Вполне хороший и недорогой ТД. Много героев, гача, древо талантов. Гринд присутствует, но лично для меня это минусом не является. Из отрицательных моментов могу отметить дизбаланс по качеству героев. Некоторые синие сильнее и полезнее эпических. / It's a good and inexpensive TD. There are many heroes, gacha, and a talent tree. There is a grind, but I don't consider it a negative aspect. However, I can mention the imbalance in the quality of heroes. Some blue heroes are stronger and more useful than epic heroes.
I really wound up liking this one. Will look for more from this developer.
That was fun!
노가다 너무 심함
谁能告诉我最后一个成就怎么完成 Who can tell me how to complete the last achievement?
it's fine
I wish there was a mid review. I enjoy it for what it is, but my god this is a VERY idle game. I wish steam would use incremental more because it sounds dumb to say that an "idle" game is bad because you idle a lot in it. Like sure I get it, some games are just like that, I don't really enjoy that style and prefer more active incremental games; but for Refence you can't really fully idle, you have to click on some stuff to progress. Even stuff like speeding up the game a bit so that the waves go by faster is a step by step unlock with a pretty steep price. If they do an overhaul of the progress and maybe either speed up the combat or just shrink how many waves there are, it would be a much better game. Right now it is super super grindy with no real way to "idle" progress, so it just feels weird how little there is to do actively.
First immersion into the game was enjoyable. Slow and steady made way for swifter progress. However, this negative is earned as a result of the game's "prestige" mechanic. While it offers meta progression such as "two times x resource" and other such features, the process of resetting your timeline ("prestige" in this game) sets the player back to a point where you have to regrind for basic aspects of the game that you had already unlocked. Prior to the prestige, you'll have had access to X, Y, and Z, but then the description of the prestige makes it sound like you keep them. However, they are gated behind a grind to re-access them. If I already grinded 3 milliion of material X to unlock my skills in the first 20 hours of play, why would I want to spend 20 minutes grinding 2,000 of that same material at a massively reduced rate upon prestige to re-unlock that same skill? Then again, and again, and again on each subsequent prestige. The entire point of a prestige is so that the player can progress exponentially and not have to re-accomplish basic elements of the game! Like most of these mediocre idlers these days, you'll enjoy it for a few hours and then realize its substance is shallow and progression is hollow. Numbers go up but you don't feel any different than the first minute of play--in this game's case, prestige actually feels like a step back.
还可以,前面还算有趣,后面就基本纯挂机了
很爽,在开了自动选择的研究之后,配合CE加速5倍,直接升天!不能开再多了,显卡风扇在警告我了。。。。修改就更没有必要了,毕竟是花的自己的钱,几分钟弃坑了太亏了~
