Death by Game Show is a 2D strategy- type of a indie tower defense game. Game is based in 26th century where apparently everyone else is stupid and our hero is way too smart and is therefor sentenced to rehabilitation. Rehabilitation turns out to be a TV-show where audience awaits your death and the main idea of the game is to avoid dying.

Right from the beginning I found the graphics really appealing for an indie game, lacking only the differences between two of a kind of robots or buildings. Every explosion and critical hit is presented in a comic book- way which adds a nice little touch with matched sound effects. The one and only background tune that is constantly playing, however, quickly becomes annoying and you start wishing for any Justin Bieber song instead. Extra points for the Big Arnie's "Get to da choppa!" phrase, always could be more of these!

The death match happens on a circular planet- map between two electric fences where you will have to use strategic skills and planning in a strategic view in order to destroy enemy robots and buildings, as there is never enough time nor energy. You spawn the robots by pressing keys 1 - 0 on your keyboard and build the buildings as well as use the boosters with your mouse, which sometimes didn't respond correctly to my actions.

Game is fun for the first 40 minutes where you finish the tutorial and do some of the easy levels of the game. I found it hard to follow the instructions since there were a lot of text content on the screen, but after 5 minutes of playing you get used to the excess signs between every inch of the screen.
After 40 minutes of playing, game becomes grinding hell where you need to run previous levels multiple times to buy yourself a good amount of boosters and buildings to finally pass the next round. Level 14 alone took me 40 minutes to pass, even with 0% difficulty slider - which I think is way too long for an indie game that has 50 levels, with even harder achievements.

Judgment
After a few level optimizations should become greater than Fallout Shelter!
PLUSSES AND MINUSES:

- difficulty of levels
- background tune becomes annoying after a while
- becomes grinding in terms of replaying

+ many levels
+ achievements and trading cards on Steam
+ random comments such as "Get to da choppa!"
+ hours of fun


OVERALL RATE: 7

Although game kept freezing at some moments and had to restart it again in order to proceed in a mission, the game itself is super awesome and not alike other mafia- games. Here you actually play and see what would happen if you wouldn't be the boss of the bosses, but just a normal hitman/ replaceable mafia guy.

Witness me!
