Operation Octo

“And don't get me started on how good the sound design and soundtrack are.”

“Every single sound effect, from placing your towers to homing missiles, and every single piece of music is a delight to listen to.”

“Another great thing about this game is its soundtrack and sound design.”

“From the charming artstyle, to the turret and enemy variety, to the simple yet chaotic gameplay, to the little details and interactions you don't notice at first glance, to the silly shenanigans you can get away with if you play well enough, it has pretty much everything I'd want out of it.”

“Its smooth, (like butter in a frying pan) like Sargent Roebuck would say: "quick and clean" and the graphics are stupendous and charming!”

“The artstyle makes it feel as though you're reading a comic book, not playing a game.”

“The game offers a fast-paced yet manageable experience with a smaller economy. If a tower (also clam) gets knocked out, it will come back after a while, making placement a much more important task while still feeling in a three-dimensional atmosphere with multiple frontlines.”

“It has an atmosphere and a feeling that gives the PvZ vibe, and the gameplay itself isn't lacking.”

“It's the gleeful atmosphere of the game.”

“Despite still being in development, the 3 worlds that are already released, alongside the constant content updates, provide more replayability than you'd expect.”

“The game may not be fully finished, but with some extra content and challenges in the Discord server, there is some replayability to the game!”

“The game is a must-play for any person who enjoys tower defense games, offering good replay value despite minor nitpicks, plus a very good OST and nice art.”

“At times the field creates a hilarious chaos and I loved to see all the effects and sounds.”

“Operation Octo is a seriously good game for anyone who enjoys tower defenses. It has a very unique format where you can run around the field and take damage and die. The towers are all fun and interesting and so are the foes. It made me feel joy and stress and frankly, despite there only being 3 worlds, the achievements are fun to get. It's fun, quirky, cool, and funny. I feel like it's a solid 8/10.”

“The variety of sea creatures adds charm and humor to each encounter.”

“Mid-game, some narrative elements emerge, revealing a quirky backstory about intelligent sea life fighting off human invaders.”

“Story elements appear deeper into the game, adding light narrative context.”

“Operation Octo is a seriously good game for anyone who enjoys tower defenses. It has a unique format where you can run around the field and take damage and die. The towers are all fun and interesting, as are the foes. It made me feel joy and stress. Despite there only being three worlds, the achievements are fun to get. Overall, it’s fun, quirky, cool, and funny, making it a solid 8/10. Minor issues include the boss fights not being the best part and currency grind being a bit hard, but most extras beyond the towers are optional. Looking forward to more worlds and updates.”
