Crypto: Against all odds is a tower defense game, where you take the role of a cybersecurity expert to fight against hackers and other blockchain threats in this cypherpunk interactive fiction. Combined with squad customization, base/tower building, and simulation. Defend the blockchain!
The game casts players in the role of a blockchain security expert tasked with defending against a variety of cyber threats, including hackers, malware, and ransomware. The core gameplay loop revolves around setting up and upgrading a diverse array of "crypto towers" to fend off waves of incoming enemies.
One of the strengths of the gameplay is the depth of the tower customization and the ability to create synergistic combinations. Players can unlock and upgrade different crypto towers, each with their own special abilities and strengths against certain enemy types. Finding the right mix of towers to counter the specific threats faced in each level is a crucial part of the strategy. Reviewers praise the variety of tower options and the satisfying process of experimenting with different synergies, such as using a plasma beam tower to slow down enemies and a teleportation tower to reposition crypto units.
While the game may initially feel relatively easy, reviewers note that the difficulty ramps up significantly as players progress. The fast-paced nature of the gameplay, with multiple lanes of enemies to manage simultaneously, keeps players constantly engaged and adaptable. Reviewers appreciate that the game does not allow players to simply set up an overpowered defense and coast to victory, but rather requires continuous active engagement and strategic adjustments.
Beyond the core tower defense mechanics, the game also incorporates interactive and simulation elements that players enjoy. These include features like an in-game forum where players can read messages and make choices that impact the narrative, mini-games related to cryptocurrency trading and email security, and a customizable home base that evolves based on the player's progress. These elements help to immerse players in the game's cyberpunk world and provide a sense of progression beyond just the tower defense challenges.
