Game Review - Sol Survivor

Sol Survivor is an Indie Tower Defence game that costs 8 pound (around $10) on Steam. It has a campaign, survival and multiplayer game mode. Here's a look at the graphics:


Let me just set this straight, I don't like this game. I do't say that about a lot of games but this game is literally not good. For 8 pound you get an average quality tower defence game, I've seen better Tower Defence apps for free! Obviously it has multiplayer so has to be worth 8 pound! No. Do not be conned. This game is probably worth avoiding if you have more than 10 brain cells or want to collect every tower defence game ever made. I know this sounds harsh but why would an indie developer release such an average game at a moderately high price? It confuses me as to who's business plan it was to waste people's money and hope to get more sales. For some reason it has a metascore of 75 on steam. I don't know if the guys over there don't own a phone capable of accessing the android market but this is definitely not true. after about an hour of play I found myself bored of a campaign with no voice acting, no intriguing story line, just tower defence. What's more is it's not even difficult, I could just spam out towers and melt every incoming wave, not to mention the seperate resources available for "support" abiities like a death lazer that just eat everything. There is some good points, it's a time killer and would probably be fun if you actually got to the point where you have unlocked the different things available, but I have no time for a game like this.
  In conclusion, I don't like this game, but if it's your style, it's probably not worth the money anyway. Score: 2
