Sol Survivor is a classic turret defense that’s set in a completely 3D environment, and that resembles quite a little with a real-time strategy title.

We’ve seen all kinds of variations on turret defense, but some developers out there, including the ones Cadenza Interactive, want to stick the original recipe. This mean that the enemy attacks from a certain known direction and you are free to place turrets along the line. If the enemy reaches the end, you are dead. It’s a pretty simple idea.

In fact, the concept of turret defense first started with a mode for the old Warcraft 3 RTS from Blizzard. Since then, this genre took off on its own, and we’ve seen some pretty good games landing. Sol Survivor might not be the best one out there, but it’s certainly interesting enough, and it warrants a closer look.

Many games in this genre try to do all kinds of crazy stuff, like reversing the roles or transforming the gameplay entirely just to make it stand out. Sometimes the regular defense tower recipe is just what the doctor ordered, and Sol Survivor follows it to the letter.

If you have ever played a tower defense game, then you’ll know how to play Sol Survivor. If not, the game has a very complex tutorial segment that should get people up to speed.

The most interesting feature of Sol Survivor is the ability to call air support in the form of satellite strike, bombardments, and much more. This really helps in situations where just a few stragglers manage to evade the defenses, making you lose the game.

Players are limited to placing the defenses, but not as much as we’ve seen in other games, allowing to create some powerful kill corridors.

The downside of Sol Survivor is that the engine is not nearly as powerful enough as the gameplay requires it. Simply put, the game is very ambitious, and it does a lot of things right, but the is simply not able to keep up the pace. It’s the only problem in an otherwise very good game.
