A relatively simple "aiming required" tower defense game with poppin' beats. While the strategic aspects and loadout selection can be critical, the game mostly comes down to accurately and efficiently destroying your enemies manually. The gameplay is basically "AC-130 simulator" with a digital hardware theme, and is absolutely worth the 2-3 USD the 1-man dev is asking for it.
<人工防御>一个在主板上突突突保护系统的游戏。
设定很新颖，虽然没有中文但勉强能玩懂。
进入战局后，会显示一块固定的主板，主板上有CPU、各种接口、外接USB口、数据库、光盘驱动器、电源、金手指等等···
武器有机枪、导弹、炸弹
建设选项有机枪炮塔、火焰喷射塔、内存生产设施。
开局就会有USB接口接入主板，然后会产生各种敌人小兵、大兵、Boss甚至是炸弹等等，也会出现医生。玩家的目的是消灭除了医生外的其他敌人。
可以通过武器攻击，也可以建设炮塔在必经之路上让炮塔自动攻击。炮塔的建设位置是固定的，但基本够用。
玩家还需要通过CPU输出小兵去把地图上的资源收集起来，并派小兵升级数据库，数据库一共3个等级，升到顶级后数据库会向光驱备份数据···
每个战局都有多个任务，但任务完成后···战局并没有自动结束或完成，而是给一个提示，玩家再去主菜单选择关机···关机后CPU主屏降低，最后蓝屏···
完成任务后对应的任务角标会变成金色的。
完成任务收集资源能对现有武器进行升级，升级后下次进入游戏就能使用更强力的武器炮塔咯。
前期武器很弱，后期武器就很强了，一颗炸弹简直跟核弹一样。
有些设定有点怪，比如
[list]
[*]任务完成后要玩家自己到菜单关闭，而不是完成提示后自动关闭···可能毕竟是人工防御，所以关机也要人工吧···如果从菜单退出，似乎系统会继续运行···无限期运行下去？？
[*]建设选项有个恶心的地方在于需要的资源数量没有直观显示···每次点都提示内存不够没法建···
[/list]
不过可能正因为这些个奇怪设定让游戏吸引人吧。
玩着还是很不错的，塔防类大多都很费时间，这游戏后面关卡的要求也比较恶心人···
i dont like this game

Try it out if you like orbital shooters and defense games. Not my thing.

Great game! 8.5/10. I think this game could do a little more to define what the towers do a little more but thats my only slight critique. The game progressed into more and more challenging levels and the progression system was great!
[b]Artificial Defense[/b] is an ambitious genre-mixing game, developped by a single person and defined as a Tower Defense/Orbital Shooter with RTS elements. So let's see how that goes in-game.
[b]Tower Defense :[/b] The aim of the game is to fend off waves of enemies until you achieve a set of objectives. And for that, you're going to need guns. [strike]And if that don't work... use more guns.[/strike] You have both a close range turret slot, and a long-range one, which makes strategic placement a key to success.
[b]Orbital Shooter :[/b] To catch up on enemies who slipped past your turrets, fend off the massive bosses and target other items of interest your turrets don't shoot, you will have 3 weapon slots at your disposal : a gun, a missile launcher and a nuke. Each more powerful than the previous, but also slower to reach the ground. Choose between fast single-target damage and powerful nuke depending on your needs and emergency.
[b]RTS :[/b] In addition to your two offensive turrets, you can also deploy a building that will harvest currency for you. Your orbital guns cost money to fire, and each turret deployed becomes increasingly more expensive. You must also manage other systems on the board with various effects and juggling between cooldowns and deciding when to spend money on what is a crucial aspect of the game.
[b]RPG (?) :[/b] Each level completed grants you points to spend on upgrading your defense system. Your guns and towers can be improved, your production tower enhanced, and your CPU core upgraded for extra HP and added functionalities. The game features 7 different board levels, each featuring 7 distinct missions with various completion criterias, and 3 difficulty levels increasing the number and speed of enemies, adding challenge and replayability to the game.
I have 13 hours on the game and I am somewhere between the levels 3 and 4, taking my time to complete the missions in Hard difficulty mode. With more complex and harder systems ahead, I believe I have only started scratching the surface of what this game has to offer.
The level rotation can be both confusing and sickening, but can be permanently turned off from the level options (I'm a little puzzled as why it's on in the first place, to be honest, but at least it can be disabled).
I still want to recommand this game to salute the work of a lone dev who decided to release his own take on the Tower Defense genre, and did a pretty good job at it. The game has a great visual design, guns all have different sounds, the gameplay is a smooth, perfectly bug-free experience in my entire playtime, and I'll sure keep playing it !
Basit ama TD oyunlarını sevenlerin hoşuna gidecektir. Dİğer TD oyunlarından biraz daha farklı. Denenebilir...
Un estilo tower deffense, que no me terminó de llamar la atención. Pero no es que sea malo tampoco.
Absolutely worth 3 bucks! Achievements keep this game alive and worthy to complete, especially since all the achievements are pretty doable once you figure out how to play the game.
The controls and the camera can make your head spin, but overall it is not too hard to get into the game. Consider the amount of time Mr. Bolder put into this game, and it's well worth the full price!
nice
So good for this price <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
Ich bin Streamer und habe meine Meinung wie folgt gebildet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jajsAzBUrvg
Alles in allem: GEILES SPIEL!
Zu Beginn war ich skeptisch wie RTS mit TD gemischt werden soll, aber es gibt tatsächlich eine krasse Mischung aus Strategie, Taktik und Ausführung.
Die Strategie ist die Auswahl der Türme und Waffen, die Taktik die Platzierung der Türme und die Ausführung ist der Einsatz der Waffen. Jeder Part wird durch die schönen Quests beeinflusst. Die Gegner sind verständlich und üben die Richtige menge an Druck und Gefahr aus.
Das Spiel ist natürlich nicht Fehlerlos, meiner Meinung nach machen diese Fehler aber nicht viel aus.
Bugs oder Glichtes sind nur selten vorhanden.
Zu den Fehlern gehört, meiner Meinung nach, dass die Kleinreichweitentürme eigentlich nur Müll sind und, dass die Türme zu schnell zu teuer werden. Beides lässt sich aber durch Planung minimieren.
Ob reduziert oder nicht, das Spiel lohnt auf jeden Fall!
Spent a few minutes figuring out the controls, took me a minute or so to stop the rotation from getting me dizzy, but then it got locked in an angle that I could not work with.
The aiming is also one of the most counter-intuitive things I've ever used. The corsair is in the middle of your screen, then you shoot with the mouse that has it's own cursor, so you pretty much have 2 of them with the logical one being the one that does not matter.
Looks like a game I'd like, but my I'm still trying not to fall off my chair. My head is still spinning.
Upgrades are just road blocks that you grind to earn. They dont give options, just bigger numbers
Towers dont upgrade in game and dont generate currency through kills.
Control system is reversed for some reason as default and is just plain wonky.
Tutorial is pure condescension, hand holding through each step while not actually explaining anything.
You are PUNISHED FOR KILLING THINGS. I dont know why the dev thought an enemy, which can overlap with bosses and that harms you when you actually kill it, was a good idea.
Far too much clutter on screen along with 3 different systems fighting for control. You have to put down towers, shoot things yourself (which spends your currency) and arrange assaults on points. Its simply far too much, it doesnt feel complex , just dull.
Best thing i can say about the game is that I got it for 41p
Too hard
Неплохая поигрушка, когда нечем занять время.
I tried the tutorial. I failed.
The game is pretty but i cant help but feel like i'm playing a carnival game, the shady kind.
Cool mix of simple genres that work together well, and is a fun game to play, and challenging, with a nice upgrade path. Love the music and graphics. A game in my library I keep coming back to.
What a wondeful mix if genres!
Artificial Defense ist ein TD Spiel, was sich jeder TD Fan aufjedenfall holen muss.
Dieses Spiel wurde nur von einem einzigen hergestellt,und die Idee dahinter ist auch ziemlich Sympel.
Aber dieses Spiel hat mich einfach überzeugt, es ist ein Pocket Game, du kannst es immer zocken wenn dir deine anderen Spiele Langweilig wurden.
Und für so einen Preis,kann man nichts falsch machen
Aufjedenfall Preiswert.
This ame has great a sound-track, fun gameplay and is well-priced play it also one person made this... HOW!!?!??!?!??!
Tower-defence c элементами шутера в минималистической стилистике. Вы защищаете ядро системы от атак вирусов используя 2 типа турелей, генератор ресурсов, особенности карты (можно захватывать "строения"), огнестрельное, ракетное и бомбовое оружие. Есть система агрейдов (за очки после миссии), простенький графон (но симпатичный), ачивки (достаточно сложные - нужно пройти все задания в миссиях). Игру сдeлал один человек на юнити. Great job, Dude! Скрасит пару вечеров с легкостью, да и приятно удивить может. Если любите челенджи и TD, рекомендую попробовать Оценка 8/10(с учетом инди и жанра)
평범한 DF게임인데 재미는 그닥
This is not a fun game.
It's not a Tower Defense game and It's not an RTS.
You can place one or two towers at best during one round of gameplay and then you're left with shooting things with your cursor. Except there's enemies you are not allowed to destroy and they're in the middle of a group of ones you're supposed to, making even this part of the gameplay un-fun.
Money is super tight and win conditions usually involve collecting a certain amount of it, things get ridicilously expensive after one or two purchases so you can't even spend your money or you'll just wait longer to win.
You can get "towers" that send out little helpers to collect money, except these can be destroyed/"captured" by the enemy and now you've just wasted 50% of your money to build it for nothing.
Such a funny tower defence , Artificial Defense make you a good time.
This game would have been an amazing Tower Defense game, too bad it is not. Instead its bit of a confusing mess to me that makes my head hurt.
設計還不錯，就是很容易無聊的感覺
不会玩。。而其也不太感兴趣塔防类的。。天知道我当时为啥会剁手
I like to support small developers. Almost all the games I buy on Steam are from indie developers and I don't expect anything close to AAA features. But I do expect enjoyable and interesting gameplay.
First impressions of Artificial Defense are really poor, not at all what I was expecting. The interface is confusing, even the tutorial took a while to figure out.
This is not really a TD game. If you are looking for an action game with very poor graphics and poor controls with only a few TD elements then this may be the game for you.
---
A nice mix of genres.
Artificical Defense is not just an ordinary TD game, because you spend only ~15% of total gaming time on postioning and upgrading towers. The game contains some RTS elements. You can place "mines" and increase you "gold" income defending "harvesters".
You will spend the most of gaming time on aiming the enemies from the orbital. It' really cool. You have 3 different weapons: cannon (a couple of fast but weak shots with small area of effect), rocket launcher (average damage and average area) and bomb (one slow shot with huge damage and area). Every shot cost "gold". So you can't just shoot, because you will out of money soon. You must aim carefully. Every shot has delay before impact. If you kill some neutral enemies this will have bad consequences.
I found this part of the game the most interesting.
You have a main objective and 2 bonus objectives for every mission. If you complete them you get "RAM" in-game value. You can spend it on various upgrades for weapons and towers beetwen missions.
I like the game setting. You are defensive program which proctects the computer. Actually, i can't undestand why the programm use Rockets and Bomb inside PC. It's nonsense. I would replace them with Anti-virus, Firewall, etc. It would perfectly fit.
Anyway, i like how the game looks. UI design is undestanding. Effects are at the proper level.
What i didn't like.
- The first tutoring mission made me angry. You have to make exact actions but sometimes you don't undestand what you need to do. I wish developer improves it.
- There is the same map for several campaign missions. Yeah, every mission has diffrenet objectives and enemies' waves every time . But i would like to see more maps in the game.
- Music is good. But there is only 1 track for 1 chapter. It gets annoying very soon.
- I would like to see more diversity in towers and enemies.
Game is good (especially for one man made). Game is cheap.
If you see this game on a sale , I recommend you to buy it. You will like it.
This is definitely a labor of love, with the upsides and downsides that go along with it. As is made very clear (perhaps too many times) it's developed by one person, and parts of the game do feel like "it's my game so I can do what I want with it". Call it a hunch.
Some of those things being that I have to -earn- basic functionality like speeding up the game and zooming into the battlefield via certain upgrades to my "hard drive". It sounds cute, but... seriously? The introduction was very shaky and almost off-putting, with it just giving you lines and lines of text, complex UI and hotkeys, and indicators to click this-now do that-now click here, and go through the motions just so you've done them, like a cheap mobile app. Something like slowly introducing mechanics bit by bit in the first moments of a level would fit this much better, not literal youtube videos comprised of (assumedly) the developer playing and commentating the intros. Which, by the way, you can speed up and zoom in in the tutorial, then it's taken away for reasons.
It took what felt like 30-45 minutes to really adapt to the game and its interface and understanding all of the mechanics, which in reality are really simple, but they're explained so abruptly it's hard to take it all in. When I finally felt comfortable actually playing the damn thing, soon enough it already felt kind of shallow, slow, and babying, with these extremely simple first levels, and the notion that the entire rest of the game isn't going to get much more intricate. Another hunch is that he thought the UI and controls were so alien that he wanted the most absolute tender beginning to not scare people away.
So, a quick recap - the introduction and general pacing is a mess, the game feels shallow, and your linear upgrades are locked behind exponentially more expensive upgrades which just take playtime. Thing is, there's upsides to the "labor of love"-ness.
Once you sort of abandon your own pre-existing notions and instead walk in the developer's shoes in such a game like this, you start to see some of the design decisions. Things start to click, to flow together, and fall in place, and while I'm still not really sure it's much deeper than I'm imagining, it feels a lot more entertaining to play - especially if my hopes for what is in store fall into place. The abstract keybindings feel less strange, the global aiming and prediction... could still use a re-imagining but it's less terrible after a bit, the usage of weapons and towers become more clear, that kind of thing.
The music and the aesthetic are about the only charismatic things in this game, which I guess in my case were enough to keep me invested until I figured the rest of the project out. The presentation as a whole is very inviting. The inoffensive and energetic EDM, the shading, colors, and menus, the minor voice overs, the animations of pretty much everthing fits nice and looks nice, the clean UI, and so on.
Bottom line: it's very alien, but it's interesting and filled with heart and effort. I realize this is as much "review" as it is just my thoughts on it as a project.
A nice visually stunning game having both RTS and TD elements. However, TD is kind of an optional element in this game. So, technically this game is an RTS. This game has really beautiful and decent(minimalist kind of.....) graphics. Totally worth it!
I bought this game for the Tower Defense aspect of it,
but it plays more like a shooter than a TD...
Said that, I have to add that Artificial Defense is a really good game
very well designed and most importantly IT's FUN!
Thumbs Up!
:)
Not a bad little game. It can be difficult and unforgiving at times, but it's way addicitve. The plot is simplicity in itself, simply defend a computer against corruption. Sounds easy, but it's really not. Towers get more expensive each time you place one, and even those can't kill everything. You'll find yourself screaming at the computer at times, but I personally think that's good. This one is nowhere near as easy as other TD games, so if you're looking for a challange, here it is!
I'm not sure what to say other than it's a really good game, and "HERB STOP PUTTING YOUR USB IN MY COMPUTER"
Great game, picked it up on sale for 99p but its easily worth full price. The orbital shooter part is the main mechanic and leading the target is the main skill you need. The Tower defense and RTS mechanics play more supporting roles, at least in the early stages of the game - maybe this changes later on. It is quite difficult, but I don't think the balance is off as other reviews have claimed - its just not the sort of game where you can necessarily expect to beat every level first time.
Ich dachte zuerst das ist ein klassisches TD-Spiel mit alternativem Look und Szenario, aber eigentlich ist es ein OD-Spiel (Orbital-Defence) weil man gar keine Türme bauen kann, sondern aktiv zielen und schießen muß.
Hinzu kommt noch, das sich die Map die ganze Zeit langsam dreht und man dadurch ständig anders zielen und umdenken muß. Das ist nix für einen "alten Mann" ^^.
Aber was mich am meisten gestört hat ist, das man die Tasten nicht frei belegen kann, für mich als PC-Linkshänder nicht akzeptabel.
Fazit: Ausprobieren und selber entscheiden. Für mich wars nix ^^
EDIT: Danke für die nette Antwort, leider zu spät da ich das Spiel inzwischen zurückgegeben habe, bevor ich ausprobieren konnte die Türme zu setzen, das drehen auszuschalten und die Tasten so zu belegen wie es für mich angenehem wäre.
Also jetzt eher Daumen hoch, da meine Kritikpunkte nur meiner Ungedult und anfänglichen Enttäuschung entsprangen, aber wohl (wenn auch nicht sofort ersichtlich) ein- bzw. abstellbar sind :-D
Ich werde das Spiel aber dennoch nicht wieder holen, da ich nicht gerne aktiv gegen Feinde vorgehe ^^
Pretty neat computer-themed TD.
This game combines three different elements (offense, defense, and resource management) into a really fun, unique and intense experience. If you're looking for a mindless tower defense game, I'd probably look elsewhere. You'll be constantly shooting creeps, building towers, and capturing obejectives.
The concepts in the game make it easy to learn, but the levels quickly become challenging. The objectives in each level make you prioritize different things and keep the game interesting.
This is a truly original game.
From the upgrades through the graphics and on into the music, I love it.
It starts slow and is, just for reference, incredibly tough. It gets easier as you get into the higher levels of upgrades, and I yelled in frustration a little, but it ended up a great game.
The level of difficulty is pretty intense, though.
such a great idea
tower defense but you can also shoot enemies yourself
perfect learning curve
looks great
upgrades keep it fresh
To start off:
The creator of the game is a amazingly kind guy who's a huge inspiration to anybody interested in the games development industry. Genuinely, if you have a issue - you can contact him and he'll help you none-stop until the issue is fixed. He'll go out of his way for you, if that doesn't have you sold, read on!
First off, the game is very unique in the way it works. From how you gather points to update things, to how you kill the enemies. The thought of a top-down shooter mixed with Tower-Defence and a tiny hint of RTS is a amazing idea and I'm excited to see more of the developers games.
The developers attempts at a mixture of visual styles; ranging from some cell-shaded, to the clear abstract style definately gives the game a very unique look; the geometric enemies make it very easy for the player to see where they're heading and is definately a positive for the game.
Furthermore, the unique sense that the game goes for somehow helps you get immersed in the game. The attempt at a story is room for huge props considering the game could have easily went without any explaination at all - you're just there to kill stuff and that's it. No; the developer is clearly dedicated and for the things that he does, deserves far more than just £3.99. At such a modest price - how could you not buy the game?
TL;DR:
The game is good, buy it.
A fun game with stylish graphics and great music!
If you like the tower defense / orbital shooter genre you should definitely check this out -
This game is worth every single penny, highly recommended.
I'm going to repeat most of what [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/calibrojosh/recommended/443420/]this review[/url] has stated, since I wholeheartedly agree.
I'm writing my own review, however, to bring down the ratio of positive to negative reviews, since I feel a bit deceived after buying a game that is apparently well received, but has some serious issues.
This game tries to combine the genre of tower defense with some sort of top-down shooting and a tiny bit of RTS.
The idea is nice, but it falls flat on it's face by how the game is balanced and tweaked.
[h1]The gameplay[/h1]
You have to defend your core structure from spawning enemies that simply will try to walk towards it. If an enemy touches your core, you lose your life. You win a stage by completing three objectives, which are in the vain of "destroy 50 enemies".
The tower defense part consists of three types of towers. One passive resource gathering tower, and two offensive towers. The offensive towers are split up into a long range single-target tower and a short range splash damage tower.
The top down shooter is the most engaging part of the gameplay. It allows you to shoot bullets and missiles from the sky that hit the ground after a delay. This makes timing your shots a crucial aspect.
The final part is the extremely barebones RTS part. You gain resources that allow you to shoot (which requires ammunition) and buy towers. There are points on the map that you can take over with a special unit that allows you to get a resource bonus. These resources have to be safely transported though, akin to how harvesters worked in Command and Conquer.
[h1]The problems[/h1]
Now to the actual plaguing issue of the game.
The tutorial gives you unlocked higher-tier weapons and tower upgrades to play with, but once you get to the actual game, you are left with peashooters. The game doesn't compensate for your lack of firepower in the first stages by giving you less enemies. You now have to deal with slowly moving hordes of enemies that you have to kill using weapons that reload slow and do little damage, and by using towers that also have to reload a long time between shots.
I had to turn the difficulty to the lowest level to be able to survive any stage. Attempting or successfully finishing a stage rewards you with points that you can spend towards unlocking better weapons. Having some sort of fun seems to behind a grindwall.
There are a handful of level packs (around 7 if I remember correctly). The levels contain multiple stages, with the only change between them being the objectives given. The layout is identical and so seem the timing of enemy spawns.
[h1]In conclusion[/h1]
So what you end up with is a neat idea packed into horrid balancing.
It is genuinely impressive that this game was made by a single person, since it looks well, sounds nice and has a decent idea behind it. The author likes to really remind you of this fact, however. Showing it in the starting screen, in it's company name and in half of his posts on the game page.
All that it needed was some playtesting and tweaking. But it seems like instead of publishing a good game the first time around, we live in a time where developers can just keep trying things with the thought of being able to patch anything in the back of their minds.
I rather had waited and played this game in a more fun state, than the current product.
Great RTS and Tower Defense defense game! Gameplay feels fluid and relatively easy to learn. Well worth the price, even without a discount!
还算比较有创意的塔防游戏，
开始玩了一个晚上,傻傻的一个个解锁装备，
后来用CE一改就都有了。
但是也没啥玩的愿望了。
The only bugs I found are the ones you shoot.
Simply GREAT!
Fun take on the TD genre
First off, don't expect this to be your run-of-the-mill tower defense game.
This game focuses heavily on resource management and plays more like a hybrid shooter/tower defense. The tower cost scales up quickly so you can only afford to place a few strategic ones to back you up. The rest you have to shoot down with projectiles/missiles/bombs manually, and every one of those costs resources. So this is not one of those place towers and watch things die TD games. It is more challenging than most TDs, but has an interesting balance. I found it to be quite enjoyable, though frustrating at times in a type II fun sort of way.
The developer is very active. Just today I had an issue with the game, which I posted on the discussion board. Someone on the board picked up on it, notified me that the developer was offline at the time, that he has forwarded this to him. The issue was acknowledged, responded to on the board, solved, and patched within 24 hours of the issue being posted on the board. For an one-man-show developer, that is impressive.
In short, if you're looking to try a new TD hybrid that is challenging, I would recommend giving this game a try. It's a fun indie game with a developer that I feel is worth supporting.
Love this title will get better over time , the music is outstanding , need a music game mode maybe but overall outstanding effort .
This game has proved to be quite a fun one. It takes a bit to get used to it, and there are certainly features that I haven't always understood, but as a whole, I've been quite pleased with it. It makes you really think about what is most important for you to be doing at any one time, Quite frankly, I think this game is under sold, it's worth more than it currently is listed.
If this game lacks anything, it's not always intuitive what new things can do. For instance, I didn't know until quite recently that certain bombs have effects that last long after the weapon has been deployed. Still, finding those things out is a part of the fun of the game, and with the variety of missions, I eventually was forced to learn these new features, always keeping me on my toes. Overall this was an awesome game!
Всем привет.
Игра безусловно отличная. Начиная с легких уровней и до более сложных.
Минусов я вроде пока не обнаружил.
Огромная просьба, сделайте русификатор! На перевод некоторых условий и заданий уходит много времени, а хотелось бы играть. Звуки, команды и речь можно оставить на английском, но вот текст очень хотелось бы на русском. ))))
Надеюсь что я буду услышан разработчиками игры. Когда пройду больше половины дополню отзыв.
[u]What I liked:[/u]
[list]
[*]Cool concept of orbital shooting
[*]Weapon and turret upgrades looking interesting
[/list]
[u]What You Need to Know:[/u]
[list]
[*]Game is not a normal TD game, the way you beat a level is to complete the challenges, which also give you the resources needed to upgrade( you do get some even if you lose)
[*]Your main goal is to complete the 3 challenges, once that is done you can then end the match, as the enemies will keep spawning
[*]Seems like replaying the same levels over again at the beginning is the the only way to upgrade to beat almost any level beyond the first 2.
[*]You will get overwhelmed with enemies, and using the starting few weapons are a joke for how many enemies you have to keep away even when lowering the difficulty to easy
[*]Overall the orbital shooting that made it unique, is also the least fun and very tedious with how much you need to kill with the weapons given, so I didn't care for it(odd you think having alot of enemies would make it more fun, but not when you have to pinpoint kill every little creature.
[*]Also the turrets don't help at all, it felt like why bother having them. Maybe when you upgrade everything this game would be amazing, I just don't want to go through the grind and not enjoy it along the way( I'm ok with grinding when it's done right. Killing Floor, Payday)
[*]Upgrades cost is crazy for lvl 3, don't know beyond that, but bet it's higher. going from 4k to 32k and not having good enough weapons to beat later mission, meant that I would have to play the last level 32 times to get one new upgrade since my weapons sucked.

My very first impression of Artificial Defense: the discussion forum. The developer is very active in the community and is highly receptive to feedback and actually gives a ♥♥♥♥ about the game. This deserves credit where it's due.
And to expand on that original impression everything in the game is quite sleek and thematic. Nothing notable was left out in this regard that I could see.
Contrary to my expectations, but not negatively impacting the results, Artificial Defense is 80-90% orbital shooter with minimal tower defense elements. This is mostly a comment there for people who really like tower defense and don't care for orbital shooter - look elsewhere.
As kinda a mixed bag, I can tell that the optimal input device to play with is a controller with an analog stick. Using the mouse to aim was a bit unintuitive for me, but ultimately I figured it out okay. Using the keyboard to aim is possible, but based on splitting the shots of multi-round salvos effectively, I would highly recommend against it. I don't know if my initial struggles with keyboard/mouse controls are more a factor of myself or the game.
And finally, the price is right. Especially if you're picking it up on sale like I did.
The medic always ruins your game
This is NOT a traditional tower defense game. So if, like me, you are looking for a primarily tower defense game, then look elsewhere.
Note -- My negative rating is because this game fails as a traditional tower defense game. By all means try it if you are looking for an orbital shooter.
Had to give it a 'not recommended' for the controls.
The game, the graphics and so on 'top notch - love it'.
Maybe later in an update????? Fingers crossed.
A very interesting and different tower defense game. You have to both mange your resources which function in the form of RAM or (Random access memory) and use it wisley to invest in towers to defend your operating system or (OS). Here is the twist you use ram when you fire from an ac 130 like perspective using machine guns missels and nukes and while you place towers so accuracy with your shots and resource management are a very large part of the game. However there are ways to increase your excess ram both through destroying cookies and by entering conquer mode and taking over system structures which have a few diffrent effects such as generating diffrent resources. Overall this game is worth the few dollars to keep you entertained for hours especially if you are interested in the tower defense genre.
This game was good, but it HAD flaws (note past tense) - the main ones being insane framerates (not good) and non-remappable keys and a requirement to hold the left button all the time to move the camera.
The developer has addressed all these flaws. I recommend this game. If you liked Tower Defense games such as Defense Grid, then you should like this plenty.
This is a good tower defense game and the annoying flaws have been dealt with by the developer.
Deserves support.
This Is One Of Those Games That Uses Time And Thinking, But It Is One Of Those Games That Is Unique In Its On Way, Such As The Art And Audio That Was Put Into This Game. Also The Mobile Version Is Great As Well I Totally Recomend People Who Like Orbital Stratigic Type Games, And Keep In Mind This Game Was Created By 1 Person, Yes 1 Person.
プレイヤーの操作に重点したタワーディフェンス。通常のタワーによる防御に加え、プレイヤーによる攻撃とリソース調達という3要素で敵を迎撃していく。局面ごとに色々な行動の選択肢があり、タワー防御に任せるのか自分が叩きにいくのか悩ましい。
Nice game with an interesting concept. The controller support need to be refined, but the dev has it already on his ToDo-list.
难以想象一个人能做出这么好的作品。我从游戏发售前就在关注这部作品了，第一个吸引我的地方就是别出心裁的射击模式，对预判的要求高。游戏的动画效果也做得非常好。唯一希望能够改进的地方就是游戏中地图一直在旋转这点能切换。
A very interesting mash-up of several game types: tower defense, the old Missile Command arcade game, and lightweight RTS base-building, all overlaid onto a Tron-like theme. Gameplay is engrossing and the level of freneticism can be dialed up or down according to your preference.
This talented young indie developer clearly has a bright future in game design and deserves your support. The amount of money he's asking for this little gem is a pittance; I spend more on breakfast every day. Give this guy some coins so he can keep doing what he's obviously very good at without being weighed down by the whims of greedy investors and idiot MBAs.
