Rats, Bats, and Bones

A nice little tower defense game heavily inspired by Dungeon Warfare. It's a little bit more rough than DW in terms of amount of content and balancing, but still a great game. Some people claim that the game has bad balance towards the end, but personally I haven't noticed that. It naturally gets harder on later levels - well, so do most games. There's no "unfair" challenges even in the later levels.

This might be the best tower defence game of all time. I know it's a big call, but I can't think of one that's better off the top of my head. Oh, never mind - PixelJunk Monsters is the best tower defence game of all time. This might be the second-best tower defence game of all time. Oh, never mind - PixelJunk Monsters 2 is the second-best tower defence game of all time. This might be the third-best tower defence game of all time...

Fun lo-fi Tower Defense game, this is a well thought out solid game. It gets pretty tough for the end levels even on easy, but generally you can get by with a little strategy and the correct trap/bonus selection. The focus is the gameplay and it is done very well, with no bugs or issues for my play even on a Steam Deck. Graphics and story is pretty minimal, but it is fun if you can overlook small studio limitations.

Dungeon Warfare風タワーディフェンスですが 味のあるグラフィックやBGM含め、こっちのが好み。 DWと比較してトラップや敵キャラに個性付けが目立ち 選択式のパッシブスキルも重要なポイントになっています。 トラップを組み合わせることで真価を発揮するような 特性を理解した立ち回りが要求されるケースもあり エンドレスモードではそれらが重要になってくる感じ。 FC風ドットゲーということで軽そうに見えますが エンドレス中は相応のPC負荷が掛かるので注意。 ゲームは面白いのに脇を固めるデザインが伴っていないという 残念なゲームを度々見かけますが、配色やキャラ造形含め クリエイターのセンスが光ってますね、素晴らしい。 BGMがとってもクールで普段から良く聞いております。 自分でゲームを作るなら真っ先に参考にしたい作品かも。

Anyone who liked Dungeon Warfare will love this too. It have very similar gameplay with even more retro graphics.

Rats, Bats & Bones is a tower defense game developed and published by Smallfry Games and was released back in 2019 just before halloween. Player takes role of an Engineer traversing a medieval countryside ravaged by the undead an eldritch horrors and must find the source of evil and destroy it. With the aid of your traps you can force the enemies take a certain path through the level. You can also use the environment to your advantage. If you manage to push or bounce enemies into water/lava they'll be instantly killed. Pros: + Good amount of towers and upgrades to play with. There are a couple useless towers you'll almost never find use for though. + OK enemy variety. There are some enemies who are just stronger reskins of earlier ones but most do have unique abilities such as being able to heal other enemies or immunity towards certain damage type. + Challenging but fair difficulty. Many negative reviews have called the latter half tediously hard but I personally didn't mind the third act. There are admittedly couple annoying stages in the game but nothing seriously aggravating. Every enemy has a weakness and once you learn them the game becomes a breeze. + OUTSTANDING sountrack. Goes perfectly with the game and is an essential part of the gameplay experience. + Game has comfy ZX Spectrum-esque graphics. Sprites for different things are distinct enough as well. You can tell different towers & enemies apart from each other easily. Neutral: +- Game runs OK though it did crash & freeze a couple times during my playthrough. No lag during normal play but later waves in Endless Mode will tank your performance due to how many enemies there are on the screen. Cons: - Audio has weird clipping problems when there's a lot happening simultaneously. Music in the main menu would also "freeze" at times which was annoying. - Game becomes rather grindy if going for all achievements or wanting to beat the levels on hard because to unlock hard mode for a level you have to beat it on medium difficulty first. This means that you need to play through the entire game twice for Hardcore achievement (or thrice if you first beat levels on easy like me). - You have a limited amount of refunds for skill tree respecs. I really recommend this game to any fan of tower defense games. It took me around 19 hours to 100% the game though you can probably squeeze another 10-15 hours of playtime if going for 5 skulls on all maps' endless modes. And if 5 bucks feels like too steep of a price for you, don't worry, the game does go on sale for really cheap (down to less than 1 euro).
