I finished up Kingdom Rush Origins. Started trying to clear the achievements, but with no progress indicator I have no idea how close I am on some of these. I got 100% on the prior 2, so either they made some of the achievements more grindy or I don’t have the patience for it right now.
Fine game, but I don’t know if I’ll buy another one unless they change it up a bit.
Unleash doesn’t look great to me. Maybe geared toward multiplayer? I had it on my list to check out when it got released, but I’m not seeing anything that would get me to spend time with it. If anyone pulls the trigger, I’d certainly be interested in hearing more about it.
Would be neat if there was a way to design your tower’s powers and have various combos. Then have a research tree that allows different techs each game so the combos are not always the same.
Yeah, I tried the demo out on the Xbox, and I’ve found that while the idea of a shooter with tower defense sounds good in theory, I greatly prefer my tower defense as a chess match and the shooter/character control actually detracts from my enjoyment.
I am making a tower defense (desktop only) called Tower’s and Heroes. It mixes RPG elements with tower defense ones. I’m not sure it can really compete with the stuff mentioned in this thread (hopefully i’m just being modest but I am still fairly inexperienced).
If you do try it then feedback and suggestions are appreciated. Warning, progress will probably be cleared when it is released.
Also, I saw a lot of interesting tower defenses I never heard of in this thread so i’ll have to give a few a try! Excubitor in particular sounded really interesting.
I’d like a new tower defense fix, but am not finding anything pure TD (ala Defense Grid) that catches my attention. I’m considering games with TD elements, has anyone played Eden Rising: Supremacy?
It has some interesting ideas. First off the paths are random. You are a witch and there are 4 castles that are sending waves to you. Each path from the castle to your witch tower are different lengths / random paths.
You control the witch, which gives you a bit of extra if it’s on a tower when a creep dies.
This is basically endless mode - you get a life for each wave you finish and a life is taken away for each creep that gets to your tower.
The first few waves are really slow and easy, by wave 10-15 you will be wishing for a pause button.
the author is spanish & his english translations are a bit rough, but you can figure out what needs to be done by doing the tutorial (which is just a bunch of instructions that appear one after another).
It looks interesting. It’s a 3D map, so you have horizontal wall & typical towers. Feedback on their steam forums is sparse. There is a Youtube playthrough of the first few levels here:
So I got this during the steam sale, been playing it for 5 hours and I feel like I’m playing kindergarten td with so much hand-holding and so many achievements and so many things to do. I remember at the beginning they say “you can just play TD and skip the story but we don’t recommend that” and I’m beginning to think that I need to ignore the story.
The thing is, I’m 5 hours in and still dribbling out characters / abilities and it’s too easy. I’m not sure I like the mechanic of “you only get one spot to place a tower” and then dribbling out new tower placements. I like it when they give me a choice (the tower deployment token that drops), but when the game puts them down for me, I feel like I’m being hand-held.
Trying to get all the stars can be very challenging. I don’t remember much about the main campaign, I spent most of my time trying to get all the stars…
