"Stormshot, a thunderous mix of excitement and frustration, outshines its rivals in explosive gameplay."

Remember Evony? Remember the sexy ads for Evony? "Come play, my lord!" At the strategic level, this is Evony, but at the low level, it's more of a fun puzzle game. Like the Stormshot ads, there are fun Sharpshooter segments where you try to hit a pirate or save a villager by ricocheting off obstacles and hitting special objects. Like the Evony ads, there are sexy lady heroes on your team. Like Evony itself, you are building out an estate, with armies, buildings, farming resources, researching, leveling up, you join an alliance, and other players can attack and destroy your estate while you sleep at night. And like Evony, each level up doubles the time and resources to build, so eventually it could become a giant time suck. But like Evony (and other free-to-play games) you can buy speedups, resources, and prestige with real money, so if you prefer, it could become a giant money suck instead. Leveling up to world class could cost thousands, not a great value. But F2P players don't need to buy speedups or resources -- at lower levels, it's not hard to earn resources, and there is a way to speedup instantly without spending resources. Unlike Evony, there are ghost pirates, mermaids, magic, animated battles, quests, gear, and holiday themes, and there's plenty else to do if your'e waiting for an upgrade, so it's more fun. No in-game control to exit? Just close the window. But will you lose current progress?
