LAB Defence Reviews

LAB Defence is another Unity Asset flip from serial asset store abusers, SRS Games. This one is a ripoff of someone's point defense wave survival game where you sit in the middle of a room and shoot waves of enemies that approach you. You can't move around, just shoot. That's all there is to this shovelware. SRS Games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1101760]Crazy Driver[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/endless-car-chase-game-template-116027]Endless Car Chase Game Template[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1053000]PLANES ATTACK[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/2d-top-down-shooter-destroy-the-planes-infinite-mobile-game-67354]2D Top Down Shooter - Destroy The Planes (Infinite Mobile Game)[/url] developed by Steelkrill Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1138320]AREA 51 - DEFENCE[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/attack-zombie-mobile-tps-2-0-75434]Attack Zombie Mobile TPS[/url] developed by SURIYUN [/list] Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected in the general public reception. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. That's right, only 2. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in the game is to be expected. Gamers just didn't take this low quality game seriously, and for good reason. LAB Defence is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. [b]Note:[/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not count towards your Game Collector counts, achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.

This game is pretty good. I'd say all it really needs is more content, but for what I paid (during the sale) I got some good content.

It's just a demo, not a game. Demos are free... nobody needs to pay for unfinished work. What's more, the developer has a habit of copying other people's work in very poor quality and selling it.

This is unfinished game demo. Only 4 levels and only 3 upgraded robots to buy. Should be free to play in current state.
