Certainly one of the best Tower Defense titles I have played (and I have played most of them) - a really deep and enjoyable title. When you scratch the surface of a lot of titles, you find more surface - that is not the case here! There is a lot to think about and a good number of menu's to understand and navigate - Initially you will not be sure that you are making the right choices (but it is not fatal). Importantly, it has that "one more try" aspect. The Developer has shown themself to be very responsive to queries and updates. You need to be careful with the positioning of the drone when building some towers in tight situations as you can easily paint yourself in a corner. its a pity that more people do not seem to be playing the game.

Best Tower Defense I played in a long time!

Very good and in-depth tower defense. A bunch of Content and Progression which gives you so much to do that u won't get bored from it like with other Tower Defense Games. Also offers a nice place for different playstyles which I enjoy Edit: Yes. It is still an awesome game. Fucking download it!? Very good job!

Best challenging tower defense I played in a long time! I would say this game is easy to play and hard to master.

no time to explain. need to gather more gooooold. Indie pearl. got caught.

I've played a large number of tower defense games over the decades. Only a small handful of them have really stood out. Arrival of Beasts is one of them. This game is far from perfect, and you'll notice that right away. The English translation is a bit rough, there are some UI issues on the menu (can't cancel out of the local co-op screen for example), and the game gives you a lot of upgrade choices up front without it being clear which ones are worth taking (though the game does provide a few hints to help you get started). There's an insane mode that you can toggle when starting a map, and there's no tooltip that shows what it does (though I recall finding the info somewhere, it wasn't where I would have expected it to be). But beneath the rough edges of the game, I think the substance of it is solid. The game has a LOT of progression, and unlocking a new skill, map, or feature feels VERY rewarding, in ways that other games of the genre simply do not. In other tower defense games...

One of the best Games i've ever played the last few years. I was never a tower defense player but this game has that certain something. I can only recommend it but be careful, it is addictive.

okay, this is a great game, i must say. i have played lots of tower defense games, like defense grid, tower wars or dungeon warfare etc. and arrival of beasts could actually be one of the greatest, i think. different playstyles are possible and there is a lot of complexity (but not in an overwhelming way).

This is an odd game, visually and functionally. At first I was confounded by all that was going on, but after messing with the demo it turns out to be a very good tower defense game. You move a builder object around to build towers and this thing later can launch spells and heal towers locally. Once a tower or other building is made, you can update without visiting again. The levels [so far] do not take too long to complete.

This is that kind of game that has way more to offer than it seems on the first look. Definitly a "love letter" from a single Developer to the genre. It is a little bit confusing at first, as some mechanics are not very well explained. ( i have yet to figure out how those "slots" work :D ) But once you do figure it out, it offers quite some strategic depth. I would definitly recommend it on sale! For the full price it is a little bit to rough around some edges (a few typos and i guess some missing variables for some descriptions due to translation and so on, but nothing TOO serious) --> if you can live with that and like complex TDs with a lot of unlocks /metaprogression its still a recommendation even if its not on sale. I think the best explaination to the "feeling" of this game i can give is this : remember when you played Creeper World 1 the first time? Its kinda like that ^^
