Defendion

Perhaps it is simply too early in this games development but I do not recommend it right now. Pros: 1. Great idea, and I love tower defense games Cons: 1. Movement occasional breaks. The game uses teleport movement which is fine, but when it breaks, you have to "walk" by moving the thumbsticks. This walks you around like you'd expect on a flat screen game but makes me very sick in VR. 2. Buttons in-game don't simply press when you touch them. They flash on/off very rapidly until the game recognizes you are trying to press one. 3. Still rough around the edges: A building covers one of the tutorial buttons, LOTS of unused floor space in the main building (for expansion perhaps?), tutorials are simple diorama stands with a ghost hand mimicking what you should do (this just seems unfinished to me) The game is $10.99 at the time of review so it is not too expensive. At the same time, it is not listed as an EA game but feels very much like one. Wishlist it wait for further enhancements.

This a is great Table Top Tower Defense VR game...the best I have ever played! The Developers are very helpful as well, so we will look for more games from Dilly Frame in the future. I got hung up on 21 Wave, but the developers showed me the reason, and I was able to complete the game afterward. They still fix bugs in the game when you reveal them to the Developers. This game appears to be bug-free now, so it can be completed without issues. Also, there is a lot of depth to this game, and it is well worth the full asking price. You can expect several hours of enjoyment before actually completing the game. Replay is also fantastic, because you have several achievements that you can go back to unlock. Superb game, guys! Keep them coming.

Defendion takes the familiar foundations of tower defense and rebuilds them around virtual reality, presenting its battles as miniature three-dimensional environments that players can physically observe and manipulate. Developed and published by DillyFrame, it is a relatively compact strategy experience, but one with an interesting concept at its center. Rather than relying entirely on predetermined enemy routes, the game encourages players to shape those routes through careful tower placement, effectively turning battlefield construction into an important part of the strategy. The main objective is to defend a castle against successive waves of attackers. Defeated enemies provide gold, which can then be spent on additional towers, improvements, repairs, and other defensive necessities. Four different tower types are available, including options built around direct attacks and elemental effects such as fire and freezing. Individual towers can be upgraded or sold as circumstances change, while the castle itself can also be improved. The economy is straightforward enough to understand quickly, leaving most of the challenge to come from deciding where resources will have the greatest…

I'd like to list the good and bad but unfortunately there really isn't anything to list for the good. There seems to be some decent ideas about the game, and I'm sure I would've seen more had I played more however in its current state I just can't suggest playing long enough to find out. [Played on Valve Index] [b]Controls:[/b] The movement is awful, you move [i]painfully[/i] slow, making the long walk(s) in the title screen of the game on launch an absolute slog to walk past taking over a full minute just to walk what should be considered only a few steps. Further, turning is restricted to 90 degree segments, which if you're use to VR games is likely going to be incredibly frustrating as you reflexively attempt to turn with the joystick only to have your view snapped way too far to be practical, often disorienting me to an uncomfortable degree. [b]Gameplay:[/b] It's a basic tower defense game, pretty much exactly as it looks, however placing towers can be annoying as on some maps the tower just wont place even though the spot looks valid on the board-and there's no feedback as to the issue telling you that it is actually not a valid area. Enemies have no obvious indications rega…

Clunky, and unpleasant to navigate and play. Even the most basic item selection is a hassle.
