Creeper World 4

This is one of those games where the visuals may be a bit... "meh", but the gameplay itself is really addictive.

Great game! I quite enjoyed how well this game scratched my time management, resource management, and tactical thinking simultaneously. I don't love the 3D aspect i found it a bit hard to see what was going on and see what quantities of flow were happening. 80% would recommend!

This developer has been working on the same game for decades and still somehow finds a way to make each entry more epic than the last. Its the Creeper world game you expected, except now in 3D!

Do you like tower defense games? Do you also like tactical thinking? Well, that's what this game is. Ya got the blue stuff, which is bad and wants to kill you. And ya got your towers, which can do a variety of things from produce resources or kill blue stuff (but there's a lot in-between). But what makes Creeper World 4 different from most other tower defense games is that you can place your towers anywhere (plus most of your weaponry towers can pick themselves up and move elsewhere) and the enemy can go anywhere. You're fighting against fluid dynamics, and if you're skilled (Or retry enough) you can win. Oh yeah, and you can launch orbital bombardments on soup.

I really wanted to give this game a recommendation, but there are glaring flaws underlying it that cause me to not recommend it. It is overall a decent game, but has one fatal flaw: It's unfair. I don't mean to say that it's hard, but the problem is that NOTHING is explained to you. At all. You can dedicate hours to a mission, only to lose to some secret mechanic that was never actually explained. You can go the entire campaign not knowing about important features because not only are they not explained to you, but not even related features are. They are not even hinted at. I learned more about the basic features of the game from google than I did through the game itself. In the end, the game is unfair. It is unfair not because it is difficult, but because it hides the rules from you, and capitalizes on your ignorance.

Control land mass and push back the enemy, Simple sounding but with a fluid based enemy and simulated on a variable height map the complexities add a new and enjoyable view on the classic control strategy. The weekly challenges kept me playing long after completing the story line and playing with and against my friends was a nice change as well.

you win in the first like 5 or 10 minutes of a mission once you get the set up correct but then you have to spend 20-60 more minutes after that slowly pushing turrets towards the creep until its destroyed. It has fast forward though so just make sure to use the fast forward feature
