Gonna start it up for the first time!

Hey guys, so I've had this game for a few weeks at least now, bought it on a sale, but haven't even tried it yet. I just had a few questions.

Is it possible to play single player? I'm not THAT big on multi, but I'll probably try it at least (my brother also bought it).

Are there any particular things I should think about in the beginning in order to not mess anything up?

Any general tips?

Thanks guys, maybe by this time tomorrow I'm as hooked as you seem to be :D

First off, hope you enjoy the game!

  • It is possible to play through everything solo. One thing you will need to do, however, is switch characters during a map (during build phase) so that you can build towers/auras/traps from other character types. Maps can be done with only one type of character's towers, but generally a combination of towers is easiest.
  • One of the first things you should do is make sure you are playing on TrendyNet. I would advise against playing on Open since your characters can move from TrendyNet to Open, but not from Open to TrendyNet. You can do this by clicking "Play Online" and then choosing the "TrendyNet" option. Once you select a character and click Start, you can choose a private match and play alone if that is what you choose to do.
  • As a first time player, Apprentice tends to be easiest to play since their towers are pretty good, but any of the other ones are good too, and you'll most likely end up making one of each at some point.
  • Putting most/all of your points in tower stats at the beginning (at least until you know more about how the game works) was the most helpful realization for me.

Good luck!

This seems really helpful, I'll follow your advice and start with an apprentice. Thanks a lot!

I solo'd the game through easy, medium and hard on the campaign maps. And halfway through insane. Then my friend started playing, but I'm sure I could have solo'd it all with enough determination and planning.

If you go with multi, do it with friends. The PUGs are real jerks.
