If you are at all interested in a more serious and complex (albeit classic art styled) tower defense games, Gem Craft has been my favorite of all time. Gemcraft 2 and Frostborn Wrath are both on steam, have well over a hundred levels, challenge variations, difficulty modifiers, exp, skill, equipment, active abilities, and so on. Good for at least a hundred hours each in my experience.

@efesell: Yea I don't know what people expect of a game that brought japan to the united states.

And for those who don't remember how "anime" the original was you can read it here

@efesell: Its especially aggravating because they are fully capable of doing so. Any time you stagger an enemy all your teammates actually start to attack for real instead of pacing around and blocking. Maybe they thought it would be too easy if the unused party members were that active all the time? I suppose you would be firing off abilities and spells way more often in that case.

My problem with any rogue like attempt is the valley that it generates between skill and understanding.

Take dark souls for instance, many enemies are only difficult because you don't understand what they can do, while others require skill or investment in stats to overcome. In either case you need to invest time to develop both.

This divide can be applied to many roguelike games but unlike FROMSOFT many developers don't have the time or budget to strike that balance

I got a video played to the end, now when I try to watch it again, the video resumes from its saved position (which is the last second of the video). Since another video appears when the video ends I cannot scroll back to the beginning of the video I want to watch because another has already replaced it.

This game seems to focus on blood a lot so

-The Thing (John Carpenter) - Could be interesting move sets and transformations

The real problem is that with 25 characters, 30 items per slot, 3 slots, 30-45 skins, various taunts, 6 unlockable entrance/exits per character, on top of innumerable concept art for all things and music means there is effectively no way to actually get something for a character you like without just doing towers which reward it. Unlike classic towers there is no adjusting for difficulty in time towers. You can use AI mode for them but they rarely react to stage hazards an other weird things so it can be a tossup even then.

I need the transformer

I think the game wants you to feel uncomfortable about it so that you have an incentive to recruit not endlessly kill, In fact most of the bad stuff that can happen to you only really does when you do kill them. The orcs are weird as a people though, I don't remember but I think they are grown in Vats or something? Some are like two-three years old and others are way older but they all come out fully developed and ready to fight (sounds like a machine right). In-game you can't help but get mad at bruz since immediately after he back-stabs you three to six of your recruited captains turn on you and gain iron will (which prevents you from just recruiting them again). His betrayal being absurd to begin with since every orc in mordor knows full well that killing Talion does absolutely nothing, its just badge of honor to best him but accomplishes nothing.

Ive been having a weird problem with 15, not with the game but how it actually displays on my monitor. Ive noticed that I get some very strange burn-in effects from the HUD when playing for more than two hours at a time. For comparison, I use my PC on the same monitor for even longer periods of time than this, and even with static images shown the effect is no where near as bad. Has anyone else who plays FFXV with a regular PS4 been seeing some strange effects when played on plasma screen monitors/televisions?
