Deep Among the Swarm

A lot of bad ideas, and even the good ones are implemented poorly. Just to name a few of the bigger issues: [list] [*]A single objective type (collecting fuel and then refueling the drill) for every normal level, and the 3 boss levels play out the same in practice. [*]Only two map types, one is too easy and the other is too hard (to the point the game stops it from being picked for the boss levels), both terribly repetitive in spite of the procedural generation. [*]The only strategy on the offense is to attack move with enough DPS, and the only strategy on the defense is to AFK after building a defensive wall with enough DPS and healing turrets behind it. [*]The refuelling phase at the end of each level is usually 5+ minutes of AFK, unless you couldn't build strong enough defense then it's a game over: there is no inbetween. [*]Little content: for example, infantry has two types of armor (light or heavy) and five types of weapon (rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, rocket launcher, medic gun). [*]Some of the content isn't well integrated: for example, the lightning tower building cannot use most items for defensive towers, does not benefit from most tower bonuses, and has a handful of dedicated bonuses that can't keep up with the ones the other towers get. [*]The roguelite progression between RTS levels is 90% gambling with parts: there is no guarantee of progress, an absurd gap between an item with bad rolls and one with good rolls, and no stat reference to know what the baseline is. [*]The remaining 10% of roguelite progression includes the max fuel and fuel efficiency upgrades, that will put you in an unwinnable situation if you upgrade them too soon and will put you in an unwinnable situation if you upgrade them too late. [*]The metaprogression systems are tremendously grindy. [*]The biome system is blatant padding, requiring you to gamble again to replace all your equipment with the next tier, re-farm blueprints for the same items only of the next tier, and start every run without access to a lot of items types. [*]Burrowers are somehow still the worst idea in the whole game. [/list] Just don't bother.

A rather fun game, involving running about to explore and attack. I wish it was a bit more player friendly, since I do not have the mental capacity to build up the base, and send two explorer teams out to map out the caverns at the same time. I also wish there were some more options, specifically for the infantry, as it appears to boil down to rifles or shotguns, at least in my experience so far.

there isnt a very good tutorial. game is greta but once you get to about the 3rd level without proper instructions how to upgrade your army you cant do much

Seems like a damn fun tower defense/cave spelunker vs. the Hive-Horde kind of game. Simple but smooth real-time graphical look, Pauseable action so you can plot structures. You have to network out to build upon terrain... the more time you take to explorminate, the tougher the Drill activation phase will be (takes time to power up your Drill to get down to the next level). An inherent loot-everything vs. make-Drilling-too-tough-to-survive balance challenge. Fun, much long-term upgrading, though the explanantion of that upgrading interface could be friendlier... . Worthy.

ey yo this ♥♥♥♥ SLAPS. Gets me nervous, catches my complacency, measures my confidence. THIS. ♥♥♥♥. SLAPSSSSS.

Really, really fun game - - simple and very engaging; it has undoubtedly improved since early access. Though, it seems the spawn rates are way down. The swarms/spawns could be larger and more frequent (though I have not yet unlocked the hardest difficulty). I wish there were hero units that you can level/etc. and take from mission to mission - - maybe like a mech or android - - to keep with the theme. This, I think, would fit nicely with the game mechanics.

I didn't have my main pc available and survived the boredom with this game. The game itself is very simple, every time you start playing you have resources accumulated from previous runs and you can use them to upgrade the current run. Once done you start the run which consists of a whole series of missions that increase in difficulty. There are a few “bosses” going on, nothing too complicated. Between missions in the run, you have the opportunity to unlock technologies, weapons, armor and support items. Trying to understand how it all works is essential to succeeding at the lower levels. The pace of the game is quite fast, losing time means finding stronger enemies toward the end of the run, so while you may not be going at lightning speed, you still have to be a minimum of efficient.

[h1]不推荐购买[/h1] [h3]几分钟结束的轮回塔防刷刷刷游戏[/h3] 没中文只是次要原因，进入游戏后升级项目过多，刷刷刷要素过重，令玩家过于压抑了。 操作繁琐程度超越现在的很多塔防游戏，必须从核心处才可以建造，而不是有一个全局的建造面板，导致需要大量进行鼠标和键盘的微观管理，也没有提供简单的复制功能，单位默认移动也不是发现敌人后攻击这导致要进行很多额外的操作，非常烦人。 最关键的一点是收集到资源通关后所有的建造都会损失掉，然后进入差不多的下一层继续同样绝望的刷刷刷。

Criminally underrated. Scratches that very specific niche of roguelike, rts, and tower defense. Not many games do that.

Addictive game that makes me come back for another run periodicaly. Lot´s of different builds to go with on towers and soldiers every run. Gets regular updates and keeps getting better. Recomended!
