About Defenders of Tetsoidea Academy

A virtual reality game in the sense that the reality is virtual, and the virtual is an RPG game about some teenagers in a "magic academy" setting. It's a game that I like, and it's free in terms of currency units. Close your eyes and let the experience envelop you! But open them occasionally too.

✦ AI summary

Defenders of Tetsoidea Academy is a short RPG with a tower defense and visual novel blend that offers decent strategic depth and customizable party options, but suffers from heavy reliance on default RPG Maker assets, an uninspired story, and severe balance issues including an extreme difficulty spike at the final boss with no way to grind beforehand. Players are divided on whether the experience justifies the purchase, with some finding it worthwhile despite its brevity and others warning that it is too short and poorly balanced to recommend.

Pretty much all the defaults from RPG maker, that I've seen in other RPGM games, were left in, from the sound effects to the character and enemy sprites to the tiles used in the academy, dungeons, final castle and other outdoor areas. The story is subpar and really, nothing special about it. Super easy until the very last boss, which was a crazy difficulty spike. Maybe I was under levelled, but barely beat it on my 3rd try, thing is, there is no way to go back out and grind, no enemies in the final area (even in the prison), for whatever reason. In all, retries of the last boss were probably about 1/3rd total play time. So game is also poorly balanced and overall, just not worth it.

Игра "Defenders of Tetsoidea Academy" - весьма занимательная смесь жанров Tower Defense и визуальной новеллы. Игроку предстоит защищать академию, используя милых, но смертоносных насекомых, обладающих уникальными способностями. Графика приятная, в аниме-стиле, а дизайн персонажей действительно запоминающийся. Геймплей довольно глубокий, предлагает множество стратегий и комбинаций юнитов. Каждая карта представляет собой уникальный вызов, требующий адаптации и продуманного планирования. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, достаточно интересен, чтобы мотивировать продолжать играть и узнавать больше о персонажах и мире. Единственное, что немного разочаровывает - это некоторая затянутость некоторых этапов и необходимость гриндить ресурсы для улучшения юнитов. В остальном, это отличная игра, которая понравится как фанатам Tower Defense, так и любителям визуальных новелл. Рекомендую к ознакомлению!

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
