Neon Colony

Interesting venture into the Tower Defense genre - an expanding path game (in general concept not as unique as some may suggest). Notwithstanding, a multilayered game where it can take you a while to work all the ins and outs - I'm still learning. The upgrades available are large in number and it takes a while to work out which way you want to go - there are 4 general categories, and you can cherry-pick as you like Non annoying music!!! (quite interesting actually) Looking forward to what comes.

Fun and interesting take on the tower defense genre. Deserves more attention than it's getting.

[h1][b]《Neon Colony》——融合地形构造的简约风策略塔防[/b][/h1] [hr][/hr] [h3]【游戏玩法】[/h3] [list] [*][b]选择难度：[/b]主界面的“Greed”难度有四个等级可选，这里的难度决定了敌人通向大本营的初始路口数量，一级就只有1个路口，防守难度最低；4级则四个方向都有路口要防守，难度会成倍增加。 [*][b]选择指挥官与星球难度：[/b]选好难度点击“Start Game”后，可以选择指挥官，不同的角色带有不同的初始能力和属性加成，但最开始只有“Generico”这一个可以选择，能力是“基础塔的基础伤害+5”和“地块刷新费用降低20%。其他角色的解锁需要完成关卡推进进度才行。下方的星球难度从T1到T5再从0到15，下方会显示该难度下的任务要求和目标波次等。 [*][b]道路布置：[/b]在波次开始前，需要铺设敌人通往基地道路。玩家可通过旋转屏幕右下角的地块以适配标记为“X”的位置（点击绿色的回转箭头是旋转地块，点击蓝色的骰子按钮是消耗金币刷新地块），而后点击“X”放置地块，资金够的话可点击中下部的齿轮按钮建造炮塔防守道路，摆放好后点击“Start Wave”敌人就开始当前波次的进攻了。当然也可以选择不放置地块直接开始。 [*][b]商店升级：[/b]位于中下部靠左。每个波次结束后可获得一些信用点数“Credits”，可用于在商店购买增益效果（只能在波次间隙购买），增益效果包括可以提供新的防御塔、防御塔升级选项、升级经济发展科技、增强军事力量等。 [/list] [h3]【防御塔介绍】[/h3] 防御塔位于中下部靠右的齿轮图标，点击后会出现当前可建造的防御塔，有攻击型防御塔、增益型防御塔，以及采集资源的资源建筑。对于前两种防御塔，在放置时可优先考虑建在高地上，能提高该塔的作用范围，作用范围会随着地势增高而获得×1.0、×1.25、×1.5等的倍率扩大。升级只需直接点击已放置的防御塔点“Level Up”就能花费一些钱完成升级，打怪获得经验也能升级；有钱就优先升级，其次造新塔，升级的性价比更高。 [list] [*][b]资源建筑：[/b]Resouse Buildings，初始价格200，整局游戏中每造一个加价10。可建在资源点上（如废料、石油、钻石、陨石）以持续提取这些资源，生产速度与该处资源点的产量有关；使用资源可以建造更多防御塔。 [*][b]基础塔：[/b]Basic Tower，初始造价低，只有100，整局游戏中每造一个加价25，前期方便迅速扩大规模形成战斗力；射程较远，单发攻击。 [*][b]碉堡：[/b]Pillbox Tower，初始价格175，整局游戏中每造一个加价50；短射程，朝6个固定方向的多弹齐射，中高频次的射速。 [*][b]火焰塔：[/b]Flame Tower，初始价格300，整局游戏中每造一个加价100，每秒消耗（等级+5）单位的石油，以锥形范围（基础角度60°）造成范围群伤，有20%概率燃烧敌人，持续4秒；对装甲目标和大量聚集的敌人效果较好。 [*][b]激光塔：[/b]Laser Tower，初始价格800，整局游戏中每造一个加价200，每秒消耗（等级+5）单位的水晶，是一种高级远程塔；单体攻击，对护甲护盾能造成高额伤害。 [/list] [h3]【不足之处】[/h3] [olist] [*]第一个问题就是游戏急需汉化！！！（We need Chinese） [*]无法像《Tower Dominion》那样可以进行道路合并，一旦当前铺设的地块有支路，总路线支路就会永久+1，无法通过合并道路整理路线，导致需要频繁刷新地块。 [/olist] [quote] 恭请雅鉴 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45531068/]黑白测评[/url] [hr]黑夜显真 白昼辨伪

Fantastic tower defense game with the unique concept of placing tiles each wave to increase the map size. Loads of different strategies that are all balanced, making it very fun to play. Based on the chosen character, it also forces you sometimes to play a different strategy than your 'own', which automatically makes you explore different strategies. It is also challenging, slowly building up from relatively easy to extremely difficult. It takes some time to learn and optimize a certain strategy, which is really enjoyable! The standard of this game is similar to the classic tower defense games, like BTD, which is way I really recommend this game!

Fun game, good mechanics

Fun game with a unique take on the tower defense genre. With the extensive options for different strategies and all the different characters to play, it keeps the game fun to come back to and try new tactics. There is a lot to enjoy for anyone who like their tower defense games, and considering the amount of hours played already i'd say it is well worth the price

Fantastic game ! I am having a lot of fun playing and nerding it for a month. ~80h of play so far. After 40h I thought I had seen it all, yet the highest difficulty levels forced to reinvent my playstyle several times. Reassessing priorities, figuring out new pathway & playstyle unlocked by specific technologies paying in unexpected ways. I would recommend this game for people typically enjoying strategy, optimisation, running the math to figure out which technology will bring the highest returns on investment, balancing short-term and long-term priotities. Anyway, do give it a try !

Right out of the get you i got sucked in by the killer soundtrack and the unique artwork. Game, set, go! Easy to understand mechanics and layered gameplay making me going back for new waves over and over again. With 20 unique characters with all different traits this game offers a lot playstyles and content. I love the fact that i feel like i'm getting better at the game each time i play while still being challenging enough each time i play. Recommend to everyone who wants something new out of tower defence games or want to play tower defece for the first time.
