Plan for different types of enemies, manage your economy or you WILL fail. Even more fun with some friends. Great community. Pros: -Tons of different tower/perk/weapon combinations -Co-op -"Feats of strength", for extra challenging gameplay -DLC content is great -Easter eggs and the secret areas -Vastly different techniques/towers required for bosses and different types of enemies -Runs on the potatoest of computers Cons: -exiting the game forces you to go through unnecessary visuals -"Feats of strength" are slightly hidden, making you forget to turn them on/off before loading -Having to go through the ENTIRE process of setup to change anything even before the first round started. Forgot to remove a feat of strength? Quit to main menu, choose map, disable the feat of strength, load map and and choose character, weapons, perks and towers. Luckily loading times isn't an issue -Boring grind if you're stuck and need to unlock a new tower/weapon/perk to ease story progression Gameplay is great but progression can be slow. Small tweaks in strategy can take longer time than it should because of the setup phase.

Sanctum 2 is a great sequel to Sanctum. Many of the mechanics are the same, but there are many new features to it as well. You are able to use a great selection of weapons and towers, and the characters bring an interesting twist to the game. It is even better since it is able to be played with friends.

I never had a friend to play this with, which I guess damages my opinion on this game. Played alone it was really boring. The shooting feels really weird and aiming not natural at all. Building towers and trying too make a labyrinth is pretty fun though, and there's a good amount of towers to choose between. The enemies are pretty boring to. The design of them is pretty dull, and they don't really do anything especially interesting, except having different weak points. Before each level you get to customize your character with towers, weapons (one primary and one secondary) and perks. There's a good amount to choose between. I recommend this if you have a friend to play with. Alone it's getting really boring.

The game is an upgrade in graphics compared to the first Sanctum. The game is definitely a buy if you enjoyed the first one. With that said, the first one is not required to play the second since there is no real story that connects the two. The gameplay is more or less the same as the first one. You set up towers and create your "maze" and shoot at the waves of enemies. The game rewards accuracy and speed when it comes to shooting down enemies as they all have weak points. Tower placement is also crucial. Multiplayer makes this game even better since everything is more fun with friends!

So, like many of my games, I bought this because it was on sale, without really knowing if it was worth it or not. It is. I've never been a fan of tower defense games, but this one is really simple. The round starts, you have some time to put down walls and turrets. Then the show starts and a lot of enemies appear. You gun them down like you would in any other rpg. Is simple, and that's one of the best things of the game. That aside, the online is really enjoyable, the game will get you hooked easily with the different turrets and weapons you can unlock. The different characters play totally different, so it's an important choice. Some levels can be really hard without friends, so bear that in mind when you try to beat a hard level alone. The visual design of the game is really pretty to look at. Graphics are really awesome and music isn't not the greatest thing, but it's more than enough. If you like this kind of games, is a no brainer. If you don't, then you should look into it, as it is a really good game and you should check it out. Really cool coop action plus strategy.
