Nexus Defenders

A pretty fun game. The first couple levels were easy (must have been ramp up levels), but they got nice and tough after that. Never seen boss fights in tower defense, but some of those bosses really deserved the name! Pro tip: The game works even better when using a touch screen

Fun tower defense game that scratched the itch I had for this genre. Gameplay is fast paced with the ability to pause and slow it down as well. Found myself laughing at some of the dialogue choices because the humor was spot on. Difficulty definitely ramps up pretty quick on level 2 so if you're looking for a challenge you'll find it quickly in this game!

Fun stuff. Enjoyable, off-kilter dialog options. Works fine on Steam Deck with right trackpad as mouse.

A pretty good and cheap TD game. I like the idea of using things like "orbital" strikes and what not. It can get pretty brutal too if you don't pay attention. The difficulty also ramps up after the first two level, but so do the the options in how to tackle a level. Unrelated to the gameplay, I do like how the levels geographically connect. It's not like you can pan between the levels, but you can see the previous level's "style" connecting to the current level you're playing. It's a nice little continuity detail that I appreciate.

In a world full of TD games, adding a good story on the top makes this WAY more interesting than it would have been. I like the jokes, the story, the art, and the gameplay. The gameplay is not breaking new ground in the Tower Defense genre, but it does the TD things effectively. The enemy types are reasonably varied and I definitely underestimated the speedy ones. Absolutely worth the price and worth your time. https://youtu.be/EUfh3PkIgfs

I highly recommend watching the full review of this game at https://youtu.be/RKCxgsyIaZM It's a challenging tower defense game that requires strategic thinking. Although it's not story-rich, it has a visual novel component that adds to its charm, even though it serves almost no purpose in the game.

I'm shocked that this doesn't have an early access tag. Just play defense grid the awakening its three times the TD this is

Total ♥♥♥♥ yeah for 5 bucks. Simple straightfoward TD. This one is among the few where participation is mandatory otherwise you'll just lose. If there was one thing I would have changed it would be a save option. I hate having to restart to keep the run flawless EDIT: ♥♥♥♥ really needs saves especially when you don't actually pick up where you last were at

This game has some promise cool explosions, good looking environments, and immersive music. However: 1. Some of the enemy assets look and feel low quality especially the tanks. 2. The conversational cut scenes are text and static image based. They feel like they're out of a newgrounds flash game circa 2003. In 2024 I would have expected voice acting and basic animations at the least. 8/10

Zelda, Mario bros, and Skyrim...these are some of the games that come to mind when I think of top of the line games growing up, well add Nexus Defenders to that list. This game is engaging and forces you to strategize on the fly if you are going to advance to the next level.
