Hello mates, any advice for the level 3-18?
I three-starred every level on the map on the first try
except for 3-15 and 3-18...fuck those two.
The trick with 3-18 is that you are
required to withdraw your valkyries and shift them around.
I got through phase 1 with goblin, elf, and fox-girl on the far-left, blasting the regenerating fish monsters with stuns and DoT statuses. You'll learn the timing. For best results, go ahead and move goblin girl closer to the level exit once the fish move past her--upgrade the heroines as you like, but remember to keep 90 in reserve so you can change her position.
Phase 2 actually kind of sucked, but I posted goblin girl close to the right monster entrance with dragon girl to her right and harpy girl sort of in the middle of the map--she gets ludicrous range. Wolves got past everyone because I didn't micromanage properly--what you have to do in some areas is play on the slowest setting, then pause as soon as a heroine's skill cools down. Take your time to activate and aim it, then hit play.
Phase 3 was about stacking stuns and statuses again. I let a few of the phoenixes get past everyone, again because I was focused on upgrading instead of managing skills, but I passed the level with one star.
I posted my review before actually finishing the game, and I'd definitely add a paragraph explaining that the game doesn't really scale properly--the micromanaging I'm describing is the
opposite of fun, and it's completely necessary for the two hardest levels in the game. Unless you turn on easy-mode, I guess. This probably would've been a bitch to code, but having more than three waves in the later levels would've been a better experience--or mixing enemies so that no heroine is ever completely useless. Likewise, the relocation feature felt...stupid. Making that free, or cheaper, between waves would've incentivized players to use it more, and being able to choose whether a heroine gets her skill, attack speed, or attack strength buffed when she upgrades would've added a ton of variety.
But this is a porn game. So...
Eh.
