First Try on Selknam Defense! [b]Updates will be posted boldy in the respective part of the review[/b] The video can be found here: http://youtu.be/TqKjKjQaIOo I'll start off by saying that the tag "mobile port", would it be still available, would fit here quite nicely. At least this game feels like one. The options menu only consists of fullscreen(on/off) and sliders for sfx and music. After a quick tutorial, you'll be released into the wilds of this game. One thing that is quite nice in my opinion is that there are 3 different input devices available for you to navigate and put down units(controller, mouse and the keyboard). Speaking of the controller, one thing that is detrimental though is that you can't accellerate the the game with the controller alone. Especially considering that this game first went live on the LG smart TV, you might think that this game was built with you sitting on the couch and playing it with the controller in mind. Anyways, one thing I started to no...

Having healers that bug up and don't heal 90% of the time makes this unplayable.
Really fun game! its simple in mechanics but it happens to be quite a challenge! Recommended!
Fun little tower defense game. However, it is quite "child-like" and any adults looking for more than a "distraction" won't find much. It's an easy experience, fun and mind-numbing when you need it to be. It's definitely not something to get jazzed up about, but it's worth it for $5 or less.
There are 12 characters. Of the 12, only 3 can deal damage. The rest of the characters are specialized roles unable to deal damage. And all characters can be attacked, there's no hiding support characters off the main road to keep them out of harm's way. For example, within the cleric family, each character can cast only one type of buff (haste, heal, or strengthen) and cannot attack. Same with archers: the main archer can deal damage, but the slowing archer and poison archer can only add their effect. Since characters can only perform their one narrow role, buffs/support eat up more resources than they're worth. Each character can be upgraded twice and twice only. And upgrades are done between levels. So in the beginning of each level, the characters overwhelm each wave easily, but by the third or fourth wave (of five), tables are turned and its the level three heroes who are easily overpowered. For each role-character, there is an enemy counter. For example, within the warrior fam...
Not worth the sale price.
Great game, its very fun! Loved the drawings, its mechanics and the theme. well done!
Very uninspired TD game. You never really have enough gold to implement any kind of strategy that the variety of units could make.
Awful.
The game is OK at best, could be a lot better though. Pros: -Simple graphics, tutorial, and interface help beginner tower defense players learn quickly. -Fun, simple gameplay, with some strategic depth. -Great difficulty curve that forces change of strategy on later levels. -Many units are generally well-balanced and useful in their own way. -Decent value game if you spend $6 or less. -Family-friendly. Cons: -Low replay value; game is beatable in a few hours, nothing else really to do other than survival mode and minimal achievements. -Suicide bomber enemies are OP. I would understand if all units die from bombers in one hit except for tanks, but even low-level tank units get killed by them in one hit. Only max-upgraded tanks can survive one blast, but with almost no HP left. Enemy suicide bomber damage should be reduced a bit so that level 1, 2, and 3 tank units can take more than one bomber hit, but no more than two, before death. -Basic archer units should do a bit more damage....
