Idle Tower: Dark Forest

Today's game is: Idle defense: Dark Forest

Idle Defense is a proper tower defense game. You have to build and upgrade towers to protect your home crystal.


Here is the main screen. There are two currencies, gold and premium diamonds. The tower can be upgraded to a point but then you must merge them to level them again. There are special combinations of tower types that will evolve into a new type if you beat certain levels.


You can also unlock demon helpers to defeat the monsters attacking your home. You can use diamonds or watch videos to get shards. The rarer the demon the more shards it takes. Note: I've used diamonds twice in the 600 summon but I never got any creature shares. I've only git pink shards used to upgrade demons.

Here you can spin for free once an hour or watch videos to get bonus goodies. If you spin up to 10 times a day, you get free demon shards.

Under the second tab, is a list of skills you can use in the battle to decent your home. You can spend gold to upgrade your skills.

As you ascend and restart your game, you unlock green orbs to power up different permanent buffs. You also use the green orbs to upgrade your demons.

The fourth tab gives you access to daily missions that give you bonus gold.

The last tab is a store for buying premium currency or watching videos for a few bonuses.

Here is a sample of the enemies you'll fight. Each level ends with a very strong boss creature.

Here is a sample of some towers you'll find in the game.

I'm sorry about the screenshots. For some reason, this game pulled up the bottom bar every time.

Overall:

5 of 5 cogs.

This game is simple to play for a time then forget about it. There are many towers to unlock but a lot of content is not yet available. The game looks like it was made during a game jam.

Story:

3 of 5 cogs.

You get a short introductory story and a small tutorial. After, there is no story.

Amount of ads:

There are no popup ads that play during gameplay. You can watch optional ads for bonuses.

Advertised as seen:
💯% 

As far as I've seen, the screenshots are accurate. I do not remember if I've seen ads for this game.

Graphics:

 5 of 5 cogs.

The graphics are great for this type of game. A slight but cartoony, but I do not fault with them.

Audio:

 3 of 5 cogs.

The music is eerie and reminds me of Halloween and haunted houses. The sound effects are simple and repetitive.


Gameplay:

 5 of 5 cogs.

Build, merge, repeat. The game is a nice mix of two games as one. Everything is tap and click and I've not noticed any bugs or glitches.

Free play:
 ðŸ’¯%

You can easily play and advance this game without paying any money at all.

Fun factor:
😎 Highly rated.

This game is very fun to play. It takes a while before I got any sort of bored with it.
