재미있게 잘 하고 있어요 개발자님 화이팅
재밌는데 이거 린노스케 패시브를 어떻게 터뜨림? 왕된다는데
아따 이거맛있다잉
1. 무한모드(랭킹 타임어택작이 있긴 한데, 느긋 진득하게 해보고 싶은 마음도 생겨서) 2. 랜타디처럼 업적기능(도전과제 말고) 기본적으로 티어별 다이소부터 시작해서 도전과제 조금씩 바꿔서 업적에 박아도 될 것 같습니다. 돈이좋아->돈주는 아케인 다 하나이상씩 보유시 1000골드 지급 무녀 애호가->EX레이무 4티어레이무 PH사나에 5티어사나에 모두 보유시 5티어 선택권 하나 지급 이런 식으로요 3. EX캐릭 만들면 브금 나오는게 보스 브금에 바로 끊겨버리니까 좀 아쉬워요 네이티브페이스나 불사의연기 같은거 틀어져서 뽕찼는데 바로 곡 바뀌면 참담한 심정 무료임에도 퀄이 상당해서 재밌게 즐겼어요 감사합니다 린노스케 패시브 어케 작동하는지 궁금하네요
동방을 곁들인 싱글 랜타디 과거에 Project RTD라고, 랜타디를 판매한 적이 있는데, 해당 게임이 기억난다. 그 게임도 이 게임처럼 무료로 풀고, 수익은 스킨, 이모지, 패스 등을 판매해서 취하는 전략을 가졌다면 좋았을텐데. 랜타디류의 게임인 만큼 기본적인 재미를 보장하고 있고, 동방 소스(캐릭터, BGM 등)를 사용하여 시각적, 청각적으로도 심심하지 않다. 게임의 탬포는 적절한 편이고, 난이도도 적당하다고 생각된다. 멀티모드가 있으면 더 좋을 것 같지만, AI를 이용한 1인 제작으로 보이는 만큼 어려울 수 있다. 현재는 타임어택 랭킹모드가 있고, 랭킹 도전 빡세게 해봤는데, 18분대를 넘기가 너무 힘들다. (조합식을 안외워서 그런것도 있고.) 그냥 일반적으로 클리어하려면 탬포는 넉넉하나, 랭킹작을 시작하게 되면 탬포가 엄청 빡빡해진다. 아쉬운 점은 역시나 멀티콘텐츠가 부족하다는 거고, 개인적으로 단축키를 플레이어가 설정할 수 있으면 좋겠다고 생각된다. (라운드 즉시 시작, 타워 건설 단축키 등) 할 거 없을 때 하기 진짜 좋다. 아 그리고 남캐 PH는 어떻게 만드는 건지 몰라서 아쉽다. (하면 할 수록, 11분대는 어떻게 나오는건지 궁금하네. 치트엔진썼나;)
Touhou Defense Tale ~ AI Test in Touhou ~ is a free to play tower defense game based on the Touhou Project universe. It mixes tower defense with character merging, real time controls and bullet hell combat, giving it a lot more going on than a normal tower defense game. The biggest strength is the tower merging system. You can combine Touhou characters to make stronger units and work out which combinations are best for dealing with the enemies. There are also different fusion systems, so there is quite a bit to experiment with. The battles can get pretty chaotic. You have to defend the shrine while waves of enemies keep coming, and you can manually move your characters and change their targets during fights. This gives you more control than simply placing towers and watching them attack. There are 80 waves to get through, and the main goal is also about completing them as quickly as possible. The time attack leaderboards give you another reason to replay levels and try to improve your time. The Touhou style works really well too. The colourful characters and flashy attacks make the battles look much more interesting, especially when the screen starts filling with projectiles. The biggest problem is that it can become overwhelming. There are several systems to learn, and understanding which characters to merge and where to place them can take some time. The game is also mainly focused on replaying the same wave based challenges. Once you understand the maps and systems, the main reason to keep playing is getting better times and trying different strategies. The AI in the title is also worth mentioning because the developer has used generative AI for character artwork, UI elements, effects, sound and parts of the code. There is no live AI generated content during gameplay. Some players may not like this approach even though the developer says the generated content was reviewed and edited. Overall, Touhou Defense Tale is a pretty interesting free tower defense game. The character merging, manual controls and bullet hell elements give it more depth than a basic tower defense game, while the leaderboards give it some extra replay value. Rating: 7/10
랜덤 디펜스 게임도 좋아하고 동방ip도 좋아하기에 이런 무료 게임이 있다는 것에 바로 플레이 해 보았고, 간단하게 즐기기에 좋은 것 같습니다. 그런데 EX 등급 캐릭터 조합에 특별히 필요한 것이 더 있나요? EX 코이시 조합 재료 타워들을 전부 모았는데 필요한 재료가 부족하다면서 조합이 되지 않더군요.
