after the initial logo , the game wont start. Id love to review it but ... IT WONT START haha. dont buy it.
Currently the game is unplayable. Launch and it goes to the CDS logo, and then just a blank screen. Messaged the devs a few times on the Community hub and no reply. Was a good game and fun to play, but if you can;t play it don't buy it :(
Information
Towers of Altrac - Epic Defense Battles is a Tower Defense which was developed by Jsmael Stieger, Manuel Stieger and others.
Important details about the game
- A character level system through which you can unlock powerful new skills over time.
- It has 3 races which all have their own towers and play each other differently.
- A total of 62 very nicely designed maps (no high-end graphics, but> very nice for this genre
- A very active administration team that tries hard to find and remove weaknesses
- I've heard that new content is already being planned, but the details are not yet known.
- SAD system (opponents find their own way and don't always take the same one), which integrates a new strategic component into the game. Sometimes it still has a few weaknesses but on the whole it's very interesting.
- Online mode for co-op games with up to 4 players works almost flawlessly, sometimes you are thrown out, but so far this only happened to me when the game was started so that it could simply be started again, so nothing is lost during the Game always ran smoothly.
- Steam cards and many achievable achievements which cannot be achieved in a very short time but all of them are achievable for everyone.

Fazit
Towers of Altrac - Epic Defense Battles is a solid tower defense for little money that is just fun.
I am pleased with the quality to price ratio of this game. Not a good introduction to the tower defense genre, but as a veteran I find that it is enjoyable. The difficulty from map to map varies significantly, and because of the co-op option I highly recommend you buy a friend a copy at the same time. The GUI has been criticized a great deal, but I don't have a problem with it. Be sure to watch the tutorials in their entirety, it is worth the wait. I give it a solid 7 or 8 out of 10.
Best value for the money of any game I have purchased off of steam. Yes, the arrow keys to move and rotate the view gets a little difficult at times, but for the price I paid I have spent several hours already on this game.(works out to pennies for an hours worth of play) On medium difficulty I am stuck at about level 14 on each of the races. Hats off to the 3 brothers who obviously spent a lot of time crafting this game. I look forward to more games from you guys in the future.
As you can see i have spent some time with this game and i´d like to give my 2cents.
When you are a fan of Tower Defense games this is the game you´d enjoy for sure.
To be honest there are many enjoyable things about the game, but it has it letdowns like medium graphics, sparingly balance issues, poor introduction for newcomers and some minor handling issues what is likely the reason for the medium reviews.
The good and bad:
+ Many big levels with a long playtime, increasing in difficulty, size and number of waves over time
+ 3 campaigns with different Towers, all upgradable to lvl 5, at least 15 towers per race
+ Mostly different choices available to beat a level (sometimes not --> see negatives, balance issue)
+ Some new ideas for TowerDefense, like secundary objectives the mobs want to destroy first, Mobs that spawn or heal other mobs over time --> so the same tactic doesn´t always apply (you´ll see what i mean)
+ Mobs can change their mind , turn around and take another path (not in every lvl, but some)
+ Just building towers randomly will make you loose the game
+ Good music ( i did not have the urge to turn it off after more than 100 hours gameplay), which is a good sign
--> every race has its own music themes and different songs
+ Game gets still updated
+ Imo worth it´s price
+ A simple level up-system for your character with 10 diiferent spells to learn and upgrade
- Medium Graphics... my first impression was bad because of the gritty black dots in textures. I guess it´s a style thing, but my eyes would be happier without them.
- Sometimes in some levels there are waves, that are out of balance and totally overpowered, especially the self healing mobs... you CAN defeat them, but hmmm, doesnt feel balanced well. Especially Dreoks Campaign after mission 13. So you have to take a specific tactic to prepare for meant wave (imbalance issue)
- you can´t move the screen with the mouse (minor handling issue), you have to use WASD or the arrow buttons
- on some ground textures you can´t see your own towers above them well enough... "where is it? i´m sure i´ve built it there, ah there it is..." (especially on lvl 1 when they are small)
- Some sound effects like the first tower of the "nature race" makes an annoying sound, especially when there are many of them. (The majority of tower sounds are good though)
- the game has multiplayer, but due to the lack of players i could not test it yet (nobody on, but singleplayer is fun enough)
Graphics are poor, sounds could be better but the gameplay is...FANTASTIC.
This game has everything a tower defence should have
Its very easy to pick up and lots of ways to setup defences but its infuriating in a couple of levels....Im stuck even on EASY mode at level 21
Ive had my moneys worth in entertainment value alone...but I do hope I can beat this level and proceed before my interest wanes....but even if I dont succeed...its still been money well spent
Junk! I bought this game at 2.50$ and I think I got ripped off. Grafix are horrible, Gameplay is chunky and uninspiring, I would not give this to a friend even if they asked for it. This game would be a beta at best, but no it's a finnished game. Three siblings made it so it probably had no buget to speak of when making it. It could be a cool game but it requires alot more polishing.
Very clunky. You have to use the arrow keys to move around the map.
Intros are just text with a picture. Very unfinished.
Has potential, but at this stage, is slow, tedious, and boring.
I might be spoiled from Sol Survivor, AOE2 TD's, even Prime World: Defenders.
If this game was made by 3 brothers then Bravo! Well done. (you can tell English is not their first language. which is ok, but you can tell)
However, it shouldn't be on Steam. It's not in the same league of games for todays standards.
With a lot more work this 'could' be a very good game. At the current state it is amateurish and it shows.
I only payed $3.74, but for today's standard thats about $2.74 more than it's worth.
I hope they keep developing this game, it has potential. If they were for fill in cut scenes, fix the clunky interface, add voice acting and some animations it might be worth $5.
At the current state, it just got boring real quick. And I really would rather give it a much better review because of the potential.
UPDATED 27/1/15 See bottom of review
Here is my review. I have decided to focus on game facts with what is currently in the game (13/1/15), if the game sounds suited to you after reading- then purchase, hopefully it is helpful either way even if the game isn't up your alley. Personally I am happy to have this game in my library and can see many hours of enjoyment in it.
**There are 3x factions/nations. Each has their own selection of towers. Machine/Nature/Magic
Ground- 6x
Air- 3x
Multi-5x
Special- 5x (slows buffs etc.)
You unlock a tower for every level you play, but don't actually have to play all the levels in order, some unlock multiple levels to choose from and they do display the tower that is unlocked by playing that level-though stats are not displayed on the map screen.
All towers can be leveled up to level 6 and if you hover over the 'upgrade' button in the right hand menu it does actually give clear details on what the upgrade does. Upgrades cost 2x more than the last one for example.
Tower cost-20 1st up -20 2nd up -40 3rd up -80 etc.
**Tower build locations are fixed areas, this is purposeful to increase the strategic importance of where you dump your towers.
**After a few levels there will be multiple paths the enemy can take and they will use their options, though there are always choke points or sometimes there is something they will target first before heading for the exit/exits. Example
some levels have a building or blockade on one or more of the lanes, once these go down it unlocks further routes.
**After successfully finishing a level you will gain experience points increasing your profile level. As you level up you unlock more abilities which there are 10x of total. Every 5x levels you unlock a new ability.
Every profile level you go up you get 'coins' which can be spent on upgrading these abilities. 1x coin = 1x level of upgrade.
**WASD control map movement, with all other actions living on your mouse. (I got used to this pretty quick personally)
V controls game speed, normal, fast, faster (not sure exactly of time increase incremements.)
mouse wheel controls zoom, from 1st person view of an enemy to a zoomed out view of the entire map.
There is currently no hotkey function, personally would love a upgrade hotkey, this is obviously something that can be added, I will update here if it is at a later date.
**Support- From my personal experience the devs seem to be right behind their game and are listening to us gamers.
I found a very minor unimportant bug that I emailed them yesterday, got a reply nearly immediately and a hotfix was released today for it.
**There is currently no bestiary/tower glossary for enemies you have met and towers you have unlocked. I think this would be a nice feature to add personally.
**There is a co-op/multiplayer feature, added new strategies and defense options. (I haven't found a level that co-op is a must yet)
**Game can be challenging at times, it is not going to give you a hug, tell you everything is alright and offer a cookie. Though personally I am enjoying having a TD with this. It's a refreshing change.
**The next approaching wave is denoted by a coloured orb, Red-Ground enemies, Blue-Air enemies, Yellow-Special
**Graphics- This is not a AAA FPS game, it's a TD. Personally I prefer TD's to focus on strategy and defense, I can clearly see what enemies are approaching and have no issues identifying towers or placement locations. (Run at 1920x1080)
**Seems to be pretty stable, haven't found any major glitches and have had zero crashes so far.
Hopefully this has been helpful, if you do buy the game, please watch the ingame tutorial, it is actually quite helpful though short.
Now personally I recommend the game as I am enjoying it and would buy it again if I had a second choice. If it doesn't sound like you-pass on it or wait for possible new features.
I will actually update this review if new features get released, eg-hotkeys.
27/1/15- HOTKEYS have now been added to the game, list as below(Copied from patch notes)
Custom key bindings integrated
Added key shortcut for updating towers
Added key shortcuts for zoom in and out
Added key shortcuts for Special Abilities
Added key shortcut for displaying construction places
Multi-tower placements function added
Kind of on the border with this one, will probably give it a few more levels of play but at the current time would not recommend it. However cheap pricing of 3-4 euro it is cheap enough that if you really like tower defense games it is worth a try. This would be an excellent tablet game to play while waiting for something.
It is a very basic tower defense game.
-No way to release waves early.
-No way to speed up game play
-No way of directing tower of the order to attack
+maps are nice and require thinking of tower placement
So, here we are with a quandary....
There is a lot to like about this game, no doubt about it. But unfortunately it falls into the "potential" category.
There is a great basis for one of the top games in this genre, but as yet, the game fails to deliver, chiefly because it suffers from a truly incompetent/archaic user interface and lousy "playability".
The game sets out to provide a gratifying user experience with the inclusion of multiple player profiles and campaigns and while this is so limited as yet (read meaningless so far), the player can drool over the possibilities that might offer in a genre (tower defence) that to date, has totally lacked this kind of wet dream.
Develop this aspect alone and the game designers have a winner.
While im no expert, I can honestly say that as a lover of tower defence games, This one has the best potential so far, but the worst delivery.
Fix this, and the sky is the limit for this game. (I mean for God's sake people, get rid of the keyboard WSAD interface in favour of edge of screen mouse scroll at the very least!).
At the special price, its really great value, but at the recommended retail, its very ordinary so far.
C'mon developers. lets see some commitment to improving it, and yes, I'd refresh it and even buy it again if you did,,... the possibilities are that good.
I recommend it at the sale prrice ($4 or less), but would have no issue in paying full retail for this game if it was developed a little better.
Don't buy this game.
Ever.
The graphics are those from the PS2 or the original Xbox, or a 2005 PC game, the gameplay is boring, too restrained and total bullshit, the typos are so obvious it's incredible these devs didn't look like they did know what a dictionary was, loading screens between every single screen that last forever, and a pletora of annoying framerate drops.
If this game was made in mobile platforms, it would be OK, because nobody would give a shit, but it's not worth of Steam. Did people actually let this game pass through the Greenlight process and let it sell around? No sir, not in my town. If you want Tower Defense games, try Warcraft III instead.
Not to mention this game looked like it was overusing assets from the Unity asset store.
This review is of my opinion, I've only played TD games off of websites. This is my first one I've ever actually bought.
It's slow to get started due to odd difficulty settings. The difference between easy and medium are slim to none, but once you get the ball rolling you get the hang of it. It's fun in my opinion.
True, you only start out with 1 turret (basic) and 1 spell (frost, slow effect) but you unlock a new turret every map you beat. You can also upgrade the placed turret up to 6 levels significantly increasing their power. You unlock more spells when you level up your 'avatar/profile' by gaining experience after beating levels.
There are 3 factions to choose from, which are pretty unique. One is an industrial-modern-ish style with guns and cannons. The second one is a nature style faction, druid like, using trees, poision and bees. (Also birds, the first turret with that faction literally shoots out a bird at the mobs.) The third faction is pretty much a Mage faction, Arcane towers shooting missiles of magic and exploding their enemies, using a variety of magic to reign down onto the mobs.
The game is very basic, and is obviously using a pretty dated engine. I like the feel of it. I'm not sure why, but I like the feel they unintentionally/or intentionally put on it. Brings me back when I was a kid and used to go to the used book stores and find a bunch of PC games that were never sold sent to them in bulk.
The Co-Op in this is pretty great in my opinion as well. You and your friend are able to choose different or same factions to set up defenses on the whole map. One friend could place turrets where the mobs may spawn and you could place turrets where the adds are trying to get too. My friend and I have been playing this a good amount the past couple days and have been having a blast trying to beat the levels. They get pretty crazy when you get to end level waves. You can also do this with up to 4 people! Which is really cool imo.
PROS
+ Variety, a lot of turrets for a single faction. Which there are 3 factions. No factions have the same turrets just reskinned.
+ Maps, lots of maps
+ Co-Op, up to 4 people
+ Easy ability to control game speed (Also host can control game speed in Co-Op/Multiplayer)
+ Fairly straight forward and simple
+ Easy to run, probably my grandma's PC could run it
+ Nice camera distance view, allows me to practically see the entire map to watch over everything
+ Mobs don't follow 1 path every time you retry the same map
+ For a seemingly old looking engine, I was suprised it supported my giant Samsung TV I use for my main screen. (1920 x 1080p) with no issues. Also with the ability to go into windowed mode.
CONS
- Hotkeys, no where to be found. Going to end up clicking everything. When shit hits the fan and you're frantically trying to upgrade all of your turrets to withstand the horde it sucks.
- Difficulty, I feel like there should be no difficulty at all they Easy, Medium and Hard seem to be the exact same things.
- Dead online, haven't found a single game on their multiplayer server browser yet
- Turret placement, in this game you can only place turrets on certain spots on the map that are marked in a see through blue area on the ground. Some maps have very tiny ones that seem unfair and some maps have descently sized ones that seem fair and their clipping makes things difficult. It's hard to squeeze as many turrets as you can into one blue marked area. Some tiny turrets look like you should be able to squeeze 10 in, but in reality you can only squeeze in about 5. Not entirely game breaking, but it's still frustrating sometimes. I've been able to still get through the levels.
- No true Co-Op campaign unless you and your buddies are on the same faction. Now "Progress" in the game I would measure it to what turrets you have unlocked. Because the only way to unlock turrets is to play through your factions set of maps that you unlock in campaign. Due to that, which ever of the 3 factions you choose, they can only unlock their OWN turrets on their OWN campaign maps. So if your friend was faction A and you were faction B, and you both played his campaign map that unlocked his super turret and you beat it. You both would unlock it for only faction A and you would not unlock your faction B's super turret. It's kinda annoying, because it makes my friend and I alternate through each other's campaign maps.
- No lobby for multiplayer. Everytime you get finished with a game, it doesn't put you in a lobby to go again with the same people and choose a different map. It forces you to go back to the main menu and create/join a brand new multiplayer game. It get's pretty annoying after a while.
Not really a con, but I wish there was a sandbox mode in this, so I could just fuck around a build what ever and see how long I could last.
I'm sure I left some things out but over all and hopefully they'll fix add some things in patches eventually. I'd say it's a pretty fun game. 6.8/10
When Steam trading cards became available for this game the other day I decided to play it again, despite having given it one of my worst reviews so far. I wrote the review after a few hours of game play shortly after the game was released. Tower Defense games have been one of my favorite indie genres for a long time.
It seems since my original review, which i've now deleted the game has been updated. Not only with Steam cards but with steam achievments as well. I was never able to beat a level when i originally played it. Now i'm able to have achallenging game, but also I'm able to progress. The whole games seems to have been upgraded as I seem to remember no upgrades during a level, but now you can upgrade your towers .
I will contine with this review after some more game play a si want to explore the different factions to see if the game play is different and see if I can peruade a freind to play multiplayer with me.
Definitely a thumbs up now.
Hesitant recommendation after a couple hours of playing this. Only for tower defense fans, and only if you can get it at a deep discount. It's very rough around the edges, and has an uninteresting boilerplate fantasy story. However, the tower defense gameplay itself is alright, and it seems to work reasonably well. Certainly, it's not the best TD game I've encountered, but I'm enjoying it enough that I want to keep going after getting a few levels under my belt.
So far seems like a good tower defense game, 15 dollar standard price tag is ridiculous but for 4 bucks it's a great deal.
+lots of towers,
+5 levels each tower,
+lots of special abilities that you get by levelling up,
+4 difficulties each map
+Interesting creep ai system, they choose the easiest path
+Obstacles that creeps have to overcome which, if they do, make the map harder for you
+Clear description of tower stats as you're placing, and aoe circle
+Challenging, makes you want to keep playing
+Huge levels
-No pause feature
-Few placement zones, may be a balance feature but seems odd and doesn't really work
-average at best graphics
-Most of the gameplay elements are incredibly cryptic and take a lot of trial and error to figure out for example; the colors of the portals the creeps come out of indicate the type of creep; some upgraded towers get multiple guns, allowing them to split their dps when they see fit
-No tower descriptions until you get into the game
-No tower upgrades from levelling
Pretty hideous production values throughout. I'm still laughing at captain iron silver or whatever, probably a placeholder but good for a laugh. Also some of the achievements are "Defend 1000 enemies." Good stuff.
MANY of the negative reviews I am seeing, have less than an hour of play. Which pretty much tells me, they never really even got to the game itself, as the GUI does have a bit of a learning curve. However, with that said .. this is a pretty nice TD Game ... The Graphics are 3D Rendered ( though it feels like the engine used in some older games ).
One of the coolest features I discovered ( and I do mean discovered, as there really is not a help file - which is the negative ), is if you click on a monster which is crawling through your tower maze ... it locks onto him, and you can see the game from his perspective.
This does not deserve all the negative reviews. It's a decent game ... especialy for the current price ( $3 + change ).
If you like TDs ... give it a try ( and give it at least 1 hour ). You can't figure this one out in 30 minutes. But once you do, it's fun!
This warcraft 3 custom map . . . I mean tower defense game is what you would expect from new developers. Crappy music, crappy menus and crappy presentation.
Spend 14 bucks feeding the homeless or buying this game? I think you know the answer.
I have played many Tower Defense games on all platforms (PS4, Android, PC, My Truck, AFG, etc) and I cannot reccomend this one. Scroll to bottom for quick summary.
You start off with picking a character and a name (There are quite a few each, with unique looks). I do not know if there is anything more than looks to these characters as there are no descriptions. So I picked the one that looks cool, a dragon.
From the main menu the GUI (user interface buttons) were quite huge taking up most the screen on my 46' 1920x1080 monitor. So I check the resolution and it was set to max. I then went to the graphic settings to see if I could scale down the GUI to make it smaller. There was no options, so I made sure the graphic options were maxed.
Graphic Settings:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370076665
I then decided to start the game which gives you a couple different options. (Campaign, Single levels, Co-Op, Multiplayer) I started the Campaign, which gives you three realms to choose from. Once again, no descriptions on these three realms so I choose the one that had my favorite color. After selecting the Blue realm it went through some pages of story lines that you click next on which brings you to the campaign map.
One of the three realms campaign maps (Total 62 levels between three realms):
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370073461
On there I decided to see what special abilities were by selecting it. Looks like tower upgrades but am not sure as I did not play long enough at the time of this review to unlock any.
Tower Upgrades:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370068418
Once I entered the first level it was a little confusing trying to place my first tower. I shortly figured out that you can only place towers in the blue area's. Leaving, strategy placement pretty limited.
Tower Placement Locations:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370077146
But you can double up towers in the same blue spots, making a huge clusterfk of towers in a spot if chosen.
Multiple Towers in placement locations:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370077346
Through trying to place towers I discovered another flawed aspect of the game, the controls. You can only use the keyboard to move around and rotate your screen. You can only zoom in and out with the mouse.
Keyboard layout:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370063926
Summary
So between having a huge GUI blocking the screen, the controls not being user friendly, lack of details given about choices, not so great graphics, lack of tower placement for strategy, I CANNOT recommend this game at this time.
Up close graphics:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370076846
Let me start by saying i own most of the TD games ever released be it on pc or console.
There are obviously good and bad - i wasnt impressed by the latest port of bloons td which has never been a personal favourite anyway even though it has a large following. Then you come to game like this where basically i played the first map and will probably delete it. Graphically its abysmal, not bad but abysmal, lacklustre colours and palette and awful towers etc, basically the towers look like a small weed / few twigs. enemies are the same ,small pixelated faceless things. The landscape is really badly portrayed terrible textures etc.
Now we get to one of the worst areas of gameplay - controls . when placing a tower you are shown green areas on the map where you may place your towers you are not instructed how many you can fit into a green area so its trial and error which doesnt bode well with 500 enemies heading towards you. Moving the screen to place towers is also cumbersome WASD is used for the usual function which Q & A to rotate the screen with the mouse being used to place/remove a tower , all this is done with a fantastic jerky motion. And should you move / rotate far enough you get to see outer space yes a beautiful black area where the edge of the map would be on a well produced game.
I cant recommend this game in any capacity. If some poor unfortunate buys this and perseveres and it by some amazing chance gets better please let me know i would be willing to try again. As it stand i feel totally ripped off and wouldnt have been happy paying £0.99 for this game.
