Axon TD: Uprising - Tower Defense

Great TD / maze crafting game - only reason for thumbs down is how poorly optimized it is - loading the game itself appears to causes bugs + coop save bugs - unfortunately these issues have not improved over the time i've played otherwise i'd love to give it a thumbs up

I got this in a Humble Bundle for functionally $1.25 US and that is the only reason I am not returning it. It is pretty lame. The build the maze idea is ok, but it is done in such a tedious and pedantic way that it is unfun. Towers feel boring and quite indistinct. Visuals are bland and enemies also indistinct. The Meta progression is half-assed and tacked on with minor effect or serve to fix issues with the maze building nonsense. Honestly, watch someone on Youtube play this for an hour or so. If you REALLY want it after that, get it as cheap as you can find it. Do not pay more then 10 bucks for this if you absolutely must have it.

7.5/10 + workshop + hotkeys - 3 times is the fastest speed you can get - cant drop 2 of the same towers. need to re select every time - Cant undo!!! should be able to undo anything 1 thing you do pre-wave, as this could be abused mid wave. oops clicked the wrong space easy undo. not reset the full map 1st setup should have infinite undos as i find myself reseting maps at least once every level on the 1st wave to maximize my build strategy

TD, as it should be - a lot of towers, a lot of upgrades, a lot of different ways to complete the map. And there are a lot of maps, long campaign for many hours.

TD3 when?

ME LIKE THIS GAME!

Great tower defense game. Reminds me of Defense Grid, and hard is actually hard for a change!

Solid tower defense accommodating a variety of playstyles. I like the corporate intrigue storyline. Needs an undo button, or some kind of confirm placement toggle. A long press, a double press, a splash screen. . . something. . .

Solid tower defense with a ton of options from single player campaign, survival with leaderboards, PvP, CooP and custom map creation. The campaign alone is worth the price, and the game has plenty to offer after.

So here's my clearcut review while playing coop with a buddy. The game runs smoothly, there's a ton of content to be had here with a wide variety of towers. A great variety of missions and strategies to employ. Providing both a tech tree and your towers each with their own upgrades etc and bonuses really expand upon the gameplay and replay value. There's a wide variety of modes within the game too which is a nice touch, as most TD games only present you the campaign and maybe a survival mode but here there's both: - coop, singleplayer, Survival, PvP which definitely changes things up a bit. Now despite enjoying the game my friend and I have a few complaints. 1. Multiplayer/PvP: It's less about implementing your own unique synergies and finding a strategy that works well for you and more about employing the Meta as there are clearly some tech bonuses that're the go too and some which are to simply be ignored. 2. Solo/Coop: The developer got very lazy with unit variation; as there's an absurd amount of enemies here that merely heal or provide healing bonuses to their allies. It's expected in these games to encounter at least one medic but not several and this is turning the game into a drag dealing with nothing but medics and revival units. 3. UI/Scaling: There's unfortunately, no way to scale the interface so if you're playing on a wider monitor etc you're likely gonna see smaller text then what you would probably prefer. While this is feasible it's still annoying.
