Early Access Review
A perfect, absolutely immaculate, simply magnificent and totally engaging Tower Defense Creation game!

That header - is my short review. If you'd like more, do read on, darling.

I do not often consider writing a review but this time I cannot stop my hands from pouring my mind all over this keyboard spitting out my experience through the time on this game for a nothing short of a striking positive review!

Let's start with this and I cannot emphasize this enough:

This is a Tower Defense genre game. Not everything is about Multiplayer.

If you are on a DEMO or even bought the game but haven't joined their official discord server - now, now, who is to blame for that? Join up, read the FAQ and you will know all that you possibly will need about multiplayer, co-op or any other question you might think nobody asked and then... ask it anyway, I suppose.

Their official response on Discord FAQ channel to that burning question is this:

Will there be Multiplayer? No, not in the traditional sense. But we do have Normnme, a Twitch-integrated system that adds chaos and interaction during gameplay.

I'm glad, we still get video games that are simply offline singleplayer, really really brings back some memories and as an old guy, I'm happy to have found it after a long day foraging at Steam's Library forest hoping something pops up that really keeps my interest and indulges me with my own ideas. And if you are... about... ideas - well, let me tell you - this game is just for you!

Plan, Farm, Build, Automate, Recruit, Defend & Enjoy the Progress!

One of the best games I've played to date. Quirky, cute art style which derived from, well, we all know what, obviously but with their unique and fabulous twist; Gameplay - totally addicting - one plans their build, takes command of the minions to farm and build, of course, there's a lot of rebuilding if you're into perfected Wonders for Castles like me and then having it all destroyed by the enemy force when defending it. But I'm sure, you're better than me - you'll perfect the defenses. A bit of strategy research is... required.

Physics have me in awe. Anything and everything can be destroyed and when it's destroyed, the debris can and will hurt you. Or your minions... Or even your defenses and then feelings. But worry not - after each wave completed you get to restore it back to its glory and think again on how to defend that pompous King!

Another cool part of the experience on this game is the fact of automation. Your minions automate all the harvesting for resources. I could only imagine what else the developers might bring into the game to automate even more processes.

Current content - Early Access worthy.

At first, it seems like a lot to find and learn and get by with. After about 20 hours, when one is stuck at some wave trying to build defenses - resources get super low, there's no way forward as everything defeats you - Stone is an issue. Yes, one can always start a wave and after it the Stone resource nodes regenerate but I rather save and reload as it's an option which gives a mediocre replenishment in resource to continue building out of stone.

One always has to wait on super slow minions to gather that said resource which takes hours upon hours, yes one can always build some roads dedicated to minions which buff them in speed but even then they're pretty slow, they wander off of the roads, sometimes do not even use them. As of right now, we know minions will not be limited to 5 of them, coming next patch, which also means - developers really listen to the feedback, suggestions and overall their experience. Soon, we'll finally be able to speed up the building/re-building process.

Currently, even if the minions were unlimited, the time spent gathering resources - wood, wheat, stone, iron - is still kind of wasted, because at some point, one only needs stone and iron - and it's limiting but what would make it better for the people like me who wait in game - do some house work - allow us to farm distinct vegetables, berries, fruit anything along those lines where that void of nothingness is filled with action still.

But it's worth my money and it's worth even more of my time because the potential is huge!

I know both my partner and I have submitted a big board of suggestions how to fill that void but regardless of it all - nothing and no one will be able to change my mind over how great this little but vast, funny but serious, expansive but linear, super light 2GB game, is.

It's simply marvellous. Pure Brilliance achieved by the developers and their team, for all we've experienced (my partner and I) in our very little time thus far (and I'm basically stuck on the first Island trying to build something spectacular.) I have what now, 27 hours? Trust me, if more content comes out to fill in the empty gaps of waiting - I'll end up with at least 1027 hours easily. And I do not see myself finishing my Castle build in the next 100 either! So it's a win-win!

Cheers & Best of Luck with Defense!

Never fails to disappoint but still will remain my favourite MMORPG
Never have I ever thought Black Desert Online will make to the top of my list when it comes to feeling like I'm able to do anything I want in the world. All the travelling and exploring, questing and life-skilling. From gathering, hunting, trading, bartering, cooking, alchemy, fishing or horse training - you'll find your niche and enjoy it! It feels like an experience from a world you wish you were born into as if it was a true medieval dream meeting fantasy at its most appreciated aspect - magic & exceptional skills! Plenty of classes to choose from and even though they are behind a gender and race lock - there's still a way to find what any new player would enjoy! PVP is a lot of fun! I hope you find your place in this vast world of so many possibilities! I've kind of grown tired of PVP and constant wars but I'm sure the experience is no match to no other mmo at the moment. Of course, how could I forget - it is filled with bloodthirsty good-for-nothing children who know nothing better but how to grief totally innocent players in the world. Swords come first rather than words - one gets ganked, killed, declared war upon because of the most childish reasons. But do not mind that - there are ways to avoid people like that! A good variety of guilds to choose from, they're strong, cool, role-playing, life-skilling and have loads of knowledgeable people to help you out! Quite some nice people to befriend and play with! Most use discord - just be engaging and friendly - you'll find your way about it.

So I was torn on how should I express myself about this game. Yet I suppose it's pretty simple:

I mostly had issues with the Controls as NARUTO games for whatever reason do not have a very welcoming Keyboard and Mouse integration. (I'd personally would love to have the whole keyboard's keys added into the selection for possible ways of adjusting the controls. (Samurai Warriors/Dynasty Warriors way.))

Apart from an awful first half an hour of just adjustments to the keybindings, I was able to learn my own setup and go through the Main story. Since I'm not new to these types of games, this was pretty fun and very rewarding, cinematics wise and such. Could add, that the Game does remind you of all key points of the anime and it was superb! Details and graphics are just gorgeous. Plenty of characters even though I'd love to see more!! Not just the main ninjas we are used to see. However, it is very fun and I'm looking forward to Online matches.

Loving this part and I only hope more people were as patient as I was (who aren't exactly fancying controller vibes on PC.)

Ayy, I most of the time read the comments of each and every game that catches my eyes before playing and even letting it influence my decision and well, I seldom leave comments either. BUT....

This is the game for those busy lifestyle having people, like me! I work from home and from the office and I can just leave my pc/laptop running this game for hours basically. If I wish to do it pro-actively - I can do that too!

Plenty of rewards, vast Jianghu exploration, beautiful looking Wuxia theme. If you want the hate of other people to ruin the experience for you - let it, yet I urge to try it out for yourself. I was looking something very Asian to play, something that would remind me of Age of Wushu/Wulin and here it is. I love it. It's sweet and graphics are incredibly good for a mobile game which has the best addition to it - PC version.

Give it a try! It certainly ain't that boring and even though jumping sometimes can be annoying as hell as it does not let you strife in the wished direction - it still is fun and enjoyable!

RS2 Vietnam was a gem in the chest full of s****y fps'. I thank the person for introducing me to Vietnam everytime I see him. Community is very diverse. It can get very racist and every kind of ist and phobe but ultimately, there are genuine people playing this that I enjoy their company int his so very realistic First Person Shooter. Of all the games that I have tried ever in my life, this is the true gem I've been waiting for! Thank you!

One of the best fast-pace teamplay objective-based realistic Team Fortress // Overwatch mash up I have ever played! It requires fast hand for aiming, quick mind to adapt to the surroundings and enemy teamwork. And most importantly it is FREE to PLAY. But if you feel like grinding is not your thing, you unleash your fat wallet for faster achievements and highscores. Recommending to play!

I do not usually pick to play a game like this, but I did. To actually try if it's worth my precious time that I don't have too much to share with my gaming life and you know what?! From the very moment I entered the Tutorial I liked it. Then after a couple of missions done I said to myself - this year I'm grinding this game. And hell yeah, I ain't going to turn on my word. Warframe is captivating. Even addictive! Most importantly - it's a FREE to PLAY massively played multiplayer game. Graphics are stunning. Mechanics are fascinating. Community, well people I was lucky enough to meet already making me say, is brilliant: friendly and supportive. I am in love with this game and I wish more people like me, wondered if it will be as good as they say become one of those who "say" it's a piece of the most tastiful cake. Recommending at least to try and hoping to meet you in Europe server!
Cheers lovers!
Peace.
