Monsters are Coming!

В игре конечно есть свой интерес, но галочка "оптимизировано для Steam Deck"... Оптимизация -вышка. Если на экране хоть чуток врагов- фпс улетает в 30-40, ну да ладно, терпимо. Но когда вы переходите в бесконечный режим, то от кол-ва проджектайлов и эффектов на экране фпс улетает в 1. Один раз при получении уровня игра зависла минут на 5 и отлагала потом, в следующий же раз я отлетел в 0 фпс, фриз и просто музычка с зависшей игрой. Итого 1.5 -2 часовой рейд в пустоту. Спасибо! Оптимизация под деку - 10 из 10!

An extremely unique game, with similarities to a lot of beloved games. Firstly, this game holds a lot of similarities to Vampire Survivors. Or as I've seen other people calling them, bullet heavens. (Cool name btw, wish I thought of it.) You play as a lone defender, keeping a town secure and you gain experience to help build that town up as you wander down a long path filled with monsters as the night slowly creeps toward you. Oh, yeah... and the town moves too. You get various buildings to improve your power, loot and even shoot at the enemies. So, it has some tower defense in there, except you're on the track and so is the tower. You get points that give you various bonuses to make future games easier by increasing various stats. Make the town more beefy, increase the damage of your towers, even increase the damage of you! If you lose a game, you still gain from that loss, so it's not all a complete waste of time. Keep trying, you'll get there with each and every type of town.... Speaking of. Once you get a type of town down to the end of the level, you add that part of town to a huge city. I'm not sure what the benefit is other than looking really cool. There are different characters to play as with their own bonuses. (I like the mayor myself. But I've only unlocked a few) the default one isn't worthless though, as his bonus is quite strong. So your first play should go fairly well! You can eventually ramp up the difficulty and gain even more points to use to upgrade your character. No doubt becoming an absolute deity.... until you up the difficulty again. You can also keep going once you've added a town to the city, in an endless mode. But I found that spiked in difficulty too much for me. Maybe when I've progressed more I can do it again and update this review with info about that. Ultimately, I had a lot of fun with this one. I look forward to trying other characters and towns, as well as different towers. It's a damn good game and a very unique game. I'd also like to thank Second Wind for recommending it on their youtube channel. Without them I'd have never found this absolute gem of a game. Thanks for reading, or skipping to the end. Whether or not you agree with me. Please have a lovely day. <3

Ein absoluter Griff ins Klo. Es bockt schon nach 3h nicht mehr. Immer das gleiche. Gebt das Geld lieber für einen Döner aus , da habt ihr mehr davon.

overall a fun experience with a lot of different viable strategies! I took the time to work up through the challenge ratngs, which while a bit tedious was definitely worthwhile for the unlocks. I just got 100% achievements, and I think the unlocks were really necessary at the higher challenge levels. I still have some of the Nightmare level objectives to finish, which I think I'm going to do at least to get the unlocks. I haven't played a tower defense game in a long time, this was a fun way to ease back into the genre. my biggest complaints seem to be with bugs. one is known (game will crash at higher endless levels just due to the number of things on-screen), but the other is that there's at least one challenge I'm not actually able to complete (Road of Ashes - Hard, Reach the Ark after building at least 9 Farm). my game seems to want me to reach the ark 9 times and between each ark I need to build 9 additional farms which... just doesn't seem correct? and even if it is correct unfortunately for me I guess my PC just isn't able to handle that many assets on-screen at once. it wasn't a required challenge to get 100% achievements though, and it doesn't have an associated unlock, so it didn't interrupt my flow too much to skip. minor complaints include some weird UI choices, and difficulties with tracking buildings in larger cities.

I'd say it's around 6-7/10 right now. It's an ok game at the time of writing this. still feels like early access even though it's surprisingly not lol. My main issues: 1. UI seems nice at first but quickly becomes annoying. Main issues: a. I don't see some of the towers behind towers and can't seem to find an "inspect city" function. b. I still have no idea if I understand correctly what a street and a district is. c. When placing another "adjacency" building I can't inspect the already placed ones. 2. Whatever I do on the map doesn't really feel like a choice somehow. It's a cool idea overall but I feel like it needs some balancing. Like I'm able to get pretty much every chest and witch-hut while gathering a good amount of wood and picking up souls on the way. Kinda feels like it was designed to make you choose what to get and that would be interesting, instead right now it feels like I failed whenever I did not pick something up . Which kinda makes the whole thing linear and dull aside from lvl up rewards. 3. The "deposition" bonuses mechanics are very annoying and hard to play around. Sometimes I'll get random stones stuck on my ass when I'd rather deposit a ton of wood and make my towers shoot another time. It feels like an afterthought mechanic thats just there for the sake of it. 4. I might be mistaken but from the limited time I played: streets feel restrictive and at the same time not rewarding enough. Like if I find a forest building it'd be stupid to place it anywhere other than near another forest. Sometimes you find like 3x at the same time. It's a whole lot of place I need for some weird "wood deposition" bonus? I'm not even sure what it buffs lol because UI. And I don't really see many interesting synergies except for a few very on-the-nose ones. Like sure I want those forests when doing the fuel challange duh. Otherwise it's not very exciting to stack 4 blocks of trees and maybe get some more wood or something in a place where there could be giant fkn cannons you know. Idk, I'm no game designer but I did not feel the BIG impact and it didn't feel fun to get those utility buildings instead of guns. I see the effort put into it and it's a pretty creative idea so I don't really wanna downvote it, the game is fine right now, just not 10\10.

Занимательная игрушка. Можно выбрать разные стратегии. Интересные испытания. Надеюсь на дальнейшее развитие, добавление нового контента. <3

6/10: Fun general gameplay loop, but keeps rolling out the paid DLCs without QOL. If you hit the achievements for a new town hall or weapon or hero, you have to pay meta currency to unlock them. Meanwhile, you have the option to lock and unlock certain buildings in advance of a run... but no way to save loadouts. If you want to do a gold run vs. a minion run, it'll take a while in menus to make that more possible.

Feels repetative very quickly, started getting bored after my third of fourth run. It might be worth it on sale.
