positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A review copy was provided by the developer. Follow my Curator page, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41363546-Fruit-N-Doggie-Reviews/]Fruit N Doggie Reviews, so you can be updated whenever I post a new review. Overall Rating - Seriously Flawed ★★☆☆☆ First Impressions What drew my attention to Cluckmech Oasis (CO) was watching some game footage on YouTube. The person playing seemed to be having fun, and the idea of a tower defense title giving me something more to do than merely…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is fun for a couple runs but gets very repetitive very quickly. The strategy never changes in any of the maps, and the best way to build turrets is always to just build them randomly around your truck as soon as cooldown is up. There needs to be another layer of upgrades that helps strategies change more between runs. When you go to the shop and it's nothing but turrets it is always very disappointing. Overall, the game is too easy and does not offer enough variety in builds.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know how you look for games for a while and if you see 'Very Positive' -- you go into its Store Page and browse through the comment section -- in hopes to find confirmation that this is indeed a very good game? Well this is the comment you are looking for. If you like Roguelites and live tower defense (where you are active during enemy spawn)... Buy it. Incredible game that my only issue is lack of maps at the moment. But when I checked the roadmap... every single update to the game will…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cluckmech Oasis is pretty fun for the price. The localization is absolute trash, some stuff is not translated at all and will occasionally show as Japanese (Does not impact gameplay) What is game play impacting is how almost no mechanics are explained and how poorly written the abilities are. You basically have to find everything out through trial and error. especially how things interact. The boss enrage mechanic is a little overtuned, there are bosses that will enrage before they can even…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great roguelike tower defense + top down shooter hybrid. Due to the destructible environment giving gold (used for tower upgrades for the whole run) or power (used for putting down towers in the current stage), it creates another layer of decisions on where to place towers and what upgrades to choose. There seems to be a lot of variety and each tower can have 20 different stat ugprades. There are no meta upgrades, only unlocks so the difficulty remains constant. The translation is good and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cannot get enough of this game! Different characters, different playing style, each character has multiple perks, and hell lots of turrets and builds. What makes it addictive is, literally every turret/trap is unique, along with the weekly challenges that brings a refreshing taste. Would recommend 100%.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very unique take on roguelike TD. Lots of variety in heroes and towers with their unique upgrades. Looking forward to coop and DLC.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too repetitive and also there is only one way to clear every map, you need a killzone. Any other towerdefense strategy is innefficient and risk you dying. The reason is the boss rage timer, you have a certain time on you to kill the boss. Meaning even if you built towers all over the map, add some tanky/healing strat so they don't die too fast. Then the boss will get shot at by too few towers at a time. You wont kill it in time for ragemode and then it will just walk to your base and you die,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Technically kind of sloppy, with not a lot of care put into the small things. It doesn't actually stop running ever when closed and needs a full restart to end. The meta progression is really weak too, you unlock some more stuff by completing some very generic objectives, but there's no real sense of powering up between runs or working to unlock specific things. Doesn't stand out in any way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is probably the closest thing to sex I'm ever going to get. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I rarely write reviews for games, but this game is amazing. Really could not ask for a better tower defense roguelike. People will complain about the localization and blah blah blah who cares!!! the game is awesome!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is excellent and well worth your time! There's plenty of content for not a big price, and is the merging of rouge-like action shooter with tower defence. There are so many possibilities and combinations you can choose from, and even with 45 hours gametime, I've still yet to unlock a few of the towers! The art style is charming and even though the English translations are imperfect, they only add to the randomness and the humour of it all. The 15 difficulties you can play with really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Written By Hidden Gems Review : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38624426/, Follow me! Cluckmech Oasis is a Tower Defense Roguelite game. Great tower defense build with unlimited options and design, there are many type of towers but as for the roguelite part feels unfinished
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly it's a cute little game, it's more of a topdown shooter with towers/summons/barracks than a tower defense first, but I enjoy the roguelike elements a lot and it's surprisingly fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to be brief in the review, because a demo is available and you can try that to see whether you like the game before buying. This game gains novelty by combining elements from several genres and creating a good TD game. You control a "hero" to protect a base that can be placed at some locations on the board. There are no paths, but the board allows you to place the base in areas that are more protected than others. After that, you have some "friend turrets" that can be placed anywhere…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute little game to play during your spare time. Being compatible with Mac makes it a great option to play during them useless uni lectures. But I want to emphasize my review on how great the music is, I can tell the publishers really put a lot of effort into creating a dope soundtrack. A sick bassline in an indie game??? Sign me up!

unlabelledView post →This game has so so so much potential but the localization is just horrible. It's a genuine issue that makes the game difficult to play and it totally ruins the upgrading system, a lot of the text is understandable if you really try but not 100%.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun but need some balancing. Suggestions: 1. Some enemy mod is too strong, like explosion on death is very deadly and can wipe your entire grid. 2. Also need some kinda meta-progression, Like increase our attack speed or base dmg. Would make doing reruns of this game feel more purposeful. 3. Bosses can get "distracted" by our runaway summons/spawns, so instead of engaging our main forces, they waste precious time fighting a small portion of our total force, meaning we are missing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun game enjoying it so far. Most gametime has been multiplayer co-op, and as of this writing, we've finished (or lost) 50% of our games and had a desync end the run the other 50% of the time. Symptom is the second players game begins to lagg, then stops getting new updates, mechanically frozen, though animations and UI continue to function. The only option is to end the run, but neither party is presented with the problem (game doesn't seem to know its borked). Once you re-host, you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun time waster, simple enough to figure the rules, even if the english translation is lacking at times. The heroes are distinct, even if some seem fairly harder than the other, and it is fun to play. Not groundbreaking things but solid gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, highly recommend if you enjoy tower defense, co-op and cute pixel art!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great coop game that doesn't feel like a Tower Defense, it's more of a Vampire Survivor

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games extremely fun, but since it allows you to make insane builds eventually you run into 3 fps. Give us the ability to turn off projectile graphics, minion models etc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good for a lark or on sale, but wouldn't pay full price for it. The boss rage timer really does incentivize making 1 chokepoint with max DPS. There's no map diversity and wonky tower balance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cant believe I forgot to leave a review on this one Game is GREAT. It's a fun tower defense with a lot of customization in your towers and playstyle, i had so much fun with this AND IT HAS COOP. Absolutely a banger. If you like tower defense and nuclear throne style shooters, its sort of a mix of the two. Buy it at full price, support these devs!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game does seem unfinished with some untranslated text sometimes, and it lacks clarity at moments of choices
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is pretty nice and coop is fun, the mutators also make the towers quite different and add a nice amount of replayability The translations are not amazing, but you can get the gist of it most of the time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very very fun. very varied, too, as the playstyle quickly has to change especially at higher levels when using different characters do not buy this if you do not want something sucking up all of your free time. no such thing as 'just a quick game or two' here
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not for me, I guess.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My gambling addict friend said if I post a review on Cluckmech Oasis - The Idle RPG and it gets 350 likes and 150 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer, some vodka, and bottle of wine.. So I'm just gonna leave this here
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun tower defence-esque game. Has some cool idea, and its enjoyable to play. Got it on this summer sale and have enjoyed the little time ive put in.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun game for killing time
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not for me, little progression, the Cooldown and luck of the draw feels weird.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cluckmech Oasis is a delightful journey though the Tower Defense genre that is neatly expanded. There is a fair amount of customization, starting perks and other ways to play that keep the game fresh. At the time of this review, it's still being actively worked upon and I recommend it. :D

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly fun and content filled twin stick shooter tower defense. I don't know what it is, but this is now the fourth or fifth Chinese game I've played where the devs just said "F*** It" and balanced the game by adding HUNDREDS of options to combat everything rather than focusing on any one idea or challenge. Tackling on that it's a co-op game, I think there is a lot of positive here even if it inevitably replays itself in some rather shallow ways mechanically. To this point, I do wish…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Genuine Review Overall A tower defence rouge like game with a cutsie animals all around. It's rough around the edges but it is pretty fun once you get into it. Having many unlocks, classes, towers, and upgrades; you will have lots of stuff to play around with. Each character plays differently, alternatively to other games where its mainly a stat difference. Each character has a starting tower, and an ability that differentiates what they'll do compared to others. An example being a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game i like that you can place tower to help you when your protecting your truck its very nice
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely love the premise. It's not hard on it's own. It does have the classic roguelike RNG feeling. But after failing a run that ran for an hour and getting demolished by AoE's that I can't even see or understand where they are coming from, it became really unenjoyable. For example bosses doing AoE damage, there are explosives enemies that you can barely see or get ready for if they overlap.
