Band of Defenders Reviews

I liked the concept of the game but the actual gameplay itself was terrible. The game mode was either too hard or too easy but it all felt like this game was released a year too early, so full of glitches and confusing options and controls. Maybe I'll check back in about a year. There wasn't much I could have done differently to make this game more-enjoyable.

first of its not a bad game but I was hoping for more gameplay the last update was 6 months ago and it only has content for about 20 hours if you think its enough for 14 € ok have fun with the game thats all i have to say. PS thx for reading have a nice day

Bought this about a week ago and ended up refunding it. It seemed to have a lot of potential while I was playing through the tutorial. But after playing 2 missions back to back that stopped spawning enemies on wave 6 and 10 respectively. (Making them uncompletable). I decided it was a little to buggy for me.

If this had more players I think this would be a more fun game. Even giving it that, this tower defense game doesn't quite hit home. I would prefer more opportunity to work on the base building aspect of this, but it's over in no time flat. Since there's no other players around, it doesn't add up to much defense before the match begins. The potential was there but it didn't take off.

This game has potential but it really isn't there yet. Tastes like early access. I mean, one of the game modes is literally not available yet. I mean - why? This is a fully released game right? The guns and sound effects just feel so unsatisfying. Like placeholder sound effects. The voice acting is uncomfortably bad. However, I do thank them very much for making it an option to turn off character speech. They say the same 3 things (poorly) over and over and over again. After one round of this I was losing my mind. I played about 3 rounds and felt like I'd experienced the whole game. Only thing I didn't get to enjoy was the endless grind for loot box items. This set up doesn't add enough to the game for me or long term enjoyment. I expect they will improve over time, but for now. Its a pass unfortunately.

I wanted to like the game as much as the videos glorified it, but I just cannot even recommend the game even on sale. Game is a hard pill to swallow; the moment I booted the game I realized 2 great flaws with it. -Game CANNOT be played offline! CLIENT BASED SERVER! meaning if the DEV decides to shut it down you will be unable to even access the game! -Antivirus exception is real! Don't really want to troubleshoot a game when I boot it up the first time. And I don't really want to disable my AV just to find out what makes the game tick! Don't get me wrong the game is enjoyable to an extent but only if you had someone to play with. And if you can skip the fact that you: -Can't jump over your barricades (EVEN WITH JUMP BUTTON!) -Are playing a game made that feels and sound like halfmade UNITY content -See mindless AI running about -Loot box progression unlock (INGAME not real money!) -Lack wave prep options/pause/forward -Have extremely limited tutorial -Don't single player OFFLINE! [h1] TLDR [/h1] If the DEV wants to shut down the server, you are unable to play the game again. Save your money, go buy a beer or something to snack on.

Bought this game because I love tower games and of course its INDIE. There is a build and repair phase between each wave, and you can craft weapons you've unlocked on the fly. This is fast a paced action, great with teams, the crafting and chest rewards are a nice perk for beating each match, as you advance and unlock more loot and level up. Last wave has a boss fight. Takes serious team work to beat the harder levels. I think this will be a huge hit. Sound effects are fantastic, graphics are smooth and great FPS even on epic settings. Love the voice acting, and the start of the game has a nice quick tutorial. Within 30 mins I think i unlocked 20 Achievements. The in game voice chat is a nice bonus.

lol this game is FREAKING AWESOME the more I play it the more I love it, seriously (not sarcasm) this is easily one of the best games on Steam, takes fps 'skill', has all kinds of upgrades and weapons and turrets and barricades to get, all kinds of strategies to try out and test, has solo and multiplayer etc etc -Easily- one of the most under-rated games on steam, and maybe one of the biggest 'hidden gems' I ever played in my whole gaming life. Anyone down-voting this either came in with massive preconceptions about the game or was expecting something else, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this game other than it's too short (lol), and has tons of awesome things going for it. Shame on people for not giving it a chance or whining about stupid stuff when they play it (like "I'm not getting items fast enough!!!11" or "it's too Hard WAAAaahhhHHHHHhh" etc ) ------ I've had more fun in the first hour of this than playing Monster Hunter World for 30+ hours (I'm not even joking) This is the perfect example of a game that's simple looking, simple to play, and simply 'fun' in the process, MHW is the perfect example of the opposite, all kinds of fancy graphics, fancy mechanics, deep layered gaming systems, but so awkward and convoluted you're just trying to find that moment when you're actually 'having fun' and it rarely comes.. This game relies equally on your fps 'skill' and the items you get --And-- the strategy you take laying things out, part of the fun (and 'confusion' when first trying it out) is playing and getting your items from chests as you level up/get xp etc, many people don't realize obviously you're supposed to 'suck' when you start out, if you don't have that silly " I Want to Win No000WWWwwWW!!! " attitude then give it time and you'll get cool stuff as you play, getting new and better items drastically changes the gameplay and fun you have as things such as " I don't have enough time to build between waves " nonsense, as many items actually help increase the rate which you do things (such as 'repair' tables that allow you to instantly repair damage to stuff instead of having to hammer at them multiple times), and in fact makes the review of Mack the Worth-A-Buy guy (who I think is great but I do -not- agree with his review of this game) pointless, cause his big gripe is 'lack of time' to build but honestly if you use the fast-hold-the-mouse-button mechanic given to you (plus the items that speed things up) it's actually quite reasonable, and in fact adds to the fun and 'tension' of the game. Tips - - - do not lay things out unless you can completely 'surround' an object (like a turret etc), otherwise they will just go to the opening and bust the turret. That simply means don't build anything for the first few waves, that will allow you to have more money and time (later waves give more time and money to build) to built a turret and surround it completely with upgraded blocks. Doing so will mean that turret will easily survive and from there you just strategically build more turrets etc. - Do not forget you can create 'barricade' lines (of blocks) straight across the map to prevent enemies (especially bombers) from reaching your base!! -- Another important tip - you can build healing kits and grenades, useful for preparing for bosses etc. ---- Basically, this game is one of those rare finds (especially nowadays) that doesn't have polish or mega funding, but is a good idea and relatively well executed and is actually 'fun' to play, It's like those xbox 360 games nobody told you about, you thought looked 'cheesy' in the pics, but you took a chance, bought it, and were pleasantly surprised to find it was one of the most fun games you played in a long while. Definite thumbs up, it's sucks to think it's one of those really fun games that will take forever to find people to play with cause nobody knows about it lol, (as for me I'm gonna buy it for my friends cause that's the best way to both support the devs and find people to play with lol) Give it a shot it's a lot more fun than most Triple-A cr-p nowadays.. : P.. (excuse my language, lol.. )

This is the definition of a great, fun idea with poor execution. Read the community hub before buying! So many players upset with the developers. I shouldn't have purchased this and immediately have requested a refund. Pros: Lots of fun, cool ways to setup base fortifications Cons: Zero multiplayerbase Very difficult to solo play even on easy mode No mouse speed control (it feels very slow by default) Really DUMB AI I'm sorry to leave such a bad review, I was genuinely excited to try this game but it's really not worth even $15...

I refunded because the game offers not much... The content is just so small, yes there is fun to be had but its just not as good as other cooperative games on the market, like killing floor 2 or recently Deep Rock Galactic.. This game is therefore average in fun and in content, i dont recommend. If the devs seriously re.thought the game i would give it another go, but now its not a good one, to me.
