IRON GUARD VR
Awesome game thus far. Playing with Standard HTC Vive, and just to be fair, I am a big fan of Tower Defense genres.
Just a note of caution to all HTC Vive players, the controls are not very well laid out for the standard Vive Touch Controllers. In order to activate the two (2) Super Weapons in the game, you need to press up on the Touch Pad, which very rarely works. You cannot even get past the Tutorial until you are able to active the Super Weapon to show you are ready to play. The tutorial was the only time I was able to get a Super Weapon to actually work…and it took several attempts even then. In game, it is nearly impossible as far as I can tell, so I have never actually used a Super Weapon on enemies as of yet.

Cascading Failure
A solid RTS/FPS hybrid that forces you to consider the environment when tackling any objective. The variety of assets you have will have you toying with various strategies in the game like occupying buildings that oversee an entrance to an objective, or setting up a defensive line of turrets, or even hunkering down with a massive heavy walker. You also have a bit of a tech tree that you unlock with points you earn in the game, most of it being weapons that you can equip to certain soldiers or bring in yourself.

TLDR: A really unique combination of a FPS and RTS. The game currently offers two different game modes: A horde mode (“Wave Defense”) and a skirmish mode (“Assault”) on several maps (Single player or co-op online up to 4, PvE only). As well as a training course with a shooting range to try all the different weapons out which can be unlocked for the main game modes by playing them. Overall the game feels quite polished in comparison to what I have witnessed with other early access game on release. It is nicely playable and offers definitely enough fun hours to be worth the reasonable price it’s asking. I can especially recommend the Assault mode in Co-Op :)

Starlight: Defence Command
This is such an addictive tower defence game with some features I’ve never seen for this genre of game before. I was invited to be an alpha tester on this game. It’s got an 80’s Tron vibe for me, but with some epic music and sound effects. Very configurable towers, and more interest that a kind of repetitive TD app game, with proper missions rather than just the same level over and over.
One of my favourite aspects is that the levels have a kind of “fixed” duration (if you make it to the end of the level that is..) I like this because I’m one of those people who is motivated through my procrastination by playing games …okay I’ll just play Level 1 for 20 minutes…then laundry for 20 minutes…level 1 again…then something else I need to do in the real world. This really suits my preferred playing style for a game.

This is a more cerebral TD game in a genre that leans towards kuwaii aesthetics. Tower customization is probably the most detailed I have seen and it is pretty satisfying when you dial in an effective tower strategy. There is leveling up, so it is worth replaying early maps and it gives you a chance to try alternate methods. The story is interesting and told in text and can be ignored if you don’t care about it.
Developer responded to a minor issue I noticed within 24 hours. Definitely worth trying out if you like TD.

Tyfortress: Tactical Typing
This is an excellent typing game. The difficulty scale ranges from sheer beginner skill level, to very difficult… I am fairly good at typing with an average wpm of about 90 (highest of about 120 or so), and the harder levels gave me quite a challenge. I have not yet earned every achievement, although I do intend to. Can’t beat the price too. Worth the money!

Very good for the price. The vocabulary and sentence structure is a little weird, but I really like the design and game play of it. Engaging and fun.
