In terms of gameplay, Unstoppable Gorg doesn’t do anything innovative. I mean, you’re pretty much building income, doing research, and placing turrets.

But what makes it memorable are its gloriously campy cutscenes, lovingly styled after 1950s sci-fi B-movies. It leans hard into the genre’s cheesy charm, delivering pure, self-aware fun with a sense of humor that’s genuinely funny.

I actually remember hearing about this when it came out.

Kinda freaky to think that 2012 is retro these days.

Thanks for sharing!

I am going to check this out. If you are interested in a modern fantastic tower defense that (also) doesn't break the mold check out Bella Wants Blood. It's very cute, and I hear her say "STANNNLEEEYYY" whenever I think about it.
