Игра MSI Electric City: Core Assault - неожиданно увлекательная и динамичная Tower Defense, где вместо привычных башен мы используем элементы компьютерного железа MSI для защиты ядра. Визуально игра привлекает ярким и стильным киберпанк-дизайном, а враги-вирусы, атакующие волнами, выглядят креативно и разнообразно. Геймплей достаточно прост в освоении, но предлагает интересные тактические решения. Нужно грамотно расставлять и улучшать "башни" (процессоры, видеокарты и т.д.), учитывая их характеристики и уязвимости врагов. Каждый элемент обладает уникальными способностями, и комбинация разных модулей позволяет создавать мощные оборонительные конфигурации. Игра бесплатна и, несмотря на минималистичный сюжет, затягивает своей динамикой и необходимостью быстро реагировать на меняющуюся ситуацию. Прекрасный способ скоротать время и проверить свои стратегические навыки. Единственный минус – иногда становится немного однообразной, но это компенсируется короткими игровыми сессиями и постоянным желанием улучшить свой рекорд. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра Tower Defense!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
