Love it!! It's a ingenious version of a Tower Defense game. Fast to learn, easy to play, and yet somewhat hard to master! With a giant dose humour, haggis....and tons of porridge! FREEEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!!!

Everything I love about indie games. Great humor, unique, and full of character. The RTS part of the game is very tactical. You send your scottsmen to take cover behind tables and boulders or operate the towers/turrets you place. As the game progresses battles start to take on an epic feel with castles, catapults, hero characters, and large waves of enemies. Having the high ground, placement of units, and making use of the map are key to victory, making each level unique in some aspects. Highly recommended if you like RTS or Tower Defense games, and would like to play something a little bit more "light hearted".

This is a simple Tower Defense game made with Unity (for those wondering). It uses all kinds of stereotypes about Scots & the rest of the UK population to make a good & fun game. The camera at times is hard to deal with, and sometimes your units (or the enemy) won't behave properly, but it won't make you win or lose the fight (except in extremely rare occasions). There's quite a lot of variation between enemies & turrets, so it doesn't get too repetitive. All the achievements can be easily obtained (just takes a while). If you want something to laugh at while relaxing, this is a good pick.

As a Scotsman I can wholeheartedly agree that we. as a nation, brought down Hadrian's wall with our epic bagpipe artillery, pillaged the Lands of the English, Irish and Welsh for porridge oats and turnips and when we had stripped the lands clean of them we headed back North whereby we barricaded ourselves into the great pub of Scotland with our tables and chairs, cracked open some Tennents superbrew and awaited the arrival of the Sassenach counter attack from which point the people's champion Wee mental Alfredo stood upon the highest barstool in the land and uttered these words of challenge. ""Take a wee gander ae these pure pieces ae prime baws!" From which point legend states, that wee mental Alfredo lifted his kilt and chucked many a broken whisky bottle and malkied many a foe to death. Seriously though I havn't had this good a chuckle at a game in ages, totally plays up on the national stereotypes but it's so ridiculous it's brilliant and I'm still trying to figure out if James Cosmo is the voice of Alfredo. 10/10 Git it doon yer neck chief.
