MarZ Rising - Early Access Watcher -
1Disclosure: This game copy was bought by the reviewer.
The year is 2065. Humanity is preparing to colonize Mars, but a terrible secret holds back the objective. Something has been on the red planet and it has returned as the undead. Utilizing specials weapons, carefully placed towers and a steady flow of reinforcements, it is your job to fend off the incoming hordes and identify their origin.
Alright, I planned to post this video a few days ago, but I wanted to make sure I had a better idea of the current level count. Right now, the game offers 13 out of the planned 20 story levels and they all have their own challenge to overcome, from using nukes to deal with unimaginable hordes to relying on laser turrets' range to handle the quick runners. It is quite polished at the moment with the only real issue being a rare case of floating zombies. It is an interesting change of pace for the standard tower defense formula and kept me on my feet the whole time. Given my dexterity issues, however, the difficulty might vary. Voice acting, average. Story, decent if not a bit forgettable. I can't say for sure if I could recommend it at $15 dollars, but I can safely say it is one of the best initial releases into Early Access this year.
