They Are Billions

Post by pilonv1 »

Started playing this recently, it's a mix RTS/Tower Defense game. If you like something like Age of Empires, but preferred to just turtle up and build a base and defend from enemies this is for you.
It's early access, but is pretty feature complete. It's also very hard at higher levels, and one little mistake can ruin your base. Fun stuff :up:

I like the look of it but might wait until it comes out of early access. Really enjoying Endless Space 2 though at the moment.
ANATHEMATIC ILLIMITED, TRANSFATAL EXPRESS, VIRAL INCORPORATED, INTERNATIONAL EPIDEMICS & MENSTRUAL MOTORCYCLES.

It's pretty hard even on low levels, one fuck up and hours of your game is ruined.

Finally finished Map 3 on 140% which unlocks Map 4. I love how much it draws you in but I feel that there's not a lot of freedom in how you approach each map despite the randomness. Snipers & Thanatos with Executioner towers are so powerful there's no reason to build anything else and the base buildings are more cost effective than the advanced ones except for housing.

The next update is meant to have a tavern where you can recruit new heroes which should add some much needed content. The campaign should be a pretty good addition, some level of multiplayer/co-op would help too.

Finally out of Early Access and there's a full campaign mode among other things. Sounds like there's some balancing bugs but everything else looks good.
