    Glad to see that I'm not the only one disappointed with this Secret Realm. The only good things that came from this anniversary celebration imo is the lottery thing where new players have to enter your code, the game flat out giving you Hoya Heart with the Boss Rush event, and (I guess) the Guitar Artifact imo.

    The least bad modifier in my opinion is zombies deal 200% more damage
    They will always be level 5, or even above that meaning everything that isnt a defensive plant will already die when lightly touched
    So 200% doesnt matter unless your using defense planses (which doesnt matter since quite a few of these levels ither outright banned defensive plants,
    or just made their recharge 3 times longer, making them nearly unable to be placed)

  • @dangng7079
    @dangng7079 Рік тому +8

    These objective really remind me of an event from another tower defense game (Arknights) and How much better they handle that event ( It's called Contingency Contract) compare to this atrocity : . So in that event , quite similar to this , you can choose contract to make a map harder by adding debuff to alliance ,buff to all enemy or a specific special enemy . But here is the deal : the game is more of a traditional tower defense (kinda like BTD and kingdom rush ) , it have a lot more mechanic and gimmick to add into a enemy/environment around the map that force you to take a different approach . For example "stealth' will make a enemy immune to basically anything unless they are block ,dodge for a centain amount of time , deal massive damage around if take enough damage , .... Buff enemy's stat dont make the stage worse but make it more complicated , weak enemy at the start is still weak but put more pressure on your defense early on forcing you to use your resources effectively and act as meat shield for more threatening enemy later , special enemy are tankier so you cant just murder them instantly and force to understand their mechanic ,use the right counter to chip them down over time/ reach them and minilize they destruction . Special enemy in this game dont just put a constantly pressure on your defense ,they do walk around the map or just standing around , MENACINGLY, giving you the chance to shut them down before they reach your main defense and murder everything . The event/game is way too complicated to explain it all under this comment so if you are interested i can make a brief summary of a season of contingency contract under this comment .And thanks for video my guy ,Love from Vietnam (and sorry for my broken english )

    DEar god this version of the game is even more of a trainwreck than the original, so much so that the train is 20 km from the track

    I beat all the lvs.
    I took me 3 weeks to complete.
    It even sucks with lv 5 plants.
    At least I have a lot of lv 5 plants.
    The worse objectives are the seed slot objective and the sun objective. And a 1 hour video from Flag? Thats best.

    Didnt know that the chinese version even existed but now i do so unless the levels are like way easier to obtain you are literally locked out of the event unless you get a lvl 4 plant which seems to be 1 below the max

    This level of laziness is actually kind of sad. Like, they either didn't have the resources or didn't care to make any good levels, for the 10th anniversary no less. It's like the game is barely holding onto its life, only kept alive by developers who just don't really care anymore.
