Obliterator-X

Great game, especially for being in Early Access. Would recommend it to anyone who enjoys old school video games!

Ugh, this game has problems and I didn't wanna finish it. Its barely got enough to it that I will leave this as recommended but I wish there was more than a pass/fail rating on steam. Id bug them about it if they didn't have bigger legal battles to fight on our behalf. The pacing in this game is really really bad, except for the first 2 missions. Its painfully slow and way to hard to start up with. You require a number of upgrades from leveling together in order to just be able to survive missions even with perfect play. The gameplay loops itself is, yes, fast paced but it ends up just pushing you to run to a few key points then just sit in the middle to fight off mutants. You are forced to backtrack to the first few missions in order to level and gain resources because if you try to stay where you are actually progressed to, you will die within the first few waves and not get hardly any resources or experience for your time and its not fun to hit your head against a wall over and over. The main problem is that your "base" is way to damn squishy. Some mobs will kill it in about 5 hits and you are dealing with waves of hundreds of them. To make matters worse, once you do finally get all the upgrades and unlocks you need plus a good gun (I got a chaingun in mission four and it carried me the whole game) it makes the game way too easy. I really don't wanna go through the New Game + because the game is painfully dull once you know what you are doing. Bigger numbers ain't gunna fix the problem or actually make it more complex. Its tedious. Its got enough to it to be worth it I guess, but its really just barely. Its on the edge. I would recommend buying on sale even with the low cost of 6 dollars. It just doesn't feel like a complete game, but its not horrible either. If it were any more expensive I would not recommend this game and down vote it, however I don't feel thats fair to ruin the recommendation stats of this game because despite its problems its not awful. Its got potential but this game falls flat on its face. Just feels like it needs better balancing and a lot more meat to it. For the developers if you read this, keep at it because you've got something here but theres not enough to really make it feel like it stands out from anything else.

Very good for the price. Great music, rewarding gameplay loop. Definitely recommend

Obliterator - X is tower defence with that feeling of long forgotten flash games. The game has content for a couple hours and is generally small in scale but tightly packed with its systems. Skill system, small town development : all provide bonuses for the next defence mission and Scavenging for new weapons provides some replayability. The tower building system is a little weird ,half because the camera angle and the idea that it is pretty low to the ground ,and half due to terrain or bodies of enemies blocking tiles from being usable. As for the tower defence aspect I will be sceptical if towers or traps can actually stop the entire horde of enemies by themselves ,this task is mostly for the player to solve. Weapons that can be found in the missions …(there are many of them)... are more less imbalanced … having silencer or explosive bullets on them is always better than any other effects … At the end it is a small scale cute game about defending a converter from an evergroving army of mutants. Nice for a couple hours of fun. 7./10 ;+1 if you are a clone.
