Defending my Sky Castle the engineering way...

In Isle Of Arrows you need to defend your sky castle, but upgrades and new towers are decided by random cards leaving for a super addictive "one more try" tower defense game!

[@dolenore]

RCE, in case you weren't aware, you were crippling yourself the entire run. Once you have 10, 20 and finally 30 gold saved up, your income per turn goes up by one as well. You spend it as it comes in, you will only ever be able to play 1.5 tiles per turn. If you let it build up, you can dump several tiles at once on the later, more difficult, turns.

[@dolenore]

You won't always want to place tiles. Let your income build up. In fact, in later maps, placing a tile is flat-out the wrong move sometimes.

[@LordDragox412]

[@green7449]

Does the game even point out that that’s a thing? Cause that’s a pretty important piece of information.

[@patrickiamonfire965]

@@green7449 it’s something you can figure out.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

@@patrickiamonfire965 Not if you play this game like most deckbuilder games and spend your gold asap to make your lane even stronger. And yes, this game is akin to a deckbuilder; just here we dont shuffle the deck ever and instd use those cards we buy to build a tower defense path.

You shouldn't spend too much on buying path. You get interest every 10 coins you have so if you feel like paths and towers are unnecessary, you should save money

[@Jooberwak]

Skipping the quarry on the statue was killing me- those were four dead tiles right between multiple paths

[@mherrmann81687]

Love watching you play tower defense games. 21:35 if you placed the garden on the edge (like at the south near your 2nd goal or the archer tower near there) you would have gotten 2 coins: 1 for the garden and 1 for a tile on the edge, since you got that booster/upgrade earlier. Just a thought.

[@12stepsbeyondtheeventhorizon]

16:15 am I crazy or was this a massive missed opportunity to bomb the flag on the right and get 4 freeze tiles next to two damage towers? Would've been OP.

[@Elmithian]

I was thinking the same. Such a waste

[@arnavpoddar3925]

Would have had to bomb the cannon or the path as well, which would decrease path length, and effectively render it useless

[@MGSLurmey]

No, because that freeze tower had a water tile attached. Where do you propose the water tile goes if it's placed surrounded on 3 sides by path and 1 side by a cannon? It would also only get 3 freeze tiles... like what??

[@oishicurrypuffus]

a typical engineer build probably

[@nacoran]

It's interesting to see how developers take the basic mechanics from various games and remix them. I think I like this one better than the other. There is still some randomness, but you have more control over how the path develops.

[@lorbdluefire9114]

Would be really interesting to know what would happen, if you connect 2 seperate paths with each other

[@commanderfoxtrot]

It was actually a Kanabo that the first large enemy was wielding. I know it looks like a baseball bat, but the Japanese melee weapon had the shape and came about long before. It’s quite the weapon, too, because it has bulbous bumps to increase lethality.

[@oopswrongplanet4964]

A nice variation of the classic tower defense.

[@parkedfiretruck6536]

*scrolls down to see final unlock* “Engineers” Thank God

[@HippieInHeart]

It actually makes sense that the first unlock is called architect. You gotta remember that the first unlock is basically the lowest tier unlock they can give you.

[@kvnmurphy]

This game is awesome - it's funny how well it blends concepts from the other games you've played

New drinking game idea! Every time RCE says shove take a drink.

This title reminds me of one my favourite books growing up, Isle of View by Piers Anthony. He writes kid/teen fantasy books and it was full of puns, with the title sounding like I Love You being part of the plot even.

[@user-vf6ge4mp9p]

To be fair, RCE, architects back then were pretty ok, especially when we talk about "Floating Islands" Lands. (I'm not architect, btw!)

i'd love a reboot of NES' original Solomon's Key; soo many great ideas could be incorporated like the building of the levels... great puzzle game!

Actually... having Architects as the first unlock is actually a Good Thing! It means that the Engineer Unlocks is probably further along, and thus more important & refined! The Architects are effectively first dungeon vendor trash. 😉👍🏼
