Obliterator-X

Fun roguelike crafting building game great use of drones to aid you. Very playable on steam deck didn't even need to edit any controls. Nothing revolutionary but just simple and fun to play decent challenging gameplay. 9/10 https://youtu.be/wK1Jgm7qdGQ?si=CZnMHQiNhkFVHbsN

Fun mix of action roguelike twin-stick (or KB/M) and tower defense, with base building between rounds. The nicely detailed store page will give you all you need to know in terms of how the game plays because while it's not overwhelming, there's more going on here than your average action roguelite or tower defense. The art is nice enough in a simple pixel art style but I wish it zoomed out more -- the game's zoom level depends on which weapon you're wielding (for example, shotgun is zoomed in further than rifle) and it's all a little too close up. On my 42" OLED on my desk I'm looking at pixels the size of ham sandwiches. The music started off with some really rippin' metal, very professional sounding (Rotting Christ, apparently), but then some levels have more ambient background music, a really jarring shift there. The game has a long ramp upward as there are a lot of weapons you can buy and upgrade, and also the more drones you have, the more you can make them do. You can have some scanning the environment for loot, some building or fetching, and some on defense with you. Or manage them to complete tasks together. There's a lot of ways to approach the looting and defense in this game and there's a lot of depth here for five bucks. If you're a fan of either genre I suggest you check it out.

Obliterator-X is a roguelite action game with tower defense mechanics set in the Australian outback. You play as a clone fighting off waves of mutants and laser emus (damn you, laser emus!). Feels fitting to be in the apocalyptic world, and you scavenge sticks of RAM from piles of mutant corpses. Wish there were drop bears tho. Each run has you gathering resources, setting up defenses, and preparing for increasingly challenging enemy waves. It can get surprisingly tough, but thanks to its roguelite progression, losing never feels overly punishing. Even failed runs reward you with XP, unlocks, and keeping scavenged weapons, making each attempt feel meaningful progression. Overall, it’s a solid package with that classic “just one more run” pull as you experiment with different defensive structure layouts and try to find better guns. Protips: Stack on reload speed perks and get guns with exploding bullets. 7/10 Horde Challenges Video: https://youtu.be/zcx3RMyPQ6c

It has a bit of basic base defense while you fight off waves of the swarm. Way better product than I expected for an obscure game like this, with some striking audio/visuals. That said, I found it boring to play.

Obliterator-x is a core defense game (if thats even a genre) where you try to defend the core in the middle of the map, using drone you can purchase permanently, tower that you can build using the temporary currency in the map and your own skills and gun. There is no set path the wave spawn it which is why i wouldn't consider this a traditional tower defense game and you can finish level without tower if you want althoug ha bit harder. In between wave, you also have the chance to explore the map a little and try to find better weapon, loot or temporary upgrades which make it more interesting than just a tower defense game. I had a few complains at the start like no minimap, or the noise mechanic not making sense but you can unlock the mini map and unlock a skill that make the sounds go down after each wave pretty soon so these complains were gone pretty fast. You will have to grind the maps a little bit before going to the next one or you will be underleveld or a bit undergeared if you don't, making the next one harder. Some people might not like that but i found that it was fine, not too grindy but not too fast either. The only remainings small complain that i have is that i wish i could zoom out the game even more, i know that clicking the right joystick once unzoom it a bit but it still feel too close to me, and after defeating a boss, i wish i had more time to collect the loot the enemy dropped. When having multiple turrets and drone, you have a really big range to collect stuff and i'm often seeing the end screen with multiple loot that i wasn' able to collect.

I feel like my experience is not really representative of the game, at least balance-wise, because I got a gun so strong in the first level after the tutorial that I used it until the credits rolled. So an aspect that I imagine is supposed to be fun, which is the looting, was just ignoring 99% of all guns dropped because every gun was weak af compared to the one I got 20 min into the game. The screen felt really busy, and a lot of the time I had trouble finding my cursor and had to shoot my gun first to find it. Also, the default zoom of the game is way too close, and you change it by pressing a keybind, so the majority of my experience I felt like there was something wrong with the resolution since you can't change the zoom in the settings. The game overall feels clunky in a gamey way, and with a banger OST that cements the game away from feeling atmospheric. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I imagine some more polishing would really improve the game. With that said, I don't think it's a bad game, along with a cheap price, it might be worth it if you are stuck playing on a potato or you want some flash game nostalgia feeling. I just felt I could have spent my time on a better game. If they polish the rough edges, you might find a worthwhile game.

this is early access at best riddled with bugs, balance issues, qol issues, ... not worth the price tag imo

This game is a love letter to other flash games I remember playing as a kid. It's polished, has great rpg elements, and progression to make the waves feel very rewarding. The graphics, and carnage are great on screen and to have an interesting story to boot? I'm sold! Super fun as a shooter, and base builder hybrid. I'm already telling my other friends to give this game a try too! Always nice when you find something new that comes out of the blue :D

First of all, the music is PERFECT! I love it! This is a fun game. It took me a few minutes to get used to the controls because I am typically a console gamer. But a friend turned me on to this game so I dusted off the 'ol PC and I'm glad I did. Fun game, fun concept, I think it's easy to pick up and get into it. I highly recommend it! You should play this game. For now, I will stop writing this review to go back to my game and see what happens! Rock and roll!!!
