I don't genuinely recommend this game, as it's pretty much dead these days, but I think it would be unfair to give it a negative review.

This game is a genuine masterpiece that was overlooked. By god is this game absolutely gorgeous. Whoever the artists are for this game should give themselves a standing ovation because this is one of the most creative, characterized, and GORGEOUS games of all time. I remember when I first played this game some odd 10 years ago I thought it looked absolutely stunning and I still think it does today. The UI in this game has a lot of character but it loses zero functionality. The only issue is this game wasn't built for today's larger monitors- but that's expected.

The overall direction of this game is just perfect. The gameplay design is great and fun. It's really difficult to get this kind of gameplay idea executed correctly and they nailed it. There's some great back and forth tug of war and the positive feedback loops are managed and designed quite well. Have to focus on defense for a bit? Well that means your opponent is forgoing their defense which can give you the perfect opportunity to knock them down a peg.

The writing is very, very, very charming in this. This will touch up on the art direction thing again but all of the towers, animations, characters are characterized. There's cute little lines that play when you unlock a unit and hearing the king yell "Single file, and to the death!" every time I send out my lil army brings a smile to my face.

There will never be a Tower Wars 2. Which is a damn shame. But at least the bots in this game are pretty good. You'll get your ass handed to you by the level 1 bot until you understand the game but once it clicks then you'll have a good time. Enjoy this game for what it was rather than what it wasn't.
