TLDR: Straightforward cookie cutter tower defense in a dated unity engine, poor animations, uninspired strange colonial setting, uninspired mechanics.
You keep seeing the same sprites rushing in simple paths, which you block using the classic trinity of warrior, archer, healer. Defeat waves, grind forward. Nothing special. There is an endless mode which would have been decent to check out right away to see what the game looks like once it is fully unlocked but it is grayed out until you complete the campaign.
Conclusion: I would rather play Kingdom Rush or PvZ again than bother sitting through this. It is very redundant and inferior in comparison.
This is a quick and fun tower defense style game. As other reviewers have said it's not really one of great depth and once you've got the hang of spamming archers then most levels are straightforward.
This is also a simple game to get "perfect game" with 15 do-able achievements and a useful guide to getting them all is on the community page. Took me under 4 hours play time to complete and get perfect game.
My one annoyance with this game is the game board doesn't quite fit on one screen and the scrolling is clunky.
פשוט כיף עולמי בחיים שלי לא ידעתי שמשחק אחד יכול לשלב בתוכו עולם שלם של פעילות כו מהנה למשחק הפשוט של עולם הגיימינג משחק השנה
I don't like the mechanics of the game.
It's a td where I can't maze, and the soldiers I place out move without me asking them.
I'm not even gonna take time to elaborate this, it's just a very plain experience.
Also, the connection to Selknam is vague at best.
Short, sweet, to the point and nicely made. The only minor complaint I have is that sometimes the sound effects stack and the resulting noise is slightly painful
I liked it. Basic TD with Controller Support. Worth a play through.
The game is OK at best, could be a lot better though.
Pros:
-Simple graphics, tutorial, and interface help beginner tower defense players learn quickly.
-Fun, simple gameplay, with some strategic depth.
-Great difficulty curve that forces change of strategy on later levels.
-Many units are generally well-balanced and useful in their own way.
-Decent value game if you spend $6 or less.
-Family-friendly.
Cons:
-Low replay value; game is beatable in a few hours, nothing else really to do other than survival mode and minimal achievements.
-Suicide bomber enemies are OP. I would understand if all units die from bombers in one hit except for tanks, but even low-level tank units get killed by them in one hit. Only max-upgraded tanks can survive one blast, but with almost no HP left. Enemy suicide bomber damage should be reduced a bit so that level 1, 2, and 3 tank units can take more than one bomber hit, but no more than two, before death.
-Basic archer units should do a bit more damage.
-No way to see specific enemy stats, or how your unit buffs are affecting unit stats.
-When building units, no name indicators are given when choosing what unit to place. There needs to be names shown when mousing over the units, so that you can distinguish between each unit without incorrectly selecting the wrong unit to build.
-General bugs ruin gameplay: enemy units go right through defences when they shouldn't in certain levels, sometimes certain areas that you should be able to place units on become unbuildable during gameplay, bad melee AI makes them move to areas that you don't want them to move and attack units that you don't want them to.
-Limited music variety becomes tiresome to listen to.
-Unit placement voices are annoying.
-Barebones storyline and graphics.
Overall, 6/10. There are many better tower defense games out there (Dungeon Defence, Plants vs. Zombies, etc), but I would recommend this for family gamers, if you're looking for a budget TD game, if you're a huge TD game enthusist or if you're a TD beginner. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
PROS: Cute, 1$ for about 30min-1hour entertainment
CONS:
VARIETY- 12 towers; 8 enemies; 24 maps (disappointing); more than half the towers are useless- youll be using a melee (tank) a healer and a stunner (root or basic) then rows and rows of basic archers; theres support units which do nearly nothing- why would you want to slow; stun (2 types); and confuse the same unit; poison doesnt do nearly enough damage.
MAZING- None; creeps move along a path- mostly, some units change lanes depending on clutter and some can ignore it completely- notably the suicider which runs at any unit shooting it
MENUS/HELP- Nearly non existant, no tutorial; no detailed numbers/charts on what the units specials do, no speed control
PAUSE- NONE, which is significant since you cant control speed (1x on the last levels is fast enough) game plays like a RTS than a tower defense; and since you cannot rotate the map or hotkey anything its not very friendly. Last levels where every space is filled with units you need to find empty spaces- by the time you do your frontline is dead. Simple fix- pause the game when you click on a space- unless they wanted it to play like a RTS like i said.
LENGTH- game takes about 1 hour; or 2 depending on skill level- survival mode is worth 6 mins.
OVERALL- 2/10; there was only 1 other TD i played that was worse than this, something with pirates- thank god i forgot the name; but if the devs can fix the above- it does have potential and if they do and add levels and make it seem like its not a barely above free flash game id pickup the sequel.
It's cheap, it's got awesome characters, map design and tilesets.
I just wished it was worked on some more or that a sequel came out with a bit more polish.
If you want a cheap TD game to waste a few hours on it's ok, but it could have been so much more.
- I'd love more in-game stats and popup info and explanations
- I'd appreciate the ability to turn the camera somewhat as some tiles are hard to reach/view
[*]Some more options and screen-sizes would be good
It's fun but not enough for me i'm afraid.
I bought this game when it was on sale for $1, and I still feel like I over-paid for this game.
I don't necessarily have a problem with tower games being formulaic, as that is largely inescapable. However, there is little to no imagination expressed in this game at all. Movement is slow, animations poor, art extremely basic, and story? Non-existent (regardless of the claims of 'altering history' in the game description).
Even if entirely free, this game is not a worthwhile use of your time. There are a large variety of tower games available on flash-game sites that are far more engrossing and imaginative than this (i.e. the Gemcraft series, or the Protector series).
I regret purchasing this game.
The game sucks! i got to the third level and got stuck!
Fun little tower defense game. However, it is quite "child-like" and any adults looking for more than a "distraction" won't find much.
It's an easy experience, fun and mind-numbing when you need it to be. It's definitely not something to get jazzed up about, but it's worth it for $5 or less.
Great game, its very fun!
Loved the drawings, its mechanics and the theme. well done!
Awful.
There are 12 characters. Of the 12, only 3 can deal damage. The rest of the characters are specialized roles unable to deal damage. And all characters can be attacked, there's no hiding support characters off the main road to keep them out of harm's way. For example, within the cleric family, each character can cast only one type of buff (haste, heal, or strengthen) and cannot attack. Same with archers: the main archer can deal damage, but the slowing archer and poison archer can only add their effect. Since characters can only perform their one narrow role, buffs/support eat up more resources than they're worth.
Each character can be upgraded twice and twice only. And upgrades are done between levels. So in the beginning of each level, the characters overwhelm each wave easily, but by the third or fourth wave (of five), tables are turned and its the level three heroes who are easily overpowered.
For each role-character, there is an enemy counter. For example, within the warrior family there is a tank that can absorb but not damage. You can out a tank right on the path, but enemies can leave the path to go around the tank, and some enemies can go through the tank, and there are suicide bombers who can blow up multiple tanks in one hit. And even regular enemies can wear down tanks if the tanks aren't complimented with archers or warriors, because the tanks don't deal damage.
And all this wouldn't be so bad if the charaters could be instructed. For example, archers, focus on suicide bombers, or something like that. But everyone just focus on the most forward enemy.
This would be n uninspired flash game on kongregate or armor games or something. But on Steam? For five dollars?!? Pass, my friends. Pass.
Very uninspired TD game. You never really have enough gold to implement any kind of strategy that the variety of units could
make.
Not worth the sale price.
First Try on Selknam Defense!
Updates will be posted boldy in the respective part of the review
The video can be found here:

I'll start off by saying that the tag "mobile port", would it be still available, would fit here quite nicely. At least this game feels like one.
The options menu only consists of fullscreen(on/off) and sliders for sfx and music.
After a quick tutorial, you'll be released into the wilds of this game. One thing that is quite nice in my opinion is that there are 3 different input devices available for you to navigate and put down units(controller, mouse and the keyboard). Speaking of the controller, one thing that is detrimental though is that you can't accellerate the the game with the controller alone. Especially considering that this game first went live on the LG smart TV, you might think that this game was built with you sitting on the couch and playing it with the controller in mind.
Anyways, one thing I started to notice is that melee characters are not standing still. This good as well as bad at the same time. Because of that you can attack ranged enemies with melee characters, but at the same time, if you've placed the healer one square behind your melee warrior, it gets out of healing range.
Secondly the game introduces a suicide bomber enemy relatively early in the game. By the way it has to be said that the enemy variety in this game is acceptable, but let's get back to the bomber. The bomber runs towards your units, and if you build your defense lines as I do(melee upfront, ranged/heals at the back), you will loose a lot of manpower this way. Since I didn't find a way to tell my unit to back off and let the ranged units do the job, my melee lines get obliterated by one enemy unit. (Maybe a misplay by myself, but I will look into it again later)
Update: As this fellow https://www.youtube.com/user/fbudinichd pointed out in a comment on my video, you are able to reposition your own units, which is not shown in the tutorial or the game at any time. This way the damage suicide bomber units would do can be reduced greatly. At any rate, it should be included in the tutorial that you can reposition your units, which adds a bit of strategical depth to the game itself.
Apart from all of that I'd like to say that the game does what it does quite good, but that is all. It is not that the game is bad, it is not good either and what kills it for me is that this game has nothing that sets it apart from the rest of the free tower defense games out there.
This makes it nigh on impossible to recommend this game. If I google tower defense, I get to choose a overwhelming amount of free flash games that do pretty much the same as this game. I could even download Starcraft II for free and browse the arcade for tower defense games.
With that said, we come to the tl:dr...
Is the game worth it? I have to say, no. It is not worth the 10€ and I would even say even with 50% it is not worth it. The sheer amount of other free towerdefense games out there simply show that you might consider Selknam Defense just yet another towerdefense game and nothing more than that...
Really fun game! its simple in mechanics but it happens to be quite a challenge!
Recommended!
Having healers that bug up and don't heal 90% of the time makes this unplayable.
