Hallows Eve 2014 is finally here, and with the disappointment of last year there is a lot to improve upon. Last years "Biggest Map Ever" proved to be a flop and was. Here I'll be doing a review of the Halloween event.
Idea: 9/10
This is a fun, original idea, and although it uses maps from popular roblox places and some people have noticed that the games idea, which is to defend a cauldron, is similar to Guest Defence. The game though is eerie and the idea of playing through the rounds, fighting different foes and collecting badges and hats is both original and very rewarding.
Gameplay: 7/10
This game provides a fair amount of progression and the main thing that will ensure that people come back often is the badges to collect and the hats that come with them. However the game is quiet repetitive. Defeat the mobs, make sure they don't reach the cauldron, repeat. There is some good variety with the types of mobs that attack you and the scenery but there isn't a massive amount of either and you end up playing the same mobs on the same levels every few rounds.
Atmosphere: 7/10
This game is supposed to be scary, it is Halloween after all, and chiefjustus told us time and time again that it would be scary. It doesn't really live up to all of the hype though. The atmosphere that is created is eerie and spooky but not scary. The music in the game is good and adds to the feel of the place, as does the excellent use of dynamic lighting.
Environment: 6/10
The environments in the game are basically rehashed versions of other games and whilst this provides a nice continuity of the games across the site, it quickly gets boring. Apocalypse Rising, Natural Disaster Survival, Pizza Place, Crossroads, Haunted House and a new map called Bloxburg are featured in the game. The environment here just isn't as inspiring and could definitely be improved.
Enjoyment: 7/10
Despite some flaws with the environment, this game has a good atmosphere and nice progression. It isn't the best game on ROBLOX, not by a long shot, but it is enjoyable to play and thats important. Compared to the slog that was The Witching Hour, this game is a breath of fresh air which will be getting a tonne more plays this year.
Overall Score: 7.6/10
