Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 4 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
In the year EC3040, humanity is no longer confined to Earth and has begun to colonize the stars, exploring new habitable planets. During the journey to the KOI 7711.01 planet, the colony ship unexpectedly encounters an extremely strong ion beam wave released by a red giant star, causing a leak of helium-3 stored in the fuel compartment. The ship is forced to land on an unknown planet, where it must search for helium-3 to maintain fuel supply and repair the damaged vessel. To make matters worse, every time helium-3 particles are brought back to the ship, unknown creatures on the planet launch an attack on the ship. To successfully reach your destination, you must temporarily build a small base to eliminate all incoming enemies.
As the commander, you need to use the limited resources at hand to build a small base capable of completing the mission.
Building a base on the desolate surface of an alien planet is no easy task; it requires careful planning of the base layout and choosing the best locations to construct resource extraction stations and research facilities. To fend off attacks from unknown creatures, it is also necessary to build sufficient defensive structures, including not only defensive towers but also traps and obstacles that take advantage of the terrain to slow down enemy advances.
All fear stems from a lack of firepower. Overcome your fear of the unknown creatures with superior firepower!
The game offers a variety of defensive towers, including artillery towers, laser towers, and missile launchers, each with its specific range and damage type. Please arrange the defensive towers rationally according to the characteristics and attack routes of the enemies to form a crossfire network and maximize damage output.
Enemies will become stronger and more diverse as the game progresses. Continuously adapt and upgrade your defenses to give these pesky creatures a taste of bullets.
To complete the mission, you need to utilize all available resources: barriers, towers, traps, and even yourself and the little robot that accompanies you.
Even if you are temporarily safe, never settle for the status quo. The planet's weather is unpredictable and can affect your established defense plans at any time. Do not have any mercy for the monsters on this planet.

Solid "eh". Superficially it's a fairly decent tower defense game with pretty art style. But it lacks both heart and depth, making it feel stale fairly quickly. Personally I'm also not a big fan of the game telling me which building I'm allowed to build at spot X. You pretty much get what you see in the steam preview, but not much more.
前面关卡还是不错,后面设计逐渐离谱,成功体现出游戏玩人,消遣变成折磨
Игра была бы неплохая, но всё впечатление портят нелепые ограничения и механика попаданий противников. Если жучиная арта в вас выстрелила, то она попадёт невзирая на то, что в месте попадания вас давным давно нет. Строить здания можно только в определённых местах и в ряде случаев - даже в определённой последовательности. И таких моментов там полно. В общем - идея хорошая, реализация очень "не очень". Вердикт - НЕ рекомендую.

Good tower defense game. Story feels loosely translated which creates some fun moments. Love the shoot em up aspect where I can also help in the tower defense. There are many characters that you can choose from and they will open up as you play. However, so far the only viable one is the first one you play with. The game works great on handheld PC's and I don't imagine that it needs that strong of a hardware to run. However, I tested this by playing it from a micro SD on my ally X and from an SSD and from my PC. It seems to have moments of lag during playing when spawning new types of enemies. It doesn't much from the overall experience but it still interrupts the flow of play and gets a little bit annoying.
玩下来感觉还不错,可能我美漫画风和塔防两个都踩在了我的XP上。先给个好评吧,快更新快更新,把体量做多了才能玩的爽,现在的关卡都不够玩的
屎啊,我最后悔的就是ea玩过后添加愿望单正式版出了后买了没玩过了退款日期。 人物移动速度慢如龟爬,连准备阶段无限耐力跑图都不给合理怀疑拖退款时间, 怪物超强锁建筑ai,怪物拉着拉着就脱仇恨强锁建筑, 怪物每波强度陡升,不知道的我还以为我是进攻方呢。
i tried to like it, but it gives me headaches: - i can use my mouse and keyboard like an rts, and i assure you, it would be 100% better than using a controller, it' s so slow to upgrade and move around. - translation, omg, months after the release, reading the screen makes my head hurt. - too similar to a very good game: Thronefall, but they did not polish the game. - it somehow lags.
这游戏还是近战好,主要是近战可以群伤。用的黑客妹纸通关一样没打到百分之十。指挥官的机器人伤害不错但是不算船员伤害。狙单点后期怪太多点不过来。最后一关用狙可以很快打到百分之十,但是守不住,专喵BOSS去了。
前期还是稍微有点难度的,但熬过去就很爽很上头,30出头的价格值得尝试下。
面白くない、操作性も悪い
