Hidden Valley Tower Defense

Fairly relaxing and simple tower defense game. I like the story and how it's presented in the game. I wish there was more variety with the artifacts as I kept getting the same ones. Here is some gameplay for those curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgkD9swtKkg

Game is fun but the dev hasn't responded to anyone since December 2020. There are lots of things that need to be worked on. Save your money unless it's on a super sale.

Pretty fun game, at the moment not a lot of replayability.

Definitely recommend, Hidden Valley TD offers a unique take on the TD genre. The initial random open map layout keeps the game fresh every time, and avoids the staleness that inevitably comes at the start of all other TD's when you die. The skill tree adds even more depth to the game, giving you more freedom to craft your best possible strategy. Having grown up on RPG's, the skill tree alone takes a slice from that genre and allows for endless replay value. The game is fairly difficult but the first few levels do a great job of teaching you all of the in's and out's. All of this along with the quirky art style really makes Hidden Valley feel like one of those games that's made by the fans, for the fans.

It's pretty fun, a little bit of a bummer that there's no progression that you keep since each game is new. One major problem is past level 28 I started to see the frame rate drop and at level 33 it became a slide show. I can't recommend this game until they get that sorted out. My eyes are actually hurting from the stuttering and skipping.

Highly enjoyable tower defense title.After a couple of initial hiccoughs my first run (to level 27) took me about 90 minutes (albeit with minimal speedups). Has the advantage that you can save the run at any time .Looking forward to trying again with the increased "knowledge" I have picked up.Would not mind seeing a "repair all" button.

Very good TD game. Field obstacles and wave bonus are random. You can focus on tower type, stats, magic, and path control. A run can be done in 20-40 mins for high score. Progress does not carry, each run starts from beginning.

Very fun twist on the TD genre. I've played TD games a lot but this game includes unique mechanics such as artifacts and a manipulatable environment that keeps the game fresh. Each run is different as the artifacts change up your play style and how you shape your environment dictates where the mobs go. The bosses are all different sizes so you need to make sure you leave enough room for them too. It's actually pretty challenging but rewarding. There are unique tower upgrades and tower types that make each run different based on how you go down the research tree. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys TD games or wants to try one!

Very good game! I hope there will be some updates in the future. This game still has the potential to evolve but it is playable.

フリータイプのタワーディフェンスです。 フリータイプというのは私が勝手に考えちゃった造語で、要するにユニットの設置箇所に制約がないTDを指します。その都合上、敵は容赦なく障害物やユニットを攻撃してくるため、難易度は上がるものの考えることが多くて楽しい、そういうタイプのTDです。 内容は盛り沢山で、ゴッドスキルはもちろん、研究によるユニットのアンロック、分岐式アップグレード、あとなんか、ようわからん細々とした何かがあります。すみません、まだあんまりプレイしていないもので…敵の種類も多くて歯応えは十分という印象です。 ただ、悪い点もたくさんあります。UIが見づらいとか、UIが使いづらいとか、UIがようわからんとか。派手さに欠けるとか、攻撃が当たっているのかどうかわかりにくいとか、なんか全体的に動きがぎこちないけどウェブプアプリか？とか（実際はUnityです）。 しかし最悪なのはそこではありません。声です。プレイヤーのガイド役にじいさんの魔法使いが出てくるんですが、このじじいの声が気持ち悪いというか神経を逆なでするというか、もうとにかく最悪。もうろくしているのか同じことを何度も言ってくるし、このくそじじいを黙らせる魔法とかないんですかね？ と、口が悪くなってしまいましたが、まとめると「TD好きなら買っても良いけど、早期アクセスでもないのに改善点がたくさんあるし、コスパも悪いから、保証はできない」といったところです。 余談：実はRedditのTDスレで本作の開発報告的なレスを見ていたんですが、今日になってSteamの新作一覧を眺めていたら本作があるじゃないですか。これは何かの縁かな、と思って買ってしまった次第です。
