What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
"Boxed Tower: Actual Tower Defense" is one of those "I can't believe it's not Adobe Flash" tier games (more suitable as a browser game than competing with Black Myth Wukong and Baldurs Gate 3 here on Steam). This is a kind of autobattler (with a bit of your own Angry Birds style slingshot flinging mechanism that seems more at home on mobile phones), and I guess the interesting part is there's a progression system not completely unlike Poncle's "Vampire Survivors", as you buy enhancements over time to help you fight the waves of miniamlist blobs and rectangles moving your way. The graphics were phoned in, to say the least, this is some really lazy tech implementation. This game features very lacklustre minimalist "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm sure the "developer" thought this would come across as "artistic", but it doesn't, it comes across as "really lazy" and looks bad as a result of their lack of interest in doing their job properly. Developers must try to understand that gaming is a visual medium, and gamers spend a lot of money on high end gaming rigs for a reason. And that reason is not so they can look at lazy, phoned-in half efforts…2 found this helpful
Good Game, Painful Game.1 found this helpful
pretty good game so far, but there isnt enough features and currently the game is way too hard. you need extreme precision just to hit a target and the arrows are so small that it makes it almost impossible to hit smaller targets, making it basically a game of luck unless you are really good at it. still, it could be fun if there were more features in the game edit: not even fun anymore its too hard to do anything1 found this helpful
funsies
a really fun game, awesome game loop and lots of fun to just play around trying to hit trickshots, although its a bit weird with casino music playing over it
absolutely. i love this game already
