Sentinel 3: Homeworld App Reviews

This game is a good tower defense. Nothing new, but its a great game in its kind. Still, I prefer the good «Defender Chronicles» on my iPod touch!

I pretty much played all the prev Sentinel games and played all the DLC maps on my Iphone, when i heard this game is on Mac it was a no brainer that i must get it becuase im a diehard Sentinel fan + playing it on a bigger screen and better visuals = WIN. So far i love it. I cant ask for anything more than more maps for the Mac version :-)

Its so rare to find a good quality, addictive and - dare I say it - replayable tower defense game! Im impressed! Excellent value for the money. Easy to learn, and challenging to master. A suggestion would be to give some better numerical values to each weapon, especially the enhancements tower. Its a complete mystery as to what exactly it improves, other than damage values. Also, a TIMER would be nice for the sentinel weapons. This game would be incredibly replayable if it had a randomized map generator, or even better, downloadable maps! But when it comes to value and playability, this is an excellent game.

Gave it a whirl for 1.99, and NOT dissapointed! Its a great bargain for 2 bucks. Lots of fun upgrades and ways to play each level. 4 difficulty levels keeps it interesting.

This game is awesome but there is a problem and it is not a small one!!!! the graphic is verry nice but THE MOUSE POINTER IS REALLY PAINFULL!!!! You always looking for the mouse pointer… WE WASTE TIME TO SEARCHING FOR THE MOUSE… Every seconds is verry important, its not verry complicated to change the pointer!!!!! PLEASE HELP! This game will be 5 Star if the resolve this problem cause has i tell before… It is awesome!

I played both the iPhone versions of Sentinel and they were great fun. Now that its an app for my MB, its even better. Plus the updates to the maps, addition of the commander element and a levelup style of weapons and commander abilities makes it worth the purchase.

Ive always loved this game since day one for the iPhone. What it needs is a faster fast forward option though, like...3x faster than what it is!

very nice game i start to play and after lookk to my clock wow 120 minute :D dont lose it

This game is so much fun. Im so glad to have it on the Mac so I can use more screen real estate than an iPhone. Its worth the money.

Great game, when I can play it... I get kernel panics after a few minutes playing everytime...

During campaign mode, it will randomly start the first level rather than the level I have selected. Also need to spend a little more time optimizing the UI for the Mac, rather than Cocoa-Touch. Fun tower defense, would have five stars if they fix the bugs, and do a little more work on the UI.

I have sentinel 2 on my iphone and love it. I was browsing the Mac AppStore, and figured this was worth a try. Very glad I made the purchase. This game is very good. Excellent graphics. Very good gameplay (although it is sometimes a bit of a pain to click on your towers). I like the new commander mode which allows you to outfit a mech for use on the various levels. All in all, this is a significant improvement on an already polished iOS game. It made the translatio to Mac very well. If youre a TD fan, this is one of the best in the AppStore.

The Good: Ive already spent many an hour playing through all the levels on the game. I find tower defense games a particularly addictive line, and this is no exception. The graphics are gorgeous and I like that I can resize the window however big or small I want. Ive had to pull myself away from the game a time or two already. I can actually update may towers while the game is paused, a handy feature when the bad guys have just broken your defense and you need to reposition. The Bad: Be sure to read the 20 levels across *14* maps Some of the maps are repeated, just with harder challenges. Not a big deal, but I missed that and was a little bummed when I saw some repetition. Playing Endless Campaign didnt reward me with nearly the amount of experience Id expect. While the last level allows for 120 waves and will reward you with a nice chunk of experience, I played one map in endless mode and got like a 1/5 of the experience as I got in the campaign mode. Drones take a long time to collect a measly $20. The sell button is often located above a tower i want to click on to update and dont have a do you really want to warning, resulting in me selling a few towers before their time. The Mediocre: I wish the UI would show me what wave Im playing against / coming up along with the enemy stats (hit points, special abilities) so I could plan. Keyboard shortcuts would be really handy for buying, selling or updating towers. I wish each upgrade brought not just increased damage, but a little bit of increased special abilities instead of having to wait for the last upgrade to get the special feature. Commanders aura is supposed to provide increased stats to towers, but I can never tell what that is really doing. Id love to be able to specify a custom game (No flyers, endless waves, starting $$). Damage is specified as a number, which I presume is per hit, but not clear then how fast some things are shooting, like the flamethrower. No options for specifying how towers should attach (near, weak/strong, etc). Interest earned, and factory money isnt a lot and doesnt seem to increase with level difficulty at all. This is a fun game certainly. Its not perfect (what is?) but I definitely felt it was worth my money for what Ive got out of it.

best TD game aside from geodefense for iPhone. Excellent grafiks even on 27 iMac! Buy it!

Good for the price. Interesting weapon and upgrade choices. There does seem to be a bug, as someone else mentioned - after finishing the campaign on "easy" I was unable to play anything other than the first level on medium.

Recent update to this game makes it even better.

I bought this for my iPad and fell in love with S3. Bought it for the Mac and its the same great game. Theres one major difference thats a dealbreaker for me -- there are no high scores, no leaderboards, no nuthin. This isnt Origin 8s fault, as OpenFeint and GameCenter havent been ported to OS X. The games big appeal for me is the global leaderboard. The Mac version doesnt have it. I wont ding the game with a poor 1 star review, because its a fantastic game, but as it stands I wont bother playing it on the Mac. If tracking highscores or leaderboards are important to you, pass this up and get the iOS version.

This game is very fun and addicting, though it could use a few more levels.

I rarely write reviews but felt I had to on this one. This game is brilliant fun. Great balance, great graphics and sound. I had not played a Tower Defense game before this and I am really surprised how fun it is. I cant wait until Sentinel 4 !
