Nexus Defenders

Fun stuff. Enjoyable, off-kilter dialog options. Works fine on Steam Deck with right trackpad as mouse.

I highly recommend watching the full review of this game at https://youtu.be/RKCxgsyIaZM It's a challenging tower defense game that requires strategic thinking. Although it's not story-rich, it has a visual novel component that adds to its charm, even though it serves almost no purpose in the game.

In a world full of TD games, adding a good story on the top makes this WAY more interesting than it would have been. I like the jokes, the story, the art, and the gameplay. The gameplay is not breaking new ground in the Tower Defense genre, but it does the TD things effectively. The enemy types are reasonably varied and I definitely underestimated the speedy ones. Absolutely worth the price and worth your time. https://youtu.be/EUfh3PkIgfs

I'm shocked that this doesn't have an early access tag. Just play defense grid the awakening its three times the TD this is

This game has some promise cool explosions, good looking environments, and immersive music. However: 1. Some of the enemy assets look and feel low quality especially the tanks. 2. The conversational cut scenes are text and static image based. They feel like they're out of a newgrounds flash game circa 2003. In 2024 I would have expected voice acting and basic animations at the least. 8/10

Total ♥♥♥♥ yeah for 5 bucks. Simple straightfoward TD. This one is among the few where participation is mandatory otherwise you'll just lose. If there was one thing I would have changed it would be a save option. I hate having to restart to keep the run flawless EDIT: ♥♥♥♥ really needs saves especially when you don't actually pick up where you last were at

Zelda, Mario bros, and Skyrim...these are some of the games that come to mind when I think of top of the line games growing up, well add Nexus Defenders to that list. This game is engaging and forces you to strategize on the fly if you are going to advance to the next level.
