tower defense sim

A simplistic tower defense game with a minimalist style. Very challenging and very entertaining. It is, as the other reviews would say, very forgiving but it does allow you to quickly change out your load out or redo the wave and tweak your layout and see if that does the trick. There is no speed up button BUT you don't really need it due to its forgiving mechanics and nature of the waves and map itself. Either you succeed or you don't. Game wise, there are a variety of enemy types and towers (some are better than others or are direct upgrades by nature ie. the pylon being better than the obelisk and etc). While most of the content is simple, you really have to think about your load out, Most of the time, simple and straightforward works best but with the challenges and the other variables in play, slotting in a certain tower and building around that is the obvious way to go. The music doesn't tire you out and blends seamlessly with the simple nature of the game, which draws obvious inspirations from other games like Thronefall and Monument Valley (both great games, highly recommend). Achievement wise, you can easily get them by going through the game and the moment you get them all is the moment you actually finish the game. While it is sad there is no more content as of this time (like a daily challenge or endless), it is a comfort to know there is an actual end to the game and you can move on with the peace of mind that you've done everything and anything the game has to offer. A fantastic game worth the money you are gonna spend, pretty cheap already but if you can get it on sale or in a bundle, then that is just smart spending. I look forward to whatever else the devs and publishers put out, whether it be another game or an update. It is also works on the steamdeck (even the LCD one). Enjoy! XD

Nice relaxing and interesting game with good soundtrack. works well on steam deck.

Muy recomendable, un tower defense que te deja rectificar y experimentar sin perder su dificultad, algunos desafíos han todo un reto. Ojalá hubiera alguna manera de ver las estadísticas de cada torre, para calcular dps y tal. Una cosa a mejorar es que hay torres que no sirven para nada como el Obelisco, Escupefuegos, Bum y en raras ocasiones Gatling, lo mismo pasa con los compañeros hay alguno que ni usé

Simple but challenging enough to be fun. Good amount of variety and content for the price. Hope the devs keep working on the game, it's awesome!

Very satisfying and forgiving before throwing some real curveballs. A good take on a tired formula.
