I felt that the big enemies did too much damage because when the warriors bunched up to try and kill them they all died in one shot.
Overall this felt fantastically polished.

It makes me think about Thronefall and Loop Hero
I also think the "expansion of the kingdom"-upgrade could be a way bigger area, but that's just balance.
Great job!
Great game. Really well done. Good job.
Maybe add code to make warriors come back to keep when they go too far, to prevent them from being stuck on the edges. Also to see a little more far cos sometimes enemies are outside the visible area or spawn too close. Anyway it's a great demo for a future released game to me, I'd love to play it more ! Upgrades and building system are really cool and the mood and audio are great too ! Really great job on this game I loved playing it !

Did you consider or test a version of the game where you couldn't move any buildings once they were placed? Perhaps that would be saved for a hard mode.
Amazing idea, amazing execution, the pixelart is super nice, the music a bit repetitive but it doesn't get old even after 4 retries lmao, and the gameplay is super fun !
Very nicely balanced, you have to build farms and houses to gain more money, but also build buildings that build soldiers and all else your buildings get destroyed and you gain nothing...
I managed to get to night 20 on my fourth try, wow this game is really really fun and very replayable, like actually !
You have a great gameplay loop, very balanced, very polished, I can't really think of any bad thing in the game, except the bug that makes soldier stuck when they're inside the darkness range lol, I lost a game to that I was mad... Maybe the AI can be frustrating, it seems your soldiers, healers and rangers (and buildings) target buildings/entities at random, which can make your super amazing cool army get destroyed by the darkness because they keep of targeting ennemies SUPER far away instead of the ones that are near them... Still fun to play though and it doesn't happen that often thankfully.
If you make a bigger version, I'll DEFINITELY play that !
Now that I think of it, your game has a concept that is similar to clash of clans lol, but is still very different in the execution !
Amazing game
