Tiny Tactics

There's a good game under the hood here. For a tower defence the graphics are good, the character models are nice. However let's be honest, this is a game about building the highest damage output maze you can with the RNG you get. This is where it falls down. There are a LOT of characters. You start of with cheap ones which makes sense. As the rounds progress you get more and more options. I get there's some risk-vs-reward theory in here, the execution is poor. Using the free reroll is mandatory and locking if something useful actually appears. It comes down to either having an outstanding memory for each unit and class type which if you play enough sure you'll remember, but if you don't you're spamming the class bonuses. See that damage list? That character with the name? No idea which one it is. Click through every unit on the board, oooh it's that one. Why not click on the damage list to take you to it?! So you might think ah I'll try to get this one levelled a bit more. Extremely unlikely you'll rarely see even one copy of it, let alone multiple. You can spam rerolls but you just waste coin. You can sell characters and shorten your maze if you wanted. It's very unsatisfying. The UI is also terrible, the DPS meter overlaps with the left most character choice for example. Half the time you can't collect bounties no matter where you click. You have to press space to see the sale bag. You can't move the camera around. The UI hides what you actually want to see. Terribly unsatisfying game but the premise is good. It would have been better giving more coin to balance the RNG, forcing a filled maze quicker, buffing the enemies due to this, and then forcing the player to sell up and create something that harmonises. As it stands by the time you're getting a good setup its over. Very unsatisfying.

A different approach to tower defense. It's definitely fun. Personally i think they made a few bad choices when it comes to UI and color design cause at times it's hard to see some elements clearly due to color choices, ui design/size of some elements or perspective/distance/overlapping. Overall an enjoyable game with room for improvement.

Tutorial is not good. too much stuff without explanation and too early in the game.

Solid TD that was different enough to hold my attention for a while. The little hero characters instead of traps are pretty charming, graphics are cute, musics catchy... Good build variety and the randomization feels pretty fair. Good game

I paid $0.99 and I still want my money back. Its Auto chess style units + minimal td mazing and that is legit it. There really isn't even a UX to hold the game together.

Nepřehledný, ve hře se těžko orientuje.. Debilita.

This is probably my favorite tower defense game. The auto battler mechanics for the units are a good fit. There's lots of dimensions on which to compare the units; different factions, different attack types and ranges, and different special abilities. You'll pick some units just for the faction bonus, but over time you learn which ones you can build your strategy around; some units combo well in ways that have nothing to do with factions. If you play long enough (and unlock enough tavern and reroll boosts) you'll eventually find some combos that can basically always win. The game encourages you to try different units by giving bonuses for completing a level with a specific faction. I try to lean into this and max out the faction when I can, otherwise it can get a bit samey, but if you're stuck on a level you can always get the bonus by just hitting the minimum. The mazing aspect is pretty good; the game varies it up a little by putting obstacles and special tiles in different places. It's usually clear what the "best" path is, but you might have to decide between a longer path and a shorter one that lets you fit in all the units you want. Usually, you'll have to think carefully about where to place your best units, but a bunch of the worse ones will be basically interchangeable and just there as walls. If I have any gripe with the game, it's that I sometimes have to "make my own fun" and deliberately avoid using the same strategy repeatedly or else it gets boring. Also, clicking on bounty hunter coins and moving scouts standing on tall pillars can get a bit buggy sometimes, though it's never caused me real trouble.

Mediocre bir Tower Defense + Auto-Battler oyunu. [b] Beğendiklerim [/b] İlk birkaç saat oldukça eğlenceliydi. Class'ları öğrendiğim kısımlar ve birimleri koyduğum karelerin oyuna etkisi güzel bir tasarım, ne kadar orijinal olmasa da... Sahip olduğunuz savaş alanına koyduğunuz birimlerle bazen düşmanları dolandırabildiğiniz kadar dolandırmanız bazense yollarını kısaltmak pahasına diğer sinerjileri açmaya çalışmanız gerekiyor. [b] Beğenmediklerim [/b] İlk haritayı bitirdikten sonra oyundaki çoğu sinerjiyi öğrenmiş oluyorsunuz ve oyunun geriye kalan kısmında da çoğunlukla öğrendiğiniz bu taktiklerle devam ediyorsunuz. Yani bir süre sonra oyun çok tekrara düşüyor. Elde ettiğiniz taşlarla marketten sizi daha güçlü yapabilecek şeyler alabiliyorsunuz fakat oyunun oynanışına çok da bir etkisi yok. Sadece yeni 3-4 tane class ve bir dizi güçlendirme taşı (oyundaki karakterlere verebildiğiniz ve spesifik özellikler sağlayan taşlar) alabiliyorsunuz. Sonuç olarak; 1$ gibi bir fiyattaysa alınıp, arada bir şey beklerken 1 run (yaklaşık 10-15 dakika sürüyor) oynayıp çıkabileceğiniz eh işte bir oyun.

First non-tutorial level and you get empty map dozens different units and repeating waves. So the entry curve rockets up from zero and you randomly choose units and boring.
