I've been playing Tower Unite quite a bit recently, and I think its time to share a full review of the current early access iteration, and what I really enjoy about the game. For now, i'll mainly be focusing on issues with the game for this part of the review though.
First off, the condo system.
I like the condos, but I have a few complaints.
- You're inside a skyscraper but your condo is at the beach, and not really a "condo" at all. It would be nice if you could at least choose what was outside your condo (i.e. the plaza below)
- There isn't a roof. What if it rains?
- Video players are relatively low FPS, but that may be my game in general
- Customizable floorplans haven't been implemented to my knowledge
Next, the plaza.
Again, I like the plaza, but there are some things that annoy me.
- You can get stuck in plaza seats sometimes
- Players tend to bring confetti guns into the theater and ruin the whole experience
- Movies are often laggy, similar to condo media. Its far from unwatchable, but the stutter is noticable.
- Its hard to join a game world from the plaza because very few people join from the plaza, and you can only join gameworlds with people in the same plaza as you
On to Game Worlds.
First, Minigolf:
- You can get stuck on some holes in various spots
- Altitude is much more challenging than other courses. This may be intentional, but it's quite nice as a change of pace
Next, Ball Race:
- Like Minigolf, you can get stuck in some places
- Lag sometimes makes levels unbeatable
- physics can be jenky at some points
Next, Virus:
- Virus is a lot more fast-paced than it was in GMT. I like it more this way.
- Dynamite is hard to predict the landing area of
- Infected can sometimes spawn in the group of survivors
- On hospital, everyone camps at the vending machines
I'll talk about Planet Panic more later, once I've played it.
Well, that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed!
