Assault on the Necrospire

Good game that needs extra thought on levels and enemies. Nevertheless, nice job!

⠀

"Assault on the Necrospire" is a badly made, contentless, pointless 2D top down brawler with "roguelike" dungeon bashes as the primary theme. There's a welcome set of upgrades that you won't be bothered earning because the combat is bland, and the endless procgen is repetitive to death after 5 minutes. This was a huge flop on Steam... to the point that the game itself isn't as interesting as the eye watering price the developer really thought people would give him for this garbage. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content!" and lazily tried…

Игра 'Assault on the Necrospire' – добротно сделанный tower defense, который радует своей ностальгической пиксельной графикой и динамичным геймплеем. Разнообразие врагов и башен позволяет экспериментировать со стратегиями, и каждая волна представляет собой ощутимый вызов. Система улучшений юнитов добавляет глубины, позволяя постепенно усиливать оборону и подстраиваться под нарастающую сложность. Однако, определённая однообразность в визуальном плане, за исключением самих юнитов и противников, немного утомляет. Порой, не хватает более подробного описания способностей башен и врагов, что вынуждает к экспериментам путём проб и ошибок. В целом, это увлекательный тайм-киллер, который отлично подойдет для любителей жанра, хотя и не предлагает чего-то принципиально нового. Твёрдая "четвёрка" из пяти!

This game is hot garbage. Everything feels sluggish and weak. Most of the upgrades make you worse, several of them make the game totally unplayable. If you like slowly sliding balls at an enemy for 12 minutes until his health bar hits zero, this is the game for you.

Competent clone of https://store.steampowered.com/app/113200/The_Binding_of_Isaac/ Easier and much higher resolution. I got as far as the third boss (not the third [b]room[/b]) on my first try. On a controller, you have to aim with the right stick AND then hold fire to fire. Just make the right stick do both jobs. The power-ups are mildly interesting. I can't really see anything to dislike here... I guess I'm just sick of fantasy dungeon setting.
