A solo-developed real-time-strategy orbital shooter with a strong strategic component in an electrifying virtual reality setting. Do you dare?
If you like tower defense games, you will probably like this one!
But it's not exactly a tower defense game!
It's combination of a tower defense, RTS and something called orbital shooter.
Tower defense?
You just build towers in the key places.
RTS?
Send your units to take over structures and defend them... Again, seems simple.
Orbital shooter?
Click on the map and you'll shoot there. It takes some time for projectiles to hit, so you need to aim keeping in mind movement speed and direction of the enemies.
When these three simple elements are put together, game becomes really interesting!
- In classic tower defense game:
You would build/upgrade towers and watch enemies getting killed by them.
- In this game:
You will be shooting enemies from orbit and praying to get enough resources to build tower before you will get overwhelmed. With tower placed, you can then get a more resources, because you can send your units to gather them.
Your units will move and you will try to keep enemies away from them. With air strikes. Don't hit your units! Meanwhile enemies will also move towards your base... Or bases in some maps. And control points. God help you if your control points gets re-corrupted by enemies! Then you will have less towers, with less towers enemies will overwhelm you, taking away your databases, your resources and finally... It will be the end!
There's also good guys moving with enemies, DO NOT SHOOT THEM! You will be like: Oh no, my control point is attacked by yellow triangles! NUKE EVERYTHI- Oh ♥♥♥♥, there's good guys! Need to switch to smaller gun.
While you will be slowly picking yellow triangles one by one with small gun, evil giant yellow triangle will approach your base...
But hopefully there's red power up near your base, so you will shoot it, it will explode and probably you'll prevail. Too bad you accidentally hit the good guys and they died anyway.
BUT WAIT! While you were fighting Bill Cipher, your database got re-corrupted and it no longer produces delicious blue squares. Which are, like, super important, because without them you can't build towers and launch air strikes.
And that's only if you aren't crippled by challenges! Sometimes you aren't allowed to use big guns, sometimes you need to not lose a single unit, sometimes...
