This is a game made by a friend of mine and it looks great for the first ever project on Steam. Although, there are some visual bugs with text, balance and turret issues, the game plays well. An hour long adventure, in and out. Wish QA was better, but overall the product is good. Recommend to buy and please support Georgii!4 found this helpful
This is a great game. This is a game where you can take a break and just build fort knox. I would like to see more of something similar and/or expansion to this in the future. Keep up the good work!3 found this helpful
Seems like more of a student project than anything; honestly very expensive at $5. I 100% it in 1.5 hours. Of the 50 stages, the first 10 or so were by far the most difficult. After that point, there's no new enemies, or other meaningful additional content, so it was just fast-forwarding through wave after wave.2 found this helpful
A very nice tower defense game, especially as a first released project :)2 found this helpful
Enjoyable game. The trick to win is not spending energy that you do not have to (think repairs) and having enough generators (five, minimum). Also, the pause button (spacebar) is your friend. The game needs volume sliders. The turrets can get a bit loud. I'd also recommend an even larger alien for the last night. Maybe something that is five columns wide (so it can be shot by all of your turrets).1 found this helpful
Echoes of Mars is a lane-based tower defence game, think Plants vs Zombies. The first few stages have an interesting mechanic where structures are damaged by time and need repair, even without alien inflicted damage. This gives the resource management decision of choosing between build more or maintain existing. After a few levels, you get access to newer structures that do not self-damage and the resource management comes a lot simpler. The aliens you face don't really offer much variation between days (waves / rounds / levels), and the tower placement doesn't matter that much. As long as you have 5 generators and a few lowers in each lane, you'll have more resource than you can spend and end up spectating more than playing. If the developer keeps working and changes up a few things, this could be a good casual tower defence game. It’s worth turning off the in-game sounds and music, and sticking an album or podcast on to keep you company through the 50 levels.
