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.

    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

    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

    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.
