Road Stones

Road Stones is more Russian shovelware from the GMS crapware pushers and review manipulators at HugePixel. This console ported tower defense game features a number of potentially interesting mechanics, like you only get up to three towers and you have to move them around yourself, while at the same time running around the screen collecting sparks so you can do your upgrades. A novel concept but wasted on these shovelware pushers as they did nothing with it apart from churn out a game that rapidly becomes a tedious annoyance by the second level. No wonder they had to pay people to write positive reviews for it. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in l…

I want to be very clear that this negative review is more about my tastes than the game itself. I only tried two levels, and everything worked fine. The art style was quirky, cartoony and nice, and the music was pleasant background fare. The controls worked fine, and there was nothing wrong with it from a production perspective. I gave it a negative review because it was tedious, and very hard on my hands. The core is loosely tower defense like, but the gameplay is the character (a mage) running around trying to dodge monsters and collect sparks of energy to get upgrades. In addition the towers, of which I saw three, (though you start with only one) constantly need to be moved around the map, also by the mage, making him a very busy boy. The upgrades include two types of units that can defend you, but they don't help with the tower defense aspect things at all, only coming to life when the little graveyards spawn critters who move towards you and interfere with your constant dashing about. The upgrades also power up the towers, and improve the mage himself, so hard decisions must be made, as each upgrade requires more and more sparks to activate. To be fair, I can see how t…

A beautiful and cool tower defense game. In the game you have to defend against different units by buying towers, which you can move behind you. I also liked the graphics and the music. I advise to play and have fun.

I love tower defense games. Unfortunately this one didn't make the cut for me. I suppose some people will like it, but I think that the majority of tower defense aficionados will look elsewhere. Here is my take. First, it has keyboard controls, and not mouse or game controller. I just don'e like using the keyboard controls to play tower defense games. Second, it has a strange system for getting your hero to kill the invaders. There are no towers that you can build or upgrade. That wasn't fun either. I could go on, but suffice it to say, that it is not likely to entertain you if tower defense is what you are looking for.

Super simple straightforward game was crazy addictive! Increasing difficulty, however i completed final level twice and didnt get the final last achievement. Maybe something is broken! Recommend for someone looking for time to kill or to play something super casual! Devs fix that last achievement!
