Chances are that you already know how tower defense games work you will be charged with protecting a stationary based from waves of oncoming enemies. When it comes to the core elements of the genre, Futuremark hasn’t tried to fix what wasn’t broken. Unstoppable Gorg may be the most polished and refined tower defense game that I have ever played. The story is presented to you with horribly acted, black and white cut scenes which look even worse than the classic sci-fi movies that they are modeled off of the funny thing is, that is a compliment as the entire experience is supposed to feel like that.Īlthough the game looks antiquated and low-budget, the actual gameplay is anything but. As Captain Adam, Arielle’s sweetheart, famous war hero and humanity’s best chance of stopping the impending Gorg invasion, you will lead a variety of satellites and ships into battle against the invading forces. The planet’s leader, King Gorg, has launched a full-scale attack to take over planet Earth. The Earth’s Goodwill Ambassador, and reigning Miss Universe Arielle, has been taken hostage during a diplomatic trip to the mysterious Planet X. It all goes hand in hand with the laughable story as well. All of it is laughable and entertaining, mainly because that is what it is supposed to be. The videos, in particular, are especially entertaining with their visible wires and “flying models" meant to represent epic space battles. The technology appears dated and consists of black and white screens and vintage toggle switches and the dialog is as cheesy as it comes. Right from the start, Unstoppable Gorg looks like a horribly produced, 1950‘s sci-fi movie every aspect from the music to the menus to the various full-motion-video scenes is modeled in the same vane as those classic films. Simple, stylish, and polished from edge to edge, Unstoppable Gorg is an enjoyable adventure that alters the basic formula just enough to differentiate itself from the pack, and can keep you laughing along the way. That is exactly the approach that Futuremark has taken with their latest release, Unstoppable Gorg. The basic formula for the genre is extremely simple, and messing with it too much serves as more of a detriment than a benefit. It isn’t very often that someone brings something new to the tower defense genre.
