Glingdom

Incredibly fun but brain wracking strategy game, with unlocks and an interesting progression system. Collecting new cards by doing challenges kept me interested for quite some time, and unlocking new starting decks felt like a small adventure. Overall fun game! Check it out if you've got the time!

Already was able unlock the hidden character! Guess you can say i am ready to DAWEniate my way to success. Definitely recommend the game to everyone of all ages if you're looking for a strategic game, that only gets more difficult the better you get.

I love the progression and unique game mechanics of Glingdom. Having to balance which units to place, which upgrades to buy makes you think about the long term effects of your decisions. Other variables that you can control such as placing units on the map based on random enemy positions leads to tiny strategies that you can develop which is really satisfying. Having tons of unique units and enemies had me entertained even after playing through the levels multiple times.

Glingdom is the epitome of "easy to learn, hard to master" and provides an almost endless amount of replayability. At a glance, it seems like a standard non-mazing tower defense. In other words, you place down your pieces and hope they survive against the oncoming enemy assault. The thing that differentiates Glingdom from other Tower Defenses, however, is the economy. You need to carefully plan how many towers you place since they won't be available again until after the particular "act's" boss is defeated. Of course, you can always buy new towers in between rounds, but the more you spend on towers, the less of a gold balance you carry which has a downstream effect of lower interest received. One other real positive for Glingdown is the speed at which rounds and runs take place. You can typically go through a single run in less than an hour, and the individual rounds typically take 10-30 seconds which makes it extremely great for playing while under time constraints. It's also completely functional on the steam deck as the touch pad works flawlessly for all aspects of the game.
