Dead Ground

pretty good

Pros: -Interesting concept -challenging rogue like -good maps Bad: -extremly wrong and confusing weapon statistics -only one way to win at harder difficulties -too much luck based -balancing -bugs This game is more unfinished then a lot of early access titles. Even the weapon stats are clearly wrong and seems more like placeholders. Example: The rocket launcher is the most powerful weapon. But his DPS and Damage is real small at the explanation. A simple pistol "Damage 80" and the rocket launcher "Damage 6" But at reality he does way more damage then the pistol and it is even an area attack. The attack times are wrong a the weapon description too. Example: A weapon with attack time 98, 94 and 80. The 94 is over 3 times slower then the weapon with 98. But a weapon with 80 is only 5 times slower. The Balancing is the next big problem. You can get to level 9 at the hardest difficulty with a lot of different towers. But level 9 and above you can only win with big area attack and a few fast hitting towers that clear the faster enemies, so your hard hitting missile towers hit the crowded big health enemies. And then i found out something: your only need a suffocating rocket launcher to win the game. With this you only fire at the entrance of the level, the rocket launcher set a poison cloud at the ground and then all that survived your shot (because the rocket launcher is the most damaging weapon) will die because of the poison. Sometimes you dont even see your enemies anymore. With better balancing the game would be really nice. But this game seems to be rushed and unfinished. Even some upgrades (the last ones, the really expensive ones) disappear sometimes after a battle. This bug is really bad, but the developers dont care about it.
