Can't get past ground-zero (level 7) as Agent

[Fodder]

Well, I'm stumped. I've looked at online "walk-throughs" and youtube vids, but they are all playing another character besides the agent. As agent, both of my "high power" weapons are very slow-firing and VERY slow reloading. I simply cannot deal enough damage quickly enough to take out the crazy quanties of little bots swarming the ship on the first wave. The best I've done is to almost clear out the third wave (this is all in the first "round" of the level). I've tried every combination of structures and placements I can dream up, and it all comes down to me personally clearing the little bots away from the base of the ship before they do too much damage. I've reached the point where I can't even imagine how to do it.

And this is the first "round" of level 7! There are more to come! IF I could get past that first "round," the ship would be so drained of health that it would just fall over early in the second "round." So there has to be some way to clear out the first "round" without the ship taking much damage. Again, I can't even imagine it! And I'm playing on "normal." LOL

So, it appears that I've bought a game that I really like, but I'll only be able to play six levels of it. What they throw at you on level 7 is a HUGE step up in difficulty from the earlier levels.

Any suggestions?

I am stuck too but as spaceman

Glad to hear I'm not the only "incompetent." LOL Hopefully somebody can give some significant advice. I'd love to continue the game, but it's also a bit irritating when game designers put in these "firewall" levels that are a big leap up in difficulty and that basically keep many players from progressing onward. The game is supposed to be fun, not maddening, and that means that the difficulty needs to scale appropriately with the new items/perks you have available. If I want such a ridiculous challenge (after I've gotten through the game on "normal"), there's always "hard" and "insane."

IMO, it shouldn't be this hard on "normal." There's only been one other game in my long life that basically shut me down like this. But, yup, on this one, I'm apparently a true incompetent!

Oh yeah, its pretty damn annoying that I quitted the game, it happened to me too on Deathtrap, botomless pit tier 3, that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level made me quit the game

Someone´s help here? Feels alone this forum and someone needs help

Use the slowing device with the "greatly reduce speed" unlock and use snipers. Also use the death ray agants the flying suicide drones, line up 4 and shoot, it will go through all of them.

[Fodder]

Thank you for the reply! I'll give that a shot (pun intended).

I just beat it as level nine agent. I used snipers and the deathray as well. However I didn't use the slowing tower, I used the magnet one. I set up my snipers near the base and had one magnet on either side to suck up the little spider things. Near the end I actually set up four anti air cannons and could ignore the little fliers.

for death ray make sure to get the fire damamge effect so when u line shoot groups u brun them , so your 2nd shot kills them, and u could use freeze ray with the nade launcher having long freeze or the other one , just depends on

Cheat Engine -> find the starting monetary value for a map in wave-1 (search the starting cash amount -> set a tower -> find new value -> done) -> increase your cash count to x4 of what it was (*to simulate the way 4 players' cash should pool... if the game were balanced) -> play from there.

This game is unbalanced as fudge. Just read any given review -- negative or positive -- if you don't believe me. As such, it's really only a 4-player game. It can be played in single-player, but the said method is--as far as I can see--a necessity.

Games that are released and then summarily dumped support-wise, often suffer from similar problems... and when it comes to TD games, balance is as important as it is in the fight-game genre.

You dont need to cheat to play this game.

Two posts and four months before yours I stated how I soloed it. I've since beaten hard with every class.
