Mineral Defense

I am an Avid TD fan with over 100+ of them in my steam library alone. Mineral Defense is a really good TD game with one of the biggest research/upgrade sections I've seen, I think the only thing in there that you cant upgrade is penis size, although I suppose that comes about just playing the game. Every time you run a new level the path is always different and can be maxed out at 25x25 grids, tower variety is great and with mineral deposits also randomly generated it can be a nightmare, like when you find a massive gold deposit... and your cant mine it XD. The power creep of each wave seems bang on and having to have a wide variety of towers to remove armour/shields/HP is a great touch as in most TD's you can get away with spamming the same 2-3 towers each level, this games mechanics require you to build alternate towers as the waves progress. The Developers/Publishers have been incredible too, they are active in there discord and we also contacted them for a live twitch stream promotion and they sources us extra keys to give away to the community which I am extremely grateful for. (we may have 1 or 2 keys left over if anyone wants to try it out) Currently there are only 2 planets to run on Lava & Frozen, would be nice if they added in a couple more into the game like a forest/desert/sea based ones and doubled up on the achievements too which would add double the amount of play time to the game.

Rogue Lite Tower Defense with Cards/ Bonus but a Lot of RNG RNG on 1) Bonus of Tower you get 2) The Tower you can use temporary 3) Layout of the Map you get (After every Wave) 4) Enemy type you will be facing There's a Meta Progression where you unlock towers permenantly and upgrade them.. with Simplistic Stats, like More Damage, More Range More Fire Rate... That's It Eventhough there's a lot of Tower, Laser, Railgun, Rocket, But this game is ... not well balanced. The Game is so Hard even if you use the Specific Tower that is good against the enemy types, I will give a 5/10, Unless they put more Updates, balancing the Ice Level. For now, it's a Either Wait for A Sale, or Don't Touch it

3/10 gameplay loop needs work same thing endless waves until you get CRUSHED by a wave you have no chance of beating now use research points to give yourself more buffs to get a few waves farther no stratagy necessary as no matter what you do you will be crushed by an unbeatable tank at some point until you come back with more upgrades - 15$ not much here would say 5$

Bullet sponge simulator and a very frustrating game. Everything is just random which means you will only win if RNGesus loves you no matter what meta progression upgrades you have. The meta progression just barely makes the game somehow functional, that is if you grind for all of them. Speaking of RNGesus, its always very frustrating to start a round just to get some path splittings right after your start point... and of course mostly another next to it as well with no area to kill the enemies. The balance... does not exist. Sometimes you can beat some waves with ease just to get crushed at the next one without any reason at all. Most Bosses walk through your maze as if it was nothing while all your towers blast at them. Some enemies are so fast, that even multiple points with 6 or more maxed out Slow-Towers in a row wont stop them. The UI Update is horrible. It went from a clean and easy to understand interface to a colorful kids playground with bright colors, horrible controls and missing info and a clusterf*ck of tower menu. Before the update everything was nice, readable and functional, now its eye cancer. Achievements are made for masochists willing to spend hundreds of hours to kill 50k Yetis which btw only spawns in at later waves. So even if you made it this far, you kill about a few of them, maybe up to a hundred... do the math yourself of how many games you have to play. Don't forget to add the amount of failed attempts to even get to the Yeti spawns. Game started okay, then the Updates came and made it worse.

Maaaan, what a game! Bought it, installed it, and played it for 6 hours in a row. Feels like a hidden gem.

What an absolutely fantastic tower defence game! At first this game wasn't much to look at, but since the updates in 2025 it has gotten a lot more fun with new statergy options and the game itself has gotten much more optimised. Since the updates I even managed to get all achievements, that's how much fun it is. Early on you'll find yourself struggling, but as you unlock more towers and upgrade them, researching better abilities etc. you'll be able to get further than you would before. Due to the random generated terrain you will have to adjust your stratergy each time you play. You have to strategically unlock new tiles to give yourself the best possible chance. Enemies stop spawning once you found the spawn tile of the route you're unlocking. Use this to your advantage. This game is very addictive. I just finished a run on the second world where I died at wave 230 just because I stopped using the ablities due to time restrains, or else I would have been able to get much further. You will have to use all tower types early on to get further into the waves. At some point you'll switch your focus on towers that slow down the enemy, that inflict status effects & Bomb towers to inflict the highest possible damage and a lot, and I mean a lot of optimizers. The strategy goes very much in depth if you know how to play this game. Here is an example of what late game looks like: https://prnt.sc/dNrfSbyQl34H An absolute 10/10 tower defence game!

Fun game. Definite clone of Rogue Tower with a scifi skin but I'm not complaining. It's a good formula. Fans of tower defense will enjoy it.

Every lvl is different. Great game. Love this game.
