There was little strategy involved other than "put your back to a wall", when what was needed was more attacks that attack different square placements, force you or your enemy to land on a different square, and attacks that deal better damage and hit % depending on the direction (such as an attack to the front having more accuracy than to the back).
Otherwise, the game became a simple "blast the enemy with your super stuff, rinse, repeat". The laws were lame too.
Still, it was enjoyable for some time, but I never did beat the last mission. I got to it, then quit. I probably should have finished it just to have it done, but I did not feel pulled into the game like others I have played; there was no drive to finish it.

I agree with most of that, except where you said "what was needed was more...attacks that deal better damage and hit % depending on the direction (such as an attack to the front having more accuracy than to the back)." I guess you didn't notice, but hitting from the side or behind does have a better hit percentage. Also, although I admit there aren't very many, a couple attacks do have different square placements such as fire breath and air blast, which both fire in a "T" shape. The rest of them are just box area attacks. Also, (again I admit there is only two attacks of this that I know of), there are attacks that move your enemy. The only ones I know are rush and tremor, which knock them back one square. Other than that, yeah the attacks are pretty basic. I don't know what drives me to play, maybe I just like learning a crapload of abilities then owning with them.
