Destroy The Monoliths

This game brings roguelike to a genre of game (RTS/tower defense) that I can't think of any others offhand that do. The upgrades are interesting, graphical style nice, and overall gameplay loop enthralling. I lost track of time playing this gem and don't regret it. For the price tag, the content currently present within the game provides good replayability and potential. I highly recommend this title but the developer doesn't even need that. Go try the demo and find out for yourself. Very representative of the actual game and progress made in the demo carries over! Kudos to this developer and I hope to see more added to this title. Would be cool to see elevation/slopes, new styles of enemies/color patterns and player customization. Pros: Unique graphical/gameplay style Customizable difficulty Replayability from the upgrade paths, buildings, and starting power sets Good value for the price The developer is super responsive! Cons: One set of upgrades is generic i.e., +xxxx amount of ...

Worth it's price. Kind of Tower Assault rather than Tower Defense. No permanent upgrades between runs, just starting loadouts and challenge modifiers you can unlock. That said, there's a lot of customization within the run, with some fun modifiers to weapons and towers. Also some trap modifiers. That said, my old eyes could use a little more fidelity in the pixel graphics department, but honestly I just played 3 hours straight without a headache, so it's not that bad. Maybe if there were more blue maps and less pink? Sound wise it has a decent track, not Dave the Diver, but nothing bad either. 4/5 stars, I'd purchase it again knowing what i know now.

This one hurts. It's a neat concept, real-time tower defense/assault, but the clunky controls, UI, and scaling remove any sense of chill. It takes forever to mine, and you're [i]constantly[/i] required to balance between resource gathering and defense, which just slows everything down more. The multitude of enemy types means there's always going to be a hole in your defenses, so that creates frustration when you feel you've finally developed a kill zone. Pulling up the Build menu is a pain in the heat of combat, and the second you're overwhelmed, it's pretty much game over. Add in replaying a level also punishes you with penalties and it's a downward spiral. The biggest problem I had was the [i]finite[/i] resources per level, so as the enemies scale and begin destroying your walls and turrets, you permanently lose those resources. This could be mitigated if enemies dropped loot on kill instead of just healing orbs, but that wasn't the developer's intention. So it's just a const...

I played the demo and really enjoyed it and could continue into the full game which was nice. I'm someone who finds tower defense games to be kinda hit or miss most of the time, but really been liking my time in this one!

Great game for people who want to jump in for 15-45 minutes at a time.

I've not played anything quite like it despite playing a lot of tower defence games. It feels a bit like some lost quirky pc game from the 90's. The kind of thing you might have stubbled on the demo of on an 90's pc mags free cd and then wonder the rest of your life what on earth that quirky game was you once played. At it's best it offers a really interesting and unique gameplay experience (at least from the games I’ve experienced) where you build things to both attack the enemies structures and to defend your own. You take advantage of the environment in cool ways, lay traps and build walls. Different maps introduce new elements to try and keep it fresh and you unlock upgrades and new things to build. You have to build vulnerable structures near the enemy monoliths to attack them and you need to build defences around those structures so they aren’t destroyed. It automatically saves the game mid level when I quit which is good as I have limited free time. This does feel lik...

Enjoyable

Absolute hidden gem of a Tower Defense game!

Fun game!

really haven't played anything like it, also love the art style!
