Towers of Altrac - Epic Defense Battles

I have played many Tower Defense games on all platforms (PS4, Android, PC, My Truck, AFG, etc) and I cannot reccomend this one. Scroll to bottom for quick summary. You start off with picking a character and a name (There are quite a few each, with unique looks). I do not know if there is anything more than looks to these characters as there are no descriptions. So I picked the one that looks cool, a dragon. From the main menu the GUI (user interface buttons) were quite huge taking up most the screen on my 46' 1920x1080 monitor. So I check the resolution and it was set to max. I then went to the graphic settings to see if I could scale down the GUI to make it smaller. There was no options, so I made sure the graphic options were maxed. Graphic Settings: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370076665 I then decided to start the game which gives you a couple different options. (Campaign, Single levels, Co-Op, Multiplayer) I started the Campaign, which gives you three ...

Let me start by saying i own most of the TD games ever released be it on pc or console. There are obviously good and bad - i wasnt impressed by the latest port of bloons td which has never been a personal favourite anyway even though it has a large following. Then you come to game like this where basically i played the first map and will probably delete it. Graphically its abysmal, not bad but abysmal, lacklustre colours and palette and awful towers etc, basically the towers look like a small weed / few twigs. enemies are the same ,small pixelated faceless things. The landscape is really badly portrayed terrible textures etc. Now we get to one of the worst areas of gameplay - controls . when placing a tower you are shown green areas on the map where you may place your towers you are not instructed how many you can fit into a green area so its trial and error which doesnt bode well with 500 enemies heading towards you. Moving the screen to place towers is also cumbersome WASD is u...

This warcraft 3 custom map . . . I mean tower defense game is what you would expect from new developers. Crappy music, crappy menus and crappy presentation. Spend 14 bucks feeding the homeless or buying this game? I think you know the answer.

Quite possibly the worst game I've ever had the opportunity to play. Don't waste your money.

Hesitant recommendation after a couple hours of playing this. Only for tower defense fans, and only if you can get it at a deep discount. It's very rough around the edges, and has an uninteresting boilerplate fantasy story. However, the tower defense gameplay itself is alright, and it seems to work reasonably well. Certainly, it's not the best TD game I've encountered, but I'm enjoying it enough that I want to keep going after getting a few levels under my belt.

Mostly negative reviews on this, decided to buy in on sale any ways... I think it's a potentially good game with a lot of room for improvements. The graphics are okay, the controls take a little getting used to but nothing horrible. Pros: + Decent graphics + Plain old tower defense without unnecessary bells and whistles + Lots of levels + Lots of towers to unlock Cons: - No keyboard shortcuts for building, upgrading; none that I was aware of any way - Poor sound; the music is repetitive and some sound effect are terribly annoying, e.g. dying goblins - Not a lot of explanation about the interface, level system, abilities, etc. - Not very well balanced; too easy to get loads of money - Towers are not very intelligent; they will sometimes ignore a flying boss if a walking boss is also in range but behind All in all, I think the game is not worth the full price (yet), however if you like tower defense games you will definitely enjoy it. The developers should focus on playability, clar...

You can shoot birds at goblins from a bird tower. Other than that, it's a generic tower plantation sim.

This review is of my opinion, I've only played TD games off of websites. This is my first one I've ever actually bought. It's slow to get started due to odd difficulty settings. The difference between easy and medium are slim to none, but once you get the ball rolling you get the hang of it. It's fun in my opinion. True, you only start out with 1 turret (basic) and 1 spell (frost, slow effect) but you unlock a new turret every map you beat. You can also upgrade the placed turret up to 6 levels significantly increasing their power. You unlock more spells when you level up your 'avatar/profile' by gaining experience after beating levels. There are 3 factions to choose from, which are pretty unique. One is an industrial-modern-ish style with guns and cannons. The second one is a nature style faction, druid like, using trees, poision and bees. (Also birds, the first turret with that faction literally shoots out a bird at the mobs.) The third faction is pretty much a Mage faction, Arcan...

So far seems like a good tower defense game, 15 dollar standard price tag is ridiculous but for 4 bucks it's a great deal. +lots of towers, +5 levels each tower, +lots of special abilities that you get by levelling up, +4 difficulties each map +Interesting creep ai system, they choose the easiest path +Obstacles that creeps have to overcome which, if they do, make the map harder for you +Clear description of tower stats as you're placing, and aoe circle +Challenging, makes you want to keep playing +Huge levels -No pause feature -Few placement zones, may be a balance feature but seems odd and doesn't really work -average at best graphics -Most of the gameplay elements are incredibly cryptic and take a lot of trial and error to figure out for example; the colors of the portals the creeps come out of indicate the type of creep; some upgraded towers get multiple guns, allowing them to split their dps when they see fit -No tower descriptions until you get into the game -No tower upgrades f...

I've had to change my review after the newest patch. They've really made the game much more enjoyable! Wierd shit about the game - The videotutorial must be the worst tutorial I've ever seen in a game so far, and I've been playing a ton of games. - The in-game music is so far off... Who chose this music to a TD-game??? It's NOT an adventure, it's a f*ck*ng kill and slaughter type of game... So why would you think I'd want to be hearing The Hobbit while I'm playing it?? - One can only place towers within the blue marked places on the ground... This is very uncreative... the developer could've at least made like e.g walls to indicate where towers can be put and not... - It is still a questionmark over where the next wave will spawn. There is little information about this. + You can press "V" two times to speed up the game x2 and x4! This is really REALLY nice! This also works while playing multiplayer-mode! Me and my friend played maps for hours yesterday and really enjoyed the game....
