Elemental War 2 Switch NSP Free Download Romslab Do you ever get cravings for particular types of games, only to realise that nothing good has been released in that genre for quite a while? Like maybe you want a new RTS, but you’ve played all the best ones to death, and there’s nothing to scratch that very particular itch. Well, lately I’ve been feeling that way with tower defence. Enter Elemental War 2. On the surface, it seemed like the exact type of TD I was looking for with a fantasy theme, extraordinary creatures, an interesting array of towers, and a top-down view, but unfortunately it came off lacking.

There are the bones of what could be an excellent game but not much thought has been put into making it an enjoyable experience. On the surface Elemental War 2 appears like any other tower-defense style game – where you place various towers among a pathway and prevent enemies from entering through a portal. The longer your session goes, the faster the spawn rates for various enemies, requiring you to build up a strong defense from the start to hold off early problems and continuing to enhance your towers quality and quantity.

The popular tower defense game principle with new gameplay elements

Elemental War 2 takes you into a threatened world: hordes of monsters suddenly pour out of the abysses of hell from a faulty summoned portal. Will you manage to build a defense line of defense towers against the forces of evil in time? Elemental War 2 offers you the popular tower defense feeling combined with innovative game mechanics: as soon as you defeat an elemental – a particularly strong enemy that will demand everything from you – you’ll receive its element stone, which you can use to build new defense towers. As you keep collecting elements, you’ll always have new levels and tower combinations at your disposal. Anodyne 2: Return to Dust Switch

Only if you skillfully combine the different towers and make use of their advantages will you be able to stand up to the monster hordes. Through in-game side quests, you’ll also unlock items that further enhance the abilities of your towers or decisively weaken your opponents at just the right time! Elemental War 2 offers you dozens of hours of gameplay to develop strategies, complete all the quests and discover all the secrets of the game world. The lovingly hand-built maps offer you varied games and always new challenges!

Face the powerful elementals and their special abilities

Starting off with the tutorial — or rather the lack of one — the only guidance given is the usual annoyance of throwing a bunch of text at the player when they start up their first game in the hopes that they retain it for when it’s applicable. Maybe I’m on my own here but I don’t want to feel like I’m studying for a test and have to take notes just to remember the very basics of how to play. Luckily, the gameplay is quite intuitive once you get the hang of it, allowing you to experiment and figure out the different tower abilities as you go. Another Tomorrow Switch NSP

The later stage of a level becomes difficult though, as there is a tipping point where you go from dominating everything to suddenly being steamrolled if you haven’t been careful with the progression of your towers. Your towers start with a basic attack, and upgrading allows you to select an element, which opens up the pathway for further progression. What makes the upgrading of your towers unique is the mixing of elements. Putting two different towers within range of each other allows you to combine their elements to access more powerful abilities, like my personal favourite, the flamethrower.

Play 11 varied maps in three unique environments: forest, ice and desert

The most comical part of Elemental War 2 is likely the many and various creatures/enemies that you get to destroy. The large variety is both a positive and a negative because while having so many might give the player more to learn and explore, it makes for an inconsistent theme. One minute you’re taking down minotaurs and hydras when out comes a few raptors and it seems a bit strange, but I draw the line at the dynamite robot boss walking down the road of a medieval village. There’s no balance in the setting and everything is just hurled out at random, which can be fun but it amplifies the seeming lack of thought put into the experience.

Pacing is just non-existent. There is no beginner level to give you a small introduction; new creatures just keep spilling out to the point you stop paying attention. There isn’t much in the way of meaningful progression. What you get in the first level of the game just seems to be its entirety. It would be nice if there were perhaps different modes or just generally any kind of variation in gameplay. Elements are unlocked by summoning and killing bosses of their respective type, which is one of the few things that help draw you into the battle a bit more. Playing with the elemental combos is pretty much the only interesting gameplay there is, unfortunately. Anti Hero Bundle Switch NSP
