Jigsaw's Blog: My thoughts on games (and other stuff)

Onslaught Review

I know I just posted about a flash based tower defense games, but that was before I found Onslaught. Onslaught is another tower defense game, but with a great twist. Once you level up your towers they can work together to form combo attacks. There are 13 different combinations you can form using 3 to 5 different towers. Additionally, beyond the 3 main tower types there are also 3 modifier towers and 3 exchange towers. These towers don’t attack, but instead effect the range, damage, and firing frequency of the other towers. With 8 different maps to choose from there are plenty of strategies to test out with all of the tower combinations and map layouts. So far my high score is 149,979,280 which seems like a lot until you see the high score charts. Some of the guys on there have over 400,000,000. I do like that there is an overall high score chart as well as high scores for each map. Unlike a lot of tower defense games I’ve tried this one has decent graphics, for a flash game, and a nice set of keyboard shortcuts. Overall this is a great Tower Defense game.

There is also Onslaught 2 that is still in the process of being created, but it looks like it has a lot of potential because it adds a 4th type of tower and more combo attacks. It has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing it completed.
