No matter how big my monitor is, I always have to scroll around the map. I'm on a 4k display, I can't imagine trying to play this on a normal 1080p setup. It's like the devs planned to have scrolling as a key gameplay mechanic. As-is, it's infuriating. Also, as a casual gamer, the difficulty (even on "Training" level) is far too hard. The grids for tower placement all seem to be designed to aggravate anyone with the slightest OCD. All in all, I gave it a good shot (including CheatEngine to work around the difficulty) and it's not enjoyable. I don't want something I have to dedicate my life to.

About This Game
Siege of Centauri puts you in command of the defense of Earth's first interstellar colony. Set in the Ashes of the Singularity universe, thousands of alien machines are attacking and only you, with your arsenal of deployable defense structures and strategic orbital abilities, can stop them.
Customize the Carpathia in order to best handle the challenges of each individual mission, battle across the surface of an alien world through a series of story-driven campaigns or see how long you can survive in a doomed region where the enemy waves are truly endless.
The enemy comes in all shapes and sizes, challenging you to counter them with the right defense in the right place. Siege of Centauri combines the best elements of classic tower defense games with the strategic depth Stardock has delivered in past titles, including Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and Ashes of the Singularity.
Features
- Defend the colony on Proxima Centauri from hordes of alien invaders in a vast campaign full of challenging missions. Deploy defenses, use powerful orbital abilities, and call units at the right time and place in order to survive the onslaught.
- Create your own missions using the workshop, then upload and share them with other players. Download new missions created by other users, too.
- Customize your defenses using dozens of tower upgrades. Determine what you need in order to survive. Upgrade your particle cannon to slow its target, your Artillery Post to leave fire in areas it has attacks, or your Corrosion Mortars so that victims infect the allies around them.
- Survive against unrelenting enemy waves in Endless Mode and see if you can outlast other players on the leaderboards.
- Fight against dozens of enemies with unique attacks and defenses. Beware the Falling Star that disables defenses when it explodes, or the Heart of the Phoenix that forms a chrysalis when destroyed that can be reborn as a new Heart.

User Reviews
Its a fun game if your into Tower Defense. I've read that some people have had issues playing it, but I haven't personally had any issues except that there are no scenarios (custom or otherwise) to download from the scenarios section within the game. Outside of that the TD nature is pretty fun using units out of their Ashes of the Singularity game. I would personally love to see more content for this game, but I can understand that its probably pretty niche or at least a smallish group of people relatively speaking that are into this type of game. I usually play on easy ;) but they do have a sliding scale of difficulty if you're into pain and suffering :)
