About Sentinel

Sentinel is an interactive audio tower defense game. It mixes strategic game play with a dynamic music system.

The game takes place on a sequencer-like grid. As you add defenses, collect resources and destroy enemies, musical elements are triggered in time to the music.

Fight through 31 levels to clear the virus from the system.

https://youtu.be/eRUJzGUCHEE Adding the 'audio' label to 'tower defense' doesn't appear to be meaningful as players will spend most of their focus fiddling with power settings on towers.

Игра "Sentinel" - это захватывающая головоломка с видом от первого лица, которая подкупает своей минималистичной, но атмосферной графикой и медитативным геймплеем. Игроку предстоит стратегически размещать турели, зеркала и другие устройства для защиты от наступающих Сентинелов, постепенно продвигаясь вверх по ландшафту. Что особенно затягивает, так это необходимость тщательно планировать каждый ход и использовать ресурсы с умом. Один неверный шаг может привести к поражению, заставляя переосмыслить стратегию. Игра требует не только логики, но и пространственного воображения, ведь ключевую роль играет позиционирование и использование ландшафта в своих целях. Хотя "Sentinel" может показаться простой на первый взгляд, она предлагает глубокий и сложный геймплей, который будет держать вас в напряжении на протяжении всего прохождения. Отсутствие экшена компенсируется ощущением тактического превосходства, когда, наконец, удается одолеть волну врагов. Это отличный выбор для тех, кто ищет неспешную, но увлекательную головоломку, требующую внимательности и стратегического мышления.

This game makes you think, it's a puzzle game in the guise of a tower defense game with funky visuals, it's more of a strategy game than most other tower defense games (micromanagement hell), and personally? I liked it a lot! I did not play hexcells, but I do know that it exists. I did not know that the guy who made that one also made this one, and I was aware of this games existance earlier than hexcells!
