Siegecaster

I liked the game. It took me 14 hours to make it through clearing all the levels and waves. I think the developer should add markings on runes which told us which turrets benefit from them. It's hard to tell if the extra projectile rune I'm looking at work only on archers vs ballista vs cannons. Maybe it can be used for all three? I focused only on archers. I didn't do anything with the luck runes, but made sure to keep enough of the rest to constantly upgrade them when available. On every map, I made sure to get to all of the other citadels and grabbed all the archer nodes. Towards wave 25-30ish, I usually had enough archers to constantly hold down my mouse without a pause in arrows. I would start picking up the ballista nodes as well and I would build a few just to cleanup the big enemies. Towards the later levels, I would build up 3-4 walls around my main citadel just so I wasn't constantly having to repair it before the timer ran out. This is probably what the developer wanted us to do. The tetris tiles make a lot more sense when I'm trying to fit the perfect wall in the hole. I also only stuck with the frost wizard. Some enemies are "invisible" but if you throw his ability at them, they can easily be spotted and destroyed. When buying a game, I want to get at least 1 hour of unique fun for every dollar it costs to buy. 14 hours for $8.99. Would recommend.

It appears to be a tower defense game where you build walls to encircle powerup runes and to build areas to place your turrets. It's quite tough and I'm still a noob at it but I'm getting used to it now. Looks like it has quite a big campaign based on the world map. I enjoyed it!

Belle surprise ! Concept simple et efficace, du challenge. Si besoin on peut changer la difficulté. Mais de base c'est correct. Je me suis laissé prendre par la boucle de gameplay. Gagner des meilleurs bonus et les assembler. J'ai bien aimé l'équilibre de gestion de l'or gagné. Bien choisir quoi prioriser.

This feels like a modern remake of Rampart. I played from the start on Expert difficulty. I got stuck early on for the first few levels, grinding out the runes you need, but once I understood the game and had a core set of runes, it became pretty straightforward and easy to progress. All of the sessions are on my youtube (or will be). Once I understood the core game loop, it's became mostly satisfying, because there is a little bit of a skill element since the shooting is an active skill based shot. You have to aim. You have to predict movement. It's simple, doesn't have a lot of depth one you understand how the game works and what strategies are involved. My first impressions were not that great, because the game doesn't really teach you about certain concepts, that, once you understand, improves the game a bit. For instance, you get runes you can draft, and when you build your walls around a rune space, you unlock one of those runes. However, the game doesn't tell you that the rune you get only powers towers of the TYPE of rune space you encirtle. So I was very confused, for instance, when I unlocked a Spread rune, which adds +1 projectile to your shots, I was not actually getting the +1 projectile on all my towers. It took a few games for me to realize you only got the +1 projectile to the tower type you applied it to. This means that there are 3 tower types, and each tower can have 5 runes. Once I understood that, I was able to draft out the runes I wanted, then it becomes a little bit of luck of getting the runes you want on each tower type. Once you understand this concept, the rest of the game starts to become easy. That said, there are some negatives: - It's core loop is not very deep - There are some runes that have bugged tooltips, either they are meant to do something else or the logic to their upgrade path makes no sense - There are some OP strategies that outshine everything else - you can explore that on your own - when you have your runes finally upgraded, there isn't much else to do until you unlock the next milestone to upgrade again. You can be "maxed out" for multiple levels. The game could use better metaprogression options, and possibly levels with more unique tower layouts. Every map is basically the same thing, buti with minor enemy variants. I did get this game for free, so I can't say if it's worth the price. For me, it's a solid 4.99 game for the 15-20 hours it'll take me to 100% it. Maybe if there is a Seigecaster 2, with more meta progression and more meat on the bones, it would be worth 9.99. Overall, I'll give it a positive review, but it's borderline.

One of the more fun games I've played on Steam. The game play is well thought out and pretty well balanced. The game can get a little frustrating when there are 100 monsters on screen all after your main fortress. Sometimes it's a bit tedious to keep up with rebuilding the walls, and that's only "negative" part of this game for me. The devs are very active talking with the community and fixing what few bugs exist. If you're on the fence, give this game a go for 30 minutes and you'll likely be addicted.

I like it its a different game of Tower Defense. I play so many different types and its good to have a refreshing way to play. Look Understand my point of view If the game is well built and playable I will give it a go and this one is progressive so if you think play for 3 hours will give you the jest of the game you would be wrong. If you bought and you have it and your bored or just plain looking for a game that will not first person you to exhaustion then try this. It has a lot more than you think. Thumbs up here! Remember you have to really play to understand if you will like it.

On the surface it looked fun but unfortunately its broken and devs have given up...

5 minutes in and you can already see this game was designed by a lazy ass. There's not real tutorial, just a wall of image and text to explain the game, but no tutorial to show you the basics. It tells you that you can switch to build mode any time, but never teaches you how, and there are no key binds in the settings to enter build mode. I'm just going to swipe my hand across my entire keyboard and see if I can figure out what keys do what. Pure idiotic game design. I may keep playing more than 10 minutes, and bang my head against the wall while I hit every key on my keyboard. But seriously the introduction to this game is absolutely terrible and lazy on the part of the devs.

Very well done and fun indie game! Enjoy that it's challenging and requires actually thinking about what you're doing. Reminds me a lot of some of the older arcade-style games I'd play back when I was a kid. Easily worth the cost given the replayability as well!

Wasn't expecting it to be as fun as it was. It's very cool that you are the defense of your own tower in this Tower Defense game. There are loads of options to create your strategies using runes, very neat and the challenge ramps up to chaos levels.
