The game is a mix between a breakout-style game and a strategy game. There is also some hands on action mixed in to keep the player always engaged. The main gameplay is that there is a battle between your army and the enemy army. Throughout the battle a fireball is flying around the battlefield, hurting everything in it's path. You must use your magic shield to reflect it or it will destroy the defences you have built up.

-Multiple battles to fight.
-New buildings and units to unlock.
-Unique giant bosses for every stage.
-A story-based campaign involving multiple fantasy lands.

So, if I'm understanding correctly, it's sort-of "anti-breakout": the player is trying to prevent "blocks" from being "broken"?

That, combined (again if I understand correctly) with using the fireball to damage incoming enemies, sounds like it could make for a fun experience! ^_^

That's the idea. The fireball can be used for good or evil haha I think it adds a nice action element and something else to effect the battlefield.

I like the twist and the idea that you need to protect the area at the bottom.

I think that your sprites will look better (especially bigger ones) if you commit to one source light point. It's best to keep it at the top, especially since you already have shadows at the bottom. This should be applied to buildings as well.

Adding some shadows under the characters (in the same way as you have done with bosses) will make them more grounded visually.

Also, dark text in your main menu is not very readable against darker gray, even though you have those brighter outlines. It's worth that you experiment further with that.

Here's a fast edit with some suggestions related to the above light source position comment (I didn't want to change the designs just, just give suggestions). I hope it will be helpful.

The game is getting oh so close to completion! I'm really just working on a few aesthetic things and then it will be ready to go!

I did adjust a lot of the unit/building powers so those posts above have been updated to reflect the changes.

World map is done! I really like how it turned out!

Athea is the heroine of the game! She is the sole guardian of her homeland Valel. Her older brother, once a guardian of Valel with her, vanished two years ago. Her strengths include her unmatched tactical abilities, adaptibility, and confidence. She is an incredible leader but is no slouch in melee combat either. She fights with her trusty spear and magical shield that is said to defend against any weapon. She has defended her homeland from rock giants and raids that threaten her people.

The full game will now include post game content! On beating the campaign, you will unlock an endless mode! This mode has you select 6 buildings from the game to use and see how long you can survive!
