Element TD 2 has left early access and, quite frankly, I think it needs a few more months of baking.

It’s lacking a host of options that I think would make the game far more enjoyable. It’s not nearly as polished as I was expecting it to be. dollars to play something I can play in a free-to-play title?Īfter playing Element TD 2 for a while, I can say I’m glad I have the option to play it on my own but there are some really tough speed bumps along the way that make it a less enjoyable experience. I can load up Element TD 2 and have the same experience I had when I was playing Element TD through DOTA 2. Though they’ve done quite a bit with said arcade game, you can clearly see the roots. I kept DOTA 2 installed for months after I had quit playing solely so I could get some Element TD in once in a while. I specifically cite Element TD from DOTA 2 because that’s what it is. I assume that’s what Element Studios was thinking when they took the Element TD custom game from DOTA 2 and released it on Steam. Especially considering how popular games like DOTA 2 and League of Legends have become, it seems like leaving money on the table. These games that are able to be built within the confines of another game’s map editor have so much creativity and draw in such large crowds it seems like gold for the taking.


I’m a little surprised that we haven’t seen more people take Use-Map-Settings games from Starcraft and beyond and making them standalone titles to sell on Steam.
