About

BAD IS BACK! Castle Doombad is the treacherous strategy / Tower Defense puzzler where you play the villain and must defend against the pesky heroes so-rudely invading your evil lair.
This Classic edition includes the original Castle Doombad from 2014, newly rebuilt and remastered from the ground up, plus the addition of brand-new content and features.
Slay the good guys with your choice of over 30 delightfully devious traps and minions! Strategically mix-n-match your arsenal with wicked weapons that fire automatically and manually-activated traps that require precision timing to pack a painful punch! Unlock and upgrade your traps, troops, and castle on your quest to become the baddest of them all!
Break Bad and defend your dark domain across 90 puzzling stages, or take on the nefarious new roguelite mode: Dr. Lord Evilstein's Roguevenge!
In this new mode, the challenge is ramped up, and no two attempts are the same. Choose how your castle expands as you advance, grow your trap arsenal during each run, and collect mighty Nightmare powers to make the heroes pray for a quick Game Over...
Collect loot from fallen heroes to deck out your Dark Lord and his control room! Each item includes a Baddie Bonus upgrade -- but your equipment spots are limited, so prepare to tinker with different diabolical builds.

Esse jogo fez muita parte da minha infância e fico extremamente feliz em vê-lo sendo atualizado até hoje, Castle Doombad é muito gosto de jogar e passar o tempo com uma boa progressão agora que não há mais micro transações no jogo comparado a sua antiga versão de celular, e agora tem mais fases, armadilhas e até um modo novo muito bom. Eu recomendo muito se você gosta de um Tower Defense e ser o vilão da história!
[ru] Честно спустя столько лет я думала, что игра окончательно умерла, пока случайно не наткнулась на аккаунт разработчиков в таблрере, после чего чуть я прошла больше половины уровней на телефоне, а дальше узнала, что данный шедевр есть на стиме и он все еще обновляется. Моей радости не было предела, особенно, когда узнала, что разработчики планируют выпустить 2ую часть с кооперативом. Не ну, что нужно для счастья? Все получено :) Жду вторую часть, спасибо разработчикам, которые игру переводят на русский язык. ----------------------------------------------------- [en] (The text was written for the developers using Google Translate) Honestly, after so many years, I thought the game was finally dead, until I stumbled across the developer's account on my social media account. After playing a few more than half a level on my phone, I discovered this masterpiece was on Steam and was still being updated. My joy was boundless, especially when I learned the developers were planning to release a second installment with co-op. Hey, what do you need to be happy? I've got it all :) I'm looking forward to the second installment. Thanks to the developers, the game has been translated into Russian.

в детстве играл в эту игру и становился стратегом, сейчас решаю переиграть чтобы почувствовать настоящим стратегом, ностальгия и хорошенькая игрушка
This is a fun entry in the tower defense genre. This seems to have been made with Plants Vs Zombies as the inspiration but this game makes its own space and feels unique. The main similarity is that the enemies that attack your base are unique per stage and often have a counter-pick that you can choose to use that makes it a lot easier/harder to defend. (e.g. an enemy that crawls on the ceiling to move across the stage, meaning it can jump over floor traps but is weak to ceiling traps.) Biggest flaw with this is that unlike PvZ, they do NOT show you which enemies are coming beforehand. There is no real opportunity to plan your build against each level. You pick your towers and then start the level, sight unseen. There is a fair amount of progression in the game which gives you plenty to do and feel like things slowly change/improve. The biggest issue I have is the difficulty has a habit of rubberbanding and it sometimes feels like it is designed to frustrate you. It will intentionally spawn enemies that counter your build that you are using and you can do nothing but watch everything crumble. Still... there is a lot of fun to be had if you are willing to overlook a few flaws. Extra points are given because the devs have been actively updating this game and interacting with their community. That is well far beyond what was expected when this game came back to life. They have added more weapons for you to use in the last few updates and it doesn't seem like they plan to stop soon. 8.5/10. There are minor bugs and balancing issues that hamper the fun, but overall this is well worth the time for tower defense fans.
Does this tutorial ever ends?
This game is absolutely peak, played it when I was a kid and discovered yesterday that this game is actually on Steam. Like the title says this game is a classic, it´s a lot of fun trying out different traps and strategies to keep them knights off of your princess. Compared to when I played like 6 years ago this game got a bunch of new updates like traps, a rogue mode and even decorations which work as passive upgrades which is really cool to see. So overall a really fun tower defense that I´d glady spend my money on just for the pure joy it brought be during my childhood...
O jogo é nostálgico e bom, mas, com o passar das fases, vai ficando bastante entediante, e a mecânica entre cada fase é quase sempre a mesma. Tentei alcançar os 100%, porém é muito cansativo.
Después de casi 36 horas y completar casi todos sus logros en 16 días, recomiendo totalmente el juego si eres fanático de los juegos de defensa de torres. Tiene muchas trampas divertidas para hacer combinaciones dentro de las 4 posiciones en las que puedes colocarlas y enemigos muy variados que te van a hacer sudar en algún nivel. Hablando de niveles, tiene alrededor de unos 90 y un modo roguelike con trampas y objetos aleatorios que hacen más larga y divertida la experiencia. Por su precio y las horas que puedes sacarle, está excelente.
Грав її коли вона ще була в плеймаркеті на телефоні. Це була одна з моїх улюблених ігор жанру захист вежі, і ось нарешті її повернули, та ще й більш зловісною! Муахахахаха!
Totally addicted. Was included with my Tesla. Became addicted in car and also wanted it on my gaming PC. Et voila.
