Ancient Planet Tower Defense

Enjoyable tower defense game. Some challenges but not to the point of frustration.

Fun tower defense game, bit too easy maybe.

Good game

Average TD game, fine progression and difficulty but it became boring as you progress
Stage 1 to 6 boss designs are cool, each having their unique ability and somehow appealing story when you load the game
Some level designs are interesting, where you must use abilities to win instead of using towers is quite fun imo
(these stages are good for farming gems, which are essential for unlocking tower upgrades, abilities and base's perks)
Progression is fine, it does not have difficulty spike for no apparent reason

Things I don't really like:
Not much mechanic here, freeze tower is good for small troop spam if you have poison perks but the rest
But unlocking tower's perks are quite tedious, you earn around 40-50 in early games and around 90-120 in stage 5-x to 6-x.
Tower perks are good, yet they are grindy and grinding them made the game repetitive
Some special levels did make the game fun, the rest are a bit lame and pretty much you can win with the same strategies
The last level is lame, the boss is just re-textured troop with much higher hp and damage resistance.

Not really recommend this game, spend it on Gemcraft or the classic kingdom rush, these worth your cash more

Ancient Planet Tower Defense

the end boss is soooo dissipointing

's okay.

Pros:
1) PC: Works on Win-10
2) Graphics pretty good
3) Enjoyable Tower Defense
4) You get 3 profiles (I assume that 3 people can play the same game on the same PC if desired)
5) Small SW install size, playable on a "toaster" (low end PC) Don't need an NVIDIA 4090 :p
------ Remember, this was released in 2015.
6) Got it on sale, so it was a GREAT value in the Steam Store

Cons:
1) In-game Clicking: To pick up coins and resources to build towers
------ This is like a mobile game, and I just don't like it. I prefer "turn based" games where you get stages to upgrade towers.
2) Tutorial: It's ok, but it doesn't describe all aspects of the game (upgrades, etc).
------ I used YouTube videos to help with understanding the game a bit better.
3) Plot: A bit thin (and this isn't a big negative)
------ I bought this for the Tower Defense, not the plot, so this is a VERY MINOR negative.
4) Quit (on button labels)
------ This may be an English translation issue. The word "Quit" is used in the place of "Back" at times.
------ You may want to halt the game and restart. You hit "Quit" (which is true) but you just go back to the prior screen (so you can start again). I guess that it simplifies the game to use the same word in various places, I don't know.
5) Screen/View: (out of visible area at times)
------ There are several battles where the "money" towers are out of view. You need to "click the coins" to get the money to upgrade your tower, BUT, the battle is on the top of the screen, where you need to click for "gold coins" (which you use for non-tower boosts (brick walls, mines, sat laser beam, etc). There should be a way to size the whole map so it "fits" on your monitor, versus needless scrolling. This is just more "busy work" like clicking coins. It can be annoying. Maybe this similar to Con #2 (mobile style game play).

It's hard to find a good cup of coffee for less than 2 dollars these days. I paid less than 2 dollars for this game and have had one of the most fun tower defense experiences. Proves once again, its not about the graphics, its about the gameplay and fun, and this game has it in spades. There are a lot of real time trade offs you have to make every level and every wave, which makes this a great tactical challenge. You will lose often, but less than perfect wave completion still gets you progress towards macro unlocks you can choose from. All around, a great investment of your $2

Had a great time unlocking all the upgrades and levels in this little game with unique humor and design.

Solid tower defense game with decent skill progression! Probably going to beat it soon, but it's been a fun time nonetheless

There's a game breaking, game killing glitch that happens if for some reason your computer crashes or the light go out while playing it, it simply won't start again, not even in a different computer. The game is fun but i can't recommend it, this issue has been know for years aparently and the delevoper has't fix it yet

Tower defense games are my guilty pleasure when I want to chill out. This game doesn't do anything innovative but it just nails the sweet spot for me in terms of difficulty and progression. There are a lot of levels and the end game is challenging requiring you to think a little instead of spamming the same towers if you don't grind the upgrades. I have more hours on this game than Skyrim because i could always just play a level when I had a spare bit of time even if I was tired. A must buy if you like tower defense in my opinion.

At first glance i thought this looked too cartoony to really be good, it is good.
The right feel like a proper TD but also more it has neat little characters better yet,
There are some levels you can only complete with the perfect or (near) perfect setup in such a way that others TD games dont have
where you need to get the right setup but mainly the right strategy rewarding doing it right, this game has more
Its hard to explain or grasp from text but a sense of realism perhaps something reward you for more than pushing the advantages hard on a hard level
A needing of: the just right enough timing placement use plus strategy
there are some more fun than others that have this concept in a more fun way as well

Honestly.. a good combo of passionate i sight and classic TD
Most proper TD any TD fan enjoys can have really good nuances, but mainly technical and in that sense a lot of depth peculiar sides which can feel so right..
But this one something more than taste and logical sensations
a rewarding side for finger tips and nails into onto something
And also allowing at other times a more free feel of the right setup rewarding to you and ingame gains

Nothing extraordinary. It does what it says on the tin. Nothing more, nothing less...

I really enjoyed this game for 35 hours until level 5.4, but I cannot face the grind needed to get the necessary upgrades to complete that level, so I'm stopping now.

Towers are fairly balanced. Game is good. Need a AC2 already.

There are batter browser games for free. And it requires you to grind to progress.

Overall not a bad game, some of the art style is not for me.

(my opinion) An awesome tower defense game. Enough difference between levels, you need to adept playing style. A nice challenge. I did have to replay some earlier levels to pay for the upgrades to get passed later levels. An addictive game that burns away the hours. 40 levels! ... I wish there were 100 more. ;-)

One of the best tower defense games I have played.8\10
