  1. Slaycation Paradise answers the question: what if we could travel to different dimensions, and blow up everything there? With a blend of twin-stick shooter and tower defense gameplay, Slaycation Paradise offers a fun, turn-off-your-brain-and-just-shoot kind of action experience perfect for when you need a little violent vacation. The premise of the game is that mankind has mastered inter-dimensional travel, but due to people invading and pillaging other dimensions it is now limited to only apocalyptic dimensions where essentially everything has gone to hell anyway so there's not much further damage you can do. Tourists can visit these dimensions to shoot, blow up, and destroy everything in sight to their heart's content. It's a hilarious and dark premise, and the idea of either exploiting or destroying the resource of inter-dimensional travel is probably all too real. And although there aren't cutscenes there's a fair bit of irreverent dialogue to be found here, which can get pretty funny. Slaycation Paradise is divided into missions. You pick your destination dimension and which mission to tackle, then you have just a couple of minutes to complete it before the portal opens up and brings you home again. You can equip two weapons—a normal gun and a special weapon—and you can build walls or turrets to fend off the hordes of monsters, zombies, etc. that you'll encounter. Crafting objects requires scrap, so you'll also need to scavenge while you're also shooting zombies, robots, etc. When the portal opens at the end of the level you'll need to survive for 60 seconds before it activates, so that's where the tower defense crafting really shines. Early on the game might seem a little difficult, or at least tedious. When you're armed with just a pistol and can only craft basic walls for defense, the gameplay seems narrow and challenging. Gradually though you'll unlock new weapons and towers, and that's where the gameplay opens up. Shooting zombies with a pistol or shotgun is all well and good, but what about launching a cat that explodes on contact? The wackier weapons add some much needed charm to the game and help break up the monotony of shooting and crafting. And no matter what weapon you're using, it's always satisfying to mow down hordes of enemies. You'll also encounter a handful of different mission types, but every scenario boils down to: shoot things and survive. The sweet spot for Slaycation Paradise kind of falls in the middle of the game. Early on you don't have many options so it's difficult, and in the middle you've got a good amount of options at your disposal and can enjoy more varied missions/dimensions. However, by the end of the game you'll be so overpowered that it's kind of a cakewalk. You can upgrade your weapons with special effects and give yourself upgrades like regenerating health or faster reload speed, so most enemies end up being not much of a challenge at all. The game is built around replaying levels over and over, but the depth of the gameplay doesn't quite warrant it. Still, if you're having fun blowing up zombies or demons you could keep replaying Slaycation Paradise for a long time. The game's presentation is solid, though at the same time leaves you wanting a bit more. The visual design of a top-down twin-stick shooter is never going to be the most robust, and Slaycation Paradise does do a good job within the limitations of this camera perspective. There are some little annoyances though, like how it's difficult to tell what is hitting you when enemies attack from range, or how enemies can spawn pretty much anywhere but they're hard to see sometimes, so you'll walk right into them. The soundtrack is well done though, and matches the bloody action energy of the game nicely. Slaycation Paradise is a surprisingly engaging blend of twin-stick shooting and tower defense gameplay. The game has a bit of trouble nailing down a consistent, smooth level of challenge, starting off quite difficult and ending up quite easy, but becoming an overpowered wrecking ball that destroys hordes of enemies is also part of the game's charm. If you're looking for a chance to just cut loose, Slaycation Paradise offers a nice getaway vacation. Rating: 7 out of 10 Vacations
