Defend the Cake
Really strong and fun early access tower defense game.
-
Has good progression of different types of enemies with different abilities (fast, armored, flying, burrowing, building jumping, etc)
-
Interesting mechanic where the bugs get to the cake and then go back along a ground path (which would only be different if they are flying/jumping.)
-
Fun different building types that balance different tradition TD buildings with some fun modifications (fast, slow, aoe, high damage single target).
-
Interesting boss enemies with different mechanics.

My favorite aspect is the unique mechanic of limited actions. In between rounds, you only have four (later six) eggbirds to build, upgrade, or gain extra resources. While you can undo immediate actions, you cannot sell or move towers later.
During a round, your only action is to temporarily power up towers, then wait a few seconds for the recharge. This might sound limited, but especially in later levels, it keeps you busy with quickly deciding when and on which tower to use your power best.
The maps are very open, giving you many different options to figure out the best set up by replaying a level.

Ninety Days
Absolute trash. Once you get to the 4th level of your tower, the game is over, but it isn’t. You do the same thing for another 70 days to “beat it”. Oh, and you constantly have to repurchase things because they just expire for no reason.
Trash game. Sad that Steam isn’t policing its platform better. This was akin to someone’s school project getting published. Worse yet, it probably didn’t fool their professor and got them a D- in game design.

Witch and Hero(魔女と勇者)
This is just a simple fun casual game that is great for downtime when you want to have fun and build towards something such as HP, MP and EXP. It simple style of play makes it great for when you want to play a game but are not able to invest long periods of time… Of course the problem I have is once I start playing this I can’t stop. Highly addictive - great game!

I remember playing this game on the 3DS, i could never get past the final stage. I still had loads of fun playing it though, and the soundtrack is just amazing, I’d highly recomend this game to people who like having a challenge, especially with the advanced mode that you unlock after beating normal mode.

Necronator: Dead Wrong
With almost 15 hours under my belt, here’s my thoughts.
The game is setup in an RTS meets deck-builder. This gives the game a different feel than your straight up deck builders (like Slay the Spire or Banners of Ruin). Since the battle is semi-automated, you just have to manage your resources. But don’t call it easy, because there is a great challenge sometimes in keeping up with the various levels; especially with the “survive for xxx seconds” maps.
You get commanders with different playstyles. One is a straight-up combat deck and the other is a toy-box style deck with few normal units. You can also unlock alternate decks for the commanders for even more variation at the start. The upgrade paths for the cards can be a bit random, so the rogue-like element is there and can either flummox you or really help you.

Mostly fun game, has some fairly obnoxious/punishing game mechanics.
For starters, there are a decent number of relics (items that effect everything, usually based on some criteria) that give you some strong boosts if you have fielded less than 6 units. Then half the game is spent playing against enemies who get to make a card in your hand useless every few seconds if you have less than 10 (will be lowing to 6 according to the roadmap) units on the field. Do you want to try and field a small but strong elite army if the relics line up right? Good luck when you have to wait for mana to regen and by that point there is a solid chance that your card gets ‘silenced’. Silenced isnt just some minor condition that can be fixed, its a card in your hand that now CANT DO ANYTHING. The only way to get rid of it is to redraw your hand, which can cost from free (if you wait long enough and are playing the toy maker) to 40 mana (of which you only get 100 from the base hero).

Super Swarm Smash
An interesting Tower Defense game - brings a few new ideas to the TD genre.
The interaction between the towers needs to be thought through, but this process is assisted by the gradual introduction of the new new tower types.
Not an easy game and it will make you think - It might be an idea to start on the Easy (Clodhopper) level to ease your way in and to become comfortable with the concepts. Can get fairly hectic as you progress.
I’m having fun!!

Play it together!
Explosion Girl learns to be good!
Build towers of the necessary height, protect them from enemies and hold out for some time!
But only the protection of the towers is not limited to everything. Do bonus tasks, such as building bridges for roundies, or escort robots to the designated goal!

What the heck…no mouse support in 2021?
I felt like I had stepped back in time to 1989, before every PC had a mouse. But instead, I just stepped into this dev’s awful game that you have to use a controller or the keyboard to play. Absolute garbage.

Gameplay / Story
Insects where the world is moving? Exactly, you read that right because that is the content of this game. The invasion begins from the planet Zardoz. This planet is ruled by the alien race and is under the command of train rapoids. One day she came down from heaven, who likes her, disgusting, nasty insects. But it’s not just insects, because they can mind control over all insect rights, in order to wage them and against us, to gradually deposit the planet. The first battle takes place in our house. You have to feel yourself room by room against all kinds of crawlers and flying enemies. As in every classic TD, waves wave weirs and the level consistently gold-plated with 3 stars. You collect technology points that are used in your towers to be gold-plated, to enjoy new special attacks or other bonuses. This means fight and make sure they haven’t even thought about hearing the phase phase over. Destroy the problem before it becomes a problem!

COVID Kawaii!
Fun tower defense game. Easy enough to be accessible to players not used to the genre but also has higher difficulties and leaderboards for those super competitive types and those that like to come up with different strategies to make their way to the top. Not only is the game is cute as heck, but with some of the proceeds being donated to a good cause, it was an instant buy from me. Would definitely recommend, looking forward to future updates.

Covid Kawaii is quite a worth it game. It has outstanding and cutesy visuals which i love. It has amazing gameplay that will suit everybody’s needs and it’s such an awesome game representing the famous covid. It’s also not like other games which gives it, it’s unique capabilities. Cannot wait for the game to grow and expand as the upcoming years have been hard. Well enjoy the game and buy it if haven’t already. It’s worth your monies.

Go Home Dinosaurs!
Good casual tower defense game. Not too difficult and perfect for kids or casual adult gamers. The graphics are fun, the sound and music are fun, and the progression is good as you move through the 60 levels. Progression allows you to add more objects on the field. Some of these objects are different devices that shoot in different ways. Some freeze them, some use lasers to hit multiple targets, and more. Other objects are one time use objects such as a bomb, or an invite to 3 other friends to give you 4 shooters. Your main character is also a shooter at all times. While you can build different towers, you also get to use your character to attack the dinosaurs. Your character adds as a hero in a sense where entire battles can be won just using your character and not build a single tower. The dinosaurs vary and are quite different. Some dinosaurs fly, some run, some go really slow. Some are easy to kill while others take a lot of hits to go down.

I like tower defense games so I picked this up. It’s a little different from other TD games because the traps use blocks in different shapes so you can’t place one anywhere. There is only one end point. It means you can just focus on one point. Rest assured this is NOT easy at all especially if you have not unlocked the more powerful traps and power ups. And also, you get a cute little guy running around assisting in attacks and picking up coconuts for traps.
The small size of each map also adds to the challenge because you can’t spam traps and you have to be careful about placement. You CANNOT delete traps you’ve placed. Before each mission starts the game makes you pick a few traps or power ups using up to 9 slots. You can only use each trap or power up once so you can only have up to 9 traps in the game. If you want power ups, the traps will be even lesser.
