Taur - Sci Fi Battle Station Tower Defense

what's up guys gals welcome back to the nerd castle today in the world of indie games we're taking a look at a game called tour this is a game where you're going to have like a big city and it's kind of a city defense game I don't know how to describe it other than that like some people call it a tower defense game I guess but really it kind of seems to neglect the lane based gameplay that a lot of tower defense games have it instead you have like a big city in the center and you upgrade that city and you build guns and things on it and frankly some of the battles that I saw in some of the trailers for this game looked really really cool they stood out so anyways let's check the game on out and see if it's worth your notice yeah it's time for some indie games we'll go with a new campaign here let's see if they give us any like scene setting let's see if I got any story line here Toria home world of the Turin droids is under attack by the empyrion a vast and powerful droid empire controlling most of the galaxy after refusing to trade their advanced weapon technology with the warmongering and period the torrents were declared galactic terrorists a full-scale planetary invasion of Toria and total war ensued shortly thereafter with both sides suffering massive losses heavily outnumbered and inexperienced in war the torrents estimated the likelihood of their total annihilation to be 99.8% in its desperation the Turin High Council made a radical decision to grant full operational command of a tour class battle station to a primitive warmongering organic welcome commander do you really have to call me a primitive war monger before you gave me my command I get it like I'm like the high commander now it's a big honor but this really feels like it was kind of a backhanded promotion but like listen since your people are way better at violence murder and awfulness than we are we're giving you control of this campaign you filthy bastard welcome to the campaign and so the campaign has lost if the Imperium gains full control of toria we need to maintain control long enough for the Overlord to appear and once you defeat it in battle the campaign will be won okay sounds good I have learned this piece of information let's go to our campaign map I guess this maybe maybe we just look I'm clicking a button and it makes a very satisfying noise but I don't see anything happening I think it wants me to click on this instead sometimes I just like to click things repeatedly just to really drive home the point of how bad I am at video games oh so I actually shoot the cannon okay so we can actually fire it like there we have a secondary weapon - what's our secondary weapon it looks like a little plasma camp like a oh it's like a plasma bomb okay looks pretty cool and then we can zoom in on the action if we need to smile let's clear out some of these trees and things trees get out of here oh no they're shooting at me hold on shoot that guy yo that's what you get took him out all right he's taken care of do we get money or something for doing all can I destroy that crystal right there I bet you I can destroy this tree there we go let's wipe out all these organics that are in the way I got too many things blocking my line of fire all right so I've read the thing we're the bad guys that oh they're shooting at me from behind hold on hold on there we go there we go wipe them out all right so two bad guys are down they've been defeated this seems like kind of a quiet day at the office in all honesty I'm gonna fire one more time just get myself reloaded just in case I'm gonna try and fire the you know it's fire like one of those like yeah it's fire one of those over there and just kind of see what happens apparently it was super effective my gun is going click a little bit more than I like dude I need more ammunition whose idea was it to make a battle station that's shaped like a toothpick and then also give it like three bullets we should definitely have more bullets than this if we're gonna be waging a full-scale war apparently I've secured Oasis now I want to like build though I want to add more thingies to my tower that was it huh okay apparently we took a plus 14 right there there are seven types of resources we have power standard cores large cores massive cores Astro crystals stellar crystals and prime crystals power is the most ubiquitous and versatile resource power cores are needed to unlock slots and build structures whereas crystals are primarily for research okay so we've got the invasion of weather peak let's go do it I am enthusiastic about the defense of not really my people I guess this one does kind of have lanes if you look at it like if you look at the map layout they've made it a lot more aesthetically appealing like they've definitely tried to hide it in the terrain with kind of this low poly style that the games got going on Oh a parallel I can rapid-fire to to build expand your tower and get new structures we need build mode nice dude okay so I need 50 power and I need one crystal in order to unlock more stuff all right well we've taken a look at it we'll get a bad guy coming in let's shoot him yo he's dead now let me reload real fast I'm gonna fire up that last shot just in case I wanted to see if maybe I could destroy that crystal right there looks like you lose accuracy too if you end up foot can I destroy that right there if I launch a mortar onto there will it blow up that bridge oh you missed the bridge man you had one job you had one job there we go snipe that guy out can I do anything here we can build a structure by pressing its icon or pressing 1 through 9 indicated below the structure icon alright well like I don't see anything oh we can unlock it gotcha alright do I have enough for all of this okay so what can we do right here we can actually do a cyclone which is a cyclone gunship aircraft at the start of every battle or one built we've got a raptor it doesn't look like I can really afford any of this but maybe someday looks like we need research for most of this stuff yeah okay alright good to know well we've started to unlock cells around the central part of our building right here so maybe later on we'll have some really cool stuff happening that's probably not even going to come close to hitting well the pillar was in the way not in the way for them oh I dude my towers being shot up stop it stop it I demand that you stop it right now so we've secured whether peak now we're starting to get some serious like real estate acquisition out here we got to add this all to the portfolio love the graphical style of the game in my opinion you can never go wrong with low poly it is definitely kind of a design decision nowadays that is very much popular but at the same time it looks good and it looks functional so why worry about it so we have 191 resources now and also some crystals can I do some research I want to do some research where's my where's my research at there we go so we can get the wraptor right there it fires plasma projectiles good range of damage can do ground and air let's do that and then what does this do right here nano coating the prime cannon advanced antigen coating allowing it to automatically regenerate its health over time that seems pretty good I don't know if I want to spend my electricity on it how much electricity do I have where's my power at what does that do the punisher a prime canon weapon armed with a heavy railgun cannon accurate and effective against most unit types and so that just cost me like we already have that never mind what does that do tempest a prime cannon loaded with plasma mortar shells okay so we already have that one too i assume these are all color coded based on what they do maybe like i don't want to go too crazy because i actually want to build on my tower this level what's in the forge what does this do so we've got the tempest and we've got the punisher here reforging a weapon randomly changes its quality and damage every time it ranks up it increases its minimum maximum damage potential okay so basically I can reforge this thing for green crystals and something else yeah do it there you go apparently it's now awful which I guess is supposedly better than where we're at right I still don't know if we're gonna be able to deploy like any new resources this time around there's a lot of stuff to spend my energy on energy seems to be the main stopgap for the moment that I kind of don't have the cash for if we can build like one Raptor turret I'll be happy that's all I want to do is add one more turret to my little city so we unlocked these there he is oh I don't have enough oh it's deploying from the sky there we go give me another little ol nice he's suspended up in the air too I thought he was gonna deploy along the ground so we're gonna get like a pretty sweet ass grid by the time we get out of here maybe I'll try to deploy one on the other side see we'll put one on each of the three sides of this little pylon there's a bad guy got him with that first hit it's hiding behind trees pretty good right now though anybody else coming I don't see him around I do like the active control it does add something that I think a lot of tower defense games sort of lack is an active control scheme on the part of the players sometimes with tower defense games the reason why I never really got into them is that it feels like with tower defense games occasionally you're just like setting things up and then watching to see what happens I'm gonna destroy that tree that tree is horribly in the way and it keeps like blocking my shots and causing problems there we go wiped him out - is there any other one coming I do want to test out my little machine gun but it doesn't lovely they're gonna get close enough they've only got a flare over there so my assumption is that they're only gonna deploy along that side yeah let's maybe wash that four right there I don't know if it's gonna land in time well we got one of them I gotta learn to lead that a little better also I need these trees to go away these trees are all incredibly problematic is that dude trying to dual wield on me I see him right there he's got two little arms he's trying to do a wield on me well at least my little plasma cannon helped out right there maybe I'll get enough resources on this mission that we get to play a couple of them trying to get up into the action right now I want to see like the battles that they had in the trailer had like giant Star Destroyer things that were like rotating around the map it looks crazy one dropper to do if we have to go like planet to planet we seem to be doing pretty well in this war zone and then again they invaded a planet with like five guys so maybe this is more just bad planning on their part so we've got two invasions over here we could probably go with that when it's worth more money I think we should let's go with the one that's worth a little bit more cash I'm gonna see how many of these I can mash out I'm interested in upgrading to I want to get a few more of these little hexes unlocked all right so let's go build mode I want that hex right there and then with that hex we'll put a plasma no dude oh you need a blue crystal lame I thought it needed green crystals okay well I was wrong about everything where is their deployment spot there it is all right so let's wipe out some of these little trees and stuff that crystal is an issue I don't like it very much he's already shooting at me this guy's ambitious oh he struck me man yeah reload the gun real fast one observation is that it takes you the same amount of time to reload whether or not you have like three bullets left or one bullet left since I'm firing like railgun mortar shells you think it'd be faster to load the gun if you're only have one shell missing I think of it like thumb loading like maybe it could be a little a little quicker I feel like I'm sitting here I gotta figure out how I get my magazine upgraded for for this little real gun thing that I got going on oh here come a bunch of them yup that's a lot of you let's launch that too right there Oh direct hit that was a good one right there that's a good one right there yeah just continue shooting at him those guys I don't think are gonna be able to do much we will launch one two right there well we got two of them that's good yeah keep firing on him I do like the little explosions and like the Battle Damage at the battlefield accumulates where you got the little splat marks from where the enemies were and then also you get like the the little I don't know the big divots the explosions look really nice - honestly the graphics look solid like for a low poly game the particle effects and whatnot from the mortars and everything look pretty good that one felt a little bit more hectic I want to see like I'm a big path of Exile fan I want to see enemy density I want to see enemies all over the place causing problems like I wanted to sit there go I just open it up just open it up Fanning the hammer on them we could probably afford upgrades right now it really does seem to sort of be a precarious balance between what do you upgrade in your tech tree will you upgrade in your armory versus like what do you add to your base we've got significant increases physical force that the Punisher hits do we have like a range right there I can increase the capacity of the Punisher that'd be nice actually we can unlock a disintegrator let's get that I want to see what's up with a disintegrator that's what I need in my life we have interceptor control deploys interceptor fighters at the start of every battle nice I would love to have that that would be amazing let me get one of those all right let's go like to play some fighters and stuff we'll do the mission that pays better on most of these although I guess I probably should have taken the one that gave blue crystals so that I could do more upgrades I wanted to play these fighters though I want fighters really badly I'm a big fighter craft fan alright so with this little guy right here is to ploy some fighters yup and then can I afford this yeah now we've got two cannons now we got two cannons Britt okay so we don't have enough of anything left right now but we did get to do some upgrades now we got like two guns oh my goodness we are under close combat assault right now yeah I'm I need my little cannons to help out here so definitely don't do that continuous fire as a mistake Oh my fighters straped him you see him right there he's flying around nice dude wait was that it that was a pretty short mission my fighter barely got to murder one guy I'm gonna need like some protracted battles out here that's what I need we're taking this like slow I was expecting to get into this like nasty style we win right we have a hundred percent control of the planet do we win did I win all the things I guess I didn't win all the things I wanted to equip whatever this is right here how do I equip that so do I just like selected off the list I don't know how I select what weapon I want right now because I want her to use the ion cannon but the ion cannon appears to like you don't equip it through there so maybe I press like the one the two in the key three key maybe I swapped between my guns kind of like first-person shooter style let's try out in this mission right here let's give that a go oh there we go Oh it's so badass yeah I want the death laser yup the death lasers what's up I love death lasers I need all the death lasers in my life these guys are advancing undercover that's not good where is there okay so they're over there yeah cut down the forest real fast just swish swish cut it all down you tried to hide behind that crystal right there man they're employing advanced space-age tactics like not getting hit a lot of refuse in the way I like the Battle Damage though everything like that you can do to kind of like wipe out the map is really sweet like that's a powerful gun right there we just eliminated like an entire sector of forest yeah enemies coming down right there bombard the forest I don't know what their plan is but launch more mortars get him yeah there we go there we go there we go launch that right there there maybe we'll take him out easy-peasy yeah easy peasy lemon squeezy dude I love that fighter I wonder how many of those I can have I'm curious yeah unlock that dude right there so that we can get another fighter Bey right there because the fighter strikes anything on the map no matter how far away they are so it automatically makes it better than these little turrets we have over here I think I'm gonna focus on having like air superiority go away forest you're stupid mm-hmm I don't care about Smokey the Bear Oh No watch that right through there yeah and knock out their entire front line we are taking some hits right now though I'm gonna need somebody to get over there and start like maybe strafing them with a little bit of gunfire well fire that racer there oh it was off target at once it'll left slightly apparently we don't have pixel-perfect accuracy when it comes to when it comes to the mortar yeah launch that over there dude that one is off - yeah keep firing the death laser this is the first time we've actually gotten scuffed and all these missions that all of them note those we still right there there we go we'll take care of him anybody else around anybody else want to get some from the death laser cuz I'll I will open up this shiny miserable eye of death on all of you all right we will unscrew the lid of doom few more resources to play around with I'll probably spend those on getting another fighter contingency maybe two if I can really afford it I don't know what would it cost to upgrade the disintegrator so it's going to take me ten power and one green crystal let's do it oh it's random oh I thought it was going up in quality each time I think it is because it says rank five right there so I think it's going up in quality but it also has another quality that is independent of the main quality so it's got its rank and it's got its quality so if it's like rank seven awful is probably better than rank one legendary would be my guess something like that either way I mean the meter keeps getting bigger we don't have any yellow crystals to play around with which is kind of a bummer what about this guy right here so we've got a poor rank too an awful rank 3 an awful rank 4 well you know we did the best we could with what we had available research wise I could get the Hydra a sustained cryo beam ok interceptor control can we get cyclone cyclone control that sounds pretty rad and I incinerate significant increases the burning impact of disintegrator hits and we've got shield breaker over there all right what does that do enhance capacity oh we need a yellow crystal for that and it's a powerful time dilation shock wave that slows down all objects hit what does that do guardian command to Plus that the five guardian joins at the start of Eddy battle maximum of sixty Guardians can be deployed nice dude okay go for it I believe chat do you believe that gives a yellow crystal and some massive power cores let's go with this one so that I can upgrade my base a little bit more I do like how you kinda have to tactically choose what missions you want to take in order to get the resources that you need to have in order to undertake like the construction projects that are the talk of the day I guess that's pretty cool alright so with this guy right here I want another who do I want guardians let's go ahead let's try something new that's the point of this is to check it out and see if we can do new things and do our first impressions of the game use aerial targeting to easier so left shift apparently gives me aerial targeting okay I see what's up well there's my Guardians right there yeah you like me now how you like me now should not I now where they trying to land at there it is let's see if I can put a mortar like right on top of this right when it needs to happen I don't like to of them I don't care about that nice a little bit of Splash Damage right there melt them down real quick as much as I hate to admit it I think our other gun might be better and I got took out instantly so the guardians jobs they just have like little shields and Spears so their job is just to like stand there and take the hit okay that's cool I like it man I'm a big fan of like wave defense stuff so this is working for me on a whole lot of different levels water did okay I was hoping it would hit a little bit more but what are you gonna do we're good to go right there yeah launch it that one was way off that one didn't even try to be on target mortars out of ammo so I can't really do much with that right now I do think we should have gone with Air Force I think like the Air Force seems to be a little bit better than the two little cannon things that we have going on the real question is as we build outwards is it going to be kind of like terrorists so that the guns can fire over the top I'm curious about how that's gonna work to with line-of-sight on the little machineguns few more resources to throw in the pile well we're gonna spend them on I haven't really decided probably just like massive expansion let's get some yellow crystals in here it says this one has extreme enemy resistance let's see what an extreme enemy resistance mission looks like I bet it's gonna get nutty alright so I want to get another Air Force over here so let's unlock that and then for this I want another Air Force and then on this side boom I don't think I have enough though it's 150 I could get another Raptor cannon over there yeah get another Raptor cannon just in case we'll get well kind of like spread this stuff out it's at extreme enemy resistance I grew up in the 90s alright you understand what it means when somebody says extreme it means you can sell an energy drink alright Oh direct hit with the mortar very nice couldn't have asked for a better destructive result alright that little dudes down as soon as the mortars back up we'll launch it back over there still got a little bit of juice ah nevermind I'm all juiced out seem to be doing somewhat ok over here this doesn't strike me as extreme enemy resistance I was thinking like more enemies than the I can process dozens of them coming at me it looks like the interceptors selected like maybe the main target you are the same target we good here I don't see any more drop beacons oh there it is watch it nice kind of hit the back line I kind of wish it hit the dudes that we're in the front that are rushing us right now I got a recharge for a minute there we go launch the motor right there I'm gonna see if this friendly fire that's what I'm curious about like the defenders are doing a pretty good job they're holding my little Robo Spartans down there oh yeah watch that right there hey direct hit very nice I'm gonna knock him a little bit off of his high pedestal you know he goes all right what else we looking at here anything else we good hopefully the mortar recharges up they're coming in from down here see this is more like it right here I wanted more enemy density that's what I was looking for when I saw the screen shots and also some of the play of this game like there was like hundreds of enemies on screen oh that was a really good mortar we got some mileage out of that mortar right there if we can recharge a little bit faster before they split up I think we can get a lot done here yeah put one like right there if you kill even like two or three of them that's fine by me you just need to kill something my turrets don't seem to be very accurate like I feel like they're trying it's just they're not very good yeah I don't know if that's gonna do friendly fire let's find out it does not do friendly fire so basically my units are immune to whatever damage I put out right there good to know good to know for future reference these little dudes over here launch another one of those they're perfect nice we done oh we lost a couple of defenders that's a bummer for little guys now we're gonna have to give out medals and play some bagpipes and stuff do you think he's doing over here just chillaxing in the back man look I don't feel like invading today I feel like my invasion quota has been perfectly fulfilled for the week I think I've pushed in far just long enough robot you know robot genocide not really on my list for today well good for you man way to be the mature one here my name is splatter cat thank you for joining me for this episode of tour hope you guys liked it this game does seem like it speeds up and gets pretty hectic pretty fast and I'm interested to see like what's gonna happen later on take care everybody hi do it was a lot of fun if you want to get the game as always we'll have a link for it down below leave a like on this if you wanted to see a little bit more and get further into the game it does seem like we're heating up right now but so far I don't really have much to complain about sometimes the targeting feels a little bit sticky on the main primary weapons where like it fires to a point that you're not clicking on but if you use the little laser sight it gets a lot better so maybe don't use the blue beam instead use the little green laser sight with a dot that it puts on the enemies and it gets a little bit easier to track them but I think that's so far the only thing that was sticky about this entire experience I'll see y'all next time thanks for being here don't work too hard everybody
