To make the most of your firepower and to complete the each level’s extra challenges you can upgrade your weapons, enhance the turrets, and level up your character. You are free to invest the skill points and currency into whichever progression path you choose. Come up with your own playstyle that suits you best!
As you immerse yourself in the game, you will discover new strategies to beat the levels. Unlock and take on the harder difficulties to experiment with unusual tactics.
Action
You start off fighting for your life using the engineering tools as your basic melee weapon. As you progress through the game, you get to unlock new weapons, turrets, mines, armors and abilities. The enemies certainly keep up though – they become tougher and trickier to defeat. The stakes get higher, the harsh environment throws new challenges at you, and the game becomes a lot more complex. Set up your defenses, lay the landmines, arm yourself to teeth and prepare for combat!
Plot
The main character arrives on a distant planet with the mission to prepare it for colonization. Or so Marvin – the onboard AI – claims, despite the planet being apparently infested with local hostile fauna. What are they not telling you?
Explore the planet to find out its secrets and the truth behind your mission. Meet new characters on your way and be ready to truly rethink the events that you’ve gone through.
Setting
The game starts on a space station and subsequently takes you to the vast landscapes of the designated planet – full of life with its well-developed flora and fauna. Weather conditions change, the times of day do as well, and this causes a direct impact on the gameplay. Some of the other types of events can also be affected by the player.
There are several distinct locations each with its own climate conditions and the visual style. The levels are structured differently bringing new types of enemies into the mix and allowing you to uncover new aspects of the world as you progress.
Liberator TD offers neat surprises for the most attentive players allowing them to reveal hidden locations, engage in combat with unique enemies, and find secrets and easter eggs. Replaying the game allows you not only to pick a different progression path but also to notice things that you’ve missed on your previous runs.
