This title appeared virtually unannounced on Steam this past Wednesday. As a fan of tower defense games, I was immediately intrigued and had little reluctance over spending the paltry $20 to download it after seeing some of the gameplay trailers. It is a great tower defense game. So good, in fact, that I’m actually having trouble progressing through it! And I thought I was good at TD …
It’s really only been out for four days and I know there are people playing it because it’s currently one of the top downloads on Steam, but I have found next to no discussion in any forums about it. Clearly there are people playing because the leaderboards are filled with scores, but it doesn’t appear like anyone’s actually talking about the game.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Too many good games out there right now. Call back when I start playing more games on the PC and when there aren’t so many good titles out for the 360.
I saw this on Steam but didn’t know anything about it. I do like tower defense games, but there’s a lot of good ones you can play for free. Is this worth spending $20 on? What does it offer that the multitude of free TD games don’t have?
The production values and Steam achievements are the first things that come to mind. It’s no run-of-the-mill TD, but it’s also more than just fancy graphics as well … if I may say so, it’s considerably more challenging than any TD I’ve played. Later levels also introduce a puzzle element which is guaranteed to make you rethink your strategic approach and the layout and timing of your defenses. Given the various medals, achievements, and difficulty settings, I think the replay value is also much better than average.
As for whether or not it’s worth spending $20 on, I already gave my opinion on that in my first post. And I still think it’s a bargain in this one.
