    The creators of Ancient Planet made a rookie mistake — when switching from micro transactions to a regular commercial model, they opted not to rebalance the difficulty. As a result, in order to upgrade towers and obtain better weapons, you need to farm insane amounts of gems by replaying the levels again and again.

    Bad tower defense game. It starts easy, but there is a point where the difficulty is just, ridiculous. You will need to go back to keepBad tower defense game. It starts easy, but there is a point where the difficulty is just, ridiculous. You will need to go back to keep grinding for gems to upgrade everything and even then, there will be a point where no matter what you do, stages are impossible to clear. There is no real strategy you can use (one of the main points of these games) to clear the stages, enemy waves spawn in no real pattern, basically randomly, and you cant even select what enemy class you want to prioritize, so for example, having 10 healers among a wave of 40 soldiers will make the game already impossible to beat. This is just an example. Too many flaws for a title that could be really good, but sadly its not, pretty the opposite.… Full Review »

    Is it a good tower defense game that is worth playing? There are many positives like the instant gameplay without long learning, system of upgrades, wide variety of defense structures and enemies, balanced economic model, optional level of difficulty, user friendly interface and controls and nice graphics. The downsides of the game are - non-existing story, system of luck affecting the game difficulty, inability to build structures while pausing the game, the absence of dubbing and the creeping stereotype as there are not so many inventive ideas. I can also recommend it for family playing as there are not any violent scenes and the game does not take itself seriously at all.

    Pros:
    - instant gameplay
    - upgrades
    - variety of defense structures
    - many types of enemies
    - economic model
    - optional difficulty
    - interface and controls
    - graphics

    Cons:
    - story
    - system of luck
    - sometimes too fast
    - no dubbing
    - creeping stereotype

    Ancient Planet Tower Defense is definitely not a bad game but it could be even better if authors did not rely on a system of luck and think up other mechanics that would make the game more variable and bring an element of surprise to it. I can say that despite its flaws I have enjoyed playing this game and I am therefore giving it Thumbs Up and VideoGaming Father’s Index 7 out of 10 - recommended.    … Full Review »
