Rune Tower Incremental

Beat the game in 30 mins, not much to it. It's a good concept but over priced even at 3 bucks. You should not be able to refund a game after beating it................not saying i will (I won't) it's just there is the option to.

No endless mode it ends and locks up half the time on the end screen. It's also not a tower defense it's an "AMMO" Defense meaning when you run out of ammo is when the game ends. Your tower takes no damage from the waves they just play ring around the roses with you.

It is NOT a TOWER DEFENSE!!
It is BAD rogue-lite incremental game.
Bad becasue it has no balance (no anti-block and anti-evade options), it has strange decission (every run reqirement) to press hourglass (ui button)with your lmb entire run............
You have ammo to shoot, when you out of ammo the game is over. Main problem is it has strange RNG for hit chance. Even if you have Damage x1000 more than mob's HP, it doesnt mean 1 ammo = 1 kill. Monsters in this game have unimaginable high BLOCK-rate and EVASION, which makes so stupid gameplay and RPG-part of the game as much as your tatcics becomes nothing.

very very little content. it's an interesting idea, but at this stage just feels very incomplete. Can't recommend in it's current state, but I will revisit this in the future and update this if more comes along. As it stands, save your few bucks, invest in a different incremental style.

Updated review. Its been fixed.

It's ok. You have a tower that shoots at enemies which never attack, the failure condition is running out of ammo. Between runs you buy upgrades from a tiny upgrade tree that uses a few different types of currency to make your tower better. Beating bosses gets you equippable runes which change the way the tower acts, it's very simple. Mine never looked as overpowered as the screenshots.

Realistically you're going to get a few runes then hold space bar while watching something in another window, then come back when you run out of ammo to upgrade. You can manually target enemies, but everything's going to get nuked so quickly that there's no point. There's also an upgrade to get more money while speeding the game up, so you'll never really need to do anything else. The minimal micromanagement present is unnecessary & maybe even detrimental because it wastes time & reduces rewards.

For a few bucks I'd recommend this. In a little over an hour and a half (which includes pausing the game to get breakfast) I think I get the point, unless there's some hidden mechanic that never popped up. I've got runes at the maximum level and most of the upgrades maxed out. The store page says bosses and adventurers open new upgrade tiers, but honestly I didn't even notice so maybe the game's deeper than I thought and I missed the more exciting stuff. I stopped playing because the last dozen or so runs ended in a bug that stopped all progression and it got a little boring. At the time of writing there's only one other review and one post on the discussions page and they're both about this bug.

Still, assuming it gets updated with a fix, I'm happy enough with what we got for how cheap it is. Achievements and maybe an extra layer of prestige would be nice too.

Lastly, to the dev, I get why they're the way they are, but find the cheapest artist you can and commission some pictures to replace the current rune art. They look awful. There are a ton of little 3D enemies, even something as simple as those would look nicer and fit the aesthetic a lot better.
