Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Heya guys, we wanted to show off our game Tower Duel - a Multiplayer Real-Time Tower Defense Game It would be super awesome to get some feedback from you. Touch Arcade always had a great community so we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy Release Coupon: "toucharcadeforum" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- can be redeemed in the settings menu of the game Inspiration, Influences, Concept Mobile Games are often looked down upon as being casual and boring by the more ambitious players in todays gaming community. We started out with the vision to develop a mobile game, that would challenge this stereotype. Thus, the gameplay and mechanics should be easy to grasp, yet incorporate high strategic complexity for the more ambitious players to explore. Regarding the core-concept we settled for a combination of tower defense and offense - a major inspiration for this was certainly the infamous WarCraft III Mod Line Tower Wars , which we all played enthusiastically in our childhood. After two years of development and one year of Beta-testing and experimenting with countless variations of the game, we ultimately created a completely new tower defense experience. With its openness to a huge audience (almost anyone with a smartphone can play) and competitive focus, we actually believe Tower Duel has great potential to establish itself in the Streaming and eSports scene. Gameplay and Features The Tower Duel gameplay in a nutshell: Within a short 5-minute match, you defend your base with a tower maze, while at the same time attacking your opponents. The first player to break the opponents defenses with 30 units, wins and climbs up the TD leagues.The gameplay is competitive and challenging, as it requires fast-paced strategic skills. Hereby, the player faces many challenges and strategic choices in Tower Duel: - Selecting Attacker and Defender cards for their duel decks and playing them out at the right time. - Choosing a clever mazing strategy while facing varying battlefields from blank square fields to maps with multiple spawn end exit-points. - Managing the ingame economy efficiently by balancing between sending attacks and building defenses. - Finding the right time to boost towers and attackers up to three stages. - Picking out of a variety of strategies like Rushing, Midgame, Endgame, Turtle, Eco, or Spam. - Finding the right time to boost towers and attackers up to three stages. - Choose individual level-up paths for each card, to create unique strategies About Us We are a newly founded Games Company from Germany, Forest Ring Games, developing mobile games with a strong focus on competitive play, appealing to both casual and core players. Tower Duel will be our first game and the first step of our ambitious goal in bringing e-sports to mobile platforms. Check out http://www.towerduel.com if you want to know more or write us here. Bonus Material This shot was taken nearly one year ago. Imagine how the game will look one year from now Tower Duel - PvP TD Games Crit Crew GmbH You hear the crowd cheering louder as you are walking down the champion hallway… It is 2050. Something crazy happened. … Free Buy Now Watch Media DetailsYou hear the crowd cheering louder as you are walking down the champion hallway… It is 2050. Something crazy happened. It appears that most people traded their Football Jerseys, Basketballs and Baseball Bats for a deck of Tower Duel cards. The game is literally everywhere - In stadiums, on schoolyards, in office spaces. The Tower Duel inventor “Maxx King” is now world-famous, putting his face wherever he can – this morning you even saw it on your cereal box! You realize the crowd is cheering your name… You have spent weeks selecting your 4 Runner and 4 Tower Cards for this match. Runners destroy your opponent’s Power Core and Towers defend your own Power Core. Your opponent is a top player. His duels are frequently broadcasted worldwide and you have studied them all: He beats his opponents with the “Surfer” Card, which accelerates on straight paths. Most players build their towers in straight lines, making it easy for Surfers to reach and destroy their power cores. But not tonight! You look at the tower card in your hand - The Quad Striker. Its Energy Damage is highly effective against the Surfers Impulse Barrier. You also equipped it with the legendary Octa Striker Rune, making it shoot 8 projectiles instead of 4. A famous scientist recently calculated that due to the vast variety of runes, there are more card variations in Tower Duel than atoms in the Universe. How crazy is that?! You look at two Runner cards in your hand. The Marine and the Mech! They have served you well since the beginning of your journey. Some refer to Marines as cannon fodder, but they are invaluable when it comes to generating energy income: Building Towers or sending Runners costs energy. But! Every time you send Runners, your energy income increases. Simple! Send lots of Runners to get more energy in the long run! Your plan is to spam Marines early on, only to later afford The Mech! Mechs are expensive but extremely durable. You shiver from excitement imagining the look on your opponent’s face when that level 3 Mech wave hits his stadium half! The cheers reach their climax as you step on your podium inside the massive stadium. Your gaze wanders across thousands of cheering fans and flashing lights. You notice your opponent on the other side of the stadium and the hidden playfield between the two of you. Maxx King’s Hologram Face appears and shouts “3, 2, 1 GO!” and the Map unveils! Perfect! A small map, a few trees as obstacles, only one power core. You quickly place a few Quad Striker towers having them form a path with curves to slow down those Surfers. Next, you send a big wave of Marines fully depleting your energy balance. You joyfully notice that your energy counter now fills up twice as fast, while your opponent’s rocket tower crushes your Marines. WAIT! He only built one rocket tower? A few shielded Runners could end the game right here. BUT, sending Shield Spiders now does not fit in your grand master plan. You must decide now! Suddenly, the opponent's dropship hits your playfield … JETPACK MARAUDERS! WHEN DID HE START USING THAT CARD?! Terrified you watch how 5 Jetpack Marauders bypass your tower maze elegantly jumping over the first single tower and effortlessly reach your Power Core. … 14, 13, 12, 11, 10 LIFE POINTS LEFT!

MrKanister Well-Known Member Aug 5, 2017 57 0 6 Game developer Germany #14 MrKanister, Mar 21, 2018 Beta Testing We are currently testing our new tutorial on the Tower Duel Beta branch. Would anyone like to help us with some feedback? strategymaster90 Member Feb 15, 2018 24 0 1 #15 strategymaster90, Mar 26, 2018 Quad Striker I've seen a few opponents use the Quad Striker on me. It looks so cool! Does anybody know how exactly it works and how to use it the most effectively? MrKanister Well-Known Member Aug 5, 2017 57 0 6 Game developer Germany #16 MrKanister, Mar 26, 2018 First, place Quad Strikers across from each other so they automatically trigger themselves. Second, since they have unlimited range, they are best placed in far-off maze positions (but don't forget to trigger them with another Quad Striker!). Third, Quad Strikers are super effective at the beginning and end of straight maze lines (if you're not using a laser tower). What's your favorite tower so far? strategymaster90 Member Feb 15, 2018 24 0 1 #17 strategymaster90, Apr 1, 2018 Ah okay, that's super cool, thanks! I've seen on some opponents that they would place two right on the entrance, so they have a kind of "entrance bounce" (?) going on. That looked like such a cool start. I absolutely love the Rocket Tower....it's easy but effective - also I'm really trying to get this homing rocket level-up. That sounds like it will make it much better. I'd also really like to get Blast Chamber soon, they seem to be like rockets, but without the actually rocket - and stun! Can you recommend some other level-ups that I should consider for my Rocket Tower? MrKanister Well-Known Member Aug 5, 2017 57 0 6 Game developer Germany #18 MrKanister, Apr 3, 2018 Yes, this seems to be a strategy experienced players pick up more and more recently. New strategies are constantly arising and as a Dev, it's super exciting to see all those different approaches our players come up with. Sounds like a great idea! You always have the chance to reroll level-ups, so have fun designing unique cards and testing them out They are quite powerful but they have a low range in comparison to Rocket Towers. You can find more information on tower stats on our wiki: http://towerduel.wikia.com/wiki/Defender_Cards I usually go with Damage Level-Ups, but it completely depends on how you want to use your tower strategically. In our Tower Duel Wiki you can also find a description of all sorts of possible level-ups that will help you make a decision http://towerduel.wikia.com/wiki/Defender_Level-ups strategymaster90 Member Feb 15, 2018 24 0 1 #19 strategymaster90, Apr 4, 2018 It's really cool to hear that many new strategies are still coming up. Maybe the next famous one will be mine Nice, that you have a wiki! Can everybody contribute to it? Do you also collect strategies somewhere or have people that I could ask for theirs? Okay thank you. I will keep that in mind! MrKanister Well-Known Member Aug 5, 2017 57 0 6 Game developer Germany #20 MrKanister, Apr 4, 2018 Yes, everyone can contribute and in fact, lots of tips were written by real players.
