Dwarfare: All For The Forge

[h3]Not too bad for a F2P tower defense shooter. May not have the production value or depth for diehard fans of the genre though.[/h3] If you are familiar with the tower defense genre (especially the FPS hybrids), most of the game won't really surprise you: - You have an object to protect from enemies. - You have a finite set of points where you can place turrets. - Enemies can come by ground or by air during each wave. - Enemies that can reach your turrets will attack them. - You use currency to place and upgrade turrets. - Turrets have synergies based on attack type and/or effects (i.e. ballistic turrets do extra damage to frozen enemies). [h3]Things Worth Noting:[/h3] Unlike most tower defense games, when you want to interact and place or upgrade a tower you simply click on buttons in a UI menu. However, in this game you type commands into a terminal prompt. Some tower defense games give you infinite time between waves to plan out your turret placement and upgrades, in this game there's a timer which you can skip to earn extra currency. In this game you can repair turrets during a wave for "free" using your hammer. However, it's kinda slow so your time may be better served shooting invaders in the face. At the end of the wave all the towers slowly repair over time for free. Weapons in this game don't work off ammo, but rather a heat management mechanic, which makes sense as they all seem to be laser based. So basically you cycle between weapons as you wait for cooldowns on the previous one. Each weapon has a secondary attack/effect which also expends heat. [quote] [b]NOTE[/b] - There is something janky about weapon swapping. It feels like there's this hidden cooldown that happens when your gun overheats that slows your ability to just immediately go to the next weapon as I find myself pressing the button multiple times before it works. Not sure if that's intentional or not. But I did run into many situations where I thought I had swapped weapons but didn't. [/quote]
