What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players universally describe The Base as a bare-bones, overly simplistic tower defense game that feels more like an unfinished hobby project than a commercial product, with primitive graphics, dated audio, and AI enemies that don't pose real strategic challenges. While a few appreciate its basic concept and potential, most agree it's not worth the price tag and lacks the polish, features, and depth expected even for a budget title. The consensus is that free alternatives offer better experiences, though some hope future updates might improve the game.
The Base is a simple bit of Russian GameMaker Studio pixel shovelware dumped on Steam as a cash grab. It's not an asset flip, the game assets are too primitive for that, this is more of a homework project than a real game... which begs the question, why is this on Steam with a price tag attached to it? Obvious answer, Russian shovelware pusher wants some roubles. So, let's do as we must and evaluate this as if it was a serious attempt at making a game. It's a very simple tower defense game with a few base upgrades that you need to do to build more towers. The mobs are idiots and just rush the base (they don't attack towers) so you're free to do pretty much whatever you want. You can't place upgrades, but you get to place the towers so I guess that's "gameplay". This is really shallow as far as TD games go, and the technical execution is incredibly poor. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual qual…4 found this helpful
Going through my entire steam library and writing reviews This game is pretty bad honestly not something you should pay money for, you could probably find a free app with the same functions.3 found this helpful
At the time of writing this review, the game is in a bare-bones state and not fun at all. It is a very generic RTS with bland graphics and the music of a 90's DOS game. The resolution is a forced-fullscreen 4:3 at a fairly low resolution for that. For 99 cents, I suppose it is everything I paid for. Hopefully updates keep coming and the game gets better. If that happens, I may update this review. If you only have one dollar, I'd recommend even Dead Bits above this game.3 found this helpful
I think there should be a online mode and that u can choose where the base is. There should also be a sandbox and a mode that you can choose when to start the wave every single time. but otherwise ths game is great!
Great project! Keep working in this please, looks cool.(I can't pass the planet 1 is so hard xD)
