I like this gameplay review, because you can really get a feel for the game. I wish every game had this kind of review so you don't blow your money on something disappointing. Big props to you TotalHalibut!
Thank you TB for making this video! I just found it on the steams, and was about to look for some real gameplay footage. Then I thought "Oh, it's very sad that there most likely isn't a "WTF is" of it :(" THen I was happy, when I there actually WAS one ^^
@TheDesertonfire Yes, that too. TotalBiscuit mentions Iron Brigade in this video, though, and after checking that out I'm impressed. We need more tower defense games like that. Monday Night Combat and Sanctum are other examples of tower defense done RIGHT with more depth and complexity. I just can't help but feel that games like what we're seeing here are so simplistic, they could be found for free elsewhere or even recreated in 2D in Flash.
@90arni the best place to put your turrets is the corner as it can reach more of the course. even better is if the course almost doubles back on itself so you can use one turret to guard two straights
@Quikie93 I totally agree with you when it comes to base building RTSs. Those used to be overdone, too, but in the past several years they've all but become extinct. Other than Starcraft 2 and Supreme Commander 2 and perhaps a couple others, it feels like we've had none of them. Oh well, at least C&C Generals 2 is coming out in 2013 and promises to have the oldschool resource gathering and base building mechanics! F'k yeah!
@Lerandir Here's why there's QUBE at the end: TB did a QUBE video before this one, and the QUBE video will come out soon. However, because Unstoppable Gorg was released today, TB decided it would be more relevant to release this video today as well. This Information taken from TB's Twitter, BTW -- he was able to tell all this in 140 characters or less.
I'm really liking the more action oriented games with tower defense elements that have come out recently (i.e. Dungeon Defenders, Orcs Must Die, Iron Brigade,etc). Normally I play action games and more traditional army conquering RTS games.
@rancor260 Oh believe me, there are. You just have to know where to find 'em! The most popular Tower Defense games are Defense Grid, Revenge of the Titans, Sol Survivor, Sanctum, Monday Night Combat, Orcs Must Die, and Dungeon Defenders. The last four are hybrids of the genre and were games I really enjoyed because they allowed you to both control a character AND defend at the same time. Those games actually bring something refreshing to the genre IMO, unlike this one.
@Ranakastrasz tbh, I don't know. I just thought that as space is devoid of oxygen there's no way to perform combustion. which was apparently wrong so...yeah.
It would be awesome if you would do a video for Shattered Horizon like you did for Section 8 Prejudice. SH never really took off due to the steep hardware requirements and I believe it was the 2nd DX10 only game available at the time of release. So many people have upgraded their machines since it's release and there are tons of more users on Steam as well that have never heard of SH. It would be great to play this game again.
@Chubzdoomer Yes well done proving my point, those are all indie games made with a small budget... My point was that there's not many (if any) big 50€ releases made by big game companies... like there is in FPS genre. I'm not saying those games are bad but they're still fairly small games made with a small budget.
@Chubzdoomer You could say the same about EVERY game. I think there are too FEW modern Tower defense games. And we need more old school base building RTSes aswell
@Ranakastrasz there's plenty of fuel in the world that generates their own air, it's already in there. And while I'm not sure, my guess is that regular firearms don't need air around then in order to make the gunpowder burn. that guess comes from the fact that their is no air hole in a bullet. Also, I think that show forgot about space being darn cold, and overheating a gun might become less likely when it's rather cold.
I see this game on the featured on steam and I think to myself, "This is probably see TB WTF this in the next two days". I then open up youtube 20 seconds later, and I see this.
i could also see tower defenses not selling well because they are one of the most common free flash games aswell, and today if i tried to get on to a TD game in warcraft, it would be all DOTA games,
@AlanDaoust You're a bit off, there. Here's an example: If someone were to upload a copyrighted clip of a TV show to RUclips, SOPA would allow the site as a whole to be shut down rather than just the user's account.
@TheLozfan123 no its SOPA, its an organisation(not sure) that wants to restrict the internet to stop piracy...but that kinda means that they can shut down alot of webbsites(like youtube)
RIP. Its 2022 and your still missed'

Well this sure looks like a "stellar" game. It blew my expectations out of the water and straight into orbit.
Thank you TB for making this video!
I just found it on the steams, and was about to look for some real gameplay footage. Then I thought "Oh, it's very sad that there most likely isn't a "WTF is" of it :(" THen I was happy, when I there actually WAS one ^^
Just found this game in the AppStore, googled it, and now find that TotalBiscuit reviewed it. Thanks for another review. RIP
@TheDesertonfire Yes, that too. TotalBiscuit mentions Iron Brigade in this video, though, and after checking that out I'm impressed. We need more tower defense games like that.

this whole time I thought it was GORGE lol
I'm really liking the more action oriented games with tower defense elements that have come out recently (i.e. Dungeon Defenders, Orcs Must Die, Iron Brigade,etc). Normally I play action games and more traditional army conquering RTS games.
I was hoping he'd do this one! I just saw it on Steam, I've been looking for a new game, and the style really caught my eye.
Not usually into TD games, but this caught my interest. You got them a sale.
@sdsti was it a balistic weapon or some other system? and then, was it in the vacuum of space....where there's no oxygen for combustion to occur...
"YOU HAVE RECIEVED THE HERO MEDAL!"...French?!
At last a new TD game. Love playing TD games when taking a break from BF3 and Skyrim :)
im sure its a lot more noticeable on a higher resolution but even on 360p i can see the flying saucer's string on the title screen
Oh i love the way they managed to get to other planets and have all these things but they still use traditional rounds
at the end where it shows the "previous" wtf is video, what is, i check his channel and didnt see it so perhaps he means the next wtf is?
This game is totally awesome, runs great on 1080p on my low end machine and has innovative concept in td genre. Highly recommended to any td fan :)
@rancor260 Oh believe me, there are. You just have to know where to find 'em!

@Chubzdoomer I agree completely. Though I can't say I've heard of Iron Brigade. I'll have to look into it.
Those film sequences are just glorious.
Do you get many multiplayer tower defense games?
That are static, eg this game, defense grid, revenge of the titans etc?
@Ranakastrasz tbh, I don't know. I just thought that as space is devoid of oxygen there's no way to perform combustion. which was apparently wrong so...yeah.

oh wow the intro takes me back to Flash Gordon. (also the song by queen)
"I let my self to be defeated.. maby thers cool cutscenes after" like biscit really could do anything to prevent loosing at that point ^^
It would be awesome if you would do a video for Shattered Horizon like you did for Section 8 Prejudice.

@Slomoshun09 dude don't complain that is what we want, whether the troops know what they fight for is irrelevant, its only important that they fight!
Please do a WTF is Infested Planet. It's a great 2D tactic-game with a lot of action. IT deserves way more attention.
@Chubzdoomer I think the main issue is not that there are too many, but that none of them stand out from the rest.
where is the WTF thats at the end? I havent seen this one! MUST FIND IT!
@Chubzdoomer Yes well done proving my point, those are all indie games made with a small budget... My point was that there's not many (if any) big 50€ releases made by big game companies... like there is in FPS genre. I'm not saying those games are bad but they're still fairly small games made with a small budget.
Handy timing, now I'll have a better idea if I should buy this or not :D
@steamgamesfan2 Yes, I'm nitpicking, but does it really take so long to make an options screen ingame?
You put a link on a video of Q.U.B.E. that leads to dustforce...
@GTRoyalFlushed He did one last year on Halloween.
Just look up "TotalBiscuit plays Amnesia: Halloween"
18:55 why there is WTF is QUBE in thumbnail and it links to dustforce?
Thanks for showing this out, TB. I made my purchase after watching this lovely vid.
"They are spinning around and doing general spinning things" made me giggle (:
I kinda wish there was infinite Defence Grid DLC. That game is great, and I'd buy it all.
@Chubzdoomer You could say the same about EVERY game.
I think there are too FEW modern Tower defense games.
And we need more old school base building RTSes aswell
A quote from this made Indie Royale's newletter. Nice.
@WFtWoW Yeah but there is no in game Menu Screen. So you have to leave your World first to change the Options.
13:10 the newspaper. "Meanwhile here on earth, eagle eyed readers are rewarded with secret messages hidden in newspapers"
What is the video shown as his last wtf is at the end of the video?
just wondering who else stays to listen to the AWESOME outro music???
hah hah love the fine print under the headline: "Meanwhile, here on earth, alert readers are rewarded with secret messages in the newsprint..."
Is it just me or the video from the previous "wtf is" is qube while the link takes you to dustforce?
So finally we see TB raging at Q.U.B.E.,gonna get popcorn for that video.
you know, i think TB's catchphrase is "That's something to consider."
@wowfindeath He had one, it was called "This is Why we Can't Have Nice Things"
Voice ... too ... soothing ... must stay awake
"Hey look at me, I want to be different than everyone so I'm going out of my way to achieve that!"
@Ranakastrasz there's plenty of fuel in the world that generates their own air, it's already in there. And while I'm not sure, my guess is that regular firearms don't need air around then in order to make the gunpowder burn. that guess comes from the fact that their is no air hole in a bullet. Also, I think that show forgot about space being darn cold, and overheating a gun might become less likely when it's rather cold.
Tb seems to be in a good mood in this video
TB in the plainest voice "I'm having fun here" I laughed so much
@GTRoyalFlushed he did play a couple of years back
why is in the "missed my previous wtf is?" video box at the end of this video showcasing CUBE?
I see this game on the featured on steam and I think to myself, "This is probably see TB WTF this in the next two days". I then open up youtube 20 seconds later, and I see this.
Just a quick note, at the end it shows your last wtf video being Q.U.B.E instead of dustforce :)
how many times did TB say "thats something to consider" in this video?
@TheLololwut ah i see, i wasent quite sure if its was a bill or some organization...havent read alot about it...
i could also see tower defenses not selling well because they are one of the most common free flash games aswell, and today if i tried to get on to a TD game in warcraft, it would be all DOTA games,
Oooh, this looks like a lot of fun! ..can I get in on an iPad? That'd be awesome.
lol TB, 'i might just let myself die' he says on the verge of losing anyway :p
Did Inspector Gadget do the voice overs for this game?
Yet another game your videos convince me to buy.
"thats something to consider".
you said that like 28 times
@WFtWoW Yeah, But there is no In game menu Screen.
Now THATS a good game..pity for the options screen though,.
I hear fluids in the background, not the only clip. Is that soda or tea or something?
@GTRoyalFlushed He's already played Amnesia as a halloween special.
This game should have Devin Townsend's whole Zeltiod The Omniscient album!
Why is it after i started watching tb i always look at my option screens?
im wondering how you would do this on multiplayer?
@auqifx Then why has Megaupload been taken down by SOPA then?
TB is considering many things in this episode.
I was expecting an echo to THE UNSTOPPABLE GORG!!!
Perhaps we should get Sips to play through this.
@LordStilte Am I? Borderlands, Deus Ex, and BioShock just to name a few.
@Zeloron TB watched/atended that livestream if u didn't notice
@AlanDaoust You're a bit off, there. Here's an example: If someone were to upload a copyrighted clip of a TV show to RUclips, SOPA would allow the site as a whole to be shut down rather than just the user's account.
I wonder if the Gorg have ever heard of straight lines ?
Defender's quest, another really fun tower defense game, was just released. Please show em some love and thumbs up if you'd like TB to WTF it.
@haryesidur it's Q.U.B.E.. a pretty good puzzle game. TB + WTF + Puzzle game. Look forward to it!
@TheLololwut OH did not notice that I did not make it clear that the hole website would be shut down thank you!
it does not look french that medal,those are also the colors from RAF=Royal Air Force
is Epenis like he-man? bigger and stronger?
@grttipuz Know what else reminds me or Bioshock? The choice of font, the medal bars on the top left, and the dollar count.
is that the Razer logo on the planet's surface?
WTF Is....the video clip at the end linking to your previous WTF Is... ? Cos that isn't Dustforce.
@baryon15 no its a game on desura i think its called q.u.b.e.
why isnt this vid on my sub box?
TB needed to hone his inner American, than he would have had more guns.
If TB does a WTF is Happy Wheels ill send him all my money and my first born child
"Previous WTF" shows Q.U.B.E., yet the link goes to Dustforce. Aww - I want to watch TB beat his head to wall with the puzzles! :D
@TheLozfan123 no its SOPA, its an organisation(not sure) that wants to restrict the internet to stop piracy...but that kinda means that they can shut down alot of webbsites(like youtube)
Why are we attacking the Gorg? What did they ever do to us?
They're just coming over to visit... in... very... large... numbers...
