Domain Defense

Look, this is not the best tower defense game ever made, it's not the second, or third, or fourth best... but it does something no other tower defence game (and very few games in general) do, it offers full controller support for up to 4 people and allows everyone to play on the screen on one level all at the same time... I've already tried it with a few friends and its loads of fun, and even though there were other tower defence games out there....

This game should have been a Pre Alpha for $5, save your money and buy something else! First off, the game forces you to use a gamepad, you can not navigate the menu without using an xbox controller or something similar. The view controls in the game do not work, you should be able to press X and manuver the camera but you get no response when you try to do this. The interactive menus for the game are incredibly awkward to use, in order to place turrets, you must hold down L1 and select the type of turret that it displays on the bottom of the screen. Then in order to upgrade the turrets later in the game you have to use a 'cursor' by holding down the R1 button which latches onto turrets magnetically. The only problem is you are encouraged to group turrets incredibly close together so the magnet feature of the cursor does not work well when you are playing the game. Gameplay is awful, the turrets do not have finished animations for their actions, the later gatling gun, doesn't even have any way to see that it is firing. You can not select the enemies or mouse hover to see how their health is reacting to your turrets, you are only given an incredibly small health bar above each one. Also, there is no difference between any of the enemies, airborne enemies are damaged by earthquake towers and the missle towers attack ground units. Basically you only get one type of enemy with different skins applied to it. There is no explanation of how you get money either, it just randomly accrues while you kill enemies and if you're expecting some kind of LoL or DotA animations for showing money that you're making you will be disappointed. The font is too small to see for upgrading turrets if you're playing on a large screen TV like in a living room which is a problem games used to have about 5 years ago with the introduction of large screen LCD/LED tv's that most games have fixed nowadays. There is no music for the game either, you spend 30 minutes listening to pops and thuds of your turrets firing, and the enemies don't even have complete sound files for when they die (most of the time they just fall over without generating a death sound). This game has all the trademarks of bad programming and should have been finished with much better attention to detail. I bought the game after searching for a local Coop Steam game and got tricked into buying this thing. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I was excited to try this as i was looking forward to a fun CO OP PC tower defence game. Unfortunately, for me this was just not a fun experience. Trying to play split screen on a tv was the worst part. for a game that totes multiplayer as a core component the entire interface just makes the game a chore to play. Everything is way to small and the controls make little sense when trying to play with a controller. The difficulty seems to ramp up like crazy in single player as well. even the first level was a pain, with it getting brutally difficult by 10-15 waves in. Will check back later and see if there have been any updates to make the game more enjoyable but for now i wouldn't be able to reccomend this to anyone except hardcore fans of the Genre.

Alright, I've plowed through about 10 hours now and I think I have the gist of it. The good: The grind is relaxed yet satisfying. Even if you only play 10 rounds and lose, you always get someting out of it; 0.1% damage here and 0.2% range there. I think those small rewards are pretty clever, and it doesn't seem to be too lengthy either. I'm guessing another 5-10 hours and I'm done with the 100% achievements. Graphics and atmosphere is charming. Levels and tower-balance are so-so, nothing remarkable, On my poor budget I'd say this game is probably worth a $3-$5, (but then again I'm a hard core tower defense fan, and I've seen my fair share of really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ tower defense.) The bad: What really gets to me though are the small, really simple issues, that soon a year after release really, REALLY should have been fixed. Like every map has 30 waves, when you complete them there is a "Congrats, you have cleared all [b]40[/b] waves!"-message. It's a small and silly thing really, but since you get to see it after every map you start to sarcasticly roll with your eyes after a little while. There is this "continous mode" without any down time between waves. After all 30 waves have spawned the "completion fireworks" set off, even though you have yet to clear the last 4 waves. And the game is riddled with those small things. Nothing game breaking mind you, yet enough to annoy. Move this button five pixels so the mouse scroll works in all directions? Maybe fix the most glaring text messages? Allow to cancel out of tower building with right-click. There are also things that I'm sure would take longer to fix, but a few keyboard shortcuts would really not hurt, and perhaps another round to fix some visual glitches. The "Ahh, Im done with this ♥♥♥♥ let's push it to steam and forget all about it"-attitude has really been hammered into me the past hours. Still though, it's still a nice little game. Hey Dev! Yes, you! Take some pride in your creation! Polish up the last few things as well! (If you actually care about it I believe I can compile together a list of things to fix, but for now I figured you know about most of it but couldn't be bothered to do something about it).

一款塔防游戏 整体来说游戏质量不高，防御塔没有固定的摆放位置、只要不是敌人行进路线上都能放 没有任何引导，一开始就把所有防御塔解锁了，只能自己摸索，但各个塔有什么特色说实话根本无法去体会到 不太推荐入这种半吊子的游戏，宁愿稍微多花些钱去买那些高质量的

Uninspired and boring.

I primarily play tower defense games and usually play on mobile or browsers. I've been playing the versus mode and I really have to recommend it. Typically in other games bots become predicable but these bots don't seem to have a pattern. They're actually tough too. I'm a fan of the mazing tower defense games so versus was what caught my eye, but playing co-op alone was fun too with the huge maps and new bosses other games haven't thought of yet. Maybe priced a bit high at $15 I'd wait for a sale but it's a must buy for tower defense fans.

Domain Defence is a great game, the only way I can think of to make it better is to add more levels. Here is some information about the game: [list] [*]Some Levels may be more challenging then others [*]3 Stages/Areas with 4 levels per stage [*]40 Rounds/Waves of hostiles per level [*]Gives you the option to speed up rounds [*]Great bosses and mini bosses with unique abilities If you like tower defence games you must give it a try!

Domain Defense is a fresh take on the classic tower defense game. It is more difficult than most, which may frustrate the more casual gamers at first, The part of the gameplay that really sets Domain Defense apart is the VS mode in levels 4, 8 and 12, where timing and strategy change the simplicity of tower defense on its head. I have played and replayed the VS levels multiple times and still enjoy it greatly. I am glad I bought this game and recommend it to others.
