Cataclismo

A pretty great tower-defence-city-builder-horde-fighter game. Provides adequate amount of playtime for the price, and is highly replayable, while also featuring a level designer. It's pretty hard to get the macro right though, and I feel like from the POV of RTS genre it's more of a heavily macro focused game, so you have to keep it in mind. The story is alright, but feels kind of short with several filler missions lacking any substantial gameplay, which is disappointing, but other than that it's pretty solid. Additional info after a replay Actually, on a replay I found the wall building -- a core selling point of the game and a core mechanic -- a lot more tedious and annoying, compared to the other horde-defence-RTS games. And while at first it's quite interesting, it wears its welcome thin I feel on consecutive playthroughs. The fact that walls only get better with the growth of their height is a bit limiting. For this reason some ways of building walls are more beneficial than the others. For example, putting vertical 3 x 1 blocks at the bottom of the wall is almost necessary on higher difficulties, since they have the most amount of health and occupy just one tile, minimizing the amount of cells that lose support in case of its destruction. In fact I feel like this is a problem that a lot of games like this have, where wall layering and not using entrances like gates is a more advantageous strategy than building the walls the way they were kind of intended to be built and simply having fun. Instead you find yourself just piling stone blocks on top of each other as quickly as possible and trying to build an equally high and expensive wooden staircases to house your troops and mods for them. Paradoxically, this core mechanic sours the game for me now, where instead of playing the game I spend hours in pause trying to figure out how to build the highest possible wall with limited resources, and this is not that much fun. I still would recommend this game if this sounds right up your alley, but be aware of these shortcomings on top of a very short and narratively not that exciting campaign.

O jogo tem pontos positivos e negativos. Gostei do sistema de construções, mas logo ele perde a graça e o jogador vai acabar fazendo sempre as construções básicas que dão resultado. Por outro lado, a economia do jogo me incomoda bastante. Sempre falta madeira, mesmo trocando oxigênio por madeira nunca é suficiente. A mecânica de chuva, que exige a construção de telhados, não tem graça nenhuma, é só pra incomodar o jogador. É um bom jogo pra quem gosta de construção de bases e defesa contra hordas de inimigos, vale a pena pegar em promoção.

Я поиграл на данный момент 54 минуты и даже за такое короткое время я понял насколько это игра приятно хорошо продумана, незамудренная экономика и защита поселения. Очень хорошо. Если тебе нравится такие жанры то это хороший выбор с гибкой растоновкой обороны

Cataclismo is a very athmospheric horde fighter/city builder game and one of the most unique and interesting RTS games I've ever played. Interestingly enough, the builder aspect gives you nearly compelte control over how you build your city and their defenses, similar to building blocks or legos, you could stack houses on top of houses, and it is encouraged to build walls higher so that they're harder to take down. Different units fare better in different scenarios (AoE, CC, single target...) and you can customize your units both with the defenses (Some buildings change their attack types), with ingame upgrades or in the skill tree. Furthermore, you create blueprints of the structures, so you have fast access to your favourite user-made buildings, such as resource gathering outlets, fire towers, different types of walls or traps. You can also share them with your friends and download their blueprints. Don't be fooled, this game is more than meets the eye and I cannot recommend it enough.

I wanna know who farted so bad nobody can breathe anymore.

Можно построить замок как в майнкрафте и проеврить её на прочность - класс!

ストーリーやアート、世界観の完成度が高いRTS+TD RTSの部分が比重高いのでTDを期待しすぎると煩雑なユニット操作や基地建設、リソース管理でうへえってなっちゃうらしい そのへんが大丈夫な自分には基地建設とリソース管理の自由度が高く、探索の楽しみもあって楽しい 防壁建築は強度の問題でパズルのようになっていてやや煩わしいが、その分うまく組めた時の喜びは大きい 酸素タワーを作るのが階段の仕様のせいでだいぶめんどくさい。でも、コンパクトなやつを一度作ってしまえば設計図化してコピペできるので楽 建物の上に建物が建築できる仕様も相まって、正直に言うとハシゴを実装してほしいと感じてしまったが、そうすると建築が淡白になりすぎるのかもしれない 自分は一次停止活用しまくるスタイルのまったりヌルゲーな遊び方なので、そのへん縛ってるガチRTSプレイヤーだとまた違った感想になるかもしれない

防壁を建築してユニットを配置し、押し寄せる大量の敵を倒していくゲーム。 街作り要素もあるが、「食べ物を充実させたりして住民の幸福度を高めて～」という要素はなく、物資収集や練兵のために建物を配置したり住民を増やしていく。 最大の特徴は防壁の建設で、石を積み重ねて立体的な建設を行い、ユニットの配置場所を工夫することができる。 効率よく物資を集め、カチカチの防壁を作ってユニットを配置し、モンスターをボコボコにするのは気持ちがいい。 一時停止ができ、解体も容易なので、防壁の建設はゆったり行うことができる。 欠点は、建設の操作感が良くなく、入り組んだ建築は行いづらい点。 壁や床をいい感じに貫通した視点に出来ず、要塞の中にユニットを配置したり、バフ設備を置いたりしづらいし、入り組んだ階段構造も作りづらい 3階建ての屋根付きのかっこいい砦を作ってみたいものの、結局面倒くさくなって壁と最低限の床や階段だけになりがち。

Such a great game. This game is not for everyone, but if you like tower defense games, starcraft or love managing resources this is definitely for you. It takes a bit for me to realise exactly how to properly build, but once I did... Oh boy is this game amazing.
