The main issue with this game is that most of the turrets are useless. Secondaries take forever to cool down, and the only good passives are health/damage. The only primary gun that is good for anything is the heavy cannon, mainly due to the ABSURD cost to upgrade damage on the others. 10 points for 1 damage? LOL. Heavy cannon is 3 damage per 1 upgrade. That's 3000% more upgrade potential. Not to mention it can fire in arcs to hit over barriers, whereas every other primary fires in a line and cannot. Only other useful thing is the shield tower which negates bullet damage so swarms don't overrun you. Still, the gameplay is decent and there's a good variety of enemies. 3/5

Meaning of 'turret' in every other game: Something that autofires at the enemy while you attend to important business.
Meaning of 'turret' in this game: A manually-operated mounted gun.
Might want to tweak some things.

I like to imagine that the reason we can only use one gun at a time is because there's one little guy just running between the guns trying to defend their stuff

I dont know if it's just me, but I honestly do not see the appeal to this game at all. The graphics, sounds, and control are all fluid and as they should be, but overall gameplay has no fun value to it at all. What people have said about autofiring turrets is dead on. Why on earth is there a need to switch constantly between multiple cannons? Even if the autofire only shot at 50% of normal shot interval it would still be SOMETHING, as opposed to new weapons being useless, as you get off a shot before having to switch to something else. It also is worth mentioning that although I immediately disliked this game, I did give it a fair chance and have made multiple attempts at it since it came out, but still find it awful. I guess you could say this is a well put together game in terms of everything except gameplay, and as harsh as I feel it is to say, I find one star to be a drastic understatement of how bad and not fun this game is.

For those who don't like the arc mechanics (even though it's used for the most cost-effective weapon in all of this series) there's always going for the machine-gun/double machine gun tactic and saving up points until it deals double damage or at least deals damage to destroy heavily armored enemies. for a greater boost, add damage booster, the health booster can be totally ignored, and if you need a decoy because your main gun can't take the heat just buy the basic canon, and sell it after the wave, you will have saved money on repairs, and your boosts will make a sure win in any campaign.

My tanky heavy cannon was destroyed, but still sells for 400g, so if I sell it and buy again, I'll only spend 100g instead of the 500g it costs to repair it directly.

I had a sense of in-completion when I got the medium badge for free. So I played it again with the strategy from best comments section (1 DMG with a shield gun and 2 damage buffers) I didn't even get hit once. Take that game...

I'm really sorry, but I absolutely hated the original version of this game. From what I can tell from my 3 minutes of playing this version, nothing has changed except the graphics are nicer. Maybe if I gave it a chance I might come to like it, but the controls are still godawful and the gameplay is still more frustrating than entertaining. How did this game get badges?

I love unleashing a flock of remote missiles. Nothing like having a dozen of them following the mouse around, waiting to hit an enemy weak spot.

The easiest way to do the Kongregate challenge level is NOT stupid radio plasmid guns. Buy one dual machine gun and upgrade its damage and with what's left speed. Then buy 3 damage upgrade towers and max out their damage % increase. It's way better than plasmids.

How to beat the game: Get a bunch of time guns (3+) and fire them one after the other, and use the heavy gun to take stuff down.
How to beat the game after this was patched: Get the heavy gun, decoy gun, as many damage boosters as possible, and become godlike with aim.

Yeah, this is incredibly poor game design. It's not really a tower defense when only one tower gets to fire at a time. And the level ups for each tower? Ridiculous costs for all the skills that are any good. At least the first medium badge was easy to get. You don't even have to beat the level, just play it and die and it should unlock the badge.

Dual machine guns combined with damage buffers are extremely powerful. If that doesn't work on armored enemies, multiple rocket launchers with reload upgraded does the job as well.

Kongregate challenge is very easy...simply buy 3 or 4 radio guns, choose 1 you will control and max out reload time and the rest damage. Since the rest shoot when one shoots, only one reload time can be raised and the rest will follow suit, as long as your controlling that one. If you chose 3, the 4th gun is your choice. I chose the Apocalypse Cannon, but it is entirely up to you! This cannon also instantly kills the big shield ship, but i killed the kongregate ship before I had a chance to test it on that.

For campaign 4, get: machine gun, shield bot, sniper and damage boost. Put shield on machine gun, upgrade damage boost to 26% rest in health. Upgrade machine gun once on damage then fire rate.
For campaign 5 get: machine gun, shield bot, damage boost and two mines. Upgrade damage on machine gun (no fire rate), later on again. Upgrade damage boost until 50% then rest in health (you will get 5 damage on your machine gun). Upgrade shields with shield bot only, until maxed (level 5).

Requiring payment to actually play the game the way it was meant to be played, 1 star, cause that's the lease I can give.

Start with the 2 shooter. save up 10 for damage. second purchase get the sniper, spend on cooldown until you get to 400/300 and then all damage. then buy the health booster and max that on buffs. then buy the drones. save up for guns, and then number of drones.
Win everytime.
To make this better though I think you should be able to convert extra money on upgrades instead of just waiting for level ups. Needs the ability to continue level past 10. Also needs the ability to carry money earned to next campaign. :)

Lol, the final boss is a joke. I just shot it with the heavy cannon, the cheapest gun in the game, and it went down in like 10 seconds.

*SPOILER* For the hard campaign, I finally managed to beat it with a Glass Cannon approach. Final setup was three Radio Plasmoids (+damage upgrades, +health in the later levels) in the front, and two Damage Buffers (+damage upgrades) in the back.
To start, get all three Plasmoids, putting them in the back and top, and two of the cheapest guns for the front and bottom. Only upgrade +health on the cheap guns; they are just there to soak damage until you can afford the Buffers.
Hope this helps; I'm sure there are better setups, but the best defense is a good offense!

For those who actually want to beat the kong challenge, it's fairly easy if you go one of several routes: 1) Nothing but damage boosts and 1 dual machine gun, for the upgrades have damage>fire speed> health. Fairly easy game, with enough damage output to destroy anything you can hit before it's halfway through the screen. 2) Radio Plasmid Guns, maybe 1 damage buffer. Have only one of them spec'd speed, and the rest focused on damage; shoot with the speedy one, and the rest will have it's firerate. Warning: leads to a NEGATIVE accuracy score. 3) Damage and the starter cannon. This is the hardest one i've tried, but it should theoretically lead to a higher accuracy, assuming that you can hit everything. One shot, one kill, only to be used by the scoreseekers out there. Those are the only ones i've tried, but it seems fairly simple; you don't have to worry about more than this wave, so go for Dakka unless you want score. Then you should go for Massive Damage.

great game but when the boats with the three ballons come for some reason i cant switch between my machine gun turrets? it did however finally let me select my last turret once all of my other ones were dead and it had half health left and the screen was littered with all sorts of enemy's bombing it.. maybe you could increase the size of the select box or decrease the size of the box the enemy's have so it makes it easier to select your turrets before you're just about to loose the level? thanks HeroInteractive!

I have no idea how I got it, but at least my girlfriend won't be mad about me trying to get the BOTD on Valentine's Day. Never coming back.
