Age of Steel: Recharge is an interesting and short Tower Defence Game In my opinion not worth the 6,99€ though. If it is on a discount or you can get it for less, certainly worth a thought. There are 2 main complains I could point out: [*] It is very short for [3-4 hours] [*] It isn't very challenging [Though it has a difficulty option in the Escape Menu] Yet I found pretty fun myself, I have started the game up again and again over a long time and just now finished it. Playing the game in 1 session I could see becoming repetitive and boring though. The Gameplay consists of 3 lanes that you will all have to defend against waves of enemies, and every mission you obtain a unique weapon with which you can stir things up a bit. Once you found a good strategy though, you won't need any of them. If you are able to get if a little cheaper and want a casual game that does require you to do a lot, yet not think about it too much, this is ideal, otherwise I would recommend to keep looking for another game or wait for a discount.

The game is very simple, the campaign is passed in 1 hour, 100% of achievements can be obtained in another 3 hours, the last hour you just look at the screen, making a couple of clicks every 5 minutes. In essence, it's an autobattler with upgrades. It's probably more interesting on higher difficulty, but on the easiest difficulty in survival mode it just seems endless. The game for one evening, played and forgotten, but nevertheless - it's a good game, the developer has done a good job.

You could see this game as a lane based tower defense game, but with each lane having it's own distinct unit types, or as a rock-paper-scissors tug of war game, where each time you see the enemy sending more units at you, you have to see if your current forces will handily beat it, or if not start building a counter to the enemy unit(s) now coming at you. Do it badly/slowly and they start beating up your base, do it well and you start to dominate all three lanes and kill everything as soon as it appears on screen. The lanes mostly fight against others in the same lane, but some units are designed to use dominance of one lane to give you a boost in another - like the bomber which is useless if you don't have aerial supremacy, but can be powerful at clearing zeppelins and ground forces if you do. The base gameplay then works fine, and make an interesting lite-RTS style experience where you build units, upgrade your base to build more unit types, or research upgrades to existing units, all while fending off the enemy attacks. Unfortunately similar to RTS games each new level you start again from scratch, which has never been something I am keen on as it can makes levels fairly repetitive, especially later on when you have the same 15 techs to get as last time before getting a new 16th tech and finally get to do something a bit new. Another issue in the game is some unit types aiming ability - most units fire straight ahead, but then bullets curve downwards, and no one ever learns to adjust for this and fires up slightly, meaning some units that seeming have long range actually can only hit things immediately in front of them, and some units are much more vulnerable and weak purely because they have some part of their design that drops "below the waterline" of where units shot in each lane. There is a main campaign where you unlock new units as you go along, and there is a story to give it all background which was passable but no more, and missions have some variety of objectives - make a certain amount of resources, build a certain tech/upgrade/unit, kill a number of enemies, survive a certain time, etc. There is also a survival mode where you can sit there and slowly the amount of enemy units sent against you increases and eventually overwhelms you, I can't say I played this mode much as it didn't really feel much different to playing any of the later levels of the game for the initial stages, then you wait around a while once you have all the techs/units/excess resources you can get for the enemy forces to ramp up, then eventually there is another interesting bit where they start to break through but you can hold on by making the right choices, but that tends to only last a few minutes before the enemy adds even more forces and then nothing you can do holds them back. Overall it is fairly decent, a bit innovative in it's approach, nice to look at, but has a few flaws/frustrations that stop it really being something special.

Fun-to-play side view strategy game with a story, ideal for short games of about 10 minutes. You throw up to 12 units (which you have to research first) at you opponent, who throws whatever he can craft back at you. Plus some bosses. Benefits [*]Pixel graphics with nice effects [*]Short games possible [*]Story and interesting settings with different missions (survive the waves, kill the boss) Concerns [*]Two modes (campaign and surviving) only [*]UI could be improved

Tldr; Fun to play and fairly priced. Bugs: -Text screens need slowing down -Few typos -Game freezes for a second when bosses die -Cannot unselect unit type to deploy sometimes I would like to see a way to delete turrets (lemmings style would be fun) as this could let you lose your game if you have max units deployed and an enemy gets though. Please seperate music and sounds in the options menu, and also the bullet sounds are pretty dull (wet farts). UI wise the right sidebar blocks a lot of the action and should really be integrated into the menu bar by reducing icon size... could there be an option to shake the screen but not the menu bar?
