Instead of trying to find a rough combination of towers which works, you’re trying to find the single tower which will crack a mission wide open as well as figuring out when exactly to build it. This robs Gorg of what little free-form nature it might have carried over from its tower defence heritage. Consequently, missions where you’re able to build more than five or six offensive towers are incredibly rare. All the game gives you are a few hotspots on a series of orbital rings surrounding whatever you’re trying to keep the aliens away from. Other tower defence games give you vast swathes of land upon which you can plan and build your defences. How did this happen? It’s down to Unstoppable Gorg’s main gameplay conceit, which is that it is set in space. All tower defence games have some sort of puzzle element to them, but they’re distinguished from true puzzlers in that they usually give you the freedom to work towards your own solution, Gorg on the other hand can best be described as a puzzle game with some light tower defence elements. I put the puzzler part of the descriptor first because that’s what Unstoppable Gorg is, primarily. Unstoppable Gorg is a puzzler-cum-tower defence game with an awesomely cheesy retro 1950s sci-fi flavour. Unstoppable Gorg received mostly positive reviews, earning a Metacritic average of 85% for the iOS version and 73% for the Windows version.Right, now that’s out of my system we can get on with the review. As the game progresses, other alien species join the attack on humanity, each bringing their own ships that require different strategies to defeat. The player takes on the role of Captain Adam as he organizes the defense of various space stations, moons and planets against the Gorg. War hero Captain Adam and his fiancée Arielle travel to Planet X to greet the Gorg, only to discover that the aliens have launched an armada of flying saucers to attack the scientists. The game begins when scientists aboard a space station beyond the orbit of Neptune discover Planet X, inhabited by a species known as Gorg. The plot of the game is inspired by vintage science fiction movies from the 1950s and is presented in the form of short black-and-white movie clips (shot using miniatures and live action actors), which play at the beginning and the end of each level. In addition to armed satellites, the player can also deploy unarmed satellites, which can, among other things, generate money for buying more satellites, repair other satellites or slow down nearby enemies. Destroying all enemies efficiently usually requires the player to reposition their existing satellites so that they can reach new waves of enemies, which can take different paths to the base. The player can also rotate an orbit to move all satellites in it to a new position. To accomplish this, the player must deploy various types of armed satellites, which can be placed in predefined slots on different orbits around the base. In each level of the game, the player must prevent waves of enemy space ships, launched from motherships on the edges of the screen, from reaching the player's base in the middle of the screen. In the game, visually inspired by vintage science fiction movies from the 1950s, the player must protect human settlements against armies of alien invaders. Unstoppable Gorg is a tower defense game developed by Futuremark and released on Windows, OS X and iPad on January 19, 2012.
