Reverse Tower Defense Game Where YOU Send the Monsters!
Ойындар
Tower Escape Part 1 - this is the first TRUE reverse tower defense game I've ever seen. It's really creative and a lot of fun! My favorite part of PvP tower defense is rushing, so it's nice to have a game that's entirely that... though I also wish it were PvP.

Imagine this but with another player placing towers every round, that would be super chaotic and fun

There actually is a game where you just control a single bloon which you can upgrade in between rounds, so you start as a red bloon and can upgrade to MOAB class. Idr what it's called but Dangerously Funny made a video on that last week

The idea behind this game is really interesting. I love when people take a standard game formula (tower defense) and just flip it on its head. City building game? How about instead we make a city destruction game instead! It allows for such a different game, that still seems familiar.

@@parmflace that's true, I didn't even think of that one haha. That's another reason this works so well, because you can take many different aspects of a game and then change it up. For tower defense you could also make a game where you're one single character in a group of others and you manually control that one character, could even be an fps game or something. Like the Bloons fps game, you play as one of the monkeys in an fps environment. It's all really fresh but still built off of a proven game concept

@Gabriel Barros I think it's freaking amazing
from what i can tell, the key to success in this game is staging all your high hp units to come out first and sequentially relieve each other by incrementing speed as you go on. The goal is to have as many units as possible go through each tower at the same time, minimizing the time you're exposed to dps - having two distinct groups just doubles the total amount of damage you take you don't gain much by having your first unit have all the speed and hp because by the time he's blasted off through the level, bringing exactly one item with him, all your squishy units have to take the full impact because there's nobody to draw aggro not to backseat or anything but it seems like optimizing your stats to cause as much stacking of your units as possible is more important to maximizing survival numbers than just getting your unit numbers as high as possible, although that is also certainly necessary

Some "towers" do AoE damage, which punishes stacked groups.

Yeah true and also putting a unit that heavily specializes in being near other units in front of everything else definitely isn’t the play.

One advantage of being an Aliensrock subacriber is that Tyler always finds these cool ass games, so theres almost always a new thing to entertain your night
I really like the edits where they make it easier to see what Tyler is looking at
I've played a somewhat similar game (non roguelite) a couple of years ago and I found the concept to be very intriguing It always bummed me out that there are barely any other "tower attack" games, so I'm glad this game exists

Villainous! I'm 100% sure that's the game you played I have no proof, as there are a bunch of reverse-tower defense, but Villainous is the one that I enjoyed the most and immediately comes to mind
This looks like a really fun game and right up your alley, I’d love to see more of it. Also, it could be the fact that it’s 2 AM right now but Dan absolutely killed it on this video. Made me laugh out loud multiple times, and I’ve gotten to the point where not many videos can make me do that. Special shoutout to the witchcraft face cam bit, that one got me every time it happened

Ooh I was not expecting to see you play this! Been following this one for ages and it looks super good at release! Loving to recent content :)
Love different concept rouge likes, there super fun to watch and follow along with you strategizing, would love to see more of this :)
YOOO! Tower Escape!!! I took part in the jam when this was first made! I knew it had success, I was following its development since then, but I never expect Aliensrock to play it! I love it when small jam games manage to become this much of a success
as an aspiring game dev I love this concept and design here. Just imagining programming it, that must have been so much fun to figure out!
Really fun I would love to see more videos on this! I'm really interested to see what kinds of strategies and synergies there are
One minute in and I already want to play this
A really cool game! Would LOVE to see this game on the channel!
Loved this, hope to see more!
This game looks really fun! Great video as always (but oh gosh, you’re a floating witch!)
Edit: it was this game I saw back in April of 2022 and it's got a Steam release now!! I swear I've seen this before a couple years ago. Maybe I saw the alpha. But definitely saw almost exactly this where you sent an army of monsters to dodge the normal towers on a path. Or I dreamt this in a fever. But still fun style.
Absolutely love what the editors do. Being able to see the important upgrades is just so great. Makes it way easier to follow. Also love all the small funny edits every now and then!
Shroomy is precious this game looks really fun would love to see more also props to the editors! theyve really been doing great as of late
First Retromation, now you, I'm super excited for this game coming out
Definitely need more of this game. Build synergy seems like the way to play. You should do an undead run next.
This was a lot more entertaining than I originally thought it'd be
Yooooo it's this game. Istg Tyler is a psychic I find out about a game. And within a few days Tyler releases a video on it.
This game's really cool! Definitely would love to see more
would love to see you play some more of the real game, you really rock the synergies and would be fun to watch, cheers
I started watching you when you were uploading Bloons Tower Defense, so I think it is so fitting to come full circle and invade the towers with this game ~♡
I JUST RECENTLY THOUGHT OF THIS CONCEPT AND THEN THIS COMES UP :000
like the game, love the video. The editor really out did themselves with this one as well!
this game looks so much fun! The art style looks cool and the characters are cute. Whoever edited this video did an amazing job and I hope you had tons of fun playing this game! You explain shortly and understandingly, you’re also entertaining :)
This is a super cool concept! Hope you play more of this

Love the editing, and this game ! Would love to see more
Very fun to watch!
Yo editor if you see this good work on the small details like at 6:34 its a nice addition
You definitely found a gem of a game that twists the tower defense narrative where you see the game from the enemy's perspective. Entertaining playthrough to watch 👏
Enjoyed this quite a bit, would love to see more. Also, props to the editor, they usually do a good job but they did a great job this time.
we gotta get more of this game its so cool

This game seems sick. There was an old flash game called AntiTD that had a similar idea, but this is executed better tbh
It's sorta like I, Zombie from PvZ...
Love this kind of video
Damn this channel always shows me games I wish I had
I really like the small edits throughout the vid
great video really enjoyed it
Love the idea! Sorry for degrading the viewer retention, but I'll buy the game and play myself, seems very fun uwu. Thanks for showing it!
That remembered me of a game called Empire of sand, it was a kingdom rush like tower defense game where you went 1v1 against an opponent and could send troops which could also be upgraded in order to penetrate the opponents defense
This was great!
this game actually looks pretty good. would be better if there was multiplayer versus, like you mentioned, but I could still see a short series on this one
this is so cool. please do more
Loved this
I hope we can keep getting more of this game. Seems cool,
Yes! Please play more of this, very fun to watch. Also, give me aliensrock x shroomy love arc

Would love to see more of this Uno Reverse bloons game
Thanks for the video.
Fun game, would be interested to see different crazy builds
There was a flash game that I used to play called Villainous, which plays a lot like this but with an entirely different theme and they do the whole level design and upgrade system instead of being a rouge lite.
Loved this game
This is great
great video!
I wanna see more of this!
Just saw I wasn't subscribed, I just get the new videos in my recommendations so often I watch them the day they come out lol
Love this game fr
Definitely worth having a few more plays on this channel
My favorite reverse tower defense game is Necronator: Dead Wrong ... which adds deckbuilding and roguelite elements.
You would love to run it back, and we would love to watch it thanks Tyler!
So, this is like the second or third time where it's happened that you've done a video like...a day or two after I've picked up a game myself. It's very cool and hopefully means great minds think alike.
Woo back to back!
One of my favorite tower defense games is called comet crash
Loved the video. I think it'd be easier to follow if you used 2x speed instead of 3x. as it was I couldn't keep track of basically anything in the run. still a fun game that I hope to see more of!
Looks fun
Please play this game more and the steam version as well, its so fun.
One similar idea I've had is one where the enemies can counterattack your towers, so it's not just set it up and they'll always do something, the towers take damage and need to be repaired or replaced, you have to keep enemy ranges in mind when placing towers, you can have a literal glass cannon tower that's got a lot of power and range but low HP so keep it away from enemies.

Aliensrock - Have you ever played Villainous? It was a pretty popular flash game, back in the good old days. It was also a reverse tower defense game. And it was made by the same people that created Rogue Legacy.
