This game (like everyone else is saying) is technically and visually impressive.
My advice for this game: drop the up-front PAY US LOL bullshit. Don't make people click through 18 menus to play the game. Drop the stupid achievements: "You clicked exactly where we told you to! Here's a diamond!" just isn't doing it for me. Let people start right away by building a town. No weapons, no build restrictions.
THEN once people have something to protect, start laying on the "That's a nice little town you've got there. It'd be a shame if something were to happen to it." Town under attack? Need a new tower fast? One dollar won't kill you.
Not that I ever play any F2P games (ever), so take this with a grain of salt, but suck people in and give them a reason to pay you. Everyone likes games where they build stuff. Now make them pay to fight entropy... but you've got to get them building right away, because I lost interest pretty fast.
