Survival zone
The design is bad, can’t click on towers, can’t place towers, overview of map is bad, simply a lazy job. Each level becomes EASIER and easier to complete since flamethrower tower is OP and all other waves are simply the same mobs. Finished this game in 4 hours. Waste of time and money.

For the price, a decent little Tower Defense title. Decent graphics (apart from the imps), sounds and music.
Reminds me very much (graphically and with the Hellfire boost) of the good Defence Zone series from a few years back.
No in-game tower information, but you will work out fairly quickly.
There also seems to be a bug where you can’t select and upgrade some towers that are fairly close to another unit - not a game-breaker, but annoying.

Practical Shooting Simulator
If you have any interest in stage design or competition shooting, this “game” (more like tool) has the potential to be your best friend. I’m excited to see how 269th builds on it in the future and I’m hoping to see:
1: More targets (such as the dreaded texas star or spinner)
2: A “shoot until hit scored” command, which would lead into…
3: More “useful” gear and ammunition management
4: And I think this goes without saying … many more guns and modding!
I never thought I needed something like this, but it has helped me conceptualize real-world stage design and I have already replicated a few of my own into the game to see how fast Megadroid Laura Croft can complete them.

Fun, challenging levels, the tower build queue is an amazing idea that I hope other games use in the future.
I do feel like many levels can be beaten easily by rushing the enemy spawner, but its up to you when you do this. I just wish the game made it harder, or more punishing to go for this early on.

Not your normal “generic” Tower Defense title - I like the way it challenges you beyond the norm (won’t spoil it!!)
Was initially put off by the lack of reviews, but was encouraged by the number of updates. Glad I took the chance.
Game forces you to carefully consider your priorities. Looking forward to progressing.

Hot Brass
This game is just lovely.
This does have that SWAT 4 tactical style of gameplay, and it’s a lot of fun, even in solo. The game is very nicely polished and balanced.
While when I first saw the trailer, the icons instead of player sprites seemed a bit of an odd aesthetic choice, I quickly got used to them, and gotta admit that it was an appropriate choice for this kind of game. You get information about your unit and their weapons displayed very neatly and visibly and it puts more emphasis on the actual tactics. The minimalistic design of the game allowed the developers to polish the main gameplay loop to a point where it just… FEELS really good to play.

Most of the complaints about this game seem to revolve around the theme of “This isn’t how I think it should be so it must be bad”. For every complaint I have read, I also see a lack of understanding about a game mechanic or tactics in general. There were a few instances where I had no idea why certain things were happening only to find out there was something about the game that was not specifically addressed in the tutorial or any particular level, so I did not know to look for it. But once I realized what it was (specifically, the icon distinction between holding a weapon and pointing a weapon), I could adjust. I played through the entire game solo with only a handful of trouble spots, so the whole “difficulty is built around multiplayer” argument is completely invalid.

Final Frontier
The design brief for this game was quite simple: ‘Create the most advanced strategy game yet seen on a home computer’.
The scenario was unimportant - game play was all that mattered, the computer opponent had to be the most intelligent.
The controls: Total simplicity.
The players learning curve: Steep.
Addiction factor: High.
Visual appeal: Vital.
Possible strategies: Endless
The result: FINAL FRONTIER.
Quick to learn but hard to master, FINAL FRONTIER is a fast, full icon operated 1 player vs computer strategy simulation not unlike a real time chess game where the player can design his own pieces and structure his own moves.
God of Failure
A fake and unfinished product, and can be seen very fast. Graphics and music aren’t bad, but there is nothing more better to say. No control instructions, no tutorial. No story: only groups of poor orcs that attacking a castle without any other motive than… to be orcs. Isn’t a true Tower Defense game as info tags say in the store page, really is a Time Manager based on traps of single use, and their menu texts are so little that are illegible without a magnifying glass, and isn’t a joke. The player get gold from the beginning only just watching how time goes by ( why it dont happens in real world? ) and can dig to find more for replace or emplace more miserable traps or enhanced the castle lifepoints: and thats all. But any interest is totally ruined by the nasty zoom: has been fixed too low, only rotates 90 degrees to left-right; even roll up-down the screen is not easy, and the full map cannot be see. This product is useless even as a gift because the destinatary will think you hate or despise him.

Interesting looking tower defense game that falls really short. The build traps in time mentality is okay, but combine that with make sure the traps are in perfect location in pathway and traps are really only good for one kill unless perfectly placed and timed and you have a tower defense game that comes off as way harder than it has any right to be.
This sort of master planning may be appreciated by some but I prefer the idea of laying traps and building upon that as the level goes. Here I just throw a grenade down, hopes it kills enough, than hope that my funds refill in time for me to get something else through a build phase and at the correct position to kill another enemy before they mosey on through to my castle. The digging for treasure mechanic was also a bit time consuming when your pressures to properly place and build are time consuming enough under the conditions you have to endure to survive.

No Plan B: Prologue
“When your army has crossed the border, you should burn your boats and bridges, in order to make it clear to everybody that you have no hankering after home.“Sun Tzu.
.
.
With that in Mind. This game teaches you to lay it all on the LINE when wagering your plan of execution against the enemy.
.
“NO BACKSIES”. you can drill and rehearse over and over fine tuning your approach on an occupied structure but eventually you must execute the plan. At which point you can not change it. Failure is constant success is scarce in this game but the more you play the more aware you become in the strategic head space.

This is an excellent game and a surprisingly playable demo. If you liked games like Door Kickers, Breach&Clear, Frozen Synapse you will definitely enjoy this one.
PROS
-
Excellent timeline system. It eliminates the most frustrating part of Door Kickers: the hassle around syncing operator movement. In No Plan B you can easily ensure that everyone enters into the new room in the perfect moment.
-
Active, responsive developer.
-
Daily, weekly and monthly challenges sneak in a little competitiveness.

No Plan B
Very fun game as is but needs a few tweaks.
1. Toggle movement options like sync and isolate. You have to put your hands in weird angles sometimes and if your hand comes off it ends that option.
2. Slightly higher angle of view on doorways. Sometimes enemies hide in the smallest angle that a human would otherwise see. Also a better turning system. It’s weird when the characters stop to turn instead of turning as they walk.
3. Clearer stats for weapons (like how often they shoot) and more variety of weapons

Honest to say,is not a perfect game,but it’s good.
By the way,I have some suggestions for you,hope you can see this.
I think the control of planning can be greater than now,sometimes i would delete my schedule by mistaking click.
Meanwhile,I am a Chinese Player,I think “Skirmish Mission” should called “突袭任务“ instead of “冲突任务”.
Similarly,inside the game,SWAT and FBI’s full name looks like their description not their name,maybe you can make this translation better.
And i see some review that compare No Plan B to Doorkickers.In my opinion,both are good game,and to be honest,actually DK is better than this.But at the same time,these two are different at some points.No Plan B could only have one go (Like DK’s single plan medal but it’s mandatory) ,so you must plan carefully before execute.and the preview is amazing,that’s a thing that Doorkickers cannot do,it’s really helpful for squads to moving at the same time(better than DK’s “ABCD” action command signal)
