Gorgon Shield

Not recommended - beneath the appealing visuals the content is extremely underwhelming. The replay value is zero because it is not enough to entertain even the first time through. Also it resorts to cheap tricks to forcibly extend the game length. The gameplay format is simple: 60 or so levels. A glitchy dungeon crawler segment every 5th level. A boss battle every 10th level. Random event doors every 3 levels or so. The levels are 30 second waves where you essentially grind gold and try to stay alive as the game ramps up the enemy damage every 10 levels. You know, just like every cheap indie game that tries to force an end of the game with a damage wall to artificially extend the play time. All you do is spin the figurative wheel to select which one of your dudes is attacking the enemy waves. There are no significant class specialties because everyone is a melee on a melee platform and a ranged one on the ranged one. Your controls are: spin the positions clockwise, counter-clockwise, activating character-specific special moves and activating the shield special spinning lazor beam move. That is all. Essentially the game is about 20 minutes long, though the copious amounts of da…

1.7/10 itsss soooooo slllooowwwwww......zzzZZzzz..... - never at any point does the speed pick up. that is what ruins the game for me. - leveling up system only lets you choose 1 person to level up - upgrades are to frequent and slow the entire game down - crashed and lost my entire run. + game did let me keep the gold - heal floors that are just 30 seconds of nothing but healing, gold, and rebuilding shield. hot two of these in a row cause they can be random. zzzzzZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzz 1 full minute of wasted time. - weapon chest system. who gets to open the chest? pick 1 of your 4 people before know whats in it. everyone can only hold 1 of 3 types of items. if your person has a hat and its a hat one of those hats is getting tossed into a blender. cant give it to other team members. - cant swap team members around. once placed they stay where they are until death or replaced - can only activate the shield with keyboard - each person can get 1 of 2 abilities that are active and can only be used with keyboard.

A real-time action-strategy game that requires you to think about your strategy while your enemies are attacking you from 1 to 4 different directions. You can select up to 4 characters from a variety of different classes to fight in either melee or ranged positions, gather gold, heal, and/or repair your shield base platform. As your characters gain experience and level up you will be able to choose how to upgrade them: stats, special powers, new equipment, or you can choose to fully heal the character, fully repair the Shield, or just receive a gold payout. There are many special rooms to find during each climb, as well as powerful runes that can be earned after defeating a boss. And then, between battles, you will be able to spend your hard-won gold to construct buildings in town which each allows for different permanent meta-game unlocks and upgrades! This game is the real deal, a full-featured, mega-challenging masterpiece, and I am delighted to now own it! Happy tower-climbing, folks!!

A fun game to play like try one or two runs a day. A run lasted me about 15 minutes and the game has arcade like mechanics and each run is different. It's its own thing and I like that and should be very popular.

Fun Short Roguelike where you pretty much max out everything after a couple hours, wish it had more content because the gameplay loop is indeed quite good and isn't the hackneyed "you're a hero wandering around a [castle]/[wilderness] and you collect items until some absurd boss kills you in one hit, now do that 500 times" thing that every game does

Unique roguelike gameplay combined with an intermittent, nostalgic, Gauntlet-like mini game. I can't say I've played anything else like it! I had a lot of fun with this one and I recommend it. My only complaint is that I beat it too quickly due an overpowered ability that made me feel as if I were cheating. For the devs: In case you want to know the ability I'm referring to, it's !!SPOILER!! [spoiler] equipping four stun runes, then using your shield as often as possible. My enemies became completely disabled and I was able to fly through the game without being touched. [/spoiler] Thanks for this great lil' game!
