Fiery Disaster

So I've finally found some time to play this game and... it's perfectly fine. A fun action clicker that will eat up some of your time untill you get used to the difficulty.
By no means is it an AAA masterpiece and a Game of the Year material, but honestly, you could spend your money way worse. Fiery Dissaster delivers what it promisses - fast paced action with a pinch of strategy and resource management (in regards to your regular attack overheat metter, upgrades, or even unburnt ground that damages the enemies more the first time your lava plume lands on it, etc.).
I honestly don't know why somebody would find it not reccomenable for people who are into such games. One reviewer says he/she doesn't see the point of this game. Well, for the most part, the purpose of any game is to be fun for the player, and Fiery Dissaster is fun (again, if you like such games). Another one says it's not really tower defence and strategy. Well, while agree it's not a full blown strategy game, neither is Bejeweled and it still has the tag. There are different flavors of strategy, and this game is one of them. Also, it's not a tower defense game? Then what the hell is it? You have a tower (volcano), and you defend it. You don't build stuff apart from getting upgrades, but of course it's a tower defense game! Also, if you check the instructions box (or play long enough, which the negative reviewers didn't apparently), you'll see it's actually a bit more complex than meets the eye. Hell, it even has two player mode!
Ok, rant over.
In regards to technicalities, again, they're fine. Simple, but neat, 2D graphics and OK music and sounds (apart from the overheatting noise - goddamn, that's annoying. Fortunatelly, you can turn it of in options). You also get a well made intro and a dark-ish plot about everybody getting crazyier and crazyier as the story goes, that also serves the purpose of introducing new upgrades. Wickedly fun. Also, the game is polished. We all know what "gems" one can get from Greenlight, and this game shows that the creators at least gave a damn. I haven't had any critical errors, gamebreaking bugs or anything like that. In fact, I don't think I've had any trouble with the game whatsoever.
As far as I know, this is the studio's first game. This means not everything will be perfect, of course. Apart from the overheating sound (I know, I know, it's just... damn, I guess the creators and beta testers were good enough not to hear it constantly, like I did) and OK graphics and sound (again, enough, but nothing too fancy) there are some things that show their inexperience, but nothing too bad.
My issues/advice for the creators:
- why is it called Arcade mode when it's basically survival? You could avoid at least one negative review if you called it that, so that people don't click first to check gameplay.
- The color of unlocked missions and locked missions is the same on my monitor (the former should be white, the latter grey I guess, everything white-ish for me).
- Arcade mode has no description – the first thing that appears after clicking it is the choice between single- and multiplayer and then leaderboard. It just begs for an introduction like „Welcome to Arcade (coughcoughSurvivalcough) mode. Here, you have to try to survive for as long as possible. Note you should play Campaign first to get to know the mechanics etc. etc.”
And that's it. These are my biggest gripes with the game. Which can telly you one thing – the game is polished enough that I had to grasp at straws to find something bad to say about it thats not “derp, I haven't even checked the video introducing the game on store page and it's not what I thought, 0/10”, which, honestly, is silly.
All in all, I heartly recommend the game for people who like both action and tower defense. The game is fun, you can see the developers have potential and work hard to make it as good as it can be. I'll be looking forward to their next games, and so should you.

Played for some time already. It's funny but demanding and fast paced (no coffe time during round!). New elements are brought in the game in civilized matter, yet it takes some time to master them.
Only thing that was confusing for some time was building's purposes, but after a moment u can remember this easily.
If u like games that are rewarding but aren't too easy on You, try this one.

I played the demo before release, and was looking forward to the full version. The game is a lot of fun, and very unique! But it's difficult, I'm stuck on mission 6, almost beat it but not quite yet :O
And the music is really epic!

I am 32 years old.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing.
Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side.
With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.
After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like.
Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends.
Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together.
Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.
Thank you.

The game seems pretty nice, if you're into tower defense games - you should definitely like it.
