i agree with all the superlatives already lavished upon this game by other reviewers. i would simply add that this is also the best tower defence game i ve ever played. if you enjoy preparing static defence lines against hordes of attackers while sitting back for 30 turns to see if your intricate mesh of criss-crossing arcs of fire etc can hold them at bay, then get this game!
i like the idea for this game but not the final result. the idea is that you transport cargo from one place to another but before each journey you load up your ship with rockets, shields etc to fend off whatever threats lie in wait along the way. problem is, this loading up occurrs during the journey which, coupled with the lack of a pause function, makes the whole process unnecessarily rushed. perhaps some players don t mind but personally i find it spoils what would otherwise be a good little game. for me, the perfect td style game (which this is) contrasts leisurely placement of assets with frantic action not just frantic action!
very nice little game...easy to learn, fun to play plus, don t forget, every time you hit the "breach" button and send your 4 man squad into action, you can simultaineously hit a number (1 to 4 corresponding with each squad member) and get a shoulder cam view.
