Toon TD

"Toon TD" may look like a promising free tower defense game, but it's really a badly made (and possibly asset flipped) tower defense game. What do you do in the game? Put down towers and experience why properly polishing game balance is so important for any game. Here, while all the elements are there, nothing fits right, towers cost too much, income too little, some enemies are paper and others near-invulnerable... this is really unpleasant to play. If you look at games like Kingdom Rush, even though the mobile app 2D implementation is kinda weak, they nailed the balance and polish for the towers so everything feels really satisfying. Toon TD is the complete opposite of that. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being …

I must have a skill issue because the first level beat me harder than my Dad for the last hour.

I am going to try and format this nicely. All remarks are from what I found on the first level of the game. I was only able to beat the first level after 1.3 hours GAME BREAKING: If your frames are below 30fps (or maybe just 25/20) the projectiles have a 50% chance or higher to just miss their targets and instead "orbit" the targets. Which as the game is already far to difficult for a TD game, this bug makes it impossible. This also applies to the foes themselves, where they will spazz out randomly, but thats rarely enough to give you an advantage. Towers: Chaos - Great but the first level of it has such a limited range that there are only 2 places where a level 1 chaos tower can do anything. Though the chain attack does well for the first few levels before being meaningless once you have enough for a cannon. Poison - Good to have a tower or two that can keep targets poisoned, any more and its not good because poison (from I can tell) doesn't stack and its hit damage isn't great. Cannon - Seems to be the best tower along with the Big hit tower. It has good damage, range, APS and has AoE Flame/Holy - This is the big hitter and does quite nicely. Freeze - It feels like the slo…

tldr; Meeeeeh! If, as a TD veteran, after 45 minutes trying several different strategies, you can't even get past the very first level, to unlock the next one, than something is truely very unbalanced. Doesn't matter why, and anyway, others already said why, no need to repeat myself...

It was... interesting. It's like Bloons meets those weird YouTube ads. Lol. 5/10
