Cluster - Roguelike Tower Defense

Can't quite believe I am among the first to review this game. Normally I am not too enthused with this type of Tower Defense (enemies attack from all angles). The game has two distinvt modes, one where the enemies attack and one with the cluster cards you set up your defences. I love the cluster cards which can really stretch your brain - fortunately there is no time limit as you will invariably experiment. The game is very professionally constructed - all the "bells and whistle"s are there. This game has a lot of grinding, particularly when you go to a higher level. In this instance it does not concern me at all as you will pick up upgrades to help you get through a furtherl wave. A terrific value for money game and one that keeops drawing me back.

Interesting tower defense. Roguelike, so you can upgrade your defenses even if you don't complete all stages. Progression is fair. Took me about 5 hours to upgrade enough to get out of the noob stage. I think the developer is making a mistake by not allowing the 2x speed button to work until you get to the normal mode. I enjoyed the noob mode, but now I'm on the normal mode and was expecting to cruise right by. Nope, I need to level up even more. The reason I played for the 5 hours or so was because I enjoyed the relaxing vibe this game offers. The sound effects could be tweaked for a more zen experience, but overall this TD is good, not great. I found it more interesting than anything else. Matching colors on the blocks was kind of relaxing as well. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/towerdefensegamesrated

Hidden gem of an incremental. Matching cells to get bonus stats becomes addicting especially when the board fills up.
