haunTD
Overview & Key Features:
The game of haunted contraptions.
You wake up on an island as a ghost. The land is scattered with ruins from a not-so-long-ago disaster, and the fallout is creating swarms of hostile mutants. This isn’t the afterlife you had envisioned.
Explore the world, defend against a mutating enemy, and discover what brought you back here. In this tower defense game, enemies get stronger with every passing minute, gradually transforming and acquiring abilities and power. Every 3 nights, a new boss will appear. Gather resources & build a strong enough base to defeat all 12 bosses to win. haunTD was designed with new and experienced Tower Defense fans in mind. Clearing the main “levels” in a successful run takes approximately 90 minutes, but like similar games, it will take much longer – between 12-18 hours of gameplay – to fully experience the game including all unlockable towers, outfits, and story pieces. haunTD is currently single-player, but with framework and plans in place for 4-8 cooperative multiplayer in the works.
Gameplay Mechanics:
haunTD is a Tower Defense game at heart, with new mechanics that give a creative and open-ended feeling.
Uncover the story through key artifacts and locations.
Haunt anything you find to unlock new vehicle and tower parts. Defeating enemies gives you more energy & allows you to haunt more powerful tower parts and upgrade modules. Destroying the hardest enemies will give you access to the rarest tower parts.
Haunting is hard work. Start with the basics and work your way up to more powerful contraptions.
Modular tower building: Combine different turret bases, weapons, and effect canisters that you find to create powerful contraptions with unique, synergized effects. Each tower part is unique - some heal you and other towers, some attach bombs to enemies, and the list goes on. Get creative and make whatever baddie-crushing tower you want.
A ghost can go anywhere and haunt anything, after all.
Synergy: Tower parts work together, and so do towers. Build up a base strategically, upgrade, and repel hordes of mutating enemies who gain or lose abilities over time based on the defenses they encounter.
Achieve victory through supernatural tower defense tactics and a bit of luck!

Kingdom: New Lands
An otherwise simple and fun little survival game ruined by frustrating mechanics.
Kingdom: New Lands is a simple survival sort of game. From what the tutorial, in the form of the previous ghostly monarch, tells you in small words, you have to “Build, Expand, Defend” It’s fun at first, you have a couple citizens, you buy tools to make them builders or hunters, and you build, expand, and defend, and than you might just have doomed yourself already.
First off, everything in this game is done by the power of money, you use coin to do everything, and anything. If you don’t have any coin, you can’t do a single thing but wait. Through the final words, build, expand, and defend, your first run may have you do just that, build your walls, expand them, than defend at night. First wave comes, it’s easy and you survive. All seems well unless you’ve fallen into a major mechanic the game hasen’t told you. You realize your hunters arn’t making any coin, which is because you may of over-expanded and now those little rabbit spawn points are behind your walls, which makes them despawn, therefor killing your economy. Thankfully there’s some treasure chest around the map to give you more coin to do things, so if you thought to explore and find them, you can play a little longer.

Kingdom: New Lands is the sequel to Kingdom: Classic and is bigger in scope in every way. Much of what I said for Kingdom: Classic holds true for Kingdom: New Lands as well, but there are quite a few changes that need to be addressed.
First of all there’s multiple stages this time around. The victory condition in this game typically involves rebuilding the ship (around 50-120 gold) to sail to the next island (up until Skull Island). You may ferry over a handful of troops and builders to the next island, so carry what you can, because you’ll need it.

Purgatory Overkill
Played this game on the day of the early access release and I like it.
It is a (simple) VR tower defense game but it does not pretend to be anything more. And for that, I like it: it is perfect for VR, well developed and (in my opinion) catchy. I hope the developers keep on expanding this game in the near future.

‘Purgatory Overkill’ is a pretty traditional VR tower defence game. You get a small number of different turrets like machine gun and laser, plus a handful of guns for yourself to fire with all of which are small firearms. The gameplay is shallow with nothing new at all and the graphics are OK at best, but it is the lack of variety and indeed content as a whole that really puts me off recommending this. If this game was just a quid or two I would be telling you to go for it, but when it costs £19.99 full-price there is simply no way I can recommend it. This is a good attempt at a cheap indie tower defence game, only it’s not cheap.

Role of Hex
If you like creeper world and roguelikes you will also like this.
– Real player with 31.8 hrs in game
A really nice mix between base building, Rogue and Strategy with a simplistic style which fits the game. Love that you’ve to mix between being not too bold and expand too quickly or take it too slow and not be prepared for the bosses.
Keep it up developers!

Control Craft 3
Great little RTS in the same mode as Mushroom Wars, Galcon etc. And a superb follow-up to Control Craft 2.
There’s been quite a few negative reviews - so I’m writing this one on the basis of the latest patch. A new dev has taken ownership, and has been very active:
-
24 new maps (from CC2 - but they play very different in this game, so even if you breeze through CC2, you’ll find this a much harder task to complete)
-
new equipment (when I can upgrade, I suspect it will make the 24 new maps a bit easier going)
– Real player with 28.4 hrs in game
Control Craft 3 is a mobile app that’s been dumped on Steam as a lazy cash grab. It’s the third in a series of ultra simple “numbers” game where you drag your soldiers into towers and eventually get more numbers than the enemy and swarm their towers. The interface is ultra minimalistic. The game is a ripoff of many much older games like Galcom, and the gameplay is unchanged.
This is a PC port of an Apple app store game with banner ads and everything. In game advertising is a complete insult to gamers everywhere. There’s no fullscreen and you can play the game for free on the web, but without the ads. How can I recommend paying for this when it’s free on the web?

Robobo TM
Wow! Didn’t expect to have so much fun with this game. It has shooting, exploration and invisible stuff lurking all over the place. I KNOW! Most of them are itens to boost your level, but I love to discover things anyway. =D
You can unlock new abilities and improve your overall stats. Pretty cool!
Took me about one and a half to two hours to get to the end and then I discovered that i missed some blue bugs.
I’ll be returning back to the game soon and will try to find these missing bad boys.

FPS Tactics
Oh my gosh, I cannot believe this game exists
do not buy!!!
its so laggy stuff load as you walk up to it, there no instructions,
thing MOOOOS like a minecraft cow,
looks like a fps but not really you cannot shoot it dead, only can have one gun at a time cannot find ammo after you run out your out, even after you respond no new ammo,
you have to place the 4 agents so that they can defeat the monster you cannot,
and after that the game is over,
These are all the assets you could get from HB Unity 2 bundle,

Garden Of Mooj
Garden of Mooj is a monster farmer simulator where you raise cute little slime monsters called Mooj. You find different types of food and feed them to your Mooj and it will train their stats in different ways. Every night even scarier monsters come to try and destroy your Mooj statue and you must defend yourself using the Mooj you have raised. Once you train your Mooj, their abilities can unlock gates to allow you passage into new areas, as you make your way across the world trying to save it from a mysterious enemy. Mooj is fairly similar to games like Slime Rancher and the Chao Garden from Sonic Adventure, and was a lot of fun. The game also has a really decent jazz/easy listening soundtrack.
– Real player with 19.6 hrs in game
I find this game strangely addicting and loads of fun despite how simple it is.
Its a good game for just not worrying and getting a good chuckle and you can make your mooj fairly different.
Pros:
Relaxing
Silly and cute
Addicting
Cons:
it can be a bit buggy
its not entirely clear on what to do
could still use more to do(personal bias)

Age of Giants
Pretty neat game for a dollar.
When i reached prestige 2 most of the maps keeps crashing, might even crash at last lvl just because you speed the game up or click on a tower to repair it too fast.
i didn’t have a single crash before reaching prestige 2 though…
At this rate i can’t complete the game because of this issue
i really want to give this review a yes but mainly because i can’t continue playing i feel like i have to give it a no. :(
