Citadel Anew

Base building/turret defense game with level up skills between maps, research tech tree and mined resources; Make clones to help mine, farm, craft, and research. Waves of enemies come at unknown intervals that make the gameplay a scramble to fortify and research while adding a layer of strategy to initiate the waves of enemies while weather is in your favor or risk a random wave in the middle of a storm. I was excited about the concept when the demo became first available and have enjoyed seeing this game grow and develop to full release. Over time, this solo developer has made continual updates and improvements. There are some bugs, (I have not experienced most expressed in other reviews) but the developer has consistently been responsive and is quick to implement change. The game is reasonably priced for the content included and is fun.

Good bones and quite a bit of fun. The negative reviews are accurate, especially sora's, but I do find that for the price and what appears to be a solo dev's first go, it's actually quite good.

This game requires some serious polish and better effects for me to even continue to play it. I LOVE mining and turret defense (see my review of The Riftbreaker) but MAN! this game has some serious problems. I will caveat my review based on my limited play. I got in and immediately was not impressed. The UI is boring, the sounds are boring, and the animations are boring. This leads to a boring gameplay! I barely had a clue what I was supposed to do or how things worked and that is WITH the tutorial. I looked at my build and research options and there didnt really seem to be progression in the game either! Granted it was less than 10 bucks when I bought it but I didn't want to waste my TIME on this one when I have a backlog of much better games to play. I literally went to the store to see if this was an early access game after playing and it isn't. BECAUSE OF THAT, my review is decidedly harsh. If you were going to release a 1.0 game in this entertainment era, you need to make it better; have a fun character or animation style or enjoyable gameplay loop. I had fun run-jumping but it was inexplicably effective. I walked and ran like a human but I leapt like a gazelle! So while that …

definitely needs more work. conceptually fun though

Miss. It should be good. Wave based tower defense and building. But the building system is terrible. Can't zoom out to see what I am building. Things don't naturally click together. First person view, Trying to put up a single segment of a perimeter wall, next to an existing segment and I can't see what is happening in any meaningful way. Get good only means something if the basic system isn't garbage. No mans sky did everything this is trying to do better, when it launched and was rough. The shooting is fine. For 2006.
