---see where this game landed on my tower defense tier list beneath this review!--- Tiny Tactics is a refreshing mazer TD for those that miss using units as towers in some of the Warcraft 3 custom maps. Each.. "tower" belongs to one or more class groups, and getting multiple towers of the same class onto the battlefield gives you increasingly powerful class bonuses. This encourages you to try and synergize wherever possible and there are a lot of options in this regard. This is one of those tower defenses where you aren't forced to do any activity during a wave, but quite a bit of thinking between. The game allows you to play in 2x speed (I didn't need it any faster, waves are short). Between levels you have an overworld hub which you are exploring. It's very minor interactivity, but I do appreciate this approach over games that use a stage select list. You have different routes you can explore and this causes you to wonder what lies beyond in different directions (even though it will just be one of 3 things: a pile of crystals, more levels or the entrance to a new biome). Each level has multiple difficulties and you want to 3 star each level to retrieve the 3 crystals from it. You spend the crystals on permnanet upgrades, roguelite style. The upgrades are only marginally interesting and there aren't too many of them so this is an area that I felt could have used further effort & imagination. Music is pretty minimalist but inoffensive, though I load up my own music when playing this one. For some reason the game has a setting that blurs the edges of the screen (often interfering with your vision of the path you're building on). You can thankfully disable this in options (click on FoV). Weird that this is on by default, it might make a screenshot look pretty, but it's otherwise annoying interferance. It's also on the title screen and can't be turned off there, it hurts my eyes to look at. I like that the game displays the damage done by each tower, every wave. Akin to a DPS parse in an MMO. Insightful and just fun to look at. The game lacks some polish in places, but I was always able to deal with whatever the issue was (clicking an upgrade also moves you on the map) (gold can get stuck on your towers) (etc etc etc). All in all, this is a pretty fun and addictive TD for those that like to think a bit about the tower synergy/unit compositions. I'm far from finished it, there's a lot of content here, though it does get a bit repetitive and stale eventually. ===================== My Tower Defense Tier List ===================== -Not an objective list, purely how much I enjoyed the games- S Tier: X-Morph Defense | Warcraft 3 (Custom TD Maps) | Orcs Must Die! | Orcs Must Die! 2 | Orcs Must Die! 3 | A Tier: Dungeon Warfare | Plants Vs.

addictive. fun. good quick noncommittal chill TD

Aug. 2024

Completed the game in about 90 hours, played on lowest difficulty first, then the hardest. It's a very fun and addicting game that you can either play for 15 minutes or for hours. There are many classes and units to choose from so you can be creative and win a game with a new strategy all the time. Some minor bugs, but once you know how to trigger them you can avoid them.

May 2024

A solid game, especially one that fills a niche that I haven't seen any others take up. It's been fun to play through and definitely takes a bit of effort to get through some levels (and on higher difficulties). I do think that there's a slight lack of complexity in terms of moment to moment decision making, but that is somewhat countered by the randomness of each attempt (just in terms of how strong you are on any given wave). Most maps are not overly complex and are just about getting the right trait combos and getting units leveled up. Not so much about combining certain abilities to get the result you want.

April 2024

Tiny Tactics is a a really good game, it would be a great game if it had a level editor and skirmish generator. I love this game. I agree with the top rated positive reviews here and don't need to repeat the same positive points. I have played every level and challenge over and over. I am ready to play more levels anytime. This game would have infinite re-playability if it included a level editor and skirmish generator.
