These five slots are for your lines of defense, and as you can see, there is only enough room for five, rather than just spamming them everywhere on the map like other tower defenses. You are in charge of defending the city of Ventivia with the help of five slots right outside the gate and tower. However, I can only imagine that survival mode has you seeing how long you can survive against an endless hoard of incoming enemy ships.Įven though Ventivian Defense is quite challenging, the controls are quite effortless. I haven’t acquired this mode myself yet, because as I mentioned, the game is very challenging. If you are good enough to beat all levels (or just buy access for them), then you will unlock Survival Mode. The levels will be locked until you clear the previous one, or you can unlock them all through in-app purchase. While the game may not look like it has a lot of levels, the current stages are actually pretty difficult, and it will take some time to complete them all and earn the maximum of three stars on each one (unless you’re some kind of gaming prodigy). The developer has put a “Coming Soon” text on the third screen, though, so it seems that you can count on seeing more levels in the future. The game also features a morale-boosting soundtrack along with chiptune noises as you attack, so it the game really is a nice homage to classic games.Ĭurrently, Ventivian Defender has two zones, each with 10 levels. While the game may be pixelated, you will still see a great amount of detail with Ventivia, from the tower itself to your defensive turrets, and even the enemies that are swarming in.

If you’re a fan of 16-bit graphics from the good old days, then you will appreciate that Ventivian Defender is rocking the pixels, which looks especially well when paired with the steampunk theme.
