupid.. but i got it and its actually alot of fun.. excpecailly with more than 1 person

look at it like this if you think its to much money/wii points 500 wii points = 5$ and thats not alot for a fun game

sorry for the misunderstanding Nintendork I DID enjoy this game. I was just tring to show people thats its a good buy for only 5$

Holy crap, I must have been half asleep when I posted that

im on level 146
964 archers (so many i dont even have to play)
1621 auto repair guys (the enemies have to beat on my castle for about 30 sec before any damage starts to go down)
4238 wizards (all 3 items revive almost instantly)

has anyone gotten further than that? i cant seem to find anything else unlockable!

@Moose: Go watch the credits, click on either Chuck Norris, SMB3W4 or IM IN UR CONSOLEZ DFENDIN UR CASLEZ. You can't save on these though.

Fun game, but I'm gonna play through again with alot less archers becuase when you have that many you don't really have anything to watch out for. I think I'll just have 100 of each thing. Right now I have more then 600 on each.

I rate it 7.5/10 the .5 being for the fun multiplayer adds. And the whole point above what Gamespot rated (6) is for the low price. Alot of fun for such a low price.

I just cant see the point in getting this. You can just play it on the computer or if you really want to play on the wii go buy the internet channel and then play it on the wii.

this topics are old... I just got the game yesterday... There's a post on youtube of a guy who got to lvl 600

I'm late to the whole DYC thing. It was pleasantly addictive and humourous actually. Spot on review. A definate 7 (just) but no where near an 8 imho.

Great to hear that some of you are still discovering (and enjoying) the game! Thanks from the whole team here for your support!

I blew this off when I first heard of it. But lately I have been researching Wii Ware titles that rated well and I finally picked it up. I love it. I played for an hour the first night which is when I started to get a headache and my arm was starting to hurt. It is a great title for Wii Ware and a great value. Tons of replay value and my kids can jump in and out as they want to play.

No prob XGen, this internet flashgame was a huge hit so I didn't think there would be any doubt about this awesome title.
