Domain Defense

I found the game fun and reccomend it. Doesn't try many new things but found the multiplayer the best part. Multiplayer, of course, requires controllers because how are you supposed to do it with a single keyboard? Keep that in mind if you want to play split screen. Single Player [list] [*] Normal was slow to start but picked up quickly. Land mine saved myself a few times. [*] The challenge modes are HARD! I only tried tower limit so far but I really had to think where I was placing towers. [*] Game seems to have 3 themes with a dozen levels. [/list] I haven't played Versus yet. Seems to have computer players which I'll try later. Cooperative [list] [*] Looks like 4 large levels and each can be played with up to four players. [*] Friend and I played the first one and ended up fighting over the treasure spawns. [/list]

Having played the game for a bit now I think I would just be repeating some of the other reviewers on this one. Overall a solid base in the otherwise niche genre that is tower defense. I've learned to appreciate any attempt to push or evolve the mechanics of these styles of games, after all new tower defense content is hard to come by anymore. I'm looking forward to see how this one evolves, developer seems genuinly passionate and responsive. I was issued a key for my honest review of this product.

♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I did a Let's Play of this game for my youtube channel. I really enjoy Tower Defense games and found this to be everything I enjoy from them--variety of familiar towers, can place them anywhere. Pretty fun, casual game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA-xVXokNs0

Mediocre tower defence. It would be neutral rating if possible. + Targeting options for towers is useful. + Speed control button press half hour level in 10 minutes. + sometimes you need to think about how exactly upgrade your towers. + 2 types of bonuses: 1) on the map after killing bosses you may choose bonus for some type of towers 2) after each attemp you may choose some tiny stackable bonuses like +0,2% range. After few hours, summary +13% is kind of nice. – Only 12 maps, with 4 modes on each. – Boring maps and mobs. – No hotkeys and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ controls. – Lack of types of towers, imbalansed towers (I didn't build 3 of them at all). – Game is very easy.

Domain Defense is a pretty simple tower defense game; the game's regular single player mode is your general stop the monsters from reaching the end while the other modes are more intruiging and are what makes the game more unique as a tower defense game. Aside from single player there is the versus mode in which instead of simply defending you are also sending monsters down your opponents lanes to defeat them while they try to do the same to you- I think it is an interesting addition and was pretty fun to play, though it was just against AI. I would reccommend this game as a tower defense game, but at the same time it's pretty cookie-cutter with the towers, upgrades, and increasingly difficult enemies running in waves- the single player is not much different than other games of the same genre. If the game was the versus mode with different maps being the levels the game would be much more unique and interesting to play in my opinion.

Based on Single Player gameplay... WARNING!!! Frustration inducing game! lol There are bosses that completely destroy your towers and continue to do so until they are killed! One of them wiped out my best towers and then I lost the game the next round. This was on the first map! Seems kind of unfair and unbalanced to present such bosses on the first map, but okay... What is this? A rogue-like TD game! lmao The game requires some trial and error to beat. Tons of enemies just run right though my defenses every wave! The developer changed the game because of complaints and it is now severely unbalanced and has some typos. There is no way to get a perfect endgame. Way too many creeps are released at once and your towers just cannot stop them all. Forget getting that perfect run satisfaction. Advice: Build your strongest and best towers near the end of the map and make sure to use a lot of range/distance upgrades to win. Those bosses can be rough! Not sure about this game yet. That boss encounter was almost a game breaker for me, because there is no way to repair towers. You just watch as the boss lays waste to your towers! It's pretty frustrating! Graphics are varied, but creeps are subpar, even at the highest settings. They work for a TD game. Creeps are animated okay, but look like they are in slow motion. It's weird. Sound was turned off as default. Once I turned on the sound, it was okay. Sounds fit the game, but they are probably stock Unity sounds. Nothing special. Gamepad controls are turned on as default. You can choose keyboard & mouse in the settings, but the game is definitely optimized for gamepad use. Mouse clicks are not always registered. My experience with my PS 4 wireless controller caused even more frustration, so I am using kb & mouse. There are a lot of different options in the menus to choose from, so that's a plus! It was somewhat of a frustrating experience to watch my best towers get destroyed in seconds and no way to repair them. Even if I could repair them, the boss destroyed them too quickly! Certainly was unfair and a pure lesson in frustration! I did finally get past the first map after my second try but barely! lol I have since then beaten a few more maps, but it needs balancing IMO. You can set targeting for towers which is standard for most TD games, but I have some TD that don't incorporate this feature and they suck for that. You can target nearest, fastest, strongest, etc... Makes a difference for sure! Tower upgrades are handled two ways, so choose wisely! Some need cash (damage, range & rate of fire) and the more helpful upgrades use upgrade points, which you get after each mini-boss and boss encounter, but ONLY if you kill them! It would take too much time explaining everything here. Just know that money and upgrade points are in short supply, so again, choose wisely. Also, some towers seem severely underpowered, to the point of being useless. Everything works great and I didn't experience any bugs or glitches. I guess I'd ONLY recommend this to TD junkies that need a different experience in the TD genre and don't mind some trial and error gameplay... The developer is active and I'm sure he will iron things out in future patches. It's worth looking into on sale.
