OH YEAH

super fun game, its BTD battles but with BTD6 stuff what did you expect? its still very rough around the edges but there is no doubt in my mind that all the issues will get fixed later on as well as a substantial amount of new content. i would like to list a few issues I've had while playing in hopes NK sees this but if you like strategy/competitive games this is a good pick.

1. I've had some mild issues with screen tearing, especially on menus, when playing. a v-sync mode would cool to see to counter this but that really just a nitpick.

2. Music is not present on certain screens which a find weird but more importantly there are no music options. the Jukebox in BTD6 is great and offers a wide variety on songs new and old and to see none of that in this game is a little disappointing.

3. last nitpick i have is some of the models (dart monkey) look a little weird but that neither here nor there.

BIG STUFF

1. This game is very slow. Games with very high skill imbalance will still last upward of 5 minutes because AI rounds are pretty long. If you didn't know this game's rounds are the even rounds from BTD6. Many of said rounds are particularly long and I don't think that is good for this game.

2. the tutorial in this game is complete ass. Its boring and only teaches through pop up dialog from Quincy, its bad for new players because it skims over most of the main mechanics of the bloons series (VERY namely bloon resistances of which it only mention purples), its bad for veterans because its super easy and you have to play it if you want to use Gwendolin, and somehow its bad for people new to just battles because it doesn't explain bloon send mechanics nearly as much as it should, especially eco.

3. the PC version is a port. Although PC is being considered a lot more than in the past with better hotkeys, its still lackluster. First off you cant edit the hotkeys in any way. Secondly, there are no options such as changing resolution or other features that would improve this version of the game. And the biggest offender, The menus suck. they are very clearly built for mobile and as such are very clunky and unintuitive on PC.

While I would recommend this game it still has a few issues that would turn many away as it is still in beta. First off, the U.I. layout, in my opinion, isn't great and I think the should shift around the different elements. the gunplay is good however getting a kill with anything other than the shotgun or BFB doesn't feel as great as in something like Titanfall, Team Fortress 2, or Doom. I think they should make the kill sound louder or make the ragdolls fly farther or something to remedy this problem but right now its just ok. the guns in the game are perfectly fine but feel a little uninspired, this is supposed to be halo with portals I want maximally zany guns not just AR, shotgun, sniper, ect. Lastly, this game is not intensive for most people however if you have a lower end PC like i do expect long loading times and large drops in framerate even if on the lowest setting. My PC can run more demanding games like Titanfall 2 on medium settings perfectly fine but this game runs too poorly for me to continue playing until these issues are addressed in the form of an optimization update.

TL;DR
Good game, needs work.

this is an incredible mod, especially since its made by one guy. But my brain is just too small for this.

I really like this game and I recommend it to anybody who likes the rougelike genre or a good challenge. However i will say that the first area of the game, the dwelling, is a little too hard for it being so early. Moles and lizards have 3 health and have invincibility while doing certain things. There are arrow traps out the wazoo making carrying a rock around more beneficial than a pet or key. I think if the dwelling got a slight nerf (nothing major, it shouldn't be easy) and some buffs to other areas like volcana this would be a 10/10 from me but for now its more like 8.

oh yeah

great game

great fighter that takes a lot of what Mahvel did right and makes it better, would recommend to anybody who likes versus or anime fighters
