Popular Post Burpling Posted June 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Let me preface this by saying that I absolutely loved this game on my Nintendo DS – probably one of my top 3 favorite DS games – but do yourselves a favor and avoid this game. This port/remake was quite simply, terrible. For a game made by a supposed AAA publisher, there does not appear to be any sort QA done (or maybe the devs didn't listen) as the game is riddled with bugs and glitches. Here's a quick list of some of the major problems (keep scrolling if you just want to know about the bugged achieves): FPS and lag – Game is literally unplayable during the later stages of the game (stage 50+) in hard mode because of the insane FPS drops. During the last 10-20 seconds in some of these stages, good luck doing anything because the game stops taking input from your controller and you're basically watching a slideshow. At this point, just pray and hope that your structures will survive. Collision detection and pathing – Incredibly annoying trying to get from one place on a map to another because there always seems to be something invisible blocking your way. Also special skills will sometimes cause you to be stuck afterwards (happens when you activate the skill in a narrow space). A common sight is also seeing enemies run around in circles or in random directions. Retrying and resetting map – Terribly, terribly broken. Retrying sometimes causes you to lose certain towers and replaces it with towers that you were using a couple of rounds ago. Alternatively, it's also possible to bug it in a way for you to keep your towers and money... Also, there's another game-breaking bug that allows you to get infinite resources by abusing the reset map option. PS4 controls – Default controls are awful and there's no way to remap them. A little difficult to explain, but you'll quickly understand what I mean if you start playing it. Basically when you're trying to do one thing, half the time you end up doing something else because the controls are setup in such a nonsensical way. There's also really bad responsiveness when attacking enemies and repairing towers (even when it's not lagging) – it just seems delayed. Finally, the button to keep the camera centered on Lock seems to only work half the time for some reason. There are also a number of other issues that I have with this game, but I'll leave that for some other time. Finally, for those of you wondering about the bugged achievements, let me help you out: The Chosen One - Complete the game on 'HARD' mode – First thing I did when I started up the game was switch to hard mode. Never switched back once. Beat the game after almost wanting to shoot myself at several points, and trophy did not pop. Full Metal Detail - Build a Map with 1 of each Turret, Trap and Helper – Built every single turret, trap, and helper in a single map, but trophy did not pop (even after clearing the stage). Have yet to try it in the Antonia Defense mode, but I assume the outcome will be the same. Archineer Recruit - Survive 10 straight days of Antonia Defense – I got this after beating the game for some reason (so it's obviously bugged). You're supposed to earn this trophy by surviving for 10 days in the bonus mode that unlocks after clearing the game. LockDown - Complete the Game on Normal Mode without Dying – Not even going to attempt this, but I'm almost certain this is broken as well. Based on my experience, the game has a really hard to keeping track of things; especially death. In other words, don't even bother with trying to 100% this game right now. It's impossible. This game was a massive headache; I'll probably never touch it ever again – and I hope you guys won't have to either.

MMDE Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) That really sucks, hopefully the devs fix this in a patch. Are you sure this applies for the PS4 version? Because your message seems to apply to PC or Xbox version? Edited June 18, 2017 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only played through the PS4 version of the game, but I'd imagine you'd find some of the same problems on the PC and Xbox as well. As of this post, the game has not received any updates and is still broken... woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soufwar Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I just bought the game in the sale for 2$ without checking, I always check my games before I buy them and this is the very first game I bought without checking, I regret it because I know I threw 2$ away. Its disappointing to hear this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure Sony does so if a game is flat out broken like this one is (that Afro Samurai game, for example). It's not even just trophies, it's the game itself. How a port of a fucking DS game has frame drops on the PS fucking 4 is beyond me. What an absolutely miserable excuse for a port that they obviously give no shits about people paying for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirFreecss Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 What a shame. I loved this game when I played it in NDS and was very surprised to see it was on PS4 in the sales. Glad I checked before buying so I didn't get dissapointed, I guess I will replay it in NDS someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
