Eh, if you get legitimate and permanent buffs in the process, then it seems fine. Whether it's 'optimal' or not may be debatable, but it's an alternate game plan that adds to casual fun. That's really what matters more than anything. I get what you're saying, and I don't think you're entirely wrong, but that also doesn't mean it's a bad thing either.
Dan’s callback game is incredible, and his attention to detail is immaculate. Between “ROOK” in Ouroboros King and the “friendship ended” memes in Tower Escape, along with highlighting which game elements Tyler is talking about, explaining things that confuse Tyler and/or might confuse us (like the succubus purchase), and even playing out a sequence of moves to explain to the audience what Tyler is seeing in the future in Ouroboros King, he makes every video both extremely viewer-friendly and absolutely hilarious. Probably my favorite editor on the platform right now. Keep it up! Edit: Also, his references are top notch. Stanley Parable? SLAP THE MONKEY?? Incredible
By the way, if you decide to play again you can see if upgrades are available for a minion, all you have to do is hover your mouse over combine for a moment and if the minion portrait changes and has text you can, even if you don't have the available minions. If it doesn't it just says no upgrade available. Hope this helps if ya do play again
I bought this immediately after your first video, can't wait to see you trying stuff like permadeath and classic snake mode, bc those have both stumped me HARD on anything but easy difficulty.
Permadeth is hard as undead but with enchanted you can do it since they have high health. On easy you can get the two minions per wave and permadeath achievements at the same time using wisp.
Discovered mechanics: after a certain point(uncertain where, on the tower), whenever you send your path into the range of any tower, that tower will be leveled up the next run through. It happens with knights, at least.
Kinda odd that the undead seems to be entirely antisynergy with themselves. Tanks with on death effects that largely increade their own health, making them less likely to die.
There was a bunch of those, most in Flash. I think there's a Bloons TD game that's like both regular TD and reverse at the same time. It's pvp and you send bloons to the enemy while also defending yourself from their bloons
What if they made a reverse reverse tower defense game where you actually placed towers to stop enemies from getting to the exit. Someone should do that.
The grub and maggot are overpowered, just slam them in with a bunch of zombabys and grubs and even queens, and you’ll get ever expanding armies of maggots and queens
I believe that for next time you should place the zombies last, instead of first. This is because with the speed curve they get mixes up quickly, in contrast if they were to be last they would always die, for they Cannot catch up.
Why do you have it on fast forward during the actual tower defense part? Makes it way too fast. Thats the most interesting part, seeing how the strategy works out and you're speeding past it.
That's actually the point. The zombies having reduced health makes the zed also have reduced health, which makes them much more likely to die and produce zombabies. Prior to that the zeds were surviving, which isn't good for the build.
@@pinkythestrongestyoshi1626 "only catch is they have more health" that probably wasn't the plan. He mightve thought zed also loses health and the health would come back after combining "The zed also has reduced health" he didn't know it would have reduced health. So he and I didn't see the bigger plan but you did.
second video on this game, and again I'm noticing the music. I swear I've heard it before but cannot figure out where. it is driving me insane please someone help.
I almost feel like I'm getting used to the editing... But every time I notice I realize all over again how awesome it really is! The highlights and flashbacks really help to understand Tyler's thought processes, and the little funnies are just pure entertainment!
Incidentally, I have it the opposite way, these random pop-ups distract me from my thoughts and than have me thinking about these instead of the game and possibilities. The highlights can be useful, as long as they don’t block vision of other stuff.
I downloaded this game after the last episode and anyway nothing like playing a game Tyler has played to make me appreciate how good he is at it
Absolutely! I got it in a pack with a tower defense roguelite, I hope Tyler plays that too.
Yeah absolutely seeing him get through shotgun king but also knowing he struggled at times and I gave up on that game
So true
Me with Peglin
That's me playing Alina at the moment
I like this game, but it feels weird there’s a score bonus for perfect survival when there’s a whole archetype built around summoning when killed
some give you an extra unit which is worth x gold. so it balances out.
Why is that weird? it means you have to make a sacrifice. That’s good

@@willdutt That would only be true for the perfect survival gold bonus. OP mentioned a score bonus.
@@feha92 if you have a literal army, you can grab a ton of loot and brute force high survival numbers to get points that way

Yeah, every time i had literally anything bad to say about tyler in the past (like wondering what some items and stuff do) now i dont!

The editor of Tyler’s videos are having a field day today
I've been looking for a reverse tower defense game recently, and coincidentally found your channel yesterday.
This feels like fate
if you’re anything like me you’ll come to Alienrocks for 1 game and stay for the rest, one of my favorite channels on youtube.
I bought this immediately after your first video, can't wait to see you trying stuff like permadeath and classic snake mode, bc those have both stumped me HARD on anything but easy difficulty.
I feel like I end up buying games Aliensrock makes videos about.

100% interested to see Cultist + Dienna synergy. Both of them buffed up, cultist keeps spawning people to get 1shot while Dienna gets massive stats
yeah loving the series would love to watch more! Really well developed game and concept
Pretty slick "slap the monkey" reference at 16:23, a game from the dawn of the internet, in the before times
Always the goat at whatever game you play, glad to see it
The GOAT of all time
Thanks for the video Tyler and editors!
no matter how much Tyler says this is a reverse TD game, I always see it as a minion race game.
😂😂😂
Challenge run idea: You have to click on just the exit, and let the pathing do it for you.
You should play Mindustry it's essentially factorio mixed with tower defense elements
Im so happy you are playing this game again.
Kinda odd that the undead seems to be entirely antisynergy with themselves.
Tanks with on death effects that largely increade their own health, making them less likely to die.
They decrease their health with each death actually
@@dooddoingstuff Only un upgraded zombies do
This was a super fun build. Looking forward to seeing a fully upgraded undead build somewhere down the line
Nice! You really made the synergy work!
Imagine being a elite guard and see zombies named bub just rush through your defenses.
Bubs are op, zombies too
We need more reverse tower defense games, this is so far the only reverse tower defense i know
There was a bunch of those, most in Flash. I think there's a Bloons TD game that's like both regular TD and reverse at the same time. It's pvp and you send bloons to the enemy while also defending yourself from their bloons
@@RADZIO895 that's bloons td battles...?
@@arandomyoutubeuser4873 quite likely
Can't wait to see more from this game
What if they made a reverse reverse tower defense game where you actually placed towers to stop enemies from getting to the exit. Someone should do that.
If he wanted a zombie to die. He should have put them at the end so they are always attacked when they come out.
Exactly, i literally looked at the comments to see if anyone talked about this
Good video. Watched the whole thing and liked it
I 100% agree with Dan's unparalleled love of shroomy
OMG. Finally Tower Offense game. this is a unique representative of its kind
Cannot overrstate how much I'm loving this game!
You should consider buying it, I did totally worth it if it keeps getting updates
Snagged the bundle with this and the tactics roguelike after your last video - really enjoying these videos! Looking forward to more c:
Holy crap that spank the monkey reference. That was a huge throwback.
I appreciate the visual feedback in the video so we can see what you're talking about
Please do a series on this it's great
Bubbub bub bub, bubb. Bub bubbub bub? Bub!
Day 868 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it.
I finally remembered to sleep early lol
thank you tyler for avoiding death, very cool!
The grub and maggot are overpowered, just slam them in with a bunch of zombabys and grubs and even queens, and you’ll get ever expanding armies of maggots and queens
16:43 reference to smack the monkey a flash game where you smack the inflatable monkey (the exact same to the one on screen)
I believe that for next time you should place the zombies last, instead of first. This is because with the speed curve they get mixes up quickly, in contrast if they were to be last they would always die, for they Cannot catch up.
"Zed's dead, baby."
He'll yeah, the more I've been waiting for!
Nice Stanley Parable reference
good editing on making the things you talk about glow. just wanted to comment about it :)
"only tower defense where you send the enemies" says the guy whose channel was built on BTDB
This game looks AWESOME.
You should play The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk
Can you consider putting links in the description to the first half of the video or the playlist?
I swear I thought I heard an 8-bit version of RosenkreuzStilette Freudenstachel's final boss theme at 21:01
great video!
It would seem Garrett Howard has finally remembered to go to bed. Huh.
Loved the video
btw Dieana can be upgraded. I think you couldn't due to the sockets as I got Karrion every time. the upgrade of Deiana
Day 3 of asking Tyler to do a big brain playthrough of Universal Paperclips, and also Day 1 of asking: Where's GemCraft - Frostborn Wrath?
Contemplating getting this game lol thanks Tyler.
You should try a game call bombe is a kind of mindsweeper
Do you stream? I would love to watch if you do!
I have enjoyed tonight's video
They should do a game like this but twitch chat controls the waves and you have to defend against it
next time get a doggo! i want to see his evolution
Game audio is a bit loud, but great video regardless
I did as you hoped and enjoyed this content (y)
Can you someday build deck around having as many monsters as you can?
Can you use the succubus and incubus to farm zombies?
Was playing undead had a himotep with like 20-30 speed
I said this on the last video, but this music really reminds me of classic mega man music. I would say it makes me think of late classic, like 7-9
The facecam moved, witchcraft I say, witchcraft! Oh that was last episode's joke? Well ummm
Why do you have it on fast forward during the actual tower defense part? Makes it way too fast. Thats the most interesting part, seeing how the strategy works out and you're speeding past it.
What happens if one of their speed goes down to 0?
Good video
Imagine explaining why you have so many dead children named bub on your computer💀
You have alerted the hoard
My dude hates mummys
I love commanding monsters to take them on several men
Day 3 of asking Tyler to come back to vampire survivors
Was that a Stanley Parable reference?
Why did he decide to make the zombies have less health before turning them into zed? It just seems like makes it have less health. Zed doesn't lose hp
That's actually the point. The zombies having reduced health makes the zed also have reduced health, which makes them much more likely to die and produce zombabies. Prior to that the zeds were surviving, which isn't good for the build.
@@pinkythestrongestyoshi1626 "only catch is they have more health" that probably wasn't the plan.

So he and I didn't see the bigger plan but you did.
@@pinkythestrongestyoshi1626 his reaction to zed having less health was "I don't think I care"
This game kinda reminds me of btd battles
What's the hubbub, Bub?
Cheese
Imagine not summoning a zombie horde

This game would be impossible if you cant overlay paths
Day 71 of asking Tyler to cosplay as a Peglin for his loyal fans
i just cant win with undead, floor 1 or 2 always gets me, unlike ur zombies and banshees mine refuse to die lol
Wait, that minion can grow stronger just by having others die? Oh, it's too slow to be relevant and is not a snowball. That's sad.
Poggers
les gooooooooooooo
I think the towers are a bit too boring, i get that the game isnt suposed to focus on the towers but making some more creative towers would be nice
+1
Ok
More Tylerrrrr
play it all ghost
Pls collab with frostprime
new vid lfg
Thumbnail looks like a tree
I am speed
hello person reading this
Oop
Day 41 of asking for a Return of the Obra Dinn series
