Island Invasion

Island invasion is a fun, fast paced tower defence game. I really enjoy the retro-futuristic graphics, the unique towers (the laser tower is just so satifying to watch in action) and the music/SFX. The mining and path blocking elements add something a bit different to the game that I'd not seen before in other tower defence games I've played. Its a great little game that you can have a blast at and keep coming back to and at £3.99 its a steal For full disclouse, I helped in the beta testing of island invasion, however I enjoyed it so much I purchased my own copy as soon as it was available.

Fun, casual tower defence games with just enough depth to keep you interested. Gets pretty intense in the late-game where the enemies take a lot to defeat. Has a good level of strategy that doesn't require an intense amount of thought such as allowing you to set individual priorities for towers and placing them out of range of disruptors. Great for killing a few hours, looking forward to more

Played this for a very short itme, but instantly realised there are better free games. For some reason the maps I had were very limited as to where I could put any towers (the exact opposite is true for other tower games I have played). I really could not recommend the game due to having played free games that are substancially better (and more developed in respect of game modes available... 1vs 1 , 2 vs 2 ,3 vs 3 , 4 vs 4, co-op mode etc.etc.)

A surprisingly fun little time killer, that I thought I would give a go for an hour one evening. 3 hours later I was still trying to climb the leaderboard and figure out the best set up for tower combos. The game is fun, the selection of towers is reasonably diverse but ultimately, I found myself using no more than 2/3 different types each game, having them all upgraded by wave 30 and then just waiting around until I could no longer kill the enemies and find the balance of air vs land/sea. Has a fun art style that doesn't look like it will become dated, sounds and music is pretty good overall although I personally turn it listen to my own music. Considering some of the other small indie games on steam, this is definitely one worth picking up, especially if updates are to come.

The screen is not optimized for Mac OS X no matter what resolution you choose. Part of the bottom of the screen is off screen so you cannot get the map to scroll down once you scroll up. ALSO, the game is Air & Sea units ONLY. No land creeps to worry about. It is VERY hard to place towers!!! You can only place towers on flat land which is random, so some maps you'll just quit and try a different map. It is so frustrating watching creeps pass by as you are frantically trying to find a spot you can place a tower on!!! Very frustrating! Terrible design choice and a waste of time and money IMO.

This game is highly addictive and you can find yourself playing for hours trying to beat your high score. I like the map generation feature that allows almost endless possibilities to play different maps. I would definitely recommend this game for the fact that it's well priced, entertaining for a long time and you will find yourself constantly trying to beat your high score!

Island Invasion ist ein arcadiges Tower-Defense Spiel mit hübscher Low-Poly Grafik. Auf zufällig generierten Karten gilt es in klassischer Tower Defense Manier Welle um Welle gegnerischer Luft- und Wasserfahrzeuge abzuschießen, bevor diese den Ausgang der Map erreichen können. Dazu kann man verschiedene Abwehrtürme bauen, die sich den Einheiten in der Luft, auf dem Meer oder sogar beiden gleichzeitig widmen können. Obendrein kann man die Wege des Gegners blockieren und auf jeder Map Ressourcen abbauen, mit denen man die eigene Expansion voran treiben oder Upgrades für die vorhandenen Türme kaufen kann. Weitere, besonders erwähnenswerte Features sind das Map-Seed System und die globale Highscore-Liste. Mir haben die ersten paar Stunden in Island Invasion sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Mit knapp 4 Euro ist das Spiel für Tower Defense Fans ein echter Leckerbissen.

Surprisingly fun tower defence game! Would recommend picking it up for a couple of quid. Works great on Linux. Things to know: - You can place towers on the sea blocks - There is a hard limit on the number of towers so it requires some thought - Planes are hard, as you cannot reroute them like ships
