Super Sanctum TD - PC Game Review
Super Sanctum TD is a retro style Tower Defense game, based on Sanctum (which Sanctum 2 ad copy calls the first FPS Tower Defense hybrid, even when the first called itself one of the first...).
Frankly, I wasn't planning on buying it, but it was free when you got Sanctum 2 on pre-order, and it was so cheap I couldn't resist.
Basically, you get a 3D top/side view of the level. It probably would be easier to view on a real top-view, but then it'd look more like a 2D game.
Graphics and sound are fairly OK for a retro game. For some reason 1024x768 seems to be the only resolution - this is tiny on a full HD monitor and quite annoying. Music is just repetitive and bound to irritate anyone after a few minutes.
Gameplay is almost OK. You place towers and upgrades, as usual for TD. You also get some selectable powers that can be used directly, such as causing explosions (on a place or on the whole field) or teleporting enemies back to the start.
There are a few nice strategy options, such as choosing only a few tower types you can get per level, as well as the direct powers. You also a progression with extra points you can apply for bonus.
Overall, I didn't like it. The gameplay is not enjoyable and I feel like I'm just waiting for the level to end...
Not recommended.
