Stealing Valve's graphical assets and then submitting your game with them inside is a next level strat.

Update: My game got reset. That $0.99 I paid for coins (purely for this review's sake) is now gone and so are the coins and everything I spent them on. I reported this game to Steam for fraud. I suggest you all do the same.

Poor graphics, poor audio assets, consistently poor translation and lag on a computer that is dozens of times powerful enough to run a game with this caliber aren't enough to entirely condemn this game. The gameplay can work (maybe a bit better on a touch screen) and it is moderately satisfying to play, but some very poor decisions destine this game for deletion.

Spartans vs Zombies Defense is comparable to Battle Cats. You buy units and upgrades to defend your castle gate from waves of enemies and push forward to destroy their spawn. You can use items and cast abilities to aid your units or to harm the enemy. There are enough mechanics and upgrades to keep the game playble, perhaps all the way through the 60 waves provided.

The flaw with this game is that it is free to play with in-game transactions. They are not balanced. It begins to become horribly tedious to beat wave 10 without them and I imagine that it would take months of straight, active gameplay to get to wave 60 without them. The enemy/leveling system progresses in a way where they are necessary, and that's just cynical. The game would be much better if it had no microtransactions, had a balanced leveling system, and cost $2.50. It probably would have made a lot more money, too (I feel dirty for spending $0.99 to test the coins for the sake of this review).

While I did say that this game had bad graphics, that can't even begin to describe just how bad they are. The icons for the castables are plagarized from DotA 2. I did not immediately realize that Magic Arrow was a colorized Starstorm (Mirana) icon or that Protection was a hue-shifted Time Walk (Faceless Void) icon, but the second that I unlocked Fiery Souls, I recognized it as the Shadowraze (Shadow Fiend) icon. I'm not sure if Wild Attack was stolen as well, but it is difficult to imagine otherwise. I'm certain that other assets were stolen as well - I doubt that the creators asked Gerard Butler or Warner Brothers for permission to slap his face on Leonidas, or on the game's banner, for that matter. I wish YFC luck on their legal endeavors.
