Best Strategy Game Yet For A Handheld

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 11 / 14

This game is one of the best games I've played. I am a big fan of strategy games, and this is on the top of my list. With three modes of play, three difficulty levels, this game will provide anyone with hours of fun. There are four levels, each one is a different time period, they are: pre-historic, medeivil, pirate, and space. The main thing you do in this game is create a fortress by stacking different shaped blocks on top of eachother. Now you may think, "o, this is just like tetris, I'm not wasting my money on a remake of a game that came out in the 80's." but it isn't. Sure the placing of blocks so they fit with eachother sounds boring, but when they all fit, they create wall sections of your thriving, or pitiful fortress. With every couple blocks that fall, there will be a twerp block, and cannon blocks, you can decide whether the twerp that will appear out of the twerp block will be either offensive, or defensive. The cannon blocks fall, and imediately (can't spell that word) start shooting at your enemy's fortress.

Overall, this game was great, and I would suggest that anyone who has a gameboy advance to purchase this game.

Tetris fan? This game is for you!

This is a strategy game in which you build your fort in many different eras. You build up a fort with tetris like blocks and can add cannons and other destructive weapons. Your goal is to destroy your oppenents fort before they destroy yours. It should provide hours of fun.

Good Strategy game

This game should be very interesting. It is a tetris like strategy game that works through the ages building and destroying castles. You must build up your castle defensivley, and add weapons that correspond with the era that you are in to destroy your opponent's castle as he/she tries to demolish yours. Another great feature in this game is the multiplayer mode. You can not only fight against a computer enemy with generated results, but you can duel a human friend. This should be a very well like game. Majesco is becoming a very well known game making company very fast, with this and Iridion 3d.

Tetris on crack!

This game is freakin' awesome! Imagine tetris...on crack! that's how crazy this game is! it's more addicting, more challenging, and never the same game twice against the ever destructive computer opponent. I can't wait to hook this up with another gba and play some of my friends. this is a must have for the emerging system. you will not regret getting this game!

...Who ever gave this video game 1 star probably doesnt remember that they only spent [a little] on this game. And for [a little] game..it's pretty good. It's a pretty simple concept with some strategy added on the side. The battles are short, the blitz's are short, and the tournament's are short. There is no actual "end" to the game..which in this case is sort of a good thing. Just mindless fun. And hey..there's multiplayer! What more could you ask from one of the cheapest video games ever made for gameboy? I should warn you though..Don't be fooled by those cute little characters on the box! This is DEFINITELY NOT a game for little kids..not because of violence or anything..just the whole concept if probably a little out of their range. RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WITH NO MONEY OR ARE BEING INTRODUCED TO THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE CONTROLS

Difficult game but fun none the less

I'm 25 and can't win. Although I'm not the best at all video games but I think I'm decent. It's hard for the little ones but it is fun even if you don't win.

Glorified Version of Tetris

Construct a fortress from Tetris puzzle pieces to protect it from the opponent's firing weapons. Select from four eras: Prehistoric, medieval, pirate and space. The weapons provided are dependent on the era choice. Your weapons will defend your fortress while you build it with falling puzzle pieces. As the fortress gets bigger and more solid, it becomes more difficult for the opposing weapons to destroy.

Occasionally, you receive twerps, cavemen, knights, or pirates. Defensive twerps rebuild the damaged areas of the fortress while offensive twerps attack the enemy. Three game modes keep it interesting: battle, blitz, and tournament. Battle is the original mode, blitz has more weapons, and tournament is four games using all four eras.

Though it has a cute cartoon look, it's not the most graphically rich Game Boy Advance game. Once a battle is over, that's it. There's no new level or battle. The only option is to start a new game and play a more advanced level. It's not much game for the price.
