Unholy Heights
Once you have defeated the strongest of heroes and set out to take over the world, ‘Free Battle Mode’ is unlocked, but after starting again with Free Battle Mode active I didn’t notice any difference in gameplay; perhaps it only takes effect nearing the end of a second run? Nevertheless, Unholy Heights pulled me in from the beginning with some of the most charming graphics for a 2D game I’ve ever seen, which shines with the awesome monster design and sometimes varying looks of the female and male versions. It also has great music that suits its playful style incredibly well. The game offers a bunch of unique monsters to play with such as chicks, zombies, skeletons, fish-people, wolf-men, water-bowl creatures and many more that will have you learning about new creatures and thinking up new battle plans right up until the very end. It’s a completely original experience that lasted a good few hours, offers a little replay-value and charmed me from start to finish. It’s not a big game and it doesn’t aim to be. It’s simple, honest fun that comes at the great price of $3.99 (about £2.60). It’s exactly the type of game I would recommend to indie fans that are looking for something a bit different.

Unholy Heights is a blend of tower defense and management sim that doesn't over-complicate either element. Although some might wish the gameplay was deeper in certain places, there is a good seasoning of inner complexity that should keep many engaged. Add to that a charming, not-so-evil evil motif and some goofy (if not always the most grammatically correct) flavoured text, and it can be easy to get hooked - if you don't get frustrated by the spiking difficulty curve. This is definitely one for those who like bursts of busywork but don't feel a need to rush to an end. Just don't get too attached to that werewolf you raised up from a pup with free rent only to see him get slaughtered by a Legendary Hero. Oh, Wodog... why must all dogs go to Heaven!?
