Defend humanity's last metropolis from mysterious alien machinations in this base-defending arcade shooter. Featuring rapid progression, randomly generated attack patterns and laser-sharp retro aesthetics.
An amazing modern take on a cross between something like Missile Command & Space Invaders. It's not easy, but it's 1,000% worth it. Infinitely replayable. The only reason you'd uninstall this is so you'd quit being distracted by it so you can play other games you own. It's super simple to play, super hard to be good (but seriously, practice and figuring...
Game is hard as balls but god damn its good, its also fairly simple and very easy to pick up but very tricky to master, a rather casual game on the surface but good lord does this game really bare its teeth as it goes on.
Perhaps my most favourite things about this game is how well it captures how hopeless the situation humanity is during the alien...
2 main issues~
- the wave balance and scaling (sometimes it's fine but... often times will feel unfair near wave 15~20 and up)
- for a 'rougelite' it need way more options and some upgrades are simply just not worth it. aside from you weapon... the runs feel very much the same.
I've seldom had such a love-hate relationship with a game before. It is terribly addictive and fun, yet also infuriating and RNG BS. If you like oldschool games like Missile Command, retro aestetics and vector-style graphics, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling a game several times in the same day, do give it a try!
