City Defense Z

Plays like a mobile game. But in a good way. No pay walls. Just play and earn rewards. The base building is satisfying enough. If you like balloon tds. Then you might like this game.

It's fine, shallow, and runs poorly. It plays like a mobile game advertisement. 2.5/10

So far im mildly unimpressed, early game is mid, maybe it gets better later, but the resource shortages are annoying, and the base building is a lame tetris-esque minigame i never found stimulating in all the other variants of it i've seen before. I'm still searching for the 'fun' part. Maybe it gets better in the mid to late game, i'll update if i ever get there. Runs fine, low spec game, should probably? work on a steam deck i presume.

Everything is left to chance. and most of the time ur luck is not good. And the only way you can upgrade is if you either finish the mission or you give up on it, only way of getting better troops during the mission is to merge them together, but even with the troops it's left to chance, and if you give up on it you don't very much "Lab" points.

Game is easy and repetitive. Its fun in the first hour then you do the same thing for hours and hours until the goal is done. Few units, few mechanics, few strategies.

Each mission takes hours upon hours, with no way to save in the middle so you can actually go about life. On top of that, every mission is pretty much identical. Just wave after wave, all the same. Rebuild the fence, place the troops, merge the troops, drag and drop the troops... for 4+ hours straight. I'm on the 4th mission which I believe requires you to get to 100 days. I'm at day 30 and it's been about 2 hours, this is ridiculous.
