Zotrix - Solar Division Reviews

How the developers can justify selling this game at £10.99 I will never know. This is a rip-off, pure and simple. Stay well away.

In this tower defence game you're supposed to defend different stations around the galaxy each with three levels of challenge. Each station has it's own style, look & feel and you can choose between three different difficulty levels. Game's nice and has it's own take on the tower defence genre, worth a try for TD fans. :-]

Good game, but doesnt work on my new MacBook Pro made in mid 2016. The display is stuck in a unrecoverable resolution that puts all of the user interface off screen and unavailable. I got luckhy once and managed to click what sounded like a button (hear a little sound effect like you get when scrolling over something you can click on) and managed to change the resolution to fit. I thought I was in luck, but alas no such luck. I quit the game after an hour playing (and REALLY liking the game), then thinking all was well since i changed the resolution to fit it would start right up same as I last set it to. Nope. Same oversized interface again. Couldnt get lucky off screen again, and gave up. The developer exoplained that they are looking intio this issue with the newer MacBook Pro models. New models often have new display needs, or settings. That said, I would suggest if you have a MacBook Pro made in mid 2016 or newer, wait until a new update comes that addresses the issue. This is a fun tower defense game and if I could play it, I would totally recommend it for everybody. Just not new MBPro users, yet. UPDATED REVIEW Windowed mode put the game in a unresponsive state. It looked right, but did not respond to any mouse clicks. It was like clicking on a screen shot. This game does NOT work on newer MBPs. After seeing there was an update recently, I messaged the developer asking for clarification about the screen issues and if they were fixed yet? I offered to help test it and buy the upodated version after it was fixed. He seemed genuinely annoyed with me. Even told me "it works fine" & "Tough Luck". OK that was uncalled for. Failed at customer service 101 I tried to explain that I liked the game and only wanted to help. Then long story short he finally told me (in contradiction to earlier statements) that they "know about the problems with all their games on new MBP's" and are working on it:steamfacepalm:. Really? OK? He couldve just told me that in the first place. I beleive in trying to help when I can and support good development, but the BS about it "works fine" and saying "tough luck" then later contractict himself by saying they know about the problem (remember, having just heard from the same guy it "works fine") and will update their games in a month or so leaves a bad taste in my mouth. All I wanted to know was if or when it would be fixed, offered help, offered to purchase again once fixed. I didnt need a rude run around. I was just trying to help. do NOT buy. :steambored:

This game reminds me of a flash game I used to play back in 2008-9. Seems like the same developer built more on top of the really simple concept including stages, different modes and new tower types. Love it. Thanks! Dangerously addicting for such a simple concept! Definitely worth the money.

One of those games that you think about hourrs later. Still seems to be a few bugs, but makes you think about alternate strategies every time you fail. Did not think I would like the idea of leaderboards, but it certainly keeps you focused with the thought - what could I have done better!!

Well, I must admit that I’m not a bit surprised but surprised like I didn’t think was possible. I was put down by the images and I thought “another tower defense game.” But seeing that the game is currently on sale (2016-04-27) I thought I’ll give it a go (god forbid the wife finds out). I started playing and soon found myself enjoying the game a lot. It starts of easy and then progressively more difficult - as expected because games does not become progressively easier :). The point being that the game is easy to grasp, has the potential to be very addictive and for the price a lot of fun. The look of the towers has room for improvement though. So although I don’t have a lot of game time and I’m not a hardcore tower defense nerd (neither a reviewer of games), I will strongly recommend this game.

One of those games that Steam could really use a "Neutral" opinion rather than just YES! or NO! Basically: Recommended IF on sale. I love the Tower Defense genre, and this is a fairly decent one. However, that's all it is: Decent. The levels are repetitive and uninteresting, the graphics (Should you care about such a thing) aren't that stellar (harr harr), and the towers are alright but not spectacularly balanced. The more expensive ones are hardly worth using. One nice thing is you have different modes to play for each level you unlock though. Would I recommend this? "Yes.... But only when on sale, and only if you're not expecting anything amazing or unique". Basically, it's not worth the $15 asking price, but if you catch it at a substantial discount and have some spare change, there's no harm in at least giving it a try. Otherwise, I'd pass it and go for Dungeon Warfare 1 or 2, GemCraft, or so on.

A generic tower defense offering generic maps where you defend your base from unidentifiable critters while a generic voice repeats the same sentences at every mouse click. This game furiosly needs a graphic designer, a level designer and an English translator. There are flash TD games that offer a better experience for free. On the positive side, the developer seems very active. This is my first refund ever.

A solid Entry in a long forgotten Genre I don´t get why noone plays this game. I scored in the top 5 on every single level i played and judging by the number of reviews, either the genre itself has been forgotten, or this game is burried deep within steam so noone can find it... Sure, it doesn´t look amazing, the soundeffects are absolutly horrible (my opinion) and it lacks a bit of clarity in some cases (be it the enemy lines overlaping in circles so you can´t exactly see where they will go or the lack of explenations on which unit belongs to what type). But still, the mechanics work great, the levels are challenging and there are a lot of modes to play. There´s also a checkpoint function similar to the one in Defense Grid where this game took a lot of its inspiration. There is enough content here to make me easily recommend it to you. After all, there aren´t that many TDs on Steam that have a great mechanic so if you´re interested in that genre, check out this game. it easily makes my top 10 list of TDs on Steam...

Extremely buggy in a lot of major aspects (especially with regard to the speed up feature). Poor game balance, and very little variation in terms of how/where to build towers. Level design is especially poor. There are a lot of much cheaper Tower Defense games out there that are a lot better in every way than this game.
