Game Review
Everyone's had some serious problems with their neighbors at some point of life. I mean, those that really trying hard to get on your nerves. Littering or blasting music in the late night. Too bad, nasty neighbors are part and parcel of life. Don't fret. Deadly Neighbors 2 is a new addictive strategy game that will deal your neighbors in the most direct way; battling to the death. It has brought a few new concepts to the table that make this game even better than the original Deadly Neighbors.
You will firstly start off by forming and customize a team of three people aka family. Your goal is to kill all of your neighbors behind the yard, using swords, guns and various projectiles, along with special abilities that really spice up the game. Deadly Neighbors 2 took a strategic interface as it is a turn based tactical strategy flash game. Its lay down in grids and you maneuvering your family around the screen turn by turn. Defeat your opponents by reducing to zero hitpoints to win. Meanwhile, you also earn coins to unlock more classes, and upgrade points to toughen your own team up or allocate new abilities. The challenging part is that you will only have exactly 15 upgrade points; you won't be able to upgrade everyone in your family. You have to make a tough decision and choose wisely. Pro tip: Always explore and understand every single abilities and re pick your abilities when you think it's not right.
Deadly Neighbors 2 have made good use of the Kongregate API. After defeating 15 families, you will have to defeat a family designed by another player in order to upload your own family. Your family will eventually be the final boss in someone else's game. I know you won't want others to win so easily right? So, try to be as tricky as possible when it comes to designing. You need to be E.V.I.L!
Many of the enemies are well balanced, but hold very unique difficulty in it. If you got stuck, one of my favorite features of the game is to “re-roll” the enemy units but I seldom use the button. When I do, I thought I can take these guys... HOLY SHIT! IS THAT A NOKIA? All in all, Deadly Neighbors 2 is one of the best strategy games I’ve played in a while. If you’re looking for an awesome strategy game to spend a bit of time on then this is your flash game.

Recommended Build for Deadly Neighbors 2
There are around 220 possibilities to create a family. It can be indeed challenging to create your evil family that will turn out to be someone else's evil neighbor. Below are some of my favourite ways you can build to beat the game:
Build Chargers, Bruisers and Shooters
One of the well-balanced team; you got a range, a melee and a tank! Range and melee will do all the damage, while the big bruisers stand at the front line to absorb all the incoming damage. What's more can you ask? To me, this is like the most original and classic family you can build. You can't go wrong with this.
Build all 3 Shooters
They have decent attack speed and can cause stun. Pretty much unstoppable if you take down opponent's range (such as shooters) or main character. One of the best crowd control team you can ever build. Stun here, stun there. Most of the time, you get to attack more than opponent does.
Build all 3 Kids
Kids have excellent attack speed and one of the coolest skills. This is actually my very first build and I lasted most of the stages. With proper strategy and formation, you can deal an overwhelming damage to all kinds of classes. The damage are outrageous, most member including the bruisers will normally die in the 4 turns max.
Build all 2 dogs & cats
A team of passive & active healers that can do a reasonably amount of damage. No one will have thought of healers to be killers. I tend to have 600 remaining HP among my team at the end of each round. They are indeed man's best friends. Good puppy and kitty!
Build all 3 Tinkers
With full electrocution upgrades and ranged damage reduction. And what do I get? A family that's even more ridiculously powerful. The opponent can't even play because of stun! Tinkers are overpowered, don't underestimate their power. You will be quite surprised by the damage output.
Build Emo Goths, Dogs and Zombies
This family member combinations is surely gonna be your neighbors' nightmare. Dogs are more than just healers, they can be quite deadly too. Zombies is considered a tanky member with especially all the regen. And Emo Goths are just irritating.
