Freaking Meatbags

A really simple RTS that feels like it's intentionally trying to appear 20 years older than it is. Maybe for $1 if you just demand to have another RTS in your library, but I can't recommend it for the $10 asking price. --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?[/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kunovega/recommended/]Want to read all of my reviews and not just the curated ones?[/url]

[h1]Worth $10 to diehard TD fans only...[/h1] It's a cool little TD, with some interesting meta-progression mechanics... but holy holy hell, does this game have a huge lack of tooltips? It's insane. Specifically when looking at stuff in the shop: How much damage does a specific tower do? How much range does a specific tower have? How much health does a specific building have? How much fire rate does a specific tower have? Also, it's not JUST when looking at the shop, it also doesn't show how much health a building has in-game. So how are you supposed to accurately determine which building is suited for you, before purchasing it? You also can't kill your workers (which, if you've played the game, you'll know why you'd want to, for optimization purposes). And you also aren't given ANY information regarding the mutations/perks of your workers, so it will just say "Lazer Eyes" for instance.... WHAT?! What the hell am I supposed to do with that information when choosing which perks are best? "Lazer eyes" or "Explore" or "Hover Board".... like, what?! Give me some 'freaking' information. The tutorial is also massively lacking in information that it provides the player. It leaves massive amounts of critical information a complete mystery to the player. And like I said above, almost the entire game is missing tooltips. When you hover over anything in the game, it gives you a quirky info blurb but provides ZERO actual salient information that you can use to determine whether or not a building is better than another. Also, the game has disappearing loot, which is unacceptable in 99% of games, and this game certainly is one of those games where it's unacceptable. Also, the game just yanks you out of mission when you've completed all objectives, which is NOT the way the game should work... you should be able to leave when you want after you've completed the objectives so that you can continue to splice your workers together. The game has some massive, glaring issues that can be fixed in literally 1month if the developers wanted, so I'm wondering why after 7years+ these issues are still present in the game... but anyway, it's worth $10 at least, if you really really are hankering for a new TD... otherwise if you're looking for the best TD ever created, just play 'Prime World: Defenders 1' which also costs $10 and wait until the devs fix the issues mentioned above.

Me iba a ir a dormir tras un mal día cuando decidí, para despejarme un poco antes de acostarme, probar este juego que llevaba tiempo instalado. ¿Sabéis esos juegos en los que, de pronto dejas de sentir y padecer, y cuando te das cuenta, llevas dos horas jugando? Sí, esos en los que, de no ser porque el proceso de respiración es automático, morirías de asfixia mientras juegas. Pues eso, ahora mismo (5:15 de la mañana) tengo que aunar toda mi fuerza de voluntad para dejar de jugar y acostarme de una vez. Creo que esta noche soñaré con el juego, y estoy pensando madrugar para ponerme a jugar otra vez.

Picked this up for 2-3 euro on sale - Honestly one of the best cheap games ive bought - took ~12 hours to 100% on very hard. Really nice sound, graphics and unlike a lot of cheap games i've picked up the UX is spot on. Strongly recommend for people looking for a tower defence / rts / top down shooter mashup :)

A fun hybrid of RTS and tower defense.

Freaking Meatbags is a charming and original game. It isn't trying to be some other game that was very popular. It isn't trying to be an open world-survival-rpg-colony sim-city builder blah blah blah a little bit of everything and nothing at the same time. It sticks to its lane, which is a rather silly, chaotic lane. It's fun and easy to learn, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Honestly $10 is worth the price, but getting it on sale is a no brainer. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up. 7/10.

Fun indie game. FTL meets Starcraft meets Tower Defense.
