Mob Factory

yes

fun

This is actually a really cool idea for a tower defense game. You have a combination of TD and building, crafting and automating everything. I have not played too many TD games so there is not a lot i can compare Mob factory to, but i really like the vibe and general idea of this game. you can save at any moment, you can build and remove anything and you don't lose anything if you want to try out different ideas.

I'd recommend it as a game to play while you listen to a podcast but if you are on the fence play the demo. It's a very decent little game and I've had very few bugs. With it being part tower defense and part factory. It's at times a weird stepchild to the two genres that have inspired it. The factorys aren't that complex and tools at your disposal can be clunky (The only splitter is left right only, filters only filter to the front and shunt everything else to the side, there is no multi select filters). And while the tower defense isn't particularly deep. The enemies do each having unique gimmicks to work around that present novel challenges and are probably the strongest part of the game.

The game is fun. Mechanics are easy to understand and follow a complexifying tech tree that's classic for the auomation games. The "island" configuration, coupled with the requirement of having a tower defense for every single island stops any "crazy" factory plan. Recipes are usually capped at 3 different source ingredients which is a welcome restriction given said island configuration. Weapons are bought, not built, with incremental cost to keep the game balanced. You must alternate between set ups according to the ennemies of each spawn point instead of just providing overwhelming firepower of a mass built turret. The game effieciency is not quite up to par though. You can fnish the main scenario successfully, but trying a new game + with crazy ideas to mass generate spawns and killzones will just make the game lag and generate errors.

it is good

love it

~I guess I'm just a dumbass, but the tutorial tells me to do things that don't exist. The music is awesome though.~ Ok it's true, I am a dumbass. My son picked up this game and he's loving it.
