Compared to the first one, there are some cool new features and improvements to things like the upgrade system, as well as more enemy diversity and new towers. However, even when I select easy some of the levels are so hard to three star without power ups, abd the coins to gather power ups are a bit tedious to collect if you’re stuck at a level due to difficulty. Some levels feel like there’s only one solution, which feels like it limits a bit of the fun. Also, it can lock you into a thing where you’re just barely scraping by on power ups, having to grind for coins, which is what lesser games use to push microtransactions. The previous game did t feel that way. All in all, though, a fun, well made tower defense game.

Everything in the game is well thought out. Towers and enemies each have a clear purpose, everything is balanced and the timing is perfect. The only thing that I am not sure about so far is that some of the towers, like the laser, are ‘hard’ counters - so if you don’t know that shielded enemies are coming and spent money on another tower before, you’re gonna take hits or lose. … I’m not sure if that’s even a complaint, as saving and anticipating are part of the game. Anyway, this game is very satisfying to navigate strategically. The original game was also perfect - only wish there were more levels.

Loved the first game but chapter 2 lacks the abilities of the sniper tower to punch through landscape as it shoots enemies. Also, the inability to purchase upgrades to turrets from completing the level is super grindy now. I loved the first Tactical War because it wasn’t a money grab. I purchased to remove the adds and open to the idea of supporting the development of the game. Just hope to see some of what made the OG so great weave its way into the sequel.

I got so excited when I saw that they made a second tactical war game. I instantly payed to remove the ads. While it looks similar in a lot of ways, it lacks the simplicity of the first one. The new vehicles make the game too restrictive. It becomes a guessing game for where to put the right towers. There were endless possibilities for winning in the first one, but this one requires the right purchases and placement, so you end up playing each level a dozen times just to learn the right combination. Then they introduce a new vehicle and you repeat the process. The whole cycle is just tedious.
