Haiku Review: Taking over Earth / Towers will stop the good guys / With a ship to boot
Favorite Thing: A fusion of two genres I don't like make for an enjoyable game!
Least Favorite Thing: There wasn't enough variation in the levels. Most of it felt the same just with different paths.

This game definitely needs more attention! It runs absolutely fantastic (GTX 1080, i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, nearly constant 400 fps!) and please mention that there is many $#!7 going on at the screen. Played it with my brother, we sat on the couch, craked some cold ones, ordered pizza and smoked hooka, while enjoying really great split screen couch coop awesomeness! It extremely challenges your skills, we tried the same mission over and over again, constantly loosing but never gave up and improved the maze with every try a little bit more until we finally did it! It was aMAZEing (innovative joke detected). The physics are stunning, you plant a bomb an just watch million particles flying around. I've got no negative points except the high difficulty in some levels and the short story mode, really hope for some add ons or DLC. Don't judge me, english is not my native language, before bragging about my bad english, just show me how good YOU are in speaking german.

I have to say, this Game is really fun. STORY Man plays as a nasty?! Alien Breed?! Who attacks humanity to exploit Resources. In Doing so, you control a Ship that can build Towers, switching back and forth between Ghost (Construction) mode and Combat Mode. The Goal is to protect the Core. GAMEPLAY Since you can define the Paths of the Enemy yourself, in which you place Walls in their actual Path, you can and must adjust your Strategy with each Wave. That Alone is huge Fun. In addition, there is the GREAT degree Of destruction of the Environment, which comes into Its own Very well thanks to a good physics engine. Tear down a Pair of walls of a high house or Bring an entire High-rise to fall close to reality. All of this looks good and affects the Course of the Game. Allerding Makes it possible to make a Dash through the Bill, when suddenly new Paths open up that are now blocked by Debris. All of this sounds complicated, but it is not. Upgrades are redistributable before each Mission, And so are technologies. So you can't "skillwork." Thanks for that, to the Developer. In this way, you can put together a completely new "Set" before the respective Mission. GRAFIK/PHYSIK The Graphics are quite good for a Tower Defense Action game. Also thanks to the nice Environmental Destruction and the many Debris of the Enemies, which you can collect with a Skill to build or improve more towers. GESAMTEINDRUCK I am so satisfied and can recommend the Game to anyone who likes Tower Defense and likes to play. STORY 8/10 GAMEPLAY 9/10 GRAFIK/PHYSIK 9/10 GESAMTEINDRUCK 9/10
