2112TD: Tower Defense Survival

The game is OK, but could be so much better. It may be too balanced. What it really needs is more resources so a player can progress to the better weapons. It adds a lot more to the game if each level goes longer, so the player can actually enjoy working toward the upgrades. As it is now, it is very hard to make it through a level, and when the level is survived, it is over. Many—most—levels I never fully upgraded my weapons. The play-through requires multiple replays at lower difficulties to be able to have enough tickets to be able to buy better research. It’s a little bit boring having to replay levels too many times. A couple of times, sure, but not so many as this game needs. Also, there are not very many different weapons, and very few places to place the weapons. The weapon mounting places are pre-positioned. It would be more entertaining to be able to decide for myself where I want the weapons. All in all, it is a 3 out of 5.

Fantastic game. Would greatly appreciate more regular scenario updates; new maps and gameplay are too far and few between. One MAJOR issue that has never been addressed by the developers is the unfortunate positioning of the RESET button on the settings interface, which causes involuntary game resets… oftentimes I find myself deploying the drone for airstrikes and tapping feverishly on the phone screen to fire missiles… only for the game settings interface to pop up, causing my thumb to inadvertently hit the RESET option. I hope you will eventually address this incredibly frustrating problem. Otherwise, thank you for creating such an awesome game!!

Normal Mode was fun and rewarding to beat though short. Hard mode was very challenging and I was unable to find way to beat the last few levels. Cash is in such short supply that you never really get to build towers in most spots even in hard mode. Survival mode seems broken as the onslaught of enemy combos is immediate so that you never get enough cash to build more than a handful of towers. The onslaught also ramps up much too quickly so there is not enough time to earn the money needed to have sufficiently enough upgraded towers to survive more than a few waves. The waves are much stronger than “hard” mode which seems to be missing the point. Survival mode should be an opportunity to keep the game going after it would have ended in normal or hard mode so you can really see a lot of carnage on the screen. The secret to doing that is balancing the size of the waves with the money so it’s not too hard or too easy. At the moment, you have more ability to build and upgrade in hard mode because it’s survivable for more than 5-6 waves.
