Snailiens

Wow. This game is clunky and the graphics are very very low quality. I regret purchasing.

I tried to like this but had to give up on it because it was too janky.

There are some great first-person tower defense games out there, such as Orcs Must Die. Snailiens isn’t one of them.

It’s shallow, the controls are clumsy, and the graphics blocky and simplistic.

***PAST REVIEW***
I've played a lot of tower defense games and most of which had a challenge to it, for this game however, i love the thought of it/ the plot/ the look, but it just was not challenging. I played the first couple rounds and there was no real threat, you could just make a maze, put up some turrets and call it a day. If anything to make this game more immersive I suggest giving the bigger snails more health to deal with. Now I don't know if the game becomes more challenging as the game goes on but it was just very slow passed. I went as far as the very loud little drone general and just called it quits.


***NEW REVIEW***
I'm really glad I decided to give this game another chance after my last time playing it. Saw the developers notes on my previous review and decided to re-purchase(I want to support the game) and try the game once more. Started a new adventure and it feels WAY different than the first time I played. Snails are faster, building mechanic is stronger, and It doesn't feel so one sided. I actually have to think about placement now for walls and other defensive items. Happy to see this game grow and developers who take the time for feedback, great job. Thank you for the free Key choice as well but again I want to support these type of games. This tower defense really stands out from others I've played well done.

This game is a blend of tower defense and FPS. It blends the two together beautifully! The price asked for this game is a STEAL for what you are getting!

Understanding that it is in EA, the game is better than most of the fully released games for VR so far! The graphics and animations are top notch! Aiming is precise. Movement is done with a teleport system - which I don't mind at all. I play hours at a time and I do not feel the least bit motion sick nor do I have any headaches, which does happen (one or the other - or both) to me in some other games...

The game saves the level you are at and the weapons you unlocked automatically if you exit, which is nice as I have a tendency to take my headset off and close the game with the mouse, rather than the in game exit steps.

I've completed the game up to the convention center with no issues at all. The beginning tutorial is appropriate to show you how to play, and you can repeat it as needed to get the hang of things.

NOTE: you MUST have the sound on (either thru speakers or earbuds) as the tutorial is talking you thru some activities. I did not have my sound on and thought the game was broken and restarted it twice. When I turned on the speakers, I heard what I was supposed to do.

I very highly recommend this game! I am very much looking forward to seeing what else the developer does with the game as it nears release. The passion the team has for details and quality are apparent in the polish of this EA release.

I can't bestow enough kudos to this game or the development team! If you are a fan of tower defense - get this game... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

UPDATE:

The developer is really quick to respond to issues/problems with a patch to address them. Within just a couple hours they had a patch out for an audio issue I had. TOP NOTCH TEAM!
