good game

Unholy Heights is about managing an apartment building in hell, as the devil, who looks like a middle manager. The game is weird and funny, and utterly original in so many ways. The gameplay is part management, part tower defense -- because there are always heroes coming to try to slay all the monsters -- your tenants -- and defeat the devil once and for all. The first half of the gameplay involves filling your available units with monsters and meeting their needs, buying the right furniture, creating the right environment, and adjusting rent based on the income of the tenant. The second half involved taking quests which involve defeating invaders. I'm at a stage in my life where I've found what I want perhaps above anything else in games is something I haven't seen before. The weirder, the better. Unholy Heights is a delightfully weird game that takes place in a universe unlike any I've seen before and I find it delightful; to me, it's worth playing for that alone. I also really appreciate tower defense games where the gameplay is more complex than "now bloodily defeat these nameless hoards of thousands of units." Every quest has a backstory, with recurring characters and locations and meaningful reasons for coming to attack you; waves are typically small, with four or five enemies that need to be tackled in thoughtful ways. The game plays with this convention, sometimes sending just one very powerful enemy, or -- in one case -- like a 15 mediocre ones. Seeing them just keep coming after so many small rounds was really entertaining. I also loved its weird, unique creature types, with evil chicks and guys with a colony of fish on their heads. The designs were great, the art style really helps sell the tone. My big complaint is that I really wished I could idle it. After clearing a quest, you often had to wait for tenants to recover HP or recruit new ones, but the game wasn't set up to run in the background, and I really don't understand why. It was the perfect desktop idler and I would have loved a "run in background" option so I could have used it as a work-focus game. The gameplay issue is that the tenants are weirdly balanced. I'm not sure how much of this is intentional -- the cheepies are supposed to suck, while the tier 4 tenants are supposed to be amazing -- but whether this was just my playstyle or what, I tended to find myself recruit the same few types of tenants over and over. The succubi in particular were viable through the entire game in a way that felt a little broken. But this was honestly pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, and something about it weirdly worked in the larger context of a game that didn't seem to be taking itself super seriously. Oh, and I loved at the end seeing a record of all my tenants! The ending was more high-effort than I expected and it was a nice surprise.

I have a fondness for Hotel-Management style games, and Unholy Heights did it QUITE well. Definately a recommend.

童年经典，好玩

Fun landlord management game kind of like PS1 cult hit One Piece Mansion or Sim Tower.

也是过去美好的回忆之一了，闲来无事突然回想起来就搜了下，发现steam刚好还有。非常有趣的塔防小品，美术和音乐都很可爱，文本内容也是满满的日式幽默，可惜好像没续作，不然这个世界观拓展下应该还挺有意思的。
