Let me first state that I, a stand-alone veteran, feel sick to my stomach when I see the word "mobile game". But this game was forced on me by a friend and said, "Try it, there are no in-app purchases." I was dubious, but found out that it can actually be played offline? Tower defense + heroes of the Three Kingdoms, the style is realistic, without those fancy vertical paintings and card drawing animations. In each level, you can manually control the hero's position and skills. Fighting BOSS has a micro-manipulation feel like "Orcs Must Die", and it is not a mindless pile of values. 😎
What surprised me the most was that it didn't have that disgusting routine of “recharging to renew your life if you don't have enough stamina”. If you die in a level, you can start over. Upgrading the hero depends on collecting materials. Currently, I have reached the 20th level and can purchase it for zero yuan. The networking function is a PVP mode called "Tower Raiders", but I simply ignored it. It was perfectly fine to play alone. 😏
Of course, there are also shortcomings: the picture details are average, and the difficulty curve in the later stages of the level is a bit steep, so novices may be discouraged. And this game is produced by Xinxian, a company that used to make online games. I hope you can resist the temptation and don't suddenly stuff you with a 648 gift package later. 🌚
In short, if you are like me and are tired of socializing with krypton gold, and want to find a strategic tower defense that you can take out and play twice at any time, you can try this. Indie games are hard to find, so this kind of "stand-alone game disguised as a mobile game" is a treasure. 👇
