Riftwalker

[h1]First Impression (Early Access - [i]2019-03-30[/i]):[/h1] [b]Riftwalker[/b] is absolutely unique to other tower defences I've played. It combines the feel of historic torture dungeons with the futuristic element of firepower. I love how light reveals and damages certain enemies and how each tower/defence upgrade is critical in defeating each wave. It's not like a typical tower defence where you just spam a whole bunch of level one towers and clear many waves thus resource management is key for surviving! I love the soundtrack used in the background which blends in so well with the eerie setting and the overall theme of the game. Great concept and cannot wait to see the future additions to this game.

This is obviously a very early access version of the intended finished product. I would not give it a negative review, but it is not exactly a hearty recommendation. At this time you seem to be able to play 3 maps in an endless mode. - I got to level 40 before I lost interest, albeit not without an initial struggle in the early levels. I understand there is to be much more content and graded progress in the final version. It took me about an hour to come to grips with the various aspects of the game - at this stage, it is not the most user friendly game I have played. Once you sort out the details, it plays easy enough. A quick tutorial seems in order. I love the graphics, setting and music in the game. With a bit of work, this could become a gem.

Extremely unique TD game! Great concept and addictive gameplay. 100% recommend it to all gamers, especially if you're looking for a time killer! Huge props to the dev.

This Tower Defense game is still very early in development, but I can already see the potential and the basics of a TD game are all there. This TD game is unique for two reasons: 1) The setting, which is very dark (you actually fight against the darkness) with a mix of tech + magic. 2) The story: you have to find knowledge "pieces" inside the dungeon while defending your portal. Later you can upgrade your "skills" tree with what you found (note: this part is still in development) The dev is very responsive to feedback but the updates are not so regular (depends on dev personal stuff from what I gather), even though he surprised me releasing a patch with new content just ONE day after I gave him feedback! So all in all it's a thumbs up for me.

Looks good so far. I will update this review as I get more hours played and when more updates will come out.

One of the best Tower Defense games I have played in a long time, would recommend to anyone who enjoys strategy games. A nice fresh approach to the TD genre.

Great game!

OK, so it turns out my Win7 machine can't run this (I know, I'm behind, don't judge) but I got to play the game a bit at Comic-Con Africa and again at rAge, so I'm just going to put down here the suggestions I made then, plus some extras. As far as my review goes, this game is great so far – it’s been a long time since I’ve played an engaging tower defence, let alone one that looks so good. You had a functional build that didn’t seem to break at any point (always a good sign when your code decides to play nice while on display to the public). As it stands, my only real qualm is the tutorial – there isn’t one. You have floating paragraphs spread across your map, which can be a bit of a mission to read when playing for the first time, as most players will be trying to get a handle on the camera controls first, so maybe take those informative paragraphs and turn them into actual popups (making them a little easier to get to). Maybe have the player place down a few lamps and t...

This game has a lot of potential and cool ideas. I'm loving the darkness creeping in with hords of creatures from it. It gets difficult later on when better and stronger creatures runs towards your portal. I also like the random maps you never know whats going to spawn, if it will be in your favor or not. Overall enjoying the game already upgraded a tower. Just experiencing a little frame rate dropping passed the 10 wave on endless, but then I'll start over with a new map.

I'm loving the aesthetics so far. My only issue is that it's broken at this stage to the point where I can't play it. Tutorial mode doesn't work (The play button does nothing). Endless mode works, but the enemies are invisible and invulnerable, so I lose on the first wave Demo mode never spawns anything Will come back and give proper feedback once these things are fixed.
