Acorn Assault : Rodent Revolution | REVIEW |

Acorn Assault is a quirky, tail-bobbing turn-based strategy game. Raise an army, overthrow a tyrant King and save the oppressed squirrels! Do you have what it takes to start a Rodent Revolution?

The squirrels of the forest grew poorer and more starved each day that passed thanks to the tyrant King Lois the Umpteenth. It is up to you to raise an army to overthrow the king and set the world right again. Embark on an nutty journey filled with a strange cast of characters through a historically inaccurate retelling of the French Revolution with squirrels.

If you are a fan of turn based strategy games and want something different from the status quo, this game is for you. The deceptively simple to learn rules of the game lead to a varied set of strategies that you can employ to defeat your enemy and march on.

Story
King Lois the Umpteenth and his queen Marie Antoinutte reigned over the poor and starved squirrels of the forest. The king's greed knew no bounds and set out to bankrupt his people by taxing their hard earned acorns. With no acorns to any of the peasant's names they grew angrier and angrier as each day passed.

On one cold dark evening, the King had sent his loyal tax man to collect the acorns from Charles DeMontequirrel who had refused to pay the unjust nut tax. As the tax man knocked on Charles' wooden door it swung wide open. Charles stood before the tax collector visibly upset as he was scolded for not following the king's unfair decrees. Charles could no longer simply refuse to pay up and wanted only to set things right. He snatched the legal document the collector shoved in his face and tore it to pieces. A call to arms was made and a skirmish set outside of Charles' house as he began his battle with the tax man and set forth on his rodent revolution upon the king and his men.
The gameplay is quite satisfying. It is kind of a mix between a light strategy game and a match three game. You play units to the gameboard grid and you attack the other player. When you play three of the same unit next to one another they combine together to form a stronger unit. While the game is not deeply strategic, the game has enough strategy to keep it interesting and I had quite a bit of fun with the game.

While the game is not going to be for everyone, there is only two complaints that I have with the game. First the single player campaign is pretty short since it is only around 4-5 hours long. The other problem is that once you figure out the computer's strategy, it becomes quite easy to beat the computer. This means that if you want more than 4-5 hours from the game you are going to need to play the multiplayer mode.

If you are interested in the theme or like light strategy games or match three games I think you will enjoy Acorn Assault: Rodent Revolution.

like Plants versus Zombies but then after starting to play I saw its different and I never played a game like that before. Since there was no tutorial how explain you how to play, I watched the computer when he startet his fight agains me and learned how it workes. Also he showed me his tricks with the 3 squirrel and barrels.

The first levels are pretty easy and helps you to understand the game how it work and how to play it right.

Graphic is sweet and music is okay but a bit boring because its always the same music.

I didnt had any bug and game makes fun.

I would suggest to try the game and if you dont like it you still can refund it on steam if you dont like it
more then 2 hours.
