Tower Dominion

nice

I like the game, but the RNG is insane on harder difficulties. 7/10 times the placement of the terrain will screw you over, rerolling costs a currency you only get through certain buildings... That is also decided via RNG.

Had fun with this game for the first few hours as i learned how to play on the easier levels. Got really frustrated when i tried to beat the harder levels due to enemies, towers, perks, terrain all being tied to RNG and random enemy quantity spikes that you can't see coming and cannot prepare for. Here are a few scenarios that i have gone through, hope it helps someone get a better idea for what the game has in store: 1) Enemy selection is based on RNG and every few waves a new set of enemies is added to the waves. Get shielded enemies for my entire run. Spec my towers to take down shields, use all the best available tower locations to get the best shield break effect. On the last new enemy selection phase, game gives me camouflaged enemies that are invisible to all towers except for ones that have the specific skill needed to see the camo enemies. I did not select many towers that can see camo for my run as they were not needed and i opted for more useful towers to the enemies i was fighting. The tower selection RNG gives me very few towers that can see camo on the next few turns, I place down what i can. On the final wave, defend against all enemies except for the camo ones that make it through since I don't have enough damage for all of them and they take down my base ending my run in defeat. 2) Tower selection is also based on RNG and the game can just not give you any towers during the early phase or give you late game towers that you cannot afford. Either way, the enemy quantity increases while my ability to fight them off does not. During an endless mode run, I made it to wave 66 and the game just stopped giving me towers to place down during the RNG tower and perk selection phase, it just kept giving me perks while the enemy quantity kept increasing. No way to redo tower upgrades or reposition them for better effect/ lane coverage. Ended up losing the run since i had nothing to place down and got overrun. 3) Worst of all is that the game will spike the quantity of enemies being spawned at certain waves. This is the games way of increasing difficulty as the waves go on, but the quantity change is so dramatic that it will overrun you without any warning. One wave you are holding just fine, the next, you are losing the run because the increased enemy quantity flooded paths that were unused by previous enemy waves and thus were not well defended. During one of my runs, i ended up with 2 fronts, one that kept drowning in enemies and one that barely spawned any, like a 20 to 1 ratio. For the entire run, 3-4 towers comfortably held all enemies back on the easy front with the bad one was just barely hanging on. The signal the game is giving me is that one side needs more towers while the other one is fine as is and i do just that, i spend my resources on the bad side. The enemy quantity spike happens and the good side gets overrun out of no where and i lose the run. I don't think i should be planning my defense around my meta knowledge of how the game is going to spike the enemy quantity soon so I should add defenses on a side that doesn't need any, but on the enemy quantity and paths they take on previous waves. These scenarios happened multiple times across many runs. The economy being RNG as well meant that i didn't always have the money to bolster defenses on all sides. I am not an experienced TD player but I spent more time being frustrated at the game than enjoying it as i felt like i was losing due to reasons out of my control. I was doing great on my runs until the RNG decided I was going to lose :(

Whether you enjoy or despise this game is entirely dependent on RNG. As in, nearly everything is randomized (what resources you get, what buildings you can places, what path tiles you are given, etc), BUT, not in a way that is minimally balanced. You can die to flier swarms on round 3 without anything to avail you. Strong pass.

I usually hate Tower Defense games, but this one has a lot of layers and each run is different. I wished there was more than 3 biomes, but it is a very fair game with lots to unlock and strategies to explore.

I loved this game until a recent update, they said they were rebalancing but the game difficulty skyrocketed in a way that kills the fun. There's a good game here, I enjoyed my time, but it's just painfully difficult now so I'm gonna nope out. If you like extreme challenges this is for you, if you're looking for something more chill I'd steer clear.

Просто лучшее, что можно было придумать в жанре башенок. Сочетание выбранного класса с рандомом получаемых башен, доходов, усилений, территорий и врагов для бесконечной реиграбельности. Глубокая стратегия построения уровня, сопряженная постоянной борьбой логики намерений с логикой обстоятельств. Роскошный баланс сложности, когда постепенно или сразу, но начинаешь играть фронтир-19 и страдать, но азарт ощущения близкой победы побуждает пробовать снова и снова. Все это технически безупречно работает, имеет выдержанный стиль с подкупающим вниманием к мелочам и занятный саундтрек. Сюда бы еще кооп или даже компетитив, но нельзя же так сходу мегахит делать. Подождем развития, мотивируя разрабов заслуженным вниманием и к тому что есть.

Really fun tower defence game. Enough variety to make it interesting. Would definitely buy if more maps or factions became available
