One of my favorite Tower Defense games of all times. I have over 1000 hours of play time on steam and several hundreds on the old version from before Steam. I don't play it anymore because there simply isn't any more I could possibly do after reaching level 1000+ on the main planet. To the people who say that there isn't anything you can do to win because you can't upgrade the towers, you should know that there is...

OK in normal mode this game is good up to a point. You can not upgrade a single thing period. There is no way to win. So in my view it is a flop. It would be worth buying if it was $0.99 but above that hell no.

Well, now you've gone and done it. You've made a remarkably unique Tower Defense game, and that takes some serious effort these days, along with a whole lot of crazy. Harvest: Massive Encounter is honestly just that: a TD game. If you like TD games, you're going to enjoy it. So what makes it so unique compared to the others out there on the market, from the starcraft 2 maps to flash games? First off, resource...

☺ A different twist on Tower Defence. ☺ Heavy on strategy. ☺ Solid mechanics. ☹ Limited diversity. ☹ Repetitive. Harvest: Massive Encounter is appropriately named. It's up to you to defend yourself against large waves of enemies that attack from all sides rather than predefined routes as you harvest a finite amount of resources and build up your defences, enabling you to expand your territory to harvest yet more...

Not sure when it came to steam, but I bought it directly from Oxeye nearly a decade ago, and I frequently come back to it. Gladly bought it again. With tough acchievements to keep challenging you, this unique Tower Defense might have you yelling at the sceen, or even going out of your way to destroy any spinning yellow disc-like objects. I've found myself getting into the 'one more run' mentality about it on more...

It’s like falling in love and having the time of your life, only to realize a few months in that it won’t last long-term. This game is very unique, very beautiful, and constantly pushes you to experiment. It teaches creativity, lets you build your own approach, and delivers experiences you won’t find anywhere else. That phase alone makes it a must-play. But eventually, routine sets in. You start telling yourself...

It's just a bit of a spam-fest. Probably not the tower defense game you're looking for. Price hasn't changed since it came out in 2008. Clearly more like a £1.59 game.

Game no longer works for me and many other players. Seems to be a common issue with turrets not attacking anymore.
