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.
-

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.

OTTTD
From my Hooked Gamers review
Tower Defence games are fairly popular. Games like Plants vs. Zombies have bought Tower Defence games into the mainstream. They are normally simple to play, easy to understand and can be played in short bursts. I do like tower defence games, but mostly as a mobile gaming fix. They are perfect games to play during my daily commutes. When the PC version of OTTTD (also known as Over the Top Tower Defence) turned up at our office, I was somewhat intrigued as to what made it ‘over the top’.

MarZ: Tactical Base Defense
As first impressions go, MarZ: Tactical Base Defense starts off strong.
The starting menu is simple, clean, and the options are mostly straightforward. Personally I wish there was a hover tool to give a basic explanation of what each option does and how it affects the game, but, again, that is a personal preference I like to see.
The starting campaign cinematic gives the rundown on what is happening and your goals. As of writing this review I have completed about half the campaign and the more I play the less it makes sense. It does have zombies in space so I may have to lower my expectations since there may be not much effort put into making a cohesive story. Or maybe it will culminate some kind of explanation towards the end, and will likely revise part of the review then if that is the case.

Free Demo Download isn’t a complete sample and not completely representative of the game. After purchasing and starting the 4th mission, tactics, swarms, and weapon upgrades were far more difficult. Attempted to return the game, but the time played in the free demo counted against the 2 hour time limit. I don’t think free play demo time should of counted as play time after purchase. If the demo was more representative of the full game, I’d almost understand. The 2 hours is after purchase, but the timer started before I bought it. I do realize that game play should increase with level and mission advancement, but the level of increase and how much everything changed was drastic and I had the impression I was duped into buying it.

Oh My Gore!
Great Concept, Shoddy Execution
First, one thing I want to make clear. This game doesn’t take 72 hours to beat, I simply left it on for long periods of time. Second, this is a negative review, so why did I even bother finishing the game? Because I have a compulsion to finish games once I start them unless they are literally unplayable. Don’t be like me.
Now, onto the game. This is a hybrid where you build towers and send monsters out of your barracks to attack. The only control you have over the monsters is which direction/path they take when encountering intersections, I really like the idea for the game, but the developers did a poor job of implementing it.

An unusual TD game.
I didn’t want to buy this game for a long time. And I bought it last week. I can’t say I was excited, but I found some cool features there.

First of all, I liked the setting of being a bad guy. Skeletons, Orcs, Mummies, Harpies and etc.
You are bad guy who fights with good guys. There is a lot of humor and sarcasm in the story. Yeah, there is a story.
What about gameplay. Most of the missions are Attack&Defense. And it’s fresh. You have one road where enemies attack you and you need to build towers. There is another, you attack. So, there are 2 resources, food for sending units and gold for building towers. There are also Pure TD missions, enemies come from all sides and you just defend.

Alien Shooter TD
Rating: good (7/10)
Introduction
Alien Shooter TD is a Tower Defence game based on the alien shooter action game. By building “towers” on pre-defined spots you defend the base by not letting aliens enter certain points.
Gameplay & Story: 6/10
The gameplay is somewhat restricted by giving you only certain points where you can build on, but you still have choices of different “towers”. These are a bit unusual for a tower defence game - you are basically setting up teams of marines, which as towers in other TD games shoot monster on approaching, but also need ammo and use different weapons. As an example - you have tactical squads that can either slow enemies down by freezing them or burn them over time with a flame thrower. When progressing further into the game, these marines do get multiple new weapons which gives you more possibilities for tactics - build tons of cheap marines or some few more expensive but better ones. The story is almost non-present here, just the usual stuff - defending the world against an alien invasion.

I felt compelled to “100%” the game as much as possible (except for that last achievement), but I was really unsatisfied when playing the game. Towards the end of the game I would basically have it on in the background whilst doing something else.
Whilst it’s not an awful TD game, there are much more satisfying ones out there that you should play first, hence the thumbs-down.
Pros:
-
You shoot lots of aliens, like in Alien Shooter 1 and 2.
-
I quite like the constant-upkeep-reloading mechanic.

Brink of Extinction
Brink of Extinction is a small but rich tower defense set in a post apocalyptic future. If you enjoy tower defenses then I would give this a try, especially if you enjoy strategy and planning ahead.
The game certainly leads on the difficult side. You start of with a large pool of credits, and get a couple of bucks for each enemy you kill, more money the stronger they are. This results in your initial placement and planning being crucial; not to say you can’t change things up mid game, but it can be quite hard to recover from a really bad plan at the beginning. Make no mistake, this game is hard, and you will need to play some levels multiple times to see which strategies do and don’t work. If you don’t enjoy repeating a level and getting better at it each time till you win, you might not like this, however I found that to be part of its appeal. It forces you to really think about what you’re doing.

Warcraft III was my first exposure to tower defense games, and I became a fan of the genre many years ago. The great thing about Steam, is there are just so many options. There are many enjoyable tower defense games on Steam, some can be quite deep with mechanics and level layouts. Brink of Extinction is not one of these though.
First of all the game runs fine, I completed it and even tried out one of the endless maps for the score achievement. This game is just not very enjoyable, combined with some bad level design and fun ends up being at the Brink of Extinction. Most levels consist of a few predesignated building areas in a claustrophobic environment with the same few car assets peppered throughout. You have a choice of towers and some power ups you can use. It seems best to just spend all your funds on one or two towers to upgrade the stats as you wont do enough damage if you build on all of the limited spacing you do have. The power ups in my opinion are just too overpriced in the campaign to be viable, but they are useful in endless mode once funding is not an issue. So you place your towers and giant insects and Arachnids begin to spawn. Now you play the can my towers tank and kill these before they wreck what I’m suppose to protect game. Eventually you figure out that there are really only two viable towers which adds even less choices for your limited area.

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.

First Day: Home Defender
AT A GLANCE:
3/5 Stars - Because I bought this game under a dollar I gave it an extra star. It is not a bad game to have in your collection, but there is just a few things that hinder this game from being a great game. If you can live with them then check this game out.
GAME GENRE:
Single Player, Tower Defense, Gore, Violent, Action, Shooter
GAME DESCRIPTION:
Release Date: Feb. 2020 - Tower defense game. Build and protect your home for as many days as you can. Upgrade defenses, weapons, and hire workers, and mercenaries.

Pretty good game for what it is, could be a $5.00 game. After the 36 day hump, if you survive, it gets easier from there. Just save up for the flamethrower and all will be well.

Firebase Defence
First off, don’t listen to the people with the aiming issues, they simply don’t know how to play the game and lick heavily in gaming skills.
Great little game and if you watch the trailer you know what to expect. Price is right.
Blood gore from battles is great.
Menu music is dominating.
Sound of goats alone makes the game that much better.
Take it from someone who has actually played the game for longer than it takes to get a refund…Recommended.
Don’t forget to check my guide, it will increase the hours.

Missions were pretty easy, but fun, and when turning on hard mode it became more challenging. Nice defense game, and all units have their uses and are unique, and that goes for both the enemy and yourself. Strategy comes from where you put your fire superiority, as well as your defenses. Shooting is RNG ridden, meaning your men or the enemy will miss sometimes, which makes for interesting gameplay.
Survival mode gave a pretty good challenge, and I’ve only beaten round 25 so far. Because of RNG, you can get screwed in the later levels of the survival mode when they concentrate all their vehicles on one side of your base. Regardless, it’s a fun mode to play with a video in the background. Similar to the missions, strategy comes from unit placement and where a majority of your units are facing, but as the levels progresses, it gets hard to concentrate your fire power, so you have to think of other ways of overcoming this.

The Culling Of The Cows
The game itself is not bad (which is why I want steam to put review that are neutral) and can be quite fun for some people who are into these kind of games, and unlike some other pieces of shit that they’re on steam this one is very functional and can have some charm in the jokes.
However, I choose to put a not recommended mainly because of the price and what it offers. Since it’s way to expensive IMO and it’s better to get it on a sale.
Gameplay
It plays as your average defence flash game where you defend your barn from zombie cows, and you can upgrade your bullets or gun. The game just gets a little difficult if you’re trying to get the achievements (which serve no purpose at all since you don’t get better stuff from them), but ignoring them the game is very easy.
