Arrow Spire: Tower Defense

Take a look at the screenshots / video. Do you think you can predict what the entire game will be about? Because that's pretty much what it is. If that's a bit obscure, then this is just an Idle game that plays similarly to "The Perfect Tower". I 100%'d it in 2 hours. There's not much to it - if you want something that's one step above "doing nothing", this is the game for you.

Beat in 4 hours. And trust me there was a lot of afk time in there. But I still say buy it. Its $3. A dollar an hour seems ok to me lol. Just buy it.

Not worth it

Took me 11 hours to beat the game, but that was over three devices and no steam-sync. So to naturally beat the game it probably takes less time. I love the game, it reminds me of the browser based flash games from 20 years ago. You are a tower and must act like one.

Ow wauw, there is an idle mode which I LOVE, but I actually only went to the main screen 3 times, let it run and beat the game. You can beat the game in 3 hours, no way for infinite waves I think. It's not worth your money for 3 hours of gameplay for an "idle game"

I managed to hit 100% achievements in 2.4 hours, and while I’m not necessarily complaining about the short completion time, those were not a fun two hours. This game is just incredibly boring and I didn't enjoy it at all. The core issue is how repetitive it feels right from the start. To make matters worse, the missions feel completely pointless; they don't seem to contribute anything meaningful to your actual progression. It just feels like you're going through the motions without any real payoff or engagement. I definitely wouldn't recommend this one.

Ja ist ok Ist nichts Besonderes Aber für zwischendurch okay

I beat the game in about 5 hours. I enjoyed it a lot!

Replaying is addictive and justifies the affordable price. Every run pulls you back in. The fact that you can’t finish the game without buying items is a small drawback, but it doesn’t stop the fun.

I'm unfortunately unable to leave a positive review, despite the low $3 cost. This game gives the vibes of a partially completed tutorial game, or an early stage unfinished prototype, not a complete cohesive game experience. Pros: [list] [*]Game speed goes up to 10x [*]Not too long or time-gated [*]No intrusive micro-transaction system or pay-to-win features [*]Neat idea mixing Tower Defense with Rogue-lite upgrades [/list] Cons: [list] [*]Even though the 3 hot keys make sense because they are the first letter of the words they represent, they are not convenient to ever use as each upgrade must still be hand clicked/held when not permanently upgraded from the main menu. The game is almost entirely mouse dependant, which is slow and tediious. [*]Auto-clickers are disabled in place of a slow, built-in "hold down to keep upgrading" function. [*]There is no "Buy All" button for upgrades [*]The "Idle" toggle does not appear to do anything besides auto-restarting on death. It doesn't even use items or auto-purchase temporary upgrades which is a missed opportunity to add a new upgrade field for "faster auto-purchase" if auto-purchasing temporary upgrades was implimented. [*]However neat it is to have the gameplay slow down the closer the cursor gets to upgrades UI, it ended up being more tedious and left me longing for a normal "enable/disable" toggle to keep it max speed at all times. [*]There's only 1 short map with no relevant enemy variety, as the items and consumables are irrelevant. [*]There's no strategy involved. Just auto-play, buy more upgrades, repeat. [*]Multiple systems feel like they have no purpose at all. In fact, the upgrade menus and "Piercing Arrow" are the only purchases that felt impactful. The bombs, consumables, and other 2 arrows types had no impact on reaching or beating the final wave. [*]With about 5 hours to unlock all achievements and 100% upgrades, you can only reach around wave 85 via auto-play. Around 1,500+ Piercing Arrows being enabled on wave 85 will push through and beat all 100 waves. No other arrows or consumables reached the end, even with full upgrades unlocked. I never once even bothered changing "target selection". [*]The 4 missions were too simple and felt like they didn't belong at all without being more flushed out and diverse. Once these 4 are accomplished, you get no more missions, as if some incomplete "daily" feature. [/list]
