After 100%-ing Outhold and unlocking all 15 achievements legitimately, I can safely say this is one of the most fun games I have personally played. The strongest part of the game is its simplicity. The graphics are not amazing, but they do not need to be. The visual design does its job... every enemy is distinct enough to recognize quickly, and the same applies to the towers. The skill tree is also excellent. Incremental games eventually turn their Skill Trees into mandatory number inflation. You reach a point where you are not really making choices anymore; you are just buying everything. But this skill tree gives you options without making every option mandatory. Some upgrades even come with tradeoffs, like the Coin Cannon, Heavy Arrows, etc. Personally, I never used the Fire Tower or the Coin Cannon, and still did completely fine. Another player could probably do the opposite and also do fine. That kind of flexibility is common in good tower defense games, but it is much harder to balance inside an incremental game. The challenges are another strong point. Prestige is a harder version of the core levels. Token Limit gives you, well, Token Limits to spend. Endless is self explanatory, but it also contains the same system that Token Limit has... the difference is that it has different limits and so on. Token Limit is especially well designed because it complements the skill tree. There are very few “wrong” upgrades as long as you understand your build, the mode pushes you to think about what matters instead of just maxing everything blindly. (Which differs from almost all incremental games). Another point is that this game uses both its tower defense layer and its skill tree layer at the same time, and neither system is less important. That balance is extremely hard, and easy to get out of hand from my understanding. The main problem is the length. It only took me around 6 hours to 100% the game without using guides. Someone who knows exactly what they are doing could probably finish it in around 5 hours, perhaps way faster with predetermined guides. What's left after that is... well, you can go for leaderboard runs, (like I did), but outside of that there is nothing to do. The challenges also are not that hard. I liked them, but most took one or two attempts. I personally understand why the developer may not have wanted to make the game that difficult, given how simple this game is. Still, the game would benefit from a harder game mode. Something like a “Nightmare Mode” could work for example. Maybe a mode where Prestige, Token Limit and Endless all combine. That'd be interesting. Overall, - The skill tree system is excellent. - The gameplay is extremely engaging. - The blend between TD and Incremental games was done right - The Towers are (kinda) balanced. But the game is short, and it never reaches the point where you need to think. 8.5/10, fun, but short.
Dot shooting simulator. Outhold takes the simple idea of defending against waves of enemies and turns it into something surprisingly addictive. The variety of towers and upgrades gives you plenty of freedom to experiment. Different tower combinations can completely change how a run plays out, and figuring out which synergies work best is easily one of the most satisfying parts of the game. The skill tree provides a steady sense of progression, with each unlock opening up new possibilities and encouraging you to try different strategies. The early game can feel a little slow while you're building up upgrades, but once things get going, the amount of available options increases significantly. For those chasing achievements, the challenges provide a decent test of skill, especially the token limit ones. I expected them to be frustrating, and they were. I was left scratching my head at times, but in the end — after a guide or two — I was able to complete them all and overall enjoyed the experience. After successfully defending the fire, all I wanted to do was jump into it. 7.8/10
Eh, it works as advertised. It's a $7 game that will give you about $7-$10 worth of entertainment value. It's not gonna set your world on fire, but it will give you a few fun afternoons playing around with it before you move on to something else, but if it ends up in your backlog unplayed for half a decade after you buy it on sale, then you're not missing out on anything earth-shattering. I would only buy it if you're itching to play something like it now , and will dive into the game while you still remember that you bought it, but if you're not in the mood, then this one can pass you buy and that's no big deal. I was a nice change of pace for the 2-3 days I spent on-and-off playing it, and I think that's worth the cost of admission.
I enjoyed it. Did all the achievements and completed the game. It's a solid tower-defence game and the minimalist style is pleasing to the eye and the overall game vibe is nicely chilled-out. It really needs more levels - WAY more levels - which shouldn't be hard to do. Either that or a level editor. Once you've done all the levels there's nothing more to do... except maybe try to improve leaderboard position and there are only 10 levels plus 4 special levels. The game has the potential to be way more than it is currently if it just has more content.
