Spires of Morosith: Gossamer Sundered

Its a fun game, the different maps change old strategies up, and create new ones. The Delver City Maps are my favorite, as they enable you to aggressively use Conduits for harvesting lumber quickly. The game really lets you stretch how greedy you can be with early Manasteel Fountains. Some maps you can build that wave one and the early income of manasteel makes the rest of the map much more managable, while others this greed becomes your downfall. This manasteel is used for things like the Eruption Flame Tower, which is a beast, especially the noble version. Controlling the enemies' paths through making a maze or a choke point is the key to success, and on some maps its really about how you can get the Grainwraiths to the right place.

Loving this game so far! I am not a huge player of Tower Defense games but this one is so relaxed and yet complex enough to keep me interested. The charm of the art style is really cool and if I had to endorse a specific tower type, it's the FLAME TOWER! Excited to keep progressing and unlocking new areas. The difficulty curve is really nice too, I haven't felt overwhelmed or anything and have plenty to discover with all the levels included. Highly worth the money and the investment! Give this game a try if you're brand new to Tower Defense especially!

An addictive tower defense! I found myself playing for hours on end. The mechanics are quite a bit different from most other TDs I've played. There's no cascading effect of where if you miss a few mobs, you get less money, thus less towers to not maximize your kills. Instead you get tower "gold" by chopping down trees. But the trees are also part of your maze. But also you need the gold ASAP to defend your Obelisk! So you have to find a balance between all three. I didn't find it too hard on normal fun, and there's a few bugs that are a bit annoying. But overall, I really enjoy it, and it's pretty cheap too.

Pretty cool tower defense game with some RTS elements that add a lot of depth. You build mazes with your towers and other buildings, forcing enemies onto specific paths. Killing enemies under a collection site gets you points that you need to beat each level. Map variety comes from unbuildiable areas and the placement of collection sites cause you to really think about what towers go where. There is a lot of room to min-max and figure out the best combinations. You have 2 workers to micromanage. They gather the resources you need to build towers. If you don't pay attention they might remove trees causing a hole in your maze that causes some hectic fun as you try to patch it. And bosses! The bosses I've seen can destroy trees opening paths for enemies, or disable your towers. Its very cool to have a boss wave spawn and see a fun mechanic you didn't plan for. You can also build some non-attacking buildings just to block off pathways or empower your workers or produce other resources. There is an endless mode that I haven't really messed with but just the campaign itself is a good time.

Я играл в неё с беты и получил за некоторое тестирование ключ от разработчика. Но отзыв положительный не за это. Судите сами. Это Tower Defense, в котором экономика строительства башен базируется не на убийстве монстров, а на сборе ресурса на карте, ты можешь руководить сборщиками, задав очередь сбора деревьев через шифт. Это может существенно поменять игру на уровне, позволит как освободить место под башни, так и, при не аккуратном и вовремя не закрытом дешёвой башней проходе, открыть мобам новый проход к базе. Плюс, для победы нужно собрать "эссенции" с врагов только в рамках определенных предустановленных объектов, область которых ты можешь расширять специальными постройками. На миссиях встречаются древние знания (собираемые, как деревья) - аналог метапрогрессии, открывающий доступ к улучшениям башен и новым постройкам, в том числе к особому ресурсу для дальнейшего улучшения башен и к усилению сборщиков (иногда это 1 сборщик на уровень, иногда 2). Из построек есть, например, врата, через которые могут ходить только сборщики, но не монстры. Есть режим чертежа - выставляешь (можно на паузе) условные башни (их чертежи) и смотришь, как это меняет маршрут монстров. У мобов есть свои особенности, некоторые разгоняются, если долго идут по прямой, некоторые временно отключают башни или выжигают деревья (превращая их в мёртвые корни, без ресурсов). Вполне уникальный и приятный геймплей, рекомендую.

Actually a really good twist on the typical mechanics of a tower defense. You have to kill enemies in specific areas, but those areas are also your resource drop off location, so the more you buildup in that area the slower your income, its a great balance and doesnt have all the same build layouts as you would expect from other maze tower defenses.

Overall a decent tower defense game with maze building element. Having said that, it's still really barebone in term of scope and no leveling up system whatsoever, so little to no replay value.

didnt know path builder tower defenses could be fun and unique

Very cool tower defense game. Its visually very well made with a cartoony but high quality style. You have a lot of control of the map. You can command units to chop down trees to open areas, while using turrets as barriers to make a maze for the enemy. While the music is lacking, its the kind of game where putting your own music on is probably the way to go anyway. https://youtu.be/4ergRcFGBcs

Having played from the prototype stages to the current demo, I can say that the game has changed so much in such a short amount of time -- all for the better. I love the map level selection menu, the snowglobe is super cool, which was completely absent last time I played. The core of the game is a cute but sometimes infuriating (for my lack of skill) tower defense game that blends some RTS elements. I especially enjoy the cool boss fights. There's definite skill expression in the path-building side of the game. It's one of those things where when you fail you can only think to blame yourself. I got to get good to beat it
