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.

I missed not having the mobile version all these years. Glad to be able to play it again, and it's great that there's been some touch-ups to keep everything fresh. The Roguevenge mode is a nice challenge and a good way to grind currency, which is still pretty heavily needed, and I was instantly hooked on there being new traps like the Mario-esque fire bar. Loving all the references here and there. The control room decorations and drip are also a welcome way to add some style and encourage you to diversify your strategies since the currency for it is temporarily frozen on traps you use enough. Dr. Lord Evilstein commands me to play? I obey!
很有意思的q版横板塔防,资源设定很有新意,用的抓住的公主(自家核心)的尖叫声 陷阱有固定式,小兵和手动触发式,不过陷阱平衡不是太棒,比如地刺基本上必带 除了经典关卡外还有肉鸽模式 节日还会有特定活动 轻松休闲的一款塔防小游戏

[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.
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.
好玩的塔防游戏,毒藤地刺流谁懂(狗头),42元原价很贵,但隔壁应该有非常便宜的可以补票,可惜肉鸽没做完。
挺不错的塔防游戏
Very good game works flawless and is addictive!
Tan hermoso como la primera vez
I like it.
Please, for the love of god, make it so you can zoom out. I cannot manage giant castles with manual traps when I get swarmed from every side. Having to scroll up and down every time is really, REALLY annoying. It makes "Manual Traps Only" missions harder than they should since advanced levels are more preoccupied with spamming heroes than giving actual strategy potential to manage your traps. It's a basic feature we NEED
