Dungeons4 is a fun RTS/Tower-Defense that took up a few of the last months of entertainment. Its a very “dad-joke” level of low-hanging fruit and pop-culture references, but comedy is often the right way to handle “Evil” plots.
The overall game is to build up an army, head out to the “Overworld” and collect “Evil” by killing Heroes, slaughtering villagers, destroying villages and towns. As your “Evil” gets collected, you can spend “Evil” on the Tech Tree to get more powerful units, upgrades, new buildings, new economic options and… eventually win the map’s objectives.
Typical maps take me ~1 hour, though a speedrunner probably can complete maps within 20 minutes, while slower defensive players might take longer. With ~20 maps, you should have well over 20+ hours of gameplay, and then 10 “Skirmish” maps, and multiple (paid) DLC, its a well fleshed out game.
The one downside is a weak set of tutorial levels, and poor documentation/help. There’s also very little discussion / guides. So I figure publishing this Steam guide will help any would-be players enter this game.
My guide is rather detailed strategy focused on the hardest of difficulty levels. But this advice likely will help any player on normal mode (which is plenty hard enough your first time through!).
