Jazzpha Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2012 776 16 18 #2 Jazzpha, Feb 8, 2013 If TD gameplay strikes me as just a bit too monotonous (as in, the waiting period between setting up towers while the waves just die kills the momentum) do the anomaly games switch the formula up enough to keep the player constantly engaged? It seems like they do, but I'd love to hear the thoughts of some vets before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Thanks! mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #3 mrbiggles, Feb 8, 2013 so many of these type games im sure everyone has one, unless there is something unique added its same old thing. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #4 syntheticvoid, Feb 8, 2013 I know exactly what you mean - it's what keeps me from really getting into the TD genre... but with the Anomaly titles and the reverse TD formula, it does keep you busy for the most part. There are some parts where you'll need to wait until you move on and reach the next group of enemies, but there is a FF button, and this usually only happens when you take the time to make a route to kill all of the enemies in a section, usually leaving you in the back of the area... But yes... for the most part, you are constantly engaged, more so in Anomaly Korea since you've got extra units that you need to pay attention to while they charge up shots, and then tap on the screen to fire, blah blah... I'd go with Korea if you're really worried about breaks in action. =oP Jazzpha Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2012 776 16 18 #5 Jazzpha, Feb 8, 2013 Sounds good. Thanks for taking the time to reply! Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #6 Exact-Psience, Feb 8, 2013 The only tower defense games i really liked are PVZ and Sentinel series. The others i loved are Dungeon Defenders and Elements Defender which felt more than just placing towers as you move around killing stuff yourself. More so, Anomaly titles are waaaay different than these, in a way that it doesnt fel like a tower defense title at all... You are there to actually crush these towers now, so in essence, you wont even be defending. And these have been staples on my ithings as long as i can remember. Im sure you'd like it. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #7 Greyskull, Feb 8, 2013 I haven't played any games in the Anomaly series, but essentially, you play as the "creeps" right? Not the towers? Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #8 Exact-Psience, Feb 8, 2013 That's the idea... Actually you are the creeps' controller, coz you throw stuff at your own creeps to strengthen them, heal, avoid certain types of attacks etc. And you also dictate the path they take... tops2 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2011 2,067 44 48 #9 tops2, Feb 8, 2013 They have a demo for the PC on Steam if you want to try it out to see if it fits your style. I used to love tower defense games back in college..but find it hard to get into them now a days. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #10 Greyskull, Feb 8, 2013 The main reason they bore me is because most of them aren't truly strategy games, though they usually pretend to be (well, that and the preposterous number of td games that have been released). The actual gameplay for most TD games is closer in line with puzzle games.

SyKot Well-Known Member Sep 10, 2012 55 0 0 #12 SyKot, Feb 8, 2013 Which one should I get? Card Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 818 6 18 Toronto Canada #13 Card, Apr 29, 2013 $1.99 again. rezzo Well-Known Member Apr 14, 2012 134 0 16 #14 rezzo, Apr 29, 2013 Same question here. Anomaly Korea or Anomaly Warzone Earth? (for use only in a iPhone 5) AaronLee Well-Known Member Dec 28, 2011 98 0 0 Interactive Designer Philadelphia #15 AaronLee, Apr 30, 2013 Yep, wondering that myself. Going to get one for sure, but which is the best to start with? awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #16 awp69, Apr 30, 2013 Personally, I like Korea better. For some reason -- and maybe it's just that I suck -- the first one seemed to ramp up the difficulty fairly quickly. But Korea seems to ease you into it more (and it's not necessary to play the first one). Both are great games. To me, they're more fun than traditional TDs. phrenik Well-Known Member Feb 22, 2012 239 0 0 Nurse City of Coffee #17 phrenik, Apr 30, 2013 Might as well get the newest one,Mather if you like it enough get the first. It is the same fundamentals, Korea just adds an extra ish units, more enemy types and special helping skills. Both are great, I did not hesitate to pay full price when Korea came out, and feel it was worth it. It's a very fun game, one of the only few td like games that I finished. I have to agree with the others about td games on the ios. They just don't have the same feel from the ums games on Starcraft and Warcraft days! If I knew how to program etc, I would have tried to make a few lol. But that's besides the put, this isn't boring at all like many "standard" td's on the ios platform where all you basically do is placement of tower and upgrade (oversimplified, but you get the idea). For this reverse td, you pick your unit/upgrade (applies only for that unit that level) with the slotted cash and start, buy units when you get more cash, and destroy the towers. As the overseer of your units, you can also use special skills like heal in an area etc. (don't want to spoil all the skills you get), or tap buttons when an enemy is blocking your ability to use skills I etc. highly recommended, especially on sale rezzo Well-Known Member Apr 14, 2012 134 0 16 #18 rezzo, Apr 30, 2013 Thanks for the tips, I bought Anomaly Korea. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 1,997 145 63 #19 orangecan, Apr 30, 2013 There's no point in buying Korea if you have a touch 4th gen as it crashes on level 6 (or about there) and you can't get past it.
