![]() These points are used to purchase perk upgrades. You can choose the difficulty of the game and by doing so how many points you will get at the end. Don’t get too far away though or the humans will take advantage of this open space and annihilate a swarms home. Depending on how the humans are lining up to invade it can sometimes be beneficial to have a couple swarms playing defense in the same area together. You can only control one swarm at a time by switching between them using the number keys 1-4. You will see each one is a different color and has its own position in a map corner. (Source: Twitter game idea is pretty simple defend the four swarm homes from the invading humans. But it all adds to this complex universe to make the game complete. ![]() Having plants that can burn, freeze, or infect you and your enemies makes everything a bit more complicated. But it can still make you second guess what the plant you are about to walk over may do. You’ll be able to tell a difference between the deadly and decorative ones as the decorative plants usually stay off to the side to avoid being in the way. On top of deadly plants, there is also a large variety of decorative plants. The above references are just a few of the crazy plants that can interact with the world. The world itself also has many hazards that can pose a threat to everyone. Some will move in quick and come out swinging, others retreat until they have a full squad behind them, etc. Each of these enemies will react differently to combat. See the purple guys coming down off the landing pod? You’ll know you need to trap them and get behind them to break the shields. Once you can get that down and know the difference you’ll have a better chance to react to what’s coming. These are all separated by the color of their armor. Wardens: Only enemy equipped with shields, highly dangoures.Fire Spitters: Will ignite every alien they see on fire.Robo-Dogs: Will do anything to save humans and kill aliens.Reinforcers: Dogs with laser beams equipped to their chest.Cyborgs: Would rather kill an alien nest then ensure their own survival.Strikers: Runs fast and equipped with lazer bazookas.Soldiers: Will kill anything that moves.There are seven different enemies in this game that pose a threat to the aliens living here. If the soldiers get to it and start shooting, it will eventually be destroyed. ![]() The goal of the game is to defend these four homes. Each corner of this rectangular map houses one of the alien’s homes. The labyrinth pretty much runs how the game will play out. If you are running low on resources you can resort to knocking out the map to regain those resources. Whenever you knock out a wall you get a piece of “Biomass”, and these act as the resource needed to use perks. But creating the perfect layout to defend is not the only good thing these walls are for. This is where strategy really starts kicking in, and even after playing several times I still don’t feel like I have a great grasp on the best ways to set up a defense. But the main idea is that you can destroy very specific parts to make kill zones, trap enemies, and give the aliens an upper hand to help achieve victory. Theoretically you could destroy every single wall in this world and have one big open battlefield if you really wanted. One of the things that really makes this unique is that it can be completely destroyed. The labyrinth, or battlefield, is where all the action takes place. Customize and control 4 alien swarms simultaneously, and defend your home from would-be human invaders! Play alone, or play online with a friend, and defend your hive together! Hive Defender The Labyrinth I love this style of game.Ī fast-paced strategy-shooter that takes place in a procedurally-generated and fully-destructible labyrinth. This is not a mindless game to sit back and just chill on, you have to pay attention and know the surroundings. Between the seven different types of enemies, six world obstacles like plants and rocks, and controlling four separate herds of aliens there was a lot going on. Even after going through the simple tutorial I still had a lot to learn and I knew it. ![]() Let me tell you, the first playthrough I got wrecked in minutes. One flat world that is completely on the screen, how could such a thing be so complicated? While checking out the images and videos it seemed simple enough. The first thing I noticed on the website was the amount of detail it, descriptions of every plant and enemy were listed. I like checking out the developer’s websites before trying out a game just to get a little more detail on what to expect. While browsing some upcoming indie games I stumbled across Hive Defender.
