It does have a unique tower combination spell system that allows players to unleash devastating attacks (with a high energy price) when certain conditions are met in specific lanes, but players aren't even introduced to this ability until nearly 20 levels into the game. From the standard five-by-nine gridded field upon which the action is set to the types of defenses provided - energy harvesting units, enemy-slowing units, barrier units, et cetera - it sometimes feels like the folks who made Riftbound perhaps went beyond inspiration and homage and stumbled into rip-off territory. It's pretty straightforward, but if things get too tough, kids can knock down the difficulty to suit their abilities until they become more practiced in deploying their defenses.īut it's difficult not to notice just how similar Riftbound is to PopCap's classic tower defense series. This gives players a chance to learn about and experiment with each new addition to their magic arsenal so that they can make good use of them in later levels. Elementals and spells are gradually introduced at a pace of no more than one per stage.
It doesn't spend any more time than necessary establishing the setting and story, opting instead to ensure players move straight into combat and jump quickly from one level to the next. Riftbound has a lovely fantasy cartoon aesthetic complimented by an upbeat and dynamic orchestral score that helps set an adventuresome tone. Zombies-style experience should be plenty satisfied by this polished little strategy game. It's not terribly original, but anyone aching for a new Plants Vs. But players are only allowed to bring a limited number of elementals and spells into each level, which adds to the challenge. As the game progresses, players unlock new elementals and spells as well as evolve their existing arsenal of magic, providing more strategic options for future battles. If things get too hairy, players can spend energy on spells that will greatly damage and/or bump enemies to other lanes. The challenge comes in choosing which types of defenses to spend energy on and which lanes to place them in as enemies grow in strength and number. These defenses cost energy, which is gradually generated and collected via magic aetherlings and collected by a wisp. Enemies trudge along lanes toward magic seals that they want to destroy, but they must overcome the defenses players put in place to reach them, which include a variety of blockades and elemental creatures that spew flames, frost, lightning, and other forms of magic. Players are put in control of an army of magical creatures that must defend against waves of skeletons and trolls slowly marching across fields. RIFTBOUND is a lane-based tower defense game very similar in concept to Plants Vs.
