[h1]買ってはいけないTD[/h1] 個人的にゲームのレビューをする際は、ゲームのクリアもしくは最低でも10時間以上プレイしてゲーム性等を理解してから投稿している。しかし本作は今後起動しない可能性も高い為、敢えて短時間の印象だがレビューをしたい。 一言で総評をすると買ってはいけないTD。以下にNGポイントを列挙したい。 [h1]・マルチメインだが過疎過ぎてマッチングしない[/h1] リリースが2014年11月4日、プレイ/レビュー時が10日。リリース後1週間以内に関わらず。30分以上サーチし続けてもマッチせず。SteamChartsによると現在プレイ中0、今日の最大4、これまでの最大14。データから見るとマッチングしないのは当たり前と言えば当たり前だが、マルチメインのTDでこれでは意味がない。 [h1]・理不尽で極悪な難易度[/h1] 初めてシングルプレイをしてみた結果… 到達Wave16/40 建てたタワー 100程度 タワーアップグレード 50回以上 倒した敵 100以上 経過した時間 10分程度 TDをある程度プレイする人なら分かるかもしれないが10分(600秒)程度でこれである。600秒の間にタワーを建てまくり、アップグレードをしまくっても半分のWaveすら到達できずにゲームオーバーになる鬼畜仕様。しかもこれが、ステージ1であり難易度はEasyとなっている。TDを沢山プレイしてきたが、序盤からここまで忙しない操作が要求されるのも、ステージ1でゲームオーバーになったのも初めて。実際早い敵は早送りしているような速度で侵攻してくるし、序盤から飛行敵もドンドン出てくる。初見かつタワーの機能も理解していないとは言え、理不尽過ぎる難易度。ちなみにレビュー投稿時のマップ数はつ6のみ。フォーラムでは7とあるが、7はチュートリアルも含んだ水増し数字。 [h1]・価格[/h1] あのDG2でさえ$25の定価が不興を買い、実際に厳しい評価を受けている中で無名デベロッパーのTDの新作が$20とかなり強気。マルチメインのゲーム性でいくならば、プレイ人数確保といった観点からも少し安めの価格設定をすべきではなかっただろうか。 追記:2014年11月現在、既に90%オフクーポンの存在を確認。リリース直後に購入した自分は残念だが、もし購入を検討している人は探すと良いかも知れない。 [h1]・ユーザビリティが皆無[/h1] タワーの説明がインゲーム中でしか確認できない。説明を読んでいる間もゲームを止められず敵がガンガン侵攻してくる。敵の特性についても説明がない。UIや操作についても説明がない。チュートリアルがチュートリアルとして機能していない。 [h1]・怪しい開発の姿勢[/h1] リリース初期にはシングルプレイが実装されていなかったが反発を受け実装(現在6マップ、追加マップも実装予定)。ストアページの推奨スペックに冗談を記載。有名どころ、無名どころ関わらずフォーラムでファンの声にキッチリ対応していたり、適切な改良を行おうという意思のある開発は非常に好感が持てるが、この開発には好印象は無い。 [h1]・怪しいストアレビュー[/h1] これまでの最大プレイ人数が14だがレビュー数は12。そもそも最大プレイ人数14に対してリリース後1週間でレビュー12は多過ぎではないだろうか?また、8/12が「いいね」であるが内訳をみると開発者バッジ持ちが2名、ユーザープロフィール未作成が2名。加えてアルファテスター1名、1時間以内のプレイ者が1名。更に無名ゲームに関わらず「よくない」評価をしているレビュアーには怒涛の参考にならない票が集中。

Pretty fun game! It is very fast paced and can be a little complicated but I like that this game does something different. I am used to TD games where I can build my turrets, upgrade them, and watch them kill my enemies. I've noticed in this game I have to constantly pay attention to what I am fighting and change my play style constantly otherwise I will die very quickly. If you like challenging strategic games I would definitely recommend checking this out!
Way to fast paced and not enough explanation as to whats going on. No pause button, tips or strategy recommendations. Really just feels like peeing in the dark. looked very promising but the reality was not as awesome as the dream. It really just feels as though the monsters become extremely overpowered for no reason and there is no means to decide what will kill them. It's really hard to explain what this game is missing, I cant quite word it. Just doesnt feel like its consistent. Could be promising but it would need a major overhaul.
I love this game. Its faster than the other tower defenses out there which is a nice change.
A tower defense game that does it a little different in the way you unlock and build towers, worth a look however it is currently PvP focused which could be a little off putting but there is more single player options in the works as of typing this so could be one to keep watch on.
2 hours of gameplay and let me just say this game is AMAZING. My internet youth was spent playing maps like Turret Defense in Starcraft & Wintermaul/Wintermaul Wars/Line Tower Wars in Warcraft 3. I am so sick of the flash and mobile TD's of today. This game brings back the idea of hooking and hopefully will expand to bigger maps and allow spiraling. On top of that there is so much freedom in the current state of the game where it allows YOU to manage the creeps, not the other way around like most TD's of today. They have even added much needed improvement to the genre with features like pinging and a seperate flight/ground path system. There are so many improvements and I am just so happy with the purchase. The community seems to be very friendly and helpful, I totally recommend this for anyone that has loved the original style of TD and if you have never experienced what it was like to play those maps... I am sorry... come, join us!
Da gibts nur etwas dazu zu sagen: Nicht kaufen!! Absolute Geldverschwendung! Selten so ein schlechtes Towerdefense gesehen: -Trotz Steamaccount muss man sich mit einem Spielinternen Account einloggen... - Braucht absolut zuviel performance... Es lagt sogar auf schlechtester Grafik Einstellung, und meine Kiste ist weissgott nicht die langsamste... -Auf leicht nach Welle 17 Hat man schon keinen Durchblick mehr, was man genau machen muss... Es läuft zu schnell und ohne Überblickbares Gameplay -Dauerhaft eingeblendetes Chatfenster (ja, man kann es nicht entfernen) -Extrem langweilig zu spielen, da die Türme alle relativ gleich aussehen und nix bringen -Extrem langweilige Enemies (auch die sehen alle gleich aus) -Undurchsichtiges Updatesystem... So irgend einmal so kriegt man nebenbei mal die Info: "He Spieler, du kannst jetzt einer deiner Türme mit einem Update updaten"... was auch nicht viel mehr bringt... Ich verstehe echt nicht, wies dieses Spiel so gute Bewertungen kassiert hat. Kann hier leider keinen einzigen Pro Punkt geben Leute, wenn ihr wirklich ein super gelungenes Tower Defense spiel zocken wollt, zieht euch Sanctum 2 rein!
The first impressions from looking at the store page is already a negative one. The "About This Game" section is poorly written and attempts to be comical. The horrendous video and screenshots aren't lying. Defenders of Time really does look bad, play badly, and even performs badly. It's out of date, it doesn't innovate and it most certainly is one of the worst tower defense games I've ever played. Aesthetically, Defenders of Time looks like the results of a project from an early graphic design college class even at maximum settings. The game completely lacks polish and presentation. There is no story, no lore and no interesting factions or units. There is nothing that grabs a hold of your attention in any way. There is nothing to play for or to experience. From when you boot the game to the glorious moment when you click the "exit game" button, you will feel as though you could've spent your time doing something else. Anything else. This game adds nothing new to the tower defense genre. There is nothing to enjoy. In addition to it being uneventful, uninspired, dull, boring and mind numbing, there is no single player campaign to speak of. This game was designed for multi-player alone and no one plays this game. What we have here is a game that was made in hopes to have a massive online multi-player community, and it doesn't. It never will. Even if it became free to play, there is nothing attractive about this game to bring in players. The single player portion of the game is just picking a map from a total of six and waiting for the mindless enemy units to make their rounds. There is nothing else. Also, even though the game runs smoothly at 60 frames per second, it will constantly take up between 20% and 30% of CPU power at all times. If all of this isn't bad enough, you are also required to create a separate account in order to play the game. Having a price tag of $20 is ridiculous. The developers couldn't have expected this to be a success, could they? Defenders of Time is painful.
