Crystal Guardians TD

畫面不錯，但平衡好像還不是很好

Great game with great optimalisation. I ran it on potato of a laptop (7 years old) and it performed really well when the most games aren’t running on it in 1080p 60Hz and it was running on highest settings. Visuals are really good and looks like something that shouldn’t be possible to run so smoothly on it. But to be honest it started dropping fps after wave 40 at max speed, but that is really intensive and there is total mayhem when it’s happening. Gameplay is engaging and there is good progression. But runs can be a bit long - 60 waves with dual lanes took me a bit under 2,5 hours. I encountered a few bugs (tower stats persisting after taking items off or getting effect from nowhere) but they aren’t game breaking and it’s still fresh early access. It feels like it the successor of Rouge Tower (RIP) with amazing new mechanics (gems and towers, items, skills, item recipes). I greatly recommend this game to fans of Rouge Tower and tower defense enthusiasts.

It's like Rogue Tower but with improvements

They're using low bitrate free audio samples. I couldn't be bothered to play any more after the tutorial.

Chill td game. Only thing I would mention is there isn't a crazy large amount of content, but for the price it is a no brainer. Plus there is a major update on the way as of early 2026.

If you liked RogueTowers you will like this Game too

If you are like me and love both Tower Defense and Roguelikes this is a must get. They combine the features of both genre perfectly. None of the elements are to deep yet intertwine well so you see progress each run. As a TD alone it is a fun game. Add in the roguelike elements and the fun doubles.

It's a nice looking tower defense, but the difficulty spike at certain waves requires that you grind out the progression unlocks to stand a chance. There are some missing assets for some of the items and balance seems all over the place as far as how many 'rolls' you will receive for items on any given map. Maybe worth it on sale, but it needs some more time in the oven to justify full price. It also appears the developer has gone radio silent so take that for what you will.

update: steam listed this game as "abandoned" due to no updates for 12 months and the dev decided to push the unity security patch (and nothing else) so the tag isnt visible anymore fyi, very much abandoned as far as steam is concerned a review: the game is great fun, really simple yet complex, not too hard not too easy and with modding in the future it will be outstanding

updates have slowed, but darn - this is one solid gemplay loop and fun game. Recommended as-is :)
