  The game’s seemingly unnatural difficulty spikes can get a little tiresome, especially when you’re overwhelmed so quickly, but with plenty of nuance stemming from its simple mechanics (and a really catchy little soundtrack), you’ll soon find yourself managing your barbarian horde like a true chieftain.

  Crush Your Enemies! is really fun to play thanks to it being simple to learn yet soon providing a difficult challenge. Cartoony pixel art graphics look good and run very smoothly. There are far too many video ads that appear right after failing or completing a level. The enemy AI seems to have more managing options than actual players do. The cut scenes, while sometimes funny and skippable, take up a good chunk of the game. This is a heavy game.

  Ultimately, Crush Your Enemies spends a lot of time mocking RTS tropes – and sure, plenty of RTS games have their issues. But if Vile Monarch’s intent was to strip back those tropes and create a smooth, snappy, accessible RTS experience, then their attempt has been largely unsuccessful. There is too much focus on what is wrong with other RTS games – so much so, it appears that Vile Monarch feels like the entire genre is basically missing a sense of humour rather than anything else.

  All told, Crush Your Enemies is a great combination of depth and simplicity. Varied levels with unique challenges provide several hours of entertainment with a consistent, witty tone. Whether you prefer your games creatively bite-sized or just want to take a break from a game that’s been sucking up all your time, Crush Your Enemies is definitely worth a look.

  As it is, Of Carrots and Blood is an entertaining and energetic, if not short-lived, twin-stick shooter that is enjoyable in short bursts or with friends. However, the repetitive nature of its gameplay and the lack of diversity or variety really hinders the overall experience, and results in a title that is ultimately underwhelming and one that fails to distinguish itself as anything but mindless arcade action.

  8.0

  With the increasing complexity offered in strategy games, Vile Monarch took a risk with an old school approach to Crush Your Enemies and making each stage a brief skirmish opposed to a drawn out epic battle as well as making the layout incredibly simplistic. The reason this title succeeds is they were able to make such a streamlined RTS without sacrificing the need for a well thought out strategy to crush anyone.
