Is this the best Tower-Defence game ever made? Yes.

I'm not usually a 'bullet hell' or 'fighter' fan. I'm not particularly gifted in reflexes or quick thinking. It took me quite a long time to beat the first boss (mainly because I couldn't work out how to do a charged-slash... hold down the melee button guys), success on my 3rd go after working out actually how to do that. Shows this game is going to own me.

Now on the second boss, 4 or 5 goes in... too early to write a review of the whole game?... probably. But I really do learn stuff every time I fight 'her'... I can see Victory just out of reach... but I will achieve it. I get knocked down... but I get up again.

And that's the thing, it doesn't seem to be slamming my uncoordinated head against a brick-wall, with BS instant kill attacks because I'm not standing on the one safe pixel on the screen. Combat is 'so far' incrimental, considered, interesting and pretty much 'fair'. I will achieve Victory. But boy it's going to take me a while (need to get a bit better at blocking). Boss three, well that may be my end (but I'm reasonably confident that it won't be).

Totally love the sound track, and the game's weird and somewhat disturbing look. I'll probably go through the story mode after I beat this boss... to wet my appetite to continue. But then I'll be back.. to the real stuff after that. Very few games have 'taunted' me as successfully as this one has to have one more go. Very few games have got me jumping out of my chair 'fist pumping' as this one has on a glorious well earned victory.

I found the base price a bit high, to risk on a game I may not be able to play (and i ended up buying it at half-price). If you are even vaguely competant though... and don't mind learning from your own folly... get it, get it now. Sure some people will laugh at you for taking an hour and a half to take down the first boss... but truely who is greater? the person who can do it first time or the person who does it on the tenth? Be great!

This as the blurb is a rogue-like game. Pretty cool, mistakes are often fatal, with a steep learning curve. Haven't made it to the end yet but have throughly enjoyed it thus far. You need to like robots... and you need to like er 'killing' them. Humourous in my opinion too, a number of times i've been reading equipment flavour text and fallen off my chair with amusement, any game i would quote text from i think is pretty awesome. Anyways throughly recommended if you don't mind simple graphics and turn based action, and tweaking your layouts (oh so much tweaking). I give it 7 camels of awesomeness!
