It’s a pretty fun tower defense game. What sets it apart is that your “towers” are actually automated defense satellites which are orbiting around planets! There’s a constant stream of alien invaders that have to be dealt with, but you can change the orbit of your satellites in order to maximize the effectiveness of your defenses. You just have to be careful, because moving one of your satellites will usually affect the location of several other satellites too, and you don’t want to leave any gaps in your defenses! The game has three modes: [b]Story[/b], [b]Challenge[/b], and [b]Arcade[/b]. [b]Story mode[/b] takes you on a 21 mission journey through the solar system as you try to fight off the “Unstoppable Gorg” alien invasion. It has a great kitschy 1950s sci-fi theme! Watching my protagonist get threatened by a silly-looking “Sunbot” alien brought a smile to my face; this is parody at its finest! It’s not often that you see a tower defense game with an entertaining story and fun visuals, so I have to give the developers props for that. [b]Challenge mode[/b] has 21 missions similar to Story mode, but with extra mission parameters. For example, in one mission the enemies might move with extra speed, while in another mission some of your satellites might now be locked in a set orbit, unable to be moved. In [b]Arcade mode[/b] you try to survive for as long as possible against increasingly tough attackers. I made it to Wave 75 before finally giving up. There is a large variety of enemies to fight, and you’ll constantly be changing tactics to deal with new threats. For example, one enemy type has a short-range suppression field, so any of your satellites that are nearby are rendered unable to fire. So only long-range attacks will be effective. Another enemy type is a bomber that will occasionally fire missiles towards your main base. But you can intercept the missiles with firepower from the right kind of satellites, or simply block the missiles by changing the orbit of your satellites and using them as an impromptu shield. The player will gradually gain access to a large arsenal of satellites and bombs in order to fight the Gorg invasion. There is some standard tower defense economy management, as some satellites will generate income, allowing you to buy other satellites. You’ll need to strike the right balance between bolstering your economy and increasing your defenses. I found most of the satellites to be useful, but there are few stinkers. One is a “webber” satellite that slows down nearby aliens, but not enough to justify its cost. My favorite satellite creates an energy beam which links to other nearby satellites. Any alien crossing through the energy beam takes heavy damage, and complex beam-based defense grids are possible, which is pretty cool. Pretty much every mission has a gimmick or twist to it, which you’ll have to figure out in order to progress. And this takes us to the greatest strength and greatest weakness of the gameplay. On the upside, the player is constantly forced to change tactics depending on the mission. The tactics that brought victory in the last mission will often not work in the next mission. So you never fall into the trap of just building the same satellites over and over, or having the same build order over and over. You are constantly forced to think and adapt to succeed. The downside to this is evident from most of the negative Steam reviews this game has acquired, which complain that the difficulty is too hard or that trial and error gameplay is bad. To be clear, in this game you will play a mission, lose the mission, then probably make several more attempts before finally beating it. Even on the easiest difficulty level, beating a mission on the first try will be rare. So, players who dislike having to rely on “[i]a priori[/i]” knowledge to win will not be a fan of the gameplay. On the harder difficulty levels, speedy micromanagement is necessary to win, which may also be off-putting to some people. As for myself, I played through all three game modes on the easiest difficulty level, and then replayed some of my favorite missions on harder difficulties. This gave me about ten hours’ worth of fun entertainment, which, considering the game’s low cost, is a pretty good deal. If you like innovative tower defense games, this one is worth a try!

This game is a masterpiece. The audio, the visuals, the gameplay and the characters. The dialog made me cry. I've played this game twice already and both times I had a completely different experience. It's beautiful, and I will continue playing this game until the end of me. I bought a whole new gaming PC, two RTX 4090s, an i9 13900, 64 gigabytes of RAM, making sure I can play this wonder at 4k 240 FPS. I don't just recommend this game, I'm telling you to play it. If you don't, you are missing out on the reason humans exist. Every single person should play this game. I will fight wars to make sure people can continue playing this game. I have stayed in my room since this came out, which is the day I wrote this, and I haven't talked to anyone except the NPCs in this game. I think this is the next step in human evolution. We will eventually all be plugged into a machine, like in the movie, "The Matrix", where this beautiful masterpiece will be our life. Every day, we will wake up in heaven. Every night, we will go to sleep on the copy-pasted textures on the ground. That soon will be the glorious reality, the reality we are meant to be in. Download this game right now, it should only take you a second, and play it. Enjoy it. Live it. Also this predates the 'Gorg Commander' from the hit dreamworks movie Home. Also Also, this is a "if Team Fortress 2's invasion update got its own spinoff game" game.
BEST TOWER DEFENCE GAME EVER!!!! okay okay, let's get things from the start. Like space age B-Movies? If Yes, then this game is worth the $9.99 just to see the per stage intro and outro videos. Never mind what type of game is. Jus' Get for the vids. Trust me on that. Or not. Perhaps am a liar set by the Gorg to try and persuade you int getting this game. Anyway, DRM free. Feel free to get and install on linux thru wine. Can give it to a friend too. I still doubt any of you punny earthlings will be able to stop [THE GORG™️] Anyway, that's all i has to say about it, mus' go set up defences now,[THEM ARE EVERYWHERE!!1] c'ya later. Or not, i gues will see >8(.
I really liked the game and it took me 26 hours for the 100% finish and it was a nice challenge. The hardest part for me was Chapter 19 Unstoppable for the Hero Medal. It took me 6 hours before I had it. Towers: Energy generators: 3 [10/40/120] Attack: 7 [Machine Gun / Canon / Missile Lancer / Laser / Rocket / Sweeper / Beam Link ] All of them can be leveled up 2 time. AoE: 1 [Black Hole Device damage in one area] Support: 4 [Webber to slow / Repair station / Radar station for better range / Shield station] Map AoE: 2 [Electro Bomb to slow the howl map ut not you / Atomic Bomb to skill small enemies at ones ] Tactics: It always depends on the enemies, situation and play stile. Same times Missile Lancer only and on the next map Lasers only or a mix of all. There is no 100% sure way to beat each Story Chapter or Challenge on Unstoppable. Especially in the Challenges. :) Tip for Chapter 21 / Challenge 21.1: Read the Text on the screen! You can not kill them all :D Simple: Is it hard? Yes Can it be done? Yes Is it a challenge? Deficiently! [Only 1,9% did a 100% run] Will I play it again and did I had fun? Deficiently :) Is it worth buying? On sale yes. Out of Sale no! [It is way to expansive out of sale. System: Mint 21.1 Proton 8.0-4 Bugs: Only one: When you start the screen stay black. Alt-Tab out and in. Then the games run fine and hat 0 bugs or crashes.
Funny, but also absolutely worth a play if you don't mind failing a lot to keep making tweaks to your setup. ===================== [b]My Tower Defense Tier List[/b] ===================== [b]S Tier:[/b] X-Morph Defense | Warcraft 3 (Custom Maps) | Orcs Must Die! | Orcs Must Die! 2 | Orcs Must Die! 3 | [b]A Tier:[/b] Dungeon Warfare | Plants Vs.

Es un Tower Defense original, ya que en vez de tener las torres en posiciones fijas, las tienes en órbitas que tienes que estar moviendo continuamente. La ambientación de película de serie B de los 50 tiene su gracia. Excesiva dificultad.
A hard! sometime annoying! but great! defense game! The story is great :) it about a alien invasion probably based on the The War of the Worlds (1938 radio drama). "The Flying Saucer" look extremely authentic :) Great Game without a doubt positive review.
Nee leider nicht so toll wie anfangs gedacht, das ist kein richtiges TD das ist irgendwas aus einer nicht erforschten Species, keine Ahnung wie man diese nennt, weis nur der Entwickler!
A very fun and unique Tower Defense game with lots of different enemies and towers.... until you will try to do any of harder difficulties and then realize that your choice of towers is not free at all because the game turns into annoying trial and error puzzle with only one way to solve it. More than 50% of unique and interesting tower types you cannot even use because they are unusuable for most of missions outside of normal or easy difficulty. Shame.
Very funny tower (planet) defense game with funtastic retro estetics. I can highly recommend this hidden gem.
