Happy Wars, developed by Toylogic, is the first free to play (requires an Xbox Live Gold subscription) action tower defense game, think Fat Princess with towers. It was a lot of fun to finally get to play it especially during Extra Life. However, when we were playing there were issues with the mutliplayer servers so it was a bit hard to get into a game.
Loves:
- The character design – the characters are very herp derp (but still very cute)
- The artwork – it was very cartoony
- Getting into a game with people that have similar Theme Tags (For example, if I have a theme tag of CAT, I can get into a game much easier with people that have the same theme tag)
- The roulette game you can play by spending coins gained in the game to get more items (I got a Pig Shield)
Hates:
- Confusing gameplay – I must have played the same damn level over and over without getting a new map or anything – maybe it was a glitch but I didn’t get new maps
- Pay per credits for Happy Tickets – I don’t wanna pay real money to get things in the game (I’m sure some don’t mind this but I do) – but kudos for the being one of the first games to have that pay for credit model
- One hit kills – I got bopped by some Mage like every time
- No offline co-op mode – I would have loved to play with my friends offline against the computer
Overall, it was a fun game and I could see myself playing it for awhile. Pick it up today!
