X-Morph: Defense Complete Edition
Description
X-Morph: Defense Complete Edition includes the the following DLC's:
- X-Morph: Defense - European Assault
- X-Morph: Defense - Survival Of The Fittest
- X-Morph: Defense - Last Bastion
- X-Morph: Defense - Soundtrack
Unique fusion of a top down shooter and tower defense strategy. You are the X-Morph - an alien species that invades Earth to harvest its resources and terraform the surface. Strategize in the build mode by carefully selecting various types of alien towers or throw yourself right into heat of the battle. Build mazes for incoming enemies in an environment that provides exceptional planning freedom. Tear down buildings and collapse bridges to support your defense or to simply indulge in a spectacle of unprecedented destruction. Possess a range of unique alien weapons and use defense strategies like you've never seen before in this genre.
Your goal is to defend the X-Morph harvesters from waves of incoming human forces. Each enemy wave is preceded by a setup phase in which the player can check what types of enemies are going to be attacking him and to observe their paths. There is no time limit for this phase, so the player can carefully plan his defenses or choose to start fighting immediately and place towers when needed during the battle. One of the game's key features is the ability to build towers virtually anywhere on the map and to shape enemy paths by connecting towers with laser fences. The player can choose between building long mazes out of basic towers or placing more advanced towers which are more effective at different types of incoming enemies. Advanced tower types specialize in dealing with specific enemy types e.g. flame towers are great for destroying fast moving ground units, artillery towers are best at countering large groups of slow enemies, anti air laser is ideal for shooting down heavy bombers.
As the X-Morph fighter you can engage enemy units directly with a diverse arsenal of weapons. You can morph into four distinct forms which specialize in dealing with different kinds of threats. Each form has a basic attack and a special charged attack mode. The Plasma Fighter is the most universal form - good at destroying both air and ground units. The Dark Matter Bomber is great at decimating groups of ground units. It can also slow down time and release a dark matter bomb that can cut down buildings. The Shredder fighter is perfect for annihilating large numbers of human air units and clearing the sky. Finally the Laser Destroyer is best for smelting large single units. It can also charge up a gravitational anomaly that sucks in smaller enemy units. A large variety of weapons and enemies along with a dynamic, fully destructible environment provides a rich arcade shooter experience.
The game's environments are constructed with a lot of attention to detail and they are almost completely destructible. From small picket fences to huge skyscrapers. Any bridge or building in the game can be collapsed and it's destruction is dynamically simulated using realistic physics. The destruction is not only a visual effect as it can significantly influence the layout of the battlefield. The combination of dynamic environments, laser fences and real time calculated enemy paths creates unique gameplay scenarios.
Humans are desperate to defend their home world. They have created huge, building size, mechanical war machines to fight against each other, but now they will use them to destroy the X-Morph. Each boss fight is unique and heavily influences the gameplay environment. Entire cities will be destroyed.
X-Morph: Defence includes a split screen co-op mode. All missions have different gameplay scenarios designed specifically for co-op play. Enemies attack in larger numbers and from new directions making good cooperation essential to winning. In this mode the game can be played in many different ways, one player can focus on optimizing tower placement while the other shoots at enemies or they can both focus their firepower on the strongest attackers.
X-Morph: Defense - European Assault
This add-on includes a new story-driven mini-campaign happening on the European front. The action takes place parallel to the main story campaign. It focuses on European military forces trying to repel the X-Morph invasion. Wreak havoc across Finland and Holland before concluding in an epic, destruction-fuelled showdown at the Eiffel Tower in France. European defense forces use new experimental weapons that force the X-Morph to adapt and improvise new defense tactics.X-Morph: Defense - Survival Of The Fittest
This add-on includes a new Survival campaign with 5 maps specifically crafted for this adrenaline pumping game mode.BRITAIN - Fight an endless enemy assault in a rain soaked maze of cottages and canals.
FINLAND - Winter is already here, but it's not the cold that is your worst enemy.
SOUTH AFRICA - A dense night is waiting to be lit up by countless enemy explosions.
NETHERLANDS - Survive as long as you can in this seemingly idyllic landscape.
FRANCE - A city labyrinth that is about to become a graveyard full of metallic corpses.
X-Morph: Defense - Last Bastion
This add-on includes a new story-driven mini-campaign which takes the players to the most remote locations in the world, where the last humans have taken refuge. The events take place on 4 islands, each with unique features. Chop down massive baobab trees in the Madagascar, slalom among the Moai on Easter Island, reshape the environment in sunny Indonesia and try not to melt in rivers of lava on Iceland. 4 new enemy types round up the package, ensuring that the X-Morph: Defense storyline gets the finale it deserves.

9/10
X-Morph: Defense is a superb tower defense title with a twist. Those looking for solid action with a side of strong strategic elements will find a lot to love with EXOR Studios excellent take on the genre.

8/10
X-Morph: Defense successfully mashes up the shoot 'em up and tower defence genres which is no mean feat. and the co-op mode is a really great addition and helps alleviate the repetitive nature of the tasks. There is at least fifteen hours of gameplay on the easiest difficulty level and as you are ranked at the end of each battle there's a good reason to go back and try again. If you like tower defence and big explosions it's well worth a look, especially if you have a friend to join the battle.

8.5/10
X-Morph: Defense is what happens when you design and implement a modern arcade twin-stick shooter mixed with a tower defense from the ground up. The cheesy style of dialogue and story is mixed with a feeling of masterful power as you navigate a beautifully constructed game world. This is a highly recommended experience.

A Non-Optimized POS That Crashes Often
AVOID THIS INCOMPLETE PRODUCT. Too many crashes and runs the system hotter than coal. Try the demo first to make sure it does not crash with your system AND that it runs tolerably. It reeks of an untested product. Expect a game that is all the worst kinds of a lazy PC port. The game was clearly primarily made for other platforms (Switch, PS4, X1). You can tell this by how much it relies on pre-loading and loading screens. First time, it crashed in the menu loading screen. After that it kept crashing at the campaign loading screen. The errors were about D3D11 OGRE and device errors. The CPU and GPU are decent and I only have these problems with crappy "for modern systems" remakes and games made by junior developers' products. The FPS in the main menu was 1 to 2, i.e. total garbage, barely usable. If you cannot make a basic main menu that does not lag, F**K YOUR GAME. Lowering the details in the menus does nothing to the performance and you are not allowed to change the resolution i.e. the main performance factor. This resolution restriction and the lack of genuine LQ graphics options tend to be a growing trend. The crashing is clearly tied to flawed graphics programming, according to the error messages. Cannot give a favorable review the game refuses to let me play it. Letting people play the games they buy would help the sales and the refunds.

Others did it before; they did it better
It's not bad at all.... just that other people have done this same gameplay and usually did it better. This one is full of things to do constantly... meaning that if you like watching npcs fight each other, you CAN'T do that because you are always busy. If you like personal combat in a fighter, this has that, but again others have done it much better. If you like resource collection, this has that... but again others have done that better. As someone else said, it gets boring after a few missions... as well as the constant rush is NOT fun.

Philosophical objection
This game looks interesting. There are nice graphics, fine mechanics, it is tempting to my strategically tactical nature. I have played tower defense games before and liked them. Like this genre name suggests, those games are about defense. That is logically connected with defending own territory. However, I evaluate things from "complete" point of view, not as a sum of parts, but as a complex puzzle, where all pieces fit together, not just locally but also from bigger perspective, I can not get over concept of invading aliens defending against humans on Earth. It does not fit. Had it been aliens defending against humans on X-Morph planet or humans defending against aliens on Earth, I would gladly play this game. But aliens as attackers invading Earth and playing defense, that is not comprehensible to me. Despite this game is on free giveaway, I pass the offer, but thank you GOG for giving that offer.
