![]() This in turn complicates attempts at concentrating the firepower of the defences (which is certainly a necessity in tower defence games). Sessions with these modes are tougher, mainly due to stretches of paths that might not be parallel to each other. The two-way and three-way modes implement two and three distinct paths to the tower. The player can concentrate most defences between the tower and the first junction on the path away from the tower. The one-way mode is the easiest, obviously so because of there being only one path leading to the tower, regardless of how many branches are ahead. The modes determine the number of distinct paths that lead to the tower. Speaking of which, prior to the start of any session, the player has to choose one of three modes. If the map of the current session appear to lack these, the player would be in trouble, especially if the player is playing the two-way or three-way modes. Indeed, the outcome of sessions greatly depend on the occurrence of such paths and how much that the player can exploit them. These are places where the player might want to place defences, so that they can cover more than one approach. ![]() All paths lead to it although the paths do not cross each other, they might be closely parallel to each other at some turns and stretches. ![]() The main tower does absolutely nothing, unfortunately. This indicates the onset of the final and nastiest wave. Every branch of the paths that is revealed represents an additional avenue through which enemies can encroach on the tower.Įventually, if the player’s defences can withstand the waves, the map for the current session would be revealed entirely. The options are limited by the paths that have been revealed junctions provide more options, though not for the better. That said, the game generates potential options for expanding the game world upon the end of a wave. Unfortunately, doing so also happens to trigger the next wave of invaders. Thus, if the player wants to take them down before they get too close, the player has to reveal more of the game world. Enemies come from beyond the boundaries of the tile. The first thing that the player sees in the game is the first tile of the game world, and on which the tower stands. It is obvious that this run is going to end with a loss. However, there are a lot of them, the resources to make the towers are limited and the player cannot see where the enemies are coming from until much later. For whatever reason, very stupid armies are trying to get into it, but they seem to be incapable of doing anything about the towers that can be placed along the path that they are restricted to. There is no exposition, other than what can be implied from greenskins, undead, demons, robots (of all things) and Lovecraftian horrors trying to storm an ominous-looking tower that is protected by seemingly autonomous machines with destructive weapons.Īnyway, the player character is the master of a tall tower and its defences. To say that Rogue Tower has a story is an overstatement. Unfortunately, despite its implementation of rogue-lite elements, Rogue Tower is not an exception to this pattern. ![]() The tower defence sub-genre may not be as old as the others in the category of strategy games, but it is one that wears out its welcome just as quickly as it can rope people in.
