March 2025
Quite banal but surprisingly catchy story along with a decent difficulty makes this game a really good choice for any tower defense fan. Also, difficulty grows reasonably as campaign progresses which makes it only better. Spent ~20 hours playing through the campaign and now making my way through all the achievements. It's awesome how many ways of winning every mission there are.

In my opinion the best game in the creeper world set (although the other ones are also fun!), also worth to check the player made levels and all the extra levels It is a bit addictive though....

Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal was the first game of the series that I've played (Long before I bought it on Steam) and I have just noticed that while I did 100% it, I didn't get around to actually reviewing it which I take as an inexcusable sin due to how great this game is so it's time to right my mistake! Creeper World as a series is a strategical tower defense RTS game, you know the type. The big difference here however is that while other games have you fight AI, in this game you are fighting a continuous flood of destructive fluid. Across all the games in the series you are always fighting this unrelenting fluid that allows the player to have an innate understanding of how the enemy works! Pair that with needing land-area to produce energy needed to power turrets and other machinery that keeps the Creeper at bay and you have this great puzzle that is new, yet very familiar. As with any game of this type, there's 2 ways you can play it: You can either rush things before the Creeper can spread or you can turtle up as you gain a foothold and slowly take back parts of the map and quite literally turn the tide. This third installment has polished and perfected it's gameplay and if you're just thinking of getting into Creeper World and want to start somewhere, PLEASE start from the first game. Due to me seeing and playing the third one, when I went back to the first one, it was a pure downgrade (Which it IS supposed to be. It's 2 games back!) and I didn't find it as engaging because I already had a taste of the expanded possibilities of this one. I'm a turtle through and through and I easily spent 45 minutes to an hour fighting some of the later levels and the time just flew by! If that sounds like something you enjoy, I really recommend giving the whole series a try!

I'm new to Creeper games, so this is the first I'm playing. And I'm loving it. There is something strangely satisfying in grinding your enemy down systematically, even when it's already clear that the level is won and victory is only a matter of time.

This is the quintessential Creeper World experience. Clean graphics, engaging strategy gameplay, and polished to a high shine. I can't recommend this enough.
