BEACONFALL

For the price of basically free, it's a fun little tower defense game that doesn't overstay it's welcome. I've had a lot of fun getting slammed twice in the tutorial, because that was easily the hardest part of the game. Some might think that sounds sarcastic, but I genuinely enjoy games that force some respect out of the player early unlike the games with autowalk tutorials that cannot be taken seriously. It might be a bit overkill though. I've spent way too much time testing every single map and mode to the fullest so I have noticed some issues which do limit the enjoyment a bit: DEV/s if you do happen to read this, please consider tweaking these: -massive lag and time dilation when too many buildings or units are constructed eventually, in example the game runs at slide-show fps and in-game 30min turn into real life 2 hours, but that's when really pushing the limits... -no way to destroy buildings though, which means lag is here to stay, and misclicks are also eternal, which frankly sucks. that also limits chances of pushing defense lines forward or live with the dead space - there is a cool button to quickly arm all towers, but it's pointless when there isn't one to get un…

dev isn't motivated to fix anything. There's a bug regarding large resolutions. You can't click where you are pointing and the game is mostly click actions! You cannot manage things well due to this issue.

I'm a fan of roguelikes and tower defense games, so Beaconfall immediately caught my interest. Unfortunately, after playing for a while, I found the progression and upgrade system pretty boring and not very rewarding. Every building can only be upgraded once, and while you get to choose between upgrades, those choices don't really change how you play. Most runs end up feeling very similar, with the same buildings and very little real build variety. I was hoping for upgrades that would allow you to experiment with different strategies or significantly change how your defenses work. Usually, I enjoy filling an entire stream with a smaller game like this, but Beaconfall already started to feel repetitive after only about two hours. The core idea is interesting, but for a roguelike, I think it needs much more variety and more meaningful progression to keep me coming back for another run.

It's a great little game and neat mechanic and idea. Haven't played too much of it but will be spending some time with it. The only issue is that the food mechanic might be a bit overtuned, to the point I feel like I'm constantly starving.

It is not fun. Not for me.

The first five minutes of ech game, when your workers go into the dark forrest to harvest all these juicy resources feel amazig. But sadly the devs did not seem to know how to put an actually enjoyable gameplay on top of that feeling. After two games plus tutorial I feel like I have seen everything. After creating an op economy at minute 10, you mainly build the same unit builing over and over again. Units are clunky and boring, towers as well. All of that would be okish given the great atmosphere, but I do not see how any two rounds would feel much different from each other. So all in all, this game costing 5 bucks cannot compete to all the free demos out there, that have so much more content and replay value.
