Endless Horde

Endless Horde

Cheap, Challenging and Fun but lacks Developer support

Positives

  • Game Cards

  • Not one game/redo is the same (objectively you have to defend the scientist/s so they spawn at different locations)

  • Fun and short your not thrown into massive amounts of HUD

Negatives

  • Bugs (as of writing this review)

*Zombies become immortal after a certain wave, 7 10 or 11

*Zombies AI paths wrongly, get glitched walking/stuck against walls, enter aggro/running mode even tho object isn’t in line of sight and is over the other side of the wall

I love the attempt on a fresh take on tower defense. We really need those attempts. Sadly, I don’t think it worked out very well this time.

Most commonly seen in tds you steadily build up your defenses and get stronger as you go. It’s about composition and timing.

But here it’s about losing all your stuff as slowly as you can. I know it’s a vague point of critique, but the constant feeling of impending doom; it’s not if you’ll lose but when, bundled with some pretty hectic mechanics. I feel scrolling around the map clicking loot-boxes before they disappear(!) is disappointingly boring, if not straight up awful gameplay.

Pillars Of Protection

Pillars of Protection is a team-based tower defense game. Towers can move and take on complex movement patterns over time. You can play online multiplayer in PvP or PvE modes.

Short but mostly alright defense game

Every now and then I give a shot for a game that looks pretty bad for some reason. For this one, it was very plain looking achievements: each of them just “shoot X arrows”. The defending archer shoots them automatically. In other words, you get them by passing time in the game.

So I expected this to be bad. It was okay instead! For a €0.50 it’s just barely recommendable if you want a silly casual game and some achievements.

Orczz

Orczz

Orczz is a tower/lane defense game and a blatant ripoff of Plants Vs Zombies. Gameplay is mostly identical.

One of the simple rules of thumb when it comes to ripping off games is that you have to be better than the game you’re ripping off, and exceed that game is most respects. Orczz is inferior in all respects. The resolution is fixed and there’s not even widescreen support, the game runs in 4:3 pillarbox, despite being released in 2016. The $4.50 price tag is a joke. I do not recommend this game.

The Last Roman Village

The Last Roman Village

I got the chance to play the demo of this game as an early build thanks to the awesome guys over at the Twin Stone Studio, for letting me play and produce some game play footage it was a pleasure to play in such early game. The music of the game is beautiful and easy on the ears, The format of waves is very fun and will get harder, The artwork is outstanding colourful and amazing very easy on the eyes, This game is very family friendly and has easy to get to grips with controls, The game play is very smooth in all this game to me has got everything I could ask for.

Penultimate final review updated early April 2020 (I’ve still got some updating to do as this review is based on the early ‘work in progress’ version, plus I’ve repeated myself in several places. I don’t know when I’ll be posting the final version, but it will be eventually.)

In Brief:

The Last Roman Village is a strategy defense game that gives freedom to develop a whole Roman city from scratch and to wisely choose the way to defend it. The game allows players to experience a variety of options and creativity. Side scrolling defense games are one of my favorite types of games (next to Breakouts, Shmups and top down TD games). You can see a few videos of game play HERE , HERE , HERE

Does not give you a lot of information at the start, but after a bit of fumbling, you will enjoy a good “Tower Defense style” (their words) game.

The enemies come at you from all angles, but if you have a “good” starting map (it’s very easy to restart the game) you are off and running. You will soon work out that once the pot of gold is moved, the enemies will typically exit to the top of the map and you can lay your defences accordingly. The only tricky bit are enemies who then attack from the top of the map.

Fun game. Controls take a little bit to figure out, but great once you get the hang of it. The only good bug is a dead bug. 7/10

Rise to Ruins

Rise to Ruins

Well I’ve just about hit 450 hours, and so far I have to say I’m enjoying this. Overall its a decent little balance of Tower Defense, City Builder, and Survival Sim. Don’t be fooled by the basic bitpixel appearance, This is a relatively intuitive game with a lot of sprites, particle effects , and pathfinding(literally). The Dev has been pretty active on the forums and in discussion and seems genuinely invested in the success of his game, and in this day and age that alone speaks volumes.

SUMMARY

Rise to Ruins first experience:

Day 1: Wow there’s a lot of stuff I can build!

Day 2: There’s a lot of stuff I need to build!

Day 3: There’s a lot of stuff I wish I had built!

… Day 1 (Again): Okay.. There’s a lot of stuff I need to build!

Watch Tower

Watch Tower

“Casual arcade with clicker elements! Defend the Kingdom from invasion!”

Well, this 5€/$ game starts with too much enthusiasm maybe.. let’s see =P

Starting from the very first screens, it’s clear that this is a mobile phone game. Cheesy and colorful graphics, little to no text (no settings basically), few things to click or, well, to touch..

And just a few upgrades and boosts: double arrows, poison and freeze arrows; more soldiers, our wall stronger and little else.

The game offers no tutorial at all, even if it’s quite simple - you’ll play as some soldiers in a watch tower on the left side of the screen with the enemies coming in waves from the right side.

Opinion:

Another game I bought during the sales, and the first thing I want to make sure is that it’s not worth your money! I was hoping for this to be one of those old-school tower defense games, but it’s not.

This game has 30 levels, which all look the same.

It’s a very active game, where you need to spam your mouse buttons all the time. The defending of your tower/castle only happens by you, spamming those buttons. There are a couple of things you can upgrade, but they actually don’t help you that much. Unfortunatly this game lacks variation, which makes you want to quit it after probably 5-10 levels.
