Ambusher

Ambusher is a very mediocre TD distinguished by one feature (besides the really poor technical quality). Instead of placing towers/walls/spikes etc within your budget, you're given cards to choose from that determine what you can place. This is not a good idea, even if it was coupled with a great technical implementation. This is really unpolished and clunky to the point that it comes across as incomplete... for example the AI just swarms to the closest obstacle you set down... even the most basic of TD's has routing or something going, but here, the AI is as dumb as a box of hammers. So, despite not being in Steam Early Access (where this arguably belongs), the game is missing features and is apparently incomplete. Due to the lack of meaningful progress from the developer, it's unlikely the game will be completed at all, yet the developers reprehensively have their hand out for money for a game in such a poor state. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution o…

Ambusher is neither a tower defense game, nor a good one. It's just boring. Yes, you place towers and enemies run into them, but there is more to the tower-defense-genre than that. The game only features about 7 or so waves of the exact same enemies, which you can easily beat first/second try (and make it to the top of leaderboard, all hail me, leader of the leaderboard https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2106054098501447147/3B204BCE30C6F6CD37B6F0A246964736C1B15C30/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false) and then you are just left with the emptiness of having seen a few pixel run into your walls, one wave away from destroying your base, thinking to yourself that the end is nigh and that your victory screen is more delusional than Vladimir Putin. This game just asks you to randomly place turrets and walls so that the enemies run into them without any pathing. Go and play Thronefall, it's this game in good. This game is not a tower defense game. Nor is it great.

The quality of the game shows me that this is some sort of early alpha or prototype. - UI is big which is ridiculous - some text boxes are above others - rules are unclear - card system is strange - not even close to good game - not even close to satysfying tower defense To the dev: Go play Dungeon Warfare, Kingdom Rush or Warlords Under Siege to see how to make tower defense game and at what quality level is good to release full game.
