Bow & Crystal Tower Defense

"Bow & Crystal Tower Defense" is an apt and completely misleading title at the same time. Yes, it's about using a bow to defend a crystal but there are no towers involved. It's also extremely light on content as there's exactly one level with just a handful of different skeletons as enemies which all go down in one shot. But of course there's a reason for all of this: it's an asset flip. The "developer", for some reason also called "Bow & Crystal Tower Defense", took [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/archery-simple-demo-complete-game-template-184591]Archery Simple Demo[/url] by Easy Game Studio, added three achievements you'll get within one second of "gameplay" and pushed it onto Steam. Or maybe not? The achievements actually work - although looking at the code it's a wonder they do as I've rarely seen more messed-up achievement tracking code before. In fact, there's a lot of code in this game that doesn't look to be used - seems the "developer" actually wanted to work on this game but at some point gave up. Doesn't make the game better or less an asset flip, though, and since the actual gameplay loop isn't anything to write home about I'll give this on…

[h2]Verdict[/h2] 👎 Not recommended I turned it off after [b]0.1 hours[/b]. It felt like a trap purchase and I had zero motivation to keep going. [h2]Quick signals[/h2] 💸 Value: ✅ "IT'S A TRAP!" 🖥️ Requirements: ✅ Minimum 🎨 Graphics: ✅ Acceptable ⏱️ Length: ✅ 0–2 hours / 100+ hours (depends if you force it) 📖 Story: ✅ None 🎮 Difficulty: ✅ Impossible 🐛 Bugs: ✅ Game itself is one big BUG [h2]What killed it for me[/h2] [b]-[/b] It felt broken and unpolished almost immediately. [b]-[/b] The difficulty was not “challenging” — it was just [b]unfair/impossible[/b]. [b]-[/b] With no story hook and shaky execution, there was no reason to push through. [h2]Who should skip it[/h2] [b]-[/b] Anyone expecting a stable tower defense experience. [b]-[/b] Players who hate jank, bugs, or poorly balanced difficulty. [h2]Final note[/h2] Maybe it can be beaten with a lot of patience, but my first impression was bad enough to quit instantly — [b]not recommended[/b].

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Bow & Crystal Tower Defense is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Hede/Azerbaijan Technology/Top-Down Games (this Russian asset flipper/money launderer uses multiple accounts to decieve gamers and try to hide his identity), took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/archery-simple-demo-complete-game-template-184591]Archery Simple Demo - Complete Game Template[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Easy Game Studio, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. It gets worse... "Archery Simple Demo - Complete Game Template" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from Azerbaijan Technology/Top-Down Games: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1610140]Skeleton Wave[/url]", asset flipped by FunnyKids [/list] Take a look for yourself... these are all [i]exactly the same game![/i] Azerbaijan Technology/Hede/Top-Down Games has shown a repea…
