Colony On Mars

Colony On Mars

Awesome game. A true must buy.

Pros:

  • Amazing graphics. The ultra presets are amazing an is a real treat for the eye.

  • Gameplay is catching. You can play this game forever.

  • Storyline. Truly an emotional story of a colony on mars, so touching and exciting.

Cons:

  • The soundtrack is only a couple of minutes long, so you’ll get pretty tired of it quickly.

10/10

Avoid this developer/publisher. None of their “games” are well made or have any thought put into them. Half of them are asset flips and the other half are no effort shovel ware.

Electromaze Tower Defense

Electromaze Tower Defense

Pros

+Endless Mode

+A good variety of towers and mobs, all well-balanced

+Many choices when upgrading

+Ability to choose targeting priority for towers

+Randomly generated Endless maps with waypoints and player-created mazes turns this into an interesting puzzle game

+Great price. $4 is just right for this type of game, even a bit of a bargain, which is part of why this game has 100% positive reviews as of this review.

Excellent. I’ve bought nearly every tower defense game on steam, and played them for thousands of hours. This is one of the best. It’s a great example of superior game design being more important than graphics. The graphics are simple, yet beautiful. Every aspect of the game is well thought out and balanced, so there are always interesting choices to make when trying to get to the next wave.

I fundamentally love tower defense games but there are a few reasons that would prevent me from recommending this to friends.

1: The balance in this game is atrocious. Unless your maze is perfect and you have the best combo of towers possible while getting the perfect seeded map - the endless achievements are quite literally impossible. Even the challenges on the higher difficulties have to be played perfectly to complete them.

2: No real data on the game. There are no sources for information on this game and the walk through doesn’t fully define everything in the game. EX: Some mobs evade attacks - what is that % dodge, are there towers that ignore the dodge, etc. There are no sources for help/vids/strats/advice.

最后的夜晚 Babel

最后的夜晚 Babel

I would really love to give this game a good review, but I simply can’t. It is broken, unfinished, and not even completely translated into English.

It is a nice, stylish looking tower defense game, but there is much that either is unexplained, doesn’t seem to work, or both.

For example every gun has options beneath it, that might mean damage, range, health, rate of fire and crit chance, but clicking on them doesn’t seem to do anything. All of those are stats given for each gun, but nothing changes when you click them, even after they seem to have leveled up fifty times.

The game has been translated over from Chinese, there are typos in some places (e.g. after base destruction). You can also see direct Mandarin in some text areas e.g a boss has appeared.

I also have a bug where if i zoom out too much the screen starts to shake i believe only on smaller maps. (May be due to ultrawide monitor 3860x1600)

Otherwise, the game is fun! Reminds me of Yorg.IO.

Great price at less than 10AUD, looking forward to updates.

First of all, let me say that this game is a great-looking interesting bite-sized experience. If you are looking for TTD in clouds, this is not that game. It’s a “tycoon” in a very shallow sense of the word. In fact, it’s incredibly hard to describe this game with nowadays expectations other than a “trading game”.

It will not have you coming back to replay again and again, but it will captivate you for a session or two. It’s like a great meal at that new place you are trying out. You wouldn’t necessarily keep ordering it again, but you do not regret the experience. I bring up a lot of mixed points below, but keep in mind that it’s all still held together impressively solidly and does not break apart.

A niche merchant game with the challenges of completing tasks and finishing five ultimate goals to complete the game. The story is about a you, a merchant who follows requests from an uncle and various other characters, using a airship. Different to the usual games I regularly play, but I love it for the fantasy elements and challenges.

The story is odd in a way where it has five main goals, the last one is the restoration of the botanical garden, while the rest are more like side-quests in this adventure world. How you adventure is by flying an airship across to floating islands, you examine the different tasks, refuel, and can buy or sell items. I really like this due to my obsession with steampunk themes, the fantasy world which is floating while working, as though it is a job. Additionally, you get to know the world a little, like the uncle and a couple of characters that want to go to tourist places, but not as in depth in the case of getting to know your crew. It is a single player game, but it is how you want to play, making profit and buying islands in order to fulfil requests and keep your business a float. As for the art, I love it, pixel art can be simple but make so much detail, and with that sort of colour palate, it is up my street. The little wacky details like the singing carrot, the octopus that has a rapper hat on, all of it adds to the personality of the game. You can upgrade your ship too, making it easier to travel and transport cargo, which is helpful to complete more side-quests to bring in the profit. If you cannot gain profit because of your output on workers and fuel, then the bank will pay you off once, then you are in dept, you will need to pay off the bank or go bankrupt. An interesting way of teaching people about the real world and dept, but it forces you to do some unplanned action by juggling the main story to side-quests, making it challenging.

Clicker Planet

Clicker Planet

I like to support Clicker or Idle game developers. I bought game + DLC and regret this after 10 minutes…

1. This game is so simple that can be made in Unity in less than 1 day.

2. There is no tactic, strategy - nothing in this game. You can just buy 3 idle source of income and… nothing more. There is no progress, no new planets - nothing

3. Game is totaly empty. You can click on 4 diffrent things and do nothing more

4. GAME RESET YOUR PROGRESS RANDOMLY! I played 10 minutes and clicked 3000 times. I was kicked out from game, when I started it again I needed to start from zero. Same happen when you buy DLC and choose diffrent planet (mirrored + diffrent color = 2 USD payment… really?)

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

I’m reviewing the game only based on my experience playing it with a controller and I haven’t tried local multiplayer yet.

DEVELOPER / PUBLISHER REVIEW 👍

─────────────

Most towers are manually fired, which is fine in and of itself. however, the basic tower requires button mashing to fire at a vaguely reasonable rate, and when you’re firing you can’t run around collecting coins. When you’re running around collecting coins, you can’t fire. The flamethrower tower can fire just by being held down, which is fine, but it’s very short range, so it’s not usable as a front line of defense. May be more fun with multiplayer, since one of you could be collecting coins while the other shoots, and you can double up on shooting when you’re close to losing. The button mashing killed the game for me.

at level 50 you end up playing the same level over and over with hardly any chance of winning. The booster bar does not work, it resets in the middle of blocks falling. I hope they fix it, its cute but not worth the time.

You may find it odd that I had a refund while also recommending the game, so I’ll get that reason out of the way first. Speed. Some levels have a 1 minute timer which was not mentioned in the description. A tiny timer is not good for this old person and I got well and truly stuck on level 20, replaying until frustrated.

Don’t let my personal hang-up put you off, though. The game is cute and colourful, with adorable animals, and offers a challenge early on. The main M3 mode is limited moves, a favourite mode of mine as it allows you to take your time and strategise. This is better than hurtling around with the mouse for a minute. Each level has different tasks to meet and there are also additional daily tasks with awards and a daily free spin of the wheel to win goodies.
