Isle of Arrows changes
Steam Next Fest is in full swing and the leaderboard is getting crowded! Here are 5 tips to help master all 25 waves and improve your score:
Income Balancing economy and defenses is crucial. For each 10 coins you hold, you gain 1 additional income after each wave. Reaching higher income levels allows you to easily skip tiles that don’t fit your layout, but saving too much and neglecting your defenses can lead to defeat quickly.
Luck of the Draw It’s often better to adapt to the cards you’re dealt rather forcing a specific layout, as you can’t always rely on getting the exact tiles you need. Leaving too many gaps in your paths that require specific tiles can be dangerous!
Puzzle Gameplay Isle of Arrows plays like a bit like a puzzle game. Optimizing the layout of your Isle is the key to a high score. With building space limited, it might sometimes be better to skip over a tile entirely!
Maximizing Towers & Traps Make sure your towers and traps reach the most amount of path tiles possible! If you manage to make a path loop around a cannon tower or spike trap, your defenses will become quite deadly!
Upcoming Enemies Clicking on the spawn point (red circle) shows how many and what type of enemies will spawn in the next wave. See a fast enemy such as the Rogue or the Courier coming up? Invest coins to advance tiles and lengthen the path!
