41 of 41 · most liked firstFirst impression: nice-looking short and difficult casual strategy game. It doesn't play as nice as it looks. The basic strategy type is not new -- I've played flash games where you had to balance mining asteroids for resources with building defense installations while keeping them connected. But NANULEU only has 7 levels total (each level only has 1 difficulty) and a frustrating difficulty curve. Creeper World is much more fun to play, or even BattleTime; these games have more levels and will…

This did not influence my review in any way. ========================================================== ---------------------------------------OVERVIEW------------------------------------- ========================================================== Nanuleu is a casual strategy / tower defense game of trees and warriors that has been out for some time on mobile devices, but is now available on PC. In Nanuleu, you fight for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally a game with an army of trees! The game is relaxing, simple, and have a tough difficulty level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF41i0nDF20
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The consensus of both positive and negative reviews is that the game is simple. Whether that's a positive or negative for you depends on whether you're looking for a challenging grand strategy or just something mildly challenging to unwind after a long day. I certainly enjoyed my time with it. There is something to the core mechanics that is incredibly compelling and you'll find an hour flew by just like that. Regardless, I still feel there's a little bit of missed opportunity here. A Nanuleu…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Puzzle game, tower defense, minimalistic, short, resource management like in an RTS game (the resource management from M.A.X. is the most similar I've seen), some army management. Nanuleu focuses on the formula at the core of some tower defense and most realtime strategy games: Balance economy with warfare. Invest too much in your economy and you'll get overrun, invest too much in warfare and the opponent will eventually out-produce and overrun you. Everything is reduced to almost the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this game when it came out on Steam. I have to say I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It is a very relaxed game but it still has a bit of difficulty to it. If you like tower defense games but you want something that is relaxed and fun, then this is the game for you. Plus, it is only $3 and you can't beat that price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →还记得16年初中的时候玩过这个的手机版，挺不错的小游戏，画风清新，内容很精致。就是内容单一，关卡有些少。建议打折入手。 I still remember that I played this game on 2016 with my Android Phone when I am just a high school Student. This game is really a nice small game. It looks pretty and has exquisite content though with simple level. I recommend you to buy it when discard.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worth the Price of Admission at $3.00 but it IS very short. (3 levels of 3 stages each) While concpets might get old if it dragged on, and there isnt enough variety in the types of trees you can build for it not to get stale if there were say 20+ levels, Everything here is so polished that you cant help but wonder why they didnt include 3-4 more trees to prolong it 3-4 more levels (of 3 stages each) because it IS worth your time. Just it wont consume much of it :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very elegant and lovely.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's short, simple, and not difficult, good for a few hours of entertainment. Given the price, I can recommend this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple, relaxing Tower Defense game. Adorably cute enemies, TREES. I really like this game. https://youtu.be/MVIR8uMH2L4
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nanuleu, developed and published by Selva Interactive, is a meditative yet surprisingly intense fusion of real-time strategy and tower defense that invites players into a world where nature itself becomes both weapon and shield. The game presents an abstract but meaningful struggle between growth and decay, expansion and defense. It places you in control of a network of magical trees that must flourish across a hexagonal map while fending off waves of dark corruption spreading from the edges.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun little time killer. The levels aren't too hard but neither are they too easy. Played 6.5 hours to complete. Would recommend, especially for just a couple of £.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is cheap but it is so simple. Even more simple than many free games. I liked the concept, liked the music. Game really has a potential. I look forward for more improvements. Until it gets some variety on buildings(trees), units, and some more maps and some strategy to play with, I m not recommending this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great for scratching a tactical fast pace itch.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So disappointing. Explains almost none of the rules and becomes impossibly difficult on the 2nd level. Was excited for a minimalist tower defense game to while away my time on but this is unplayable. Got a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is nice. But short. But nice. But short. I spend 2 hours to go through. Including an hour of replays, while i tried to understand the structure of campaign. The thing is when you press New Game, it does not mean you loose a progress. You never do. To Continue the Game is possible if you left it on a half of the battle and turned it off. Next, you don't have an easy, medium and hard campaigns. You have one level with three difficulties and two levels with medium and hard only. So,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun little tower defense game with minimalist graphics and relaxing visuals and sound. Very easy to pick up and play, though the music gets repetitive since it only seems to have one track, at least from what I noticed. It's not a long game, but for 3 bucks it doesn't have to be.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice, littel game. Not difficult, not challenging, but nice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty much fun for a little game. Does it worth its price? Maybe. Cool game tho
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nanuleu is a good little game. The simple gameplay and graphics are attractive, and it's well worth the 1.99 I paid for it. On the minus side, there aren't enough maps or levels - three maps each with three difficulty levels. It would be so much better with more maps.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It looks nice, sounds nice and plays nice till... Difficulty: Well, basically it is a hit-or-miss difficulty game. Guess wrong and use the wrong strategy and you won't get past the second level (and the rest is locked till you pass it. Atmosphere: Sound and colours are relaxing, the gameplay is plain annoying with the same pop-ups to click away each time you start a level, difficulty ramping up massively and very little options available to truly variate your strategy. Especially because…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →is really difficult the last stage. anyway is archivable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Charming little time killer. Beautiful music accompaniment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like tower defense? well, I didn't, but Nanuleu might have changed this... Minimalistic, well-crafted and beautiful tower defense game. It is perfect when you just want to have a 20min gaming session in between your tasks, since a session in Nanuleu takes around 15-25min in my experience. It has great music, great graphics and great game mechanincs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun strategy, with a nice minimalist style
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just Finished Playing: Nanuleu A light tower-defence puzzler game. Really gave me vibes of the chill Euflorea, despite the different mechanics. You are a tree, and branch out with your roots to form defensive or warrior-production towers to clear maps. Simple* fun. Mostly.
unlabelledView post →Yeah this game is worth a try, but it is a rather still routine for every level, however I like the design and tree concept, could be better but for me it works as it is cheap, the Bio Defense : Zombie Outbreak is same and 15 years ago is better than this, could use some more like, a rare resources for a rare tree to boost other tree production and defense, more invaders type that can corrupt into bosses, more interaction with the environment, overall a cute game that is worth a try. I would…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →too short, but it was fun anyways
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short but fun pass-the-time game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little strategy game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't hate this. It ends up being a little bit more puzzle than strategy when it comes to getting the bonus objectives, but that's OK. For the essentially nothing I paid for it, I got a nice few hours out of it. At its normal price of 3.29, I wouldn't mind owning this on mobile instead.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very charming! Pleasant for experienced players, but eminently approachable for casual ones too. I only got tired of it long after getting my money's worth, it's more than worth the price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a short game, but fun and definitely worth the price of $3. I beat it in about 3-4 hours, just wish they had more levels or came out with a second one
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great zen tower defense game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's basically if Creeper World was designed by people who were incompetent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple but so good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice but too short. Only three levels with three difficulties on each - you play it 5-6 times and it's not interesting anymore. It would be cool if devs would add more maps, levels, types of trees etc. The beginning is very good though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lovely light weight strategy game. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the main campaign, and am so happy I finally found a solid tower defense game that isn't visually overwhelming (I love the strategy of tower defense, but most major tower defense games make my eyes feel like hopping right out of my skull.) I feel like it's a solid balance of challenging but complete-able. Two thumbs up!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not buggy or bad, but too few options. Not better than a lot of free games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Meh- Its ok, and I'm not really sure what I was epxecting for $3 or on sale for $2, but its just not really there as a game with enduring playing or enjoyment. On one hand, it does elegantly strip down the RTS / Tower Defense game to their core principles. Collect resources A and B so you can build a collector for resource C. Use resources A, B, and C to build offense and defense. To that end, its elegant. The problem is, thats all it is. There is no reallocation of resources (I need…
