Рунический бастион... Не люблю, когда кто-то употребляет слова, смысл которых не понимает. Никаким бастионом тут не пахнет в принципе. Как, собственно и рунами. Голое поле, несколько тропинок по которым идут враги, здоровенный дядька, которого почему-то нужно защищать, хотя на вид он самолично может сокрушить любую армию, и боец, который мечется туда-сюда под вашим руководством и тщетной пытается заткнуть собой дыры в обороне. Описания "башен", на основании которых вы могли бы решить какую лучше выставить на поле, нет. Вменяемого финансирования на оборону тоже нет. Монет на башни не хватает всегда. Это, конечно, можно было бы отнести к "уровню сложности игры", но по-моему это уровень бестолковости разраба, который не сумел создать в своей игре баланс. Это ладно, пол беды. Но сам жанр "башенная защита" не подразумевает, что вам придётся гонять своего персонажа по всему полю, что бы отбиться от волны врагов. К тому же персонаж этот откровенно слаб и толк от его присутствия на поле не сильно велик, особенно это заметно к концу сражения. Это должно быть медитативное расставление башен на пути орд, где нужно подумать где что и как расставить, а не нервный псевдошуттер. Не рекомендую.
Clunky mechanics, dull visuals, and unbalanced difficulty ruin the experience. Runebound Bastion feels unfinished and frustrating. Not worth your time or money.

Прикольная Tower Defense. Мне понравилась идея с переносными башенками-кристаллами и прокачка в стиле RPG, но раздражает, что прогресс не сохраняется. Если пропустите хоть одного врага или вышли из игры и вернулись, то придется начинать все с самого начала.
I recently tried Runebound Bastion and I must say that I was very impressed. As an avid gamer, I appreciate quality board games for their depth and atmosphere, and this game fully met my expectations. It perfectly combines strategic elements with an engaging storytelling, which keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire game. I especially liked the well-developed combat mechanics and the ability to develop your character, which adds a lot of variety to the game. The visual design is top-notch - the cards and components look beautiful and high-quality. The game is great for those who like to immerse themselves in a fantasy world, explore it, and make important decisions. Overall, Runebound Bastion is a great choice for adventure game lovers who are looking for something interesting and rich. I definitely recommend giving it a try!
Игра ну такое себе , пиксели сильно режут глаза . Мне лично не зашла , игра на любителя , каждому свое , а моя оценка 1/10 , надеюсь разрабы услышат и сделают лучше...
Tower defenses with roguelike mechanics or vice versa, but the second is more pronounced here. Cool toy, there are upgrades and tower transfers, as well as assistants. Pixel graphics and a low price, as well as not the most boring gameplay are the main advantages of the game.
Очень интересный проект, в жанре tower defence. Сложность средняя, а музыка ласкает уши. Подойдет всем любителям данного жанра)
I did a cycle of "2$ games with $40 price tags that were 95% off. this one was closest to getting a thumbs up. Some of the concepts here are interesting. A TD game with 4 unique towers, but you can move them around anywhere (they will even fire while you hold them). you have to balance micro-managing your turrets with collecting resources to upgrade your towers (and some utility upgrades) but on the third level I was most of the way through the level and I unlocked every power up. when I got enough resources for the next power-up it opened the power-up screen, but there was no way to to anything other than alt+f4 I strongly suspect this game is using fake/AI reviews to keep review score high
Runebound Bastion is an adventure game about to pass successfully all the waves to get crystals and upgrade them to get more power
The game is simply awesome! Each crystal can be upgraded to attack faster and deal more damage. Strong waves of enemies are not scary!
