Hell Loop

Enjoyable.

Pros:

  • It’s fun to find effective strategies.

  • The “no escape” mode is very challenging and fun.

Cons:

  • Your trap choices can make some playthroughs on higher difficulty impossible.

  • Difficulty levels are hidden in main menu.

The game is pretty great as a tower defense + strategy game. The drawings are perfect and looks pretty great for your eyes, you can’t wait that much from a platformer. However sinners can scream and that would make you feel like you’re a real Evil LMAO. However, traps are pretty enough to kill all the sinners. I had one problem with achievements. I tried many things to solve it but I didn’t had achievements while I was completing them. Contacted developer about that and he said yeah there can be a bug about achievements which will be solved %100.

Variables 2

Variables 2

V2 is a top tier tower defense game. The flow is that you start with a couple of 3x3 grids and elevator and a random raised 5 piece block. Arrange those and put your core at one end and the creep gate at the other. Place your choice of tower and then after each round you get more basic tower options. After a set number of waves you must place an additional creep gate. The gates are movable, but the core and towers are not. On advanced levels you can trade in 2 or 3 specific base towers for an advanced tower that should help you progress. Mods are random and can transform the right tower into a beast.

Amazing shooter with a tower defense vibe! The art is beautiful, the music is on point and the effects of this game it’s so pleasant to see and experience! Really awesome!

As in the previous one (The Last King’s Archer), it consists of facing hordes and more hordes of enemies, with extreme difficulty and the need to upgrade to advance. Simple and original game, simple proposal and equivalent price. The difficulty could be a little lower at first, but we are already used to the high difficulty of the developer’s games, although I think the previous one is more balanced in difficulty. Music is cool.

Defend the Rook

Defend the Rook

Great game, highly recommend trying it out. It might seem a little easy at first for this type of game where often you are meant to die a bunch and slowly become stronger with upgrades. You have 1-10 ascension levels, but the first 4 are super easy and then 7+ becomes pretty tough. I’m not super excited about how it scales at 7+ because it feels like artificial difficulty, everything starts to cost twice as much so you can’t upgrade everything. I would prefer the enemies becoming more challenging rather than having less upgrades.

Neat roguelite strategy game. Beat it on the highest difficulty, enjoyed figuring it out. I had fun with it and recommend it, but I’ll list stuff that bothered me:

-Your core loadout before any towers/traps are your castle and three heroes (warrior/rogue/mage) by default. You unlock variants of these classes as you play. It quickly became apparent to me that the easiest way to win was “buff the ranged characters” and turtle in the corner with defensive buffs. It’d be nice if the upgrades supported different goals. I believe I had one playthrough where my warrior carried me, and it’s because he had full map range, so he was basically a third ranged character.

Solid game with strong roguelite feel. If you like replayability, varying experiences within runs, fun tower defense, and a good time, the game is easily worth $17 to try out and even get more content as the game develops further.

Update: The game will still randomly crashes and the “balance” isn’t balanced at all. The game is actually harder. The research system does little to make the game enjoyable. I’ll keep trying after each update; because, I WANT to enjoy this game. I love the concept. Still only have the same three bosses.

Update: Played again since there were “Updates”. Game crashed straight away even after the V1.2 crash hot fixes. Still unbalanced. Still not a whole lot to keep people engaged. I want to like it, but honestly its a dud.

Edit: It’s become one of my favorite games on Steam! You will really have to think to beat the higher difficulty levels.

It’s a good idea, realize the execution is currently very crude, and English descriptions are laughable. ; - ) almost returned it, but I’m hoping it will continue evolving.

There are some aspects of Tetris (or more accurately Rampart) in the placement phases.

it would be better to have more tiles, as it’s easy to trap yourself with a layout you can’t expand. Edit: You will learn that you can remove the bases and relocate them! Do this wisely for better chance of survival.

If you’re a native English speaker like myself, you might have an issue locating the button to select language. It’s a small hurdle. Apart from that, once you get an idea of what you’re doing in this game, it becomes extremely interesting. You start your little game being able to flip over three tiles, which you can select one of as your turret of choice. It doesn’t end there, and if you think your level one turret will end up just taking space, it won’t. Once you get enough turrets that fit into a crafting recipe, it’ll wipe those tiny little baby turrets out and replace it with a turret with more hair on its chest than Austin Powers'.
