About FrankenStorm TD: Prologue
What if all towers and enemies were initially the same, and you were presented with only one choice per wave? What if this choice affected not only towers, but your enemies too? The choices are randomly generated. Your decisions will control the progression of the game: fast but weak enemies, massive but resistant ones, ones with dodge, flying or otherwise - make your choice! How will you advance your towers to counter the enemies you build up? What combinations can you muster to progress deeper into the chaos?
Gather enough Salvage Points to salvage and make permanent some of your choices, leaving you more equipped up for future runs, and pushing you even deeper into the madness. Assemble insane synergies and see how glorious of a run can you achieve before the end inevitably reaches you. Can you earn a spot on the leaderboards?
A combination of two challenges gives this TD a fresh take on mazing for you to enjoy:
1. By default, walls (wires) and towers cannot be placed arbitrarily, but rather must all be connected to a power source
2. Randomised enemy waypoints (switches) let your mazes become labyrinths that can be re-entered if needed
Through your sheer genius, you've realised how to channel lightning to create life! But the foolish village-folk have caught wind of that, and for some reason are trying to violently put a halt to your experiment. Alas, violence shall be met with violence, as is another effective usage of lightning. Build storm-powered traps and collect doodads and contraptions to aid you in stopping those ignorant fools from toying with what they don't understand, and try to complete your experiment.

I like the idea of this game, but sadly, It seems that It's no longer in development as there hasn't been any updates in over 2 years.7 found this helpful
Not a bad tower defense, but if you've played any other game in the genre you have seen everything this game has to offer. It has limited enemy variety and does little to put its own spin on the genre beyond being able to easily rebuild your towers and maze, which in most other games isn't necessary and flows better. Most of the artifact additions cause hinderances that make the experience feel worse instead of better. Having come to the genre from Gemcraft, I felt like almost everything was under-utilized. There was potential here, but not realized. Not bad for a free game, but since the "full game" has been abandoned by the developers you might as well skip to a complete game like Polycore Defense which has the addition of some nice metagame upgrades across runs. This game advertised itself as a roguelite but hardly qualifies.1 found this helpful

I am really looking forward to the new version of this game.1 found this helpful
"FrankenStorm TD: Prologue" isn't a game, it's an advertisement for an unreleased mobile phone tier tower defense game with a gimmick. No, the gimmick isn't bad graphics. You have to juggle your tower layouts with an elecricity system and some other stuff.. I don't think it's caught on particularly well, and lack of interest in this advertisement may have discouraged the developers from actually finishing their game. Well, we'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, it's really not completely appropriate to discuss the game that this is advertising (especially because that product doesn't yet and may never exist), it's important for gamers to know that this is just an advertisement. And it's been around 3 years since they put this advertisement up, yet no sign of the actual product they're advertising. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you …
