Get ready to experience a revolution in tower defense that will send you spinning. Unstoppable Gorg challenges you to defend the solar system from fearsome aliens by sending satellites into orbit. Unlike other tower defense games, in Unstoppable Gorg you can move your towers by rotating the orbits that surround planets, moons and space stations.
Unstoppable Gorg is a lovingly crafted homage to vintage sci-fi films from the 1950s. Flying saucers, rubbery aliens, dodgy effects, it's got it all. The game's story scenes were shot on film using models, miniatures and live action actors and then edited together with genuine archive footage to create a classic sci-fi experience that is out of this world.
Features:
Take on the Gorg in more than 40 challenging levels of revolutionary tower defense action.
Satellites in orbit replace the towers and grid layout used in other tower defense games.
Move your satellites around their orbits to create the best defense for each wave.
Experience a thrilling story inspired by the classic sci-fi films of the 1950s.
Glorious 3D graphics and effects for added impact.

Plan 9 from Outer Space!
joel_calderon | May 4, 2013 | See all joel_calderon's reviews »Unstoppable Gorg is yet another tower defense game. It did not blow my mind away in terms of its game play or graphics, but it did keep me interested for a few hours. I do think Hidden Path’s Defense Grid is still better, but Unstoppable Gorg can hold its own.
Strangely enough, when I play the game, it gives me the feeling that I am in a colored version of Ed Wood Jr.’s movie, “Plan 9 from Outer Space”. Maybe it is all those UFO-esque graphics, or maybe it is those “funky” sound. In any case, it adds another level of fun to my playing it.
Lastly, there is no multiplayer whatsoever. This may be a deal-breaker for some gamers, but not for me, as I enjoy single-player gaming equally as multiplayer.
All in all, Unstoppable Gorg is a good game for its price.

Interesting tower defence game
lachking | Feb. 15, 2013 | See all lachking's reviews »Unstoppable Gorg is a solid game with some interesting concepts. The most interesting concept is the whole orbital interface where you can rotate your towers around to move them to better placement in facing the changing enemy waves. The visual style is nice, with good textures and the ability to zoom in and out. The voice acting in the cinematics is a bit embarrassing, but it does set a humorous tone for the game. In spite of the interesting concepts, there are some pitfalls. The difficulty for starters is quite high, and you will likely need to replay levels a lot to succeed. Although you can unlock additional towers, there no real variety in the levels, nor is there a large variety in enemies. In this regard, the game can also get rather repetitive. Overall however, the game is still a solid experience with some differences over more traditional tower defence games.

A decent TD for free
eL_Jay | Feb. 11, 2013 | See all eL_Jay's reviews »Got this game during the free give-away @ GMG. In my opinion Unstoppable Gorg is a decent TD with innovative gameplay and a cool retro-sauce which is done fingerlikking good. The gameplay is good (not great) and has some innovative design making use of geostationary orbits. The flicks/Story before and after the mission are really cool if you like the retro design.
US is a decent TD which should also attract the more casual gamers, unlike the imo superior Defense Grid which is more for the enthousiasts.
Get this game for free or a few euro's, but don't pay more then a fiver.

Unique TD
lok0812 | Feb. 10, 2013 | See all lok0812's reviews »A typical TD game originated from iOS, the unique twist of this TD from other ones is that you can rotate the circles you built your towers on to defend from other paths using the same towers which add another level of strategy in building and moving. Downside of this is the game doesn't last long at all, if done correctly the entire game can be completed within 2-3 hours. Replayability is present in the forms of research upgrades and optional objectives from each map. Regardless on the length of the game, this is still a great addition for TD fans.

Tower defense... IN SPACE!
Maniacal | Feb. 10, 2013 | See all Maniacal's reviews »Unstoppable Gorg is a tower defense game IN SPACE!!! It plays more or less like every other tower defense game but it does let you move towers around (which is useful since the enemies do take different paths). The cheesy sci-fi alien theme is what really sets it apart from other tower defense games and makes it memorable and actually worth playing (if you like tower defense games) and it has a soundtrack to match that theme. Its a good quality casual time waster which makes it stand out from the ocean of low-quality time wasters and casual titles out there.
