1 - No real story to speak of. 2 - Doesn't look graphically bad. Not good, either. 3 - The game is... silent. Too silent. Doesn't bring any immersion. 4 - Stages take too long to get fun and once they do, they end. Wouldn't recommend it.

Fun God game. Taking out the people below with the typical 4 elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. You are only aloud to choose two per round so try to figure out some cool combinations of attacks you can do with certain elements and also take into consideration if the people are resistant to a certain element. I also love how you have this stronger super attack that you can pull off with each element, really adds to the "I'm over powered" feeling. Another nice time killing game.

Gets boring pretty quickly. The starting levels are too slow and by the time it gets challenging it's past boring. The sound loops fairly poorly as well and is like a sparatic fly in your ear.

Ok, I like the Bible, I like the Old Testament, I like games and stories that are borderline sacriligous. I really don't care for this game. The premise is you have powers, like lightning bolts, or fireballs, or whatever, and you are going to throw them at people to stop them from building a tower. It's a little fun to hear the high pitched screams, but I found myself fighting with the controls and not enjoying it.

[h1] Babel Falling [/h1] [b] What I Liked [/b] The premise was good, I guess. [b] What I Did Not Like [/b] In the very short time I played this game, I didn't like it. The graphics were poor, the gameplay was bland, and it just bored me. Unfortunately I purchased the game prior to the refund system being in place. Had it been in place, I would have refunded it. [b] Why I Stopped Playing [/b] Didn't like it, at all. [b] Disclaimer [/b] I have been a gamer for over 30 years. I tend to play mostly PC games. I also bounce around between games A LOT. I may purchase a $60 game and play it for 2 hours or spend $10 on a game and spend 50 hours on it. Even if I played a game a short time, it does not mean it is bad. It just means another game caught my attention. I also complain about flaws in games a lot, even about the littlest of things. Keep that in mind when reading my reviews. If I do not have a complaint, then the game must be special!

[I]3500 years ago, a student in Babylon did the inevitable and carved jokes about "beer," "intercourse," and "your mother" into a tablet. Now researchers have done the inevitable and published an elevated dissection of said jokes in a reputable journal. Anyway...[/I] Babel rising is a simple game where you are tasked with preventing the construction of the titular tower of Babel using a variety of elemental powers. You can only pick two out of the four elements, and the tower can be built in three different eras, which helps to add a little variety. Not enough however, as the game is very repetitive and the fun of blowing up the little humans doesn't take terribly long to turn into a slog. [h1]Good[/h1] -the 2 player versus mode is pretty fun -explosions sending people flying everywhere -plays smoothly and does everything it says on the can [h1]Bad[/h1] -Gets old fast, desperately needs more variety -the boat shooting mini game is terrible -you never get to make all the people speak different languages and start killing each other as a power and you really should All in all a quick throw away game, mainly worthwhile for the 2 player mode. If you want it get it on special as I don't think it's worth the asking price, but it's not BAD, just not very good [h1]2.5/5[/h1]

Babel Rising gives us a tower defense game where you play the role of a God. You have 4 powers, earth, water, wind and fire and they all come with 3 powers. Left-clicking executes the most basic spell, and it's mostly used for small groups. Right-clicking allows you to take out multiple enemies and finally holding the middle mouse button will grant you the most powerful spell, like a flood or a rolling boulder. With these powers your goal is to stop the villagers from building a tower. If they complete it, it's game over. You have no other abilities or towers (except for your powers) to stop them so it's a bit primitive for a tower defense game. So far I wouldn't recommend it. No, you're better off with TD games like Orcs Must Die or Anomaly. [Rating: 56/100]

I thought this would be a cool physics game where you could destroy the tower. Boy was I in for a disappointment. You basically just shoot little people over and over, sometimes with different sequences of powers. It's dull, repetitive gameplay. So dull. Not a god game, not a physics game. Just something that plays like one of those early 80's video games but with nicer graphics.

EDIT: More urgently than my original review below, this game flat out DOES NOT RUN on many modern graphics cards, and it's been made clear there are zero plans to provide support in the future. DO NOT BUY. This game concept, character models, and sound effects are all what I'd call "cute". The gameplay, however, falls short of anything appealing. It may have been decent had the campaign missions been a bit shorter and if your powers had more variety, but when the game tasked me to drop rocks on workers' heads for 10 minutes straight, the novelty of the goofy death screams quickly wore off. In short, Babel Rising is a towering example of a game that's simplistic and repetitive to a fault. Pass over it.
