IRON GUARD Reviews

There is a lot here, but it really doesn't come together to make a game I want to play. As a result, I cannot recommend it. I only got a short distance in, beating the tutorial, and trying the first level. As a result I have only seen one tower, but it seems to upgrade once, and has no targeting. This is odd as the game actually warned my that the faster units would have an edge if my towers were targeting the stronger units, odd information if I can do nothing about it. My personal pet peeve is the addition of a flying unit I zip around in, I prefer tower defense games that focus on the towers. Clearly without me, the towers are not enough, and I have to constantly click-click-click, rough on my old bones. It doesn't help that the flight controls feels very sloppy and awkward. Very hard to move a short distance. Given that the map in quite a bit bigger than my immediate field of view, you would think a mini-map would have been an obvious feature, but no, making it hard to know where I am needed. The game visuals are a mixed bag, the terrain looks interesting, but the enemies are too tiny to really differentiate. According to the game, I have seen three enemy types so far, but they all look like tiny black dots. For those who are still considering the game, there does seem to be two tactical options, and strategic upgrade set-up, always nice, and the game hints at there perhaps being pathing later on. The game only allows you to build towers in pre-set locations though, and any pathing would be limited to following a slightly longer pre-existing road, not maze making. I do like the fluff, something a lot of games lack, but you can skip over it, which is good as I get the impression you will be repeating maps, given that the base is pretty fragile. All in all though, not something I expect to play much more that the thirty minutes I have played so far. I do like to give a game more of a chance, but this offering really hurts my hand. One thumb down.

เป็นเกมแนววางกลยุทธ์ เล่นสนุกดี บางด่านก็ยาก ต้องสังเกตการออกมาของศัตรู แล้วปรับแต่งป้อมปืนให้รองรับ เพื่อยิงให้ระเบิกก่อนเข้าถึงฐาน

I play a lot of TD games and picked this one up for the VR aspect of it. Before diving into VR, I decided to try the Screen version first: it's okay. This is a run-of-the mill TD game with no strong differentiation and mid-low quality. The vibe is trying for nostalgic CnC with its voice, sound effects, and music, but think general low effort instead of the cheeky campiness of the CnC universe. The guitar riffs are grating and jarring in the soundtrack and the voice is a low-quality voice bank and has poor grammar. The gameplay is run-of-the mill, slow-paced, and generally more about working out the best pathway for the run after at least one failed playthrough, which you don't have any sort of indicator how many units are coming or which type, only direction, so often you're left realizing 3/4 of the way through the waves your layout is literally infeasible because you don't have enough tower slots to spend your money on, nor do you have effective enough upgrades to beat the waves with your current config, so it's all about knowing where to place the barricades for upcoming waves you know nothing about. Some of these issues may iron out later on in the game, but looking through the available upgrades down the line I would be working towards, I don't foresee any excitement coming from this title. Editing to throw in an alternate TD suggestion: X-Morph Defense. The last hour of my time in this game made me crave a return to X-Morph Defense. If the Dev of this title is looking for a direction to improve, this is what I suggest. It is a very similar title that gets right everything this one is currently getting wrong.

Great game, really recommend it, the only problem I have with it is that some new enemies are coming way too late into the game it should be fun to have them early, Like the jammer that should have come faster. Something that need to be fixed so the mission that you need to "Download" and when its comming up to 100% the match its over, but i found a way to really cheese those mission with you let the flayers spawn and let them shoot me and becouse they cant kill me i just sitt there for the game to be over you shuld maybe fix so you cant do that. Other small problem its that the start tower the machingun its way to op and can complete the game almost by it self the only mission i didt need that was the last mission level 30 becouse i just use the laser gun and delete everything haha

Graphics: I feel like I'm playing a mobile game Controls: every single action is left click, including shooting and build and selling building level design: I don't think they play tested their levels, everything's fun until you're stuck and need to grind upgrades

A very fun stratergy game and a steal at this price, I tried the VR and the flat screen, both are amazing and have a very different experience . Good job devs.

It's a good game. It's not among my favorites. I think it is great for new comers to the genre, or casual players who want to try different types of games. I think most seasoned tower defense fans will agree with my assessment - good, moderately entertaining, but not among the best. The most important reason for my assessment is that it is relatively simple and so does not have the engagement that comes from more complex games in this genre. There are only three towers, with limited upgrades. There is also a drone, but you control it with the keyboard, or a game controller. With the game controller, it is not smooth and generally cumbersome to use. It works better with the keyboard, but I find that not as effective or entertaining as a mouse for these type of games. There is lots of story telling, but frankly, it is too much blah, blah, blah. Luckily you can skip it most of the time. You don't buy these games for the story. I have almost never liked the stories associated with these types of games, unless they are funny and witty (example: Revenge of the Titans). Then, you can laugh and enjoy the game more. In this game, the story is serious and just not engaging.

A fun tower defense game, easier at times, quite challenging at others, great graphics and music, intriguing story for tower defense game. I highly recommend using (if not upgrading) the electric (slow) turret, it was a game changer for me once i started using it. Also, don't forget to funnel targets with the barricades, when available. ::)

Not what i expected to be. But it has that Sol Survivor and Anomaly warzone vibes however that is not that issue. The issue is the fact that player gets stressed out right of the bat by starting very first MISSION with 4 different enemy entrances and exits (shouldnt this be a thing in a mid game?) and top of that with fixed building spots. Im fan of TD games i have played various TDs and non of them has this stressful beginning. The fact that enemy models are so tiny i can barely spot them and guess what, enemies leaked in first mission. This should never happen in first missions where enemies leak in beginning plus add 12 waves on top of that. Lol. I tired to perfect the mission so i restarted it and again enemies somehow manage to leak, the hell is that? Why restarted ? Because this game does not have rewind feature.
