Wrack: Exoverse

enjoyed the game this far, always liked tower defence games and am into shooters so a good mix of both.

While roguelike features are a fun twist to the action tower defense genre, it's unfinished with plenty of placeholders. The core of the game is fun and interesting but once you start seeing placeholders for items and t-posing characters in a fully released game your immersion will be broken and you won't take it seriously anymore. The bigger issue it has is it never got advertised much and the fans of the original Wrack weren't really into TD genre, so there was no one this would cater too, unless you were lucky to find it, for that reason the developers went out of business and it's now never gonna be complete. I'll still recommend it as the game is good, for what there is, but do take this into the account if you're gonna get it.

Good game play but no depth. There are many turrets and weapons and hints at an interesting universe but you don't really work towards any of that. There is no persistent progress or growth. Every game is an island of its own and while it is fun enough, there isn't enough depth to hold you in for more than a few matches.

A tower defense game where you create the path the enemies have to follow, it's also 3D first-person which is cool and the art is cel-shaded and looks great, also you get to help out by shooting stuff https://youtu.be/Kxxe46GvDxc

Orcs Must Die 2 + Sanctum 2 + Risk of Rain = Wrack I love this game. It has all the stuff I loved from Sanctum 2 and perfected it then put it in a Rougelite form. It works beautifully. The comic book graphics are amazing. Gibbing lizards has never been so satisfying. Looking forward to the many hours I'm going to put into this game.

Tower Defense and Action Roguelike genres don't mix very well with each other, and the core gameplay here isn't much fun either. Turrets can't rotate, can overheat from firing, and have overly complex attack patterns. Random items also spawn between waves. I'm not sure about it but levels and enemy wave compositions might be randomized too. Considering all this, the gunplay becomes wildly randomized as well. It's very hard to keep track of everything so you're just going to be running around trying to do your best not to let the situation spiral out of control. I felt like level completion boils down to my luck much more than my strategy. Honestly, in my opinion Tower Defense games should be about figuring out the most effective setups for each level. Yet here I felt like everything is just kind of thrown together. It probably wouldn't be too bad but I once found a turret not shooting at all because I totally misunderstood its attack pattern and the other one being disabled due to overheat for a while, almost losing me the wave - all while I was too busy dodging and headshotting enemies. Can't say I was excited to continue soon afterwards. Just go play Sanctum 2 instead.

[b] There's no game quite like Wrack: Exoverse [/b] [i] A Roguelike, Tower Defense, FPS [/i] Just the genres speak for themselves. This is a fun, unique experience. Just like the first game Wrack, the gameplay feels pretty good and the comic visual style is amazing. The experimental blend of genres and the Wrack universe is what makes this game a gem. Making a fun or interesting Roguelike or Tower Defense is tough but Exoverse does both! Keeping it casual and not overdoing it, this game is layback. I played for around 10 hours and felt satisfied, and has potential for replayability. Not many complaints. My game crashed a few times and lost that current run. Game can look a little unfinished in some areas but nothing too bad or gamebreaking. Just wish there was more levels, achievements, unlockables or reasons to just keep playing. [b] Overall [/b] If this game looks at all interesting to you, get it! This is a nice, little, experimental, Gem. As a fan of Tower Defenses, FPS's, and newly to RogueLites, this game can scratch all of those itches. If you enjoy the varied gameplay, you'll love this game!

So Wrack: Exoverse is basically a tower defense FPS similar to Sanctum with roguelike elements and set in the world of Wrack. Edit 04/16/2019: Okay so, I'm starting to see the game shape up and feel more complete. I have no clue if it's because of me unlocking more stuff or the dev(s) figured out the missing ingredient but I'm beginning to enjoy Exoverse a lot more.

If you like comics graphics and Tower Defense, you probably like this game. The game feels incomplete for now, but I think it has a lot of potential.

First of all, a huge thanks to the devs for sending me a key for free! Did you play Wrack? Well, so did I, and it was an okay shooter. So they took that famework, and turned it into a relatively solid tower defense game. The game works great, no technical issues. It's a slower game then the original Wrack, but you know, it's a tower defense, it's supposed to be slow. Overall, if what you're looking for is a first person tower defense, this is easily one of the best options on the market right now. If you're looking for a shooter, this one is sound, if slow.
