Day D: Tower Rush

Honestly, I truly wanted to enjoy a simple Tower Defense game and I would have settled for an 'okay' rating even. This couldn't even make that grade so I flat out returned the game...even knowing it was on sale.

Ein wirklich erfrischendes und taktisches Spiel 100-150 Stunden bekommt man voll wenn man es wirklich zu 100% durchspielen will. Klar auf dauer eintönig und öde, aber so für nen Stündchen am Abend 2-3 x die Woche echt unterhaltsam :)

I do not consider myself a master at many things, but having played this game off and on over the last 10 years (as an internet game), I think ive learned everything you can know about this game. I've really enjoyed the simplicity, detailed animation, and diversity of environments that it brings to tower defense games. Ive beaten the full web version a couple dozen times, and each time Ive tried to approach the game differently to understand the mechanics a little more and master particularly difficult waves (Example: not allowing the second wave of Level 2 of time mayhem to make it past the first bend at the top). The steam version is different than the web version (waves behave slightly different, hit point values as well), you get 3X more upgrade resources with the easy/medium/hard options on steam, and I will say that in both versions many upgrades are a waste of time and a trap for using precious upgrade points. Lowering Tower Cost and Fossil resource tower utilization and performance is critical, and the biggest breakthrough for me was realizing how impressive drum towers are when you have 6+ on a map (especially for tower range). I encourage anyone reading this to upgrade these stats (but not resource tower speed) and the game will become much easier. Its a nice game to pass the time with, and if you are into tower defense like me then its one of the best IMO. I wish they added new worlds, and that the steam version didnt count the ice age and time mayhem as DLC, but the game is good.
