What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Build & Battle is an abandoned turn-based tower defense game with a solid core concept that lets players strategically build and upgrade towers while directing their fire at advancing enemies, but it suffers from placeholder pixel graphics and critical stability issues that cause crashes during early levels. While some players appreciate the strategic depth and smooth mechanics once you adapt to the controls, the game's incomplete development state and technical problems significantly hamper the experience.

3/10 An abandoned turn-based tower-defense game. Good: - the concept is actually great: you can build or upgrade several towers per turn, and enemy mobs move several tiles per turn along the winding path to your main building ("portal"). You can carefully directs shots of the turrets, see enemy hp, and plan - can select an enemy to quickly see which of your turrets will attack it next turn and if that's enough to kill it - can even select several turrets with a dragbox - different enemy types: some just run along the path, others stop to attack your turrets So-so: - graphics are pixelated and aren't nice at all, they look like placeholders Bad: - the game was abandoned in mid-development. It crash on me in level 4 where you get dinosaur-like cratures attacking your wall-towers in melee It's sad to see this project abandoned. I really like the basic idea of the game. It's still kind of playable until the first crash.

Not my type of game. Turn based tower defense. I played until it crashed, which was the second level.1 found this helpful
Build & Battle is a 2D retro pixel Tower Defense/Turn Based Builder hybrid that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. The game was possibly copied from a template called "Strategic Defense" which is the real name of the game exe, but I couldn't locate the template. Regardless, the majority of GameMaker Studio "games" that are launched on Steam are just copies of templates/tutorials with a few things changed around, and not genuine games. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. The premise is novel here as you've got a turn based building phase and then a tower defense phase where the enemies move a little and your towers shoot a little, then you go back to build mode and have unlimited time to play around with towers and buildings. But what's the point? Why not just add a pause mode so players can adjust the game as th…1 found this helpful
I love this game so much!! 8,7/10 This game is a underrated masterpiece wish more people need to try out and support!! Let me go though the pro's and con's: PRO's -Amazing Art style that kinda reminds me of Age of Empire's when it first came out (1999) -It's a traditional Tower Defence type game -The game mechanics are really smooth and easy if you can adapt to it..(more on that later) the game will let you learn on your own -No in game purchases -Super Fun and rewarding, you feel real the progress when you succeed in a level -It's a underrated Masterpiece -it's free -Just try it! CON's -The game preforms a bit slower when at the main menu (I think it's because of the mist in the background the developer should maybe check on that) -Can't move the camera with the mouse normally only the middle scroller by your mouse and arrow keys to move (also clicking on the map like Age of Empire's but..that's not effective, I am fine with the arrow key's but would prefer the mouse) -The lack of a tutorial or a guide given won't help with first impressions of the game overall -I must admit it the music get's little tiring after a while Other than than that the game is truly entertain…1 found this helpful
Игра "Build & Battle" – отличный способ познакомиться с TCG Pokemon или развлечься с друзьями. Формат быстрый и динамичный, идеально подходит для новичков. Раздача предсобранных наборов с уникальным набором карт позволяет сразу же окунуться в бой, не тратя время на составление собственной колоды. Элемент непредсказуемости добавляет азарта, ведь никогда не знаешь, какие карты получишь. Это заставляет думать стратегически и быстро адаптироваться к ситуации. Ограниченный набор карт также делает бои более сбалансированными, что особенно ценно для начинающих игроков. Однако, недостатком является зависимость от удачи при распределении карт. Иногда попадаются наборы, которые сложно реализовать. Тем не менее, общая концепция и доступность делают "Build & Battle" привлекательным выбором для тех, кто хочет весело и быстро поиграть в Pokemon TCG. Рекомендую!
