Ratropolis Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Pity the poor rat. Historically much maligned as a species, all the cute little Redwall-esqe critters want to do in Ratropolis is build beautiful cathedrals and a functioning society. Sadly, they are attacked every few minutes by waves of deadly and annoyingly punctual mutants. If they trash your central base building, it’s all over. It’s all about time. As you’re building defensive walls and placing troops, the clock never stops. Want to visit the market? An icon will sometimes appear in your base and linger for 30 seconds or so; if you miss it you just have to wait for it to come around again. At its most frenetic moments, Ratropolis becomes closer to a clicker game. You’re clicking on to order guard rats around, you’re clicking on chests enemies have dropped, and you’re also clicking on cards, because Ratropolis is a deckbuilder too. Oh, and it’s a base-builder, and a tactical attritional survival game like Plants Vs. Zombies. Is there anything these rats can’t do? When the game starts you draw a hand from a deck of cards, and can draw more on a cooldown timer. Efficient, quick use of these cards is essential, because they let you deploy forces to your left and right fronts, unleash special attacks, construct new buildings, upgrade your settlement – which is spread across a 2D plane – and build new defensive walls farther from your town. Your cards are also the basis of your economy at the start of a run.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

You quickly learn that playing efficiently means playing the right cards in the right order, and sometimes not playing certain cards at all. Cheese cards give you 30 gold for every one in your hand, and you always draw a few – but the developers Cassel Games have also set a mousetrap, because if you’re too hasty when you’re clicking around you might accidentally play the final Cheese card for a gold loss. But before any of that you want to play the Pottery card you drew, because that gives you 10 gold for any card of any sort in your hand. It all takes place under that constant, mutant-driven time pressure, and for me the game is just stressful enough to be fun. I feel busy, but have enough time to start building my deck towards a particular style of play. Ratizen colonists are needed to support any plans, though, and they need houses. These are the simplest buildings you can buy, and essentially convert gold into Ratizen resource at the expense of space in your base. Some buildings take up more space but come with powerful abilities – I like the Scrapyard, which you can use to ditch unplayable Scrap cards from your hand – and naturally the confined space in your territory forces you to pick buildings with the functionality to support your deck. Ideally, you want your best buildings close to your hub, because that puts them behind more defensive walls. This raises dilemmas a dozen or so waves in, though, when space there is low or non-existant.

Replayability Easy to play but difficult to master.

You can knock down buildings and replay them using certain building cards, but it’s time consuming, expensive, and takes those buildings offline – rarely a worthwhile sacrifice. I tend to make it to about wave 20-ish, which is around when the waves suddenly become brutal. In the beginning you’re charged by tiny diseased enemies, easily picked off by your mighty rat archers. There are attack cards that you can play directly on enemies, and one of the most satisfying and yet unnecessary moves you can make is to play a chain lightning card on these poor muckers. Then, as you pass wave 20, you start seeing clusters of huge ogre mutants. Soon after that the huge ogre mutants bring battering rams. And then you die. In my experience, anyway. I have tried to get around this monstrous onslaught of fatal rammening many times, and thankfully there are a lot of ways to experiment. Before any run you appoint a leader to your clan, who comes with a passive bonus and an ability you can activate on a cooldown. There are six to choose from (the first couple are sort of tutorial rats that make it easy to make money, and easy to fight respectively) but I like the Builder Leader, who can play a house on a house to make it a bigger house, without requiring any specialist building upgrade cards. More advanced rats let you build robots and buff them during a session.Sail Forth

Add to that three different environments – forest, coast, and desert – and there’s plenty to gnaw on here at a budget price. Each environment has its own ruleset, enemies and a modifier. Enemies are plentiful in the forest but they frequently drop building upgrades in chests, while desert enemies are slow, mighty, and few. This might tilt your card pick choices in different ways. Big single-shot ballista units should suit the towering giants of the desert, and you can compensate for the lack of building upgrades by taking the Builder Leader, who can draw two ephemeral (use ‘em or lose ‘em) building cards every 90 seconds. It’s telling that whenever I’ve hopped back into the game while writing this, I’ve ended up being sucked into an entire run. But past the euphoria of the first few hours, the difficulty curve feels uneven. When the waves escalate and I crash out, I find it hard to identify where I went wrong, in part because you receive new cards in a haphazard and unpredictable manner. Enemy chest drops, events, and some leader abilities let you pick or delete cards – always a necessary option when you’re trying to build an elegant deck. Events seem to occur quite randomly, offering some flavour text and a resource choice. I enjoy these choices, but I they don’t offer cards reliably, and in a game all about time I’d prefer a more predictable cadence of deck choices so it feels like I’m building into a strategy. One of the most striking aspects of Ratropolis is the sheer variety of cards and leaders. While there are some basic cards that cross over, each leader has unique pools of cards, and advisors to pull from.

Advisors function as relics in other deckbuilding games, providing game wide bonuses. I didn’t expect that kind of staggering variety given that the game is real-time, and features a significantly higher amount of animations than your average deck builder. The visual style and art hold up too. It’s equal parts adorable and visually attractive with nice effects and colors that pop. Each leader plays entirely different, and each one has several viable strategies. Though you will need to unlock additional cards and advisors for each leader to see their true potential. Unlocking cards is nothing new to the genre, but it can be a tad bit grindy in Ratropolis. An average winning run takes around 40 minutes, and that’s not always enough XP to unlock the next batch of goods. Regardless, each leader is varied. The Merchant has an extremely powerful economy but relies on mercenary cards that will leave after their contract is up. The Builder is an expert at the city building aspect, but must also rely on defensive buildings more than other leaders. The Shaman can use the souls of discarded cards, while the General has a potent military presence. Each one is viable, and the game feels shockingly balanced when you factor in all the moving parts. You can purchase new cards from a wandering merchant, and you can potentially select some between enemy waves. You do, have to play your cards intelligently and build your deck wisely.Space Haven

While cutting out the dead weight that doesn’t add to your strategy. However, you must do so quickly. The game’s real-time nature gives the game a very different feel from other deck builders. You have a limited time to deliberate as the enemies come in waves and wait for no one. You aren’t just managing cards either, you must also manage your gold income, and your Ratizens. It may be tempting to simply play every unit that enters your hand, but it’s better to do so carefully. Units and labor cards take up limited space in your Ratizen pool. You can increase it by expanding with housing and apartments, but it’s always finite. Additionally, many buildings have active abilities with a cool down. You will need to learn how to dart between them while keeping an eye on both sides of your settlement where the attacks come from. Once placed, units can be moved between walls, but it’s a slow process. An enemy breaking through at a bad moment can easily end your run. All these components lead to a gameplay mix of fast tactical thinking, strategical deck building, and pulse-pounding action. It’s a fusion that sounds like it should fall apart on paper, but in practice, it works incredibly well. Playing Ratropolis opens up your mind to a different way of thinking about the genre. It can be frustrating at first, but once you get in the rhythm it flows nicely. That said a few hiccups can break the fluidity. Ratropolis was once a prosperous and bustling city and home to many rats. As time went on, they became greedy and started conducting genetic experiments. Things went horribly wrong and it caused the rat apocalypse.

6 Leaders! Each with their own play style and traits.

The surviving rats had to escape their homes and flee to the surrounding forest, desert and coast. So it is up to you, the leader of the rat-pack, to start a settlement and protect the remaining rats from the waves of enemies trying to eradicate them. Ratropolis is a beautiful real-time tower defense, city builder, with deck building mechanics developed by Cassel Games. In the past, I have only played a few tower defense games like Battle Cats and Ninja Town; they definitely weren’t like this one. At the beginning, you choose your difficulty and which area you want to build your settlement in; the forest, coast or desert and choose your rat leader type. You can choose if you want the tutorial mode on or not, since it’s not really needed after you have played multiple times. There is even a nightmare mode available if you need more of a challenge. According to the game, if you survive past wave level thirty, super strong monsters and dreadful events start happening. When you begin the game, only the merchant leader class is available to start, but as you progress in the game, you can unlock the six different types; merchant, builder, general, navigator, scientist and shaman. Each of these leaders has different attributes that help you defend your settlement and it will be worth experimenting to see which of these leaders works better for your playstyle. In my play-through.

I found that I was running out of gold really fast so I like choosing the merchant, you get a 25% discount when you buy cards and you get 10% of your gold when you discard a card. The eight cards you start with in your hand will depend on your choice of leader and will be a mix of green economy cards, red military cards and brown building cards. Taxes are collected every five seconds and are added to your wallet to help pay for new cards and to use the ones you have. As you defeat the waves of enemies they will leave behind a treasure chest with your choice of three items. Most times, they will include a new card, money, the option to discard one of your cards or an upgrade to a building. There are 200 different cards you can collect so it is exciting to see which random ones you get to choose from. My personal favourite so far is the Hog Thrower, allowing you to throw hedgehogs at your enemies. This game is real-time, not turn-based, so even if it seems like the waves of enemies are coming in slow, that will not last for long. The timer does not stop when you are visiting the merchant or looking at your cards, so keep that in mind. The enemies that attack include animals like cats and weasels so you have to build walls, towers and posts to defend your base. The ratizens (the rat citizens) that live at the settlement are recruited to become soldiers and defend the city. And in order to procure more troops, you need to build more houses for rats to live in; but to get houses you have to get the cards and use money and this is where the strategy comes in.
