FieldRunners - PC Game Review
FieldRunners is a tower defense game. And for various reasons, it is one of the worst I have ever played as a download (probably some flash-based ones beat it).
The graphics are nice. Given the existence of several high quality 3D tower defense games, I find their statement of "visually stunning" to be simply absurd.
The music is incredibly annoying after a couple of minutes. And the gameplay is just terrible. There is basically no introduction - just a "your enemies will come from here", there are your towers (not actually explaining anything about them, of course - just pointing to the 4 icons).
There are tower definitions, but only on the help, which is only available from the main screen instead of the game settings screen. Also, I can't help but think that the first time you play you could just show the help or the least have a button that takes you there.
The enemies are repetitive and it is too easy to keep going with more and more waves till the next level unlock. Not that the next level will improve things.
Also, I have rarely seen an apparently more keyboard adverse game. I didn't see any keyboard shortcuts for placing towers, upgrading, or placing more than one tower at once - making all interaction even more annoying.
Overall, I really, really didn't like it. Really not recommended at all.
