There is no documentation to speak of, but the tutorials are up to the task, and the game doesn’t present a steep learning curve. I haven’t played the entire game to know if this works its way into the plot or if it’s just a curious quirk of the developers. The game is set during the 1950s, but oddly the copyright for the videos is set in Roman numerals for the year 1914. The story delivers on a progressive plot. There are three different modes of play: Story, Challenge and Arcade.
THE UNSTOPPABLE GORG PATCH
There are several levels of difficulty and a recent patch has been added to ensure players who want higher levels of difficulty receive correspondingly more points for success. Win or lose, a level lasts about five minutes, but can take numerous attempts to figure out the optimal mix of unit selection and placement for success. Playing the game can be very challenging even on the medium settings. Enemy units follow a meandering path from mothership to target and it is the player’s job to place the proper units in the correct orbital slots in order to destroy the incoming assault. It will not react to any adjustments the player makes. Proper unit selection is paramount to success and the failure to select the proper mix of units will result in getting clobbered.
THE UNSTOPPABLE GORG UPGRADE
Deploying a research lab allows the player to accumulate points which can be used to upgrade units. Units range from power generators, to repair satellites to missiles, lasers, and cannons. Players face the classic challenge of having more choices of units than they are allowed to deploy. The location on the orbital ring is fixed, but the ring itself can be turned. Units are placed in orbital slots around whatever it is that needs to be defended. Battles take place around various planets, moons, and space stations and it’s here that the map sets the game apart from other tower defense games. The story isn’t complex: aliens are attacking Earth and the player needs to defend it. The graphics and sound are highly polished and satisfactory. The music could have been written for the original Lost in Space series, andthe writing has a perfect balance of cynical humor that will appeal to modern gamers. Unstoppable Gorg is no exception, but what sets it apart are the map and the atmosphere.įrom soundtrack to graphics, Unstoppable Gorg has a wonderful 1950s style to it. They generally have some kind of puzzle solving component – the winning solution needs to have a mix of different units. I really enjoy tower defense games where my job is to weave a complex layer of defenses and watch mindless enemies walk into my trap.
