一款思路还算不错的策略类游戏,喜加一入的。
Ce jeu est vraiment très agréable ! Après seulement quelques minutes de jeu, on devient vite accro ^^ Son prix est vraiment très faible au vu du gameplay dispo ! Je recommande !
Yrminsul is a hybrid strategy experience developed by Black Flag Studios and published by Plug In Digital that attempts to expand the traditional tower defense formula into something more persistent and empire-focused. Rather than presenting a sequence of isolated defensive missions, the game builds its structure around a living campaign map composed of interconnected islands. Players assume the role of a malevolent force spreading influence across this fragmented world, using defensive strongholds, spells, and territorial expansion to cement their dominance. The result is a game that blends wave-based tactical combat with long-term strategic planning. At its core, Yrminsul operates as a tower defense title. Each battle tasks players with defending a key location against waves of incoming enemies. Prior to engaging, players select a limited loadout of towers and spells, forcing deliberate preparation rather than reactive improvisation. The roster includes a variety of turret types designed for different tactical roles—single-target damage, area-of-effect control, slowing effects, magical attacks, and more. Enemies vary in durability, speed, and resistances, requiring adjustments in defensive layouts and spell usage. Positioning towers carefully along enemy paths remains the fundamental skill, but the need to balance available resources adds another layer of decision-making. What truly differentiates Yrminsul from many other tower defense games is its persistent territory system. When an island is successfully conquered, the towers constructed during that battle remain in place, strengthening the location for future engagements. However, enemies are not passive; they can attempt to reclaim territories you have secured. This introduces a dynamic strategic loop where expansion must be balanced against consolidation. Overextending without reinforcing your holdings can leave critical islands vulnerable, creating tension between offensive ambition and defensive caution. The resource system revolves around “infamy,” which functions both as a currency and as a measure of your growing power. Infamy is spent on building and upgrading defenses, but it also reflects your rising threat level within the world. Accumulating it allows for stronger defensive capabilities, but it must be managed wisely to avoid leaving territories underprepared. The interplay between immediate tactical spending during battles and broader campaign investment contributes to the game’s strategic depth. Visually, Yrminsul presents a functional 3D battlefield that emphasizes clarity over high-end graphical fidelity. Environments vary across the island map, offering visual diversity while maintaining consistent readability during combat. The art style leans toward stylized fantasy, and enemy designs are distinct enough to identify threat types quickly during hectic waves. While it may not stand out in terms of technical polish compared to larger-budget strategy games, it succeeds in delivering a coherent aesthetic that supports gameplay. Progression through the campaign gradually expands your capabilities, unlocking additional towers and spells that increase tactical flexibility. Early battles may feel restrictive due to limited options, but as your empire grows, so does your arsenal. However, the difficulty curve can occasionally feel uneven. Some encounters may seem manageable at first glance but reveal hidden challenges that require repeated attempts or additional preparation. This can create moments of frustration, particularly when the strategic layer does not fully communicate the risks involved in certain engagements. Ultimately, Yrminsul stands as an ambitious attempt to merge tower defense mechanics with a persistent strategic campaign. Its strongest feature is the interconnected island system that gives battles lasting consequences beyond individual levels. While the core combat adheres closely to established tower defense conventions, the added empire-management layer introduces meaningful long-term planning. For players who enjoy watching their defenses evolve over time and appreciate strategic depth layered atop wave-based combat, Yrminsul offers a distinctive experience. Though not without balance quirks and occasional repetition, it provides a thoughtful blend of tactical and strategic gameplay that rewards careful planning and measured expansion. Rating: 6/10

hideux et jeu totalement naze, comment peut on avoir des commentaires positifs ??
塔防小游戏,还可以,
Jeu sympa et assez original pour un tower défense pour ce pris là, foncé. Modif : A part la dernière graine que je n'arrive pas à optenir, j'ai fini le jeu et je reste sur mon avis. Ce n'est pas un jeu facile mais il est sympa. La fin est... Quand est-ce qu'on a le deuxième opus?
Tower Defense is about what you'd expect.
PROS - Plot is quite okay for Tower Defense and advancing it through comic book pages is nice touch. Sharing more information about world would've been required though. CONS - Small enemies size of few pixels (I'm looking at you Spiderlings) - Most of the spells or powers feel redundant as does late came defense against Crusades - [spoiler] Didn't like the pointless ending after all the trouble [/spoiler]
