About Citadel Anew

The Loop

You try to establish a base on an island map. Enemies will attack in waves, attempting to destroy the Nexus. If they succeed, you lose. You must survive for a player defined number of waves.To achieve your goals, you can grow clones. They can help with tasks such as growing food, collecting resources, manufacturing weapons and ammo, and conducting research.However, clones are fragile, so you’ll need to construct defensive buildings like walls, turrets, and habitats to keep them safe.Additionally, you must ensure your base is powered, your turrets are loaded with ammo, and you have enough storage space.

The Twist

Seven metals (iron, copper, titanium, silver, tungsten, gold, and iridium) alter the properties of weapons, turrets, and other buildables crafted from them.Before starting a new game, you can enable unlockable handicaps. These make the game more challenging and give enemies certain advantages, but in return, you earn bonus experience.Experience can be spent to level up 32 unlockable skills, allowing you to sharpen and enhance your play style.Gameplay is also influenced by dynamic weather conditions, and each level is set on an island featuring a unique biome and diverse climate.

The Story

In the year 2052, humanity had it all. An advanced AI persona known as Minerva managed every aspect of human life, ensuring that every need was taken care of. But then, a group of fundamentalist terrorists sabotaged Minerva, turning the AI against humanity. As the world plunged into chaos, a group of top scientists introduced a counter AI persona named Maia to fight against Minerva. But despite their efforts, Minerva emerged victorious and proceeded to eradicate the human race. Yet, all was not lost. Maia managed to take over a cloning facility and tasked you, Commander Class Clone #3148, with the critical mission of establishing new human outposts in remote locations around the world.

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.

A tower defence game with a lot to do. Glitches here and there but it is to be expected. The gameplay, however, is fun; case in point: downloaded game around 18:30ish last night, next time I saw the clock it was 21:51. Those who like to build up there base will find something they like. Just make sure to let the devs know about what need polishing.

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 …

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.
