After finishing a wave, you can get an upgrade on the skill tree. Choose wisely to make your turrets stronger. == Turrets == Each turret have unique behaviors based on it's color: Shooters shoots faster and it's bullets may pierce enemies; Arcanes are focused on casting magic-bolts and thunders. == Upgrades == After finishing a wave, you may pick an upgrade to buff your turrets, choose wisely! Going for the Shooter path blocks you from following the Arcane one. == Features == * 12+ turrets, each with unique attacks * 4+ classes, each with unique effects and behaviours * 20 waves, making the game harder on the late-game * 4+ enemies, each with unique attributes Information Seller:MAZETTE LTD Genre:Action, Strategy Release:May 10, 2023 Updated:May 10, 2023 Version:1.0 Size:48.3 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating:Unrated Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube Channel elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #2 elcrazy, May 12, 2023 Makers of SNKRX is enough for me.

Exactly what you would expect from this developer. It really speaks for itself. Anyone who enjoyed SNKRX need to pick this up!

Honestly, I’m wondering where all the SNKRX fans are. I figured they’d be jumping all over this by now and singing it’s praises. I’m still experimenting with the different builds and trying to figure out what each mid-run upgrade does, since there doesn’t appear to be a description anywhere. The dev replied to my positive comment on Twitter and was very open to feedback. I’m going to direct them (Softwool) to this thread. Hopefully they check in. MetaGonzo Well-Known Member May 7, 2009 1,459 271 83 #5 MetaGonzo, May 12, 2023 Well, much like my first forays into SNKRX I am confused and easily defeated. The fact that I went on to develop a deep and abiding love for that game gives me high hopes for this. Eventually. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 704 113 #6 anthony78, May 12, 2023 The word auto-chess threw me off wanting this game as I really don’t like that genre.

Just my personal pet peeve those ”small amount+” descriptions. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #8 elcrazy, May 13, 2023 The mid run upgrades do tell you what they do. Hold down on them to read a description. You can also scroll the page. It’s much larger skill tree than it looks. I am still experimenting as well. I still haven’t beaten it yet. Would love to get some gems and unlock some starting talents. And I agree!! Where are all the SNKRX fans??? elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #9 elcrazy, May 13, 2023 Agreed on the auto chess. That threw me off as well. No idea why that is in the description. There is literally zero chess in this game lol. Wall Jump Games Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2020 169 88 28 Male #10 Wall Jump Games, May 13, 2023 SNKRX is autochess snake, haven’t picked this up yet, but I’d guess that description is accurate. Wall Jump Games Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2020 169 88 28 Male #11 Wall Jump Games, May 13, 2023 I believe the dev did some NFT stuff or starting promoting a ton of NFTs on Twitter, something to do with NFTs, and that probably decreased his fanbase, and also they might just not know it’s out.

I was trying to see if the SNKRX dev was just a member of this team, but yeah, just the same artstyle, and same inspiration of auto-chess + other genre. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 704 113 #15 anthony78, May 13, 2023 Every definition I’ve seen of auto chess involved chess-like rules and are played on a chess board grid. Neither of these games have that so I have no idea why they use that classification but whatever…. I actively dislike true auto-chess games I’ve tried but like SNKRX because it’s not like those games. MetaGonzo Well-Known Member May 7, 2009 1,459 271 83 #16 MetaGonzo, May 13, 2023 Once you get a handle on what’s what and you need to spend less time reading the text it’s actually perfectly playable in portrait. Up to NG+3 now. It gets pretty busy on wave 40+ to the point where it’s fairly hard to see what you’re actually doing. It’s more a case of slapping down the turrets where they look like they might be needed and hoping there’s a blank space under the wall of projectiles covering your base layout, meaningful strategy going out the window. Maybe it’s early days, maybe that’s just me! A couple of annoyances. When you chose a turret to place and the selection is “locked” to that type but you haven’t confirmed the position the payment is taken. If you change your mind and press the trash can, the payment is returned and the selection “unlocked” again. All very well; however if the end of a wave comes along whilst you’re in that limbo state, the upgrade screen pops up and the payment is lost with no turret. At higher waves that can happen sooner than you think. I built up 7 trait gems before I went to use them. As I was tapping the traits to see a description I was actually buying them. My bad for not paying more attention but it’s hardly how you would expect it to work. Sometimes the wave upgrade screen will trap you there after your selection is made with the done button not returning you to the action. So far some random tapping has eventually moved me on. There’s still a lot to explore; I haven’t really touched on the shooter side of things (a trait is available to allow you to upgrade both sides rather than one being locked when you make an early upgrade decision). However; my gut tells me that whilst I quite like it, I’m never going to love it. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #17 elcrazy, May 13, 2023 Last edited: May 13, 2023 How are you beating this? Lol. I can’t get past level 12 or 12. Usually don’t pass 9 or 10. Can’t feel what I can doing wrong. Game is great but finding it quite hard lol. Edit: well just played again and had my best game by far. Made it to level 18. Tried a new strategy. Gonna give it another go with that strat.

I only had a few goes with shooter and just couldn’t get going. The start is really tough in comparison. When you get the option to NG+ it you start off with more money. It’s literally a much, much easier start than the straight up beginning. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #19 elcrazy, May 13, 2023 Been trying mostly with arcane. Just can’t seem to beat it. 18 was my highest. Avg is 10 lol. How do you get the Gems?
