Anyone like this game? I love Monsters but the visuals just look so drab in this offering.

It's got some cool things going for it. I played this longer then Savage Moon, but less time then Monsters.

Like Monsters, you have an avatar to move around. But unlike Monsters, you can fly, so there's no dealing with rivers or mountains or waiting for a monster to pass before you can move. Your ship can be shot at as if it were any sort of flying unit, so there's SOME amount of avoidance. Not too much though, since you can always just go back to home base for a health refill.

The real "feature" of the game is the army building though. Basically, you don't win after a set number of waves or a certain amount of time, you have to build an army to break through the other guy's defenses. It really is fun, and adds a cool element to the tower building since you need to leave space for unit builders.

The map design is pretty cool too. There are folks who like free form tower defense... ala Desktop Defense or Field Runners... and then there are folks who like pathed Tower Defense, ala Pixeljunk Monsters or Geo Defense. This one, while leaning a bit to the latter, is a great mix of the two allowing you enough space to build "mazes" and block off different paths. Plus the addition of gates allows you to build a maze, but not force your own units to have to go through it.


....sorry to go on for so long... but I think it's a worthwhile purchase. I'll give it a 8 out of 10.

I love this game... I think the addition of offense makes it better than PJM. I dl'd this game right when it came out and played it everyday until my exams started in May. If you like tower defense get this game, you won't be disappointed.

It doesn't look as good as PJM, but it's one of the best tower defense games I've ever played. It's a lot more flexible in terms of what you can build and where, everything is balanced, and attacking the enemy while defending yourself makes it quite a bit more exciting than PJM. Also, the multiplayer is excellent, but local only.

It's decent, but not worth 10 dollars.

Why isnt this a standard on all PSN games? Sony has a edge with this but nobody puts it in the games? LBP should be the main game with this patched in. To record levels before people play them to weed out the sorry levels.
