Crystal Fortress

Jogo perfeito, você pega rápido a jogabilidade mas quebra a cabeça a cada dificuldade pra otimizar uma estratégia de acordo com os obstáculos. Quando percebi, já era 2h da manhã e eu precisava avançar só mais um nível... Vale a pena, recomendo demais!

I played this game on stream. A link to the VOD will be at the bottom of my review. Overall, I like the idea of combining these 2 genres together, but I feel like the execution wasn't entirely well thought out. While the game isn't bad, it also isn't really good. After the first world, the game starts to feel quite slow and becomes very predictable and repetitive. My overall summary really also has most of my thoughts on the game. There really isn't much else to say. I wish the game focused more on an RPG system, like what if the player could build the character in different ways to meet their playstyle? Maybe one build focuses on building towers, another build focuses on empowering the fortress, and another build focuses on buffing the player character. I feel like that would have been pretty cool. But here, you get pretty linear skill trees that *some* focusing can be done, but for the most part you'll wind up needing to upgrade one skill tree in order to benefit another skill tree, which sort of winds up in a fairly lock-step progression through the skill tree rather than being able to focus one way or the other. I suppose the best part of the game is that it seems pretty well polished and can provide some good entertainment if you just needed to kill a few minutes of time (like this would do way better as a mobile game or played on a handheld device). With a cheap price, I guess it's fine. I feel like the developer could make something far more interesting if they had higher ambitions, but overall it's just a pretty simple game that might be fun for a moment, but will be quickly forgotten with time. It's a soft recommend only because there isn't a "meh" rating on Steam. You can watch my first impressions with the game at the link below: https://youtube.com/live/AGkVa1s_Qy4?feature=share
