Sometimes, simplicity is key in gaming, and that's exactly what you get with Blob Attack: Tower Defense. This straightforward tower defense game, developed by the solo developer Stanislav Buchkov, is now available on the iOS App Store. In Blob Attack, you'll engage in the classic gameplay of building towers, gathering energy, and unlocking new, more powerful weapons to fend off waves of oncoming slimes. These globs of slime, reminiscent of those seen in games like Dragon Quest, add a trendy yet familiar enemy to the fantasy genre mix.
While the gameplay remains unpretentious and genre-typical, there's one aspect that stands out, albeit not in a positive way. The use of AI-generated art in Blob Attack is noticeable both on the store page and likely in-game. This choice in art style can be off-putting for some players, which is unfortunate as the simplicity of the game should not equate to a lack of quality. The presence of AI art seems to be a recurring theme in Buchkov's work, as seen in other titles like Dungeon Craft, a pixelated RPG that could have been promising without this artistic choice.
If the use of AI art is a deal-breaker for you, but you're still interested in exploring similar games, consider checking out the latest entries on Off the AppStore. There, you'll find a variety of games available on other third-party storefronts that might better align with your preferences.
