Hold The Fort

It's hard to believe at first: But this is actually a great TD game!! The obvious two main issues when you play it for just a little bit are: 1) the screen which would move awkwardly when you use the mouse to move the edges, and 2) the slow pace of this game. Well, here are two big 'hacks' to fix those simple problems: 1) Use the ‘WASD’ keys to control the camera and 2) hit the fast-forward button to speed-up the game. Tada!! If you move past these early annoyances, you’ll discover a really well-made and well-balanced game. I particularly like the combination of towers with also lots of ‘arcane’ (i.e. magic) options. Almost giving it a feel of a good D&G game on top of it all. As such, managing your upgrades and ‘mana’ is a huge part of the strategy as well, as you won’t do it with just the towers alone! How many TD games offer you that much?! Now, ready for more? The setting options also allow you to let the enemies damage your towers (or not), depending on how much of a challenge you like. If you set it ‘on’ then forget about Tower ‘Defense’ . . .This becomes an all-out war, especially later in the game! Sure the camera movement problems do get in the way further down the mi…

[h1][b]Hold the thought[/b][/h1] A lacklustre Tower Defense game with too little challenge and too little variety. It's not a horrible game either. There are hardly any bugs, technically it runs well apart from some bad optimization problems on ultra. The UI feels very mobile-y. The spell tree adds a bit of depth to the gameplay, but the major problem is that this is basicially 32 times the same level. Nothing changes apart from the number of paths the enemies can take.

"Profile Features Limited" Why?!?

Nice game with potential, but I found some points to fix and improve: - when the mouse is on the menu, the keys for moving around the map stop working - towers priority cannot be set (last, first, armor, weak....) - you can't see the full health of enemies (for example 43/250 and I see only 43) - mines should be without time out (because you paid them for gold, without magic) - on some maps, when the towers are near the edge, you can't upgrade the tower (you can't see the button - out of screen)

Pretty shallow game. Worth buying on sale. Some bad controls, difficult to see which towers are upgraded, only a few techniques really work, and the graphics and music are meh. But, some interesting strategy. The mix of magic and towers is different. There is an attempt at a story. Tepid recommendation.

you have to manage your spells!! ive played about all of the TD games and this feels miles above most of them. check out their dungeons of edera game too. this is amazingly fun and challenging. just buy it.
