About This Game Welcome to Unholy Heights, a mashup of Tower Defense and Apartment Management Simulation! The Devil has converted a tenement building into monsters-only housing, and has big plans for the future. Sucker monsters into moving into your building, charge them rent and keep them happy by buying them furniture.Unfortunately, heroes have caught wind of the Devil's plan, and will stop at nothing to wipe him out. Knock on residents' doors to call them to battle, trap heroes in devious pincer formations, and command your troops to victory. Monsters get jobs, fall in love, have children, and even skip out on their rent. Keep them happy or you might not have anyone to fight for you when heroes come knocking. But don't be too soft: there's always prospective baddies looking to move in, so kick out the freeloaders when the time is right! Being a landlord is a difficult job, but it can't be harder than running Hell...right?Every monster is different. Some are lazy. Some are strong. Some are perverts.Use an intuitive mouse-based control scheme to command your troops into battle.Encounter more than 20 different monster species, and take their money.Build a reputation with different monster families based on your performance and play style.Take on quests at your pace to unlock new monsters and furniture.Build a stronger army as residents have children far stronger than themselves.Get monsters in the mood for love with inappropriately shaped erotic cakes.Look on in horror as lovingly hand-drawn monsters and humans horribly slaughter each other over money. Monster occupations, hobbies and desires are all procedurally generated to keep you on your toes. 7aa9394dea Title: Unholy HeightsGenre: Indie, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Petit DepottoPublisher:AGM PLAYISMFranchise:PLAYISMRelease Date: 16 Aug, 2013 Unholy Heights License What did you honestly expect? Let's get the good stuff out of the way. It has some fun music, but it kinda gets old when there's only one track playing all throughout the game. It's got a delightful aesthetic. It's also fun in short bursts, and is a fun, simple game.Now...It's a tad too simple. And the combat relies on your creatures actually being there, which sometimes they are not, and you're just screwed. And it doesn't even tell you in anyway that they are out or not unless you look into the rooms, which is incredibly inconvenient. Not to mention I think it's impossible when an attack is happening. So, click away and hope they are there. There is a bit of micro managing you can do whilst in combat, but not incredibly so. You can't go full Star Craft, kiting your foes to death without taking any damage. Also, the pacing just seems a bit off. I'm not sure what it is about it. Could be the health regen is incredibly slow, basically meaning you just have to sit there waiting before taking quests...doing nothing... I'm not too sureIt is fun. I certainly don't hate the game, and I don't....neccesarily regret the purchase, but this would be MUCH more at home on a mobile device where you don't have to sit through it for long periods of time.. Great and engaging time killer. It starts out fairly simple: Fill up your apartment complex with powerful monsters who can not only fight, but can pay their rent. Use rent money to buy upgrades to keep the tenants happy and ultimately strong enough to fight off the heroes who want you dead. The heroes get stonger and the games gets pretty challenging, forcing you to strategically room your monsters and try to keep the commplex full. Worth playing. Love it.. Yes, this is the Slumlord Simulation you are looking for, and it's so adorable your teeth with rot. So enjoy gaming through your halcyon days wearing dentures, cooing at babby skeletons, and getting irritated that the Succubus couple in 302 won't stop pillow-talking to come help with the nasty raiders trying to steal your hard-earned gold (YOU'RE MY ONLY LONG-RANGE DEMONS AT HOME, GET YOUR BUTTS OUT OF BED AND OUT. THERE.). PSA: Fighting next to the stairs is almost always a bad idea. RIP; Everyone who was home from work during that last adventurer raid. But seriously, tactics are a huge part of this game. If you're dying a lot, pay attention to resistences. If the adventuers you're going up against are mostly mages, then make sure that a monster with high magic resist is leading the charge. Make use of pincher manuevers and save empty slots in your apartments for healing items so that you can get your heavy hitters back in the fight quickly. Don't forget to adjust your rent according to how upgraded your apartments are. If your favorite monster is falling behind on his rent, set it to $0 until he manages to catch up again. Don't let him build up a huge debt or he'll just skip town without paying and then you'll lose both the money and the monster. If you have deadbeat monsters who frequently fail to pay their rent but are essential to your defense then just resign yourself to not collecting any income from them. It's not worth the risk in the long run and your other monsters should more than make up the difference as long as you're frequently doing quests.. I love this game. It's goofy, but fun. My daughter has a plush chick that reminds me so much of the cheeps in the game. Every time I see it I want to play the game.. Really cute and fun little management sim, with an amusing premise.. Having never played any tower defense or micromanagement games, this is an amazing introduction to the genre. It's fun and witty. This is actually one of the most addictive games I've ever played. Pros:You actually get attached to your characters and feel like the best landlord in the world even though you're Satan and your plans are actually to raise an army to destroy civilization. It makes you reflect on how you judge people in real life: You're not going to let an unemployed, cigarette butt collecting cheep cheep bird rent your property without some sort of social assistance. The demons and monsters have kids, get promotions, etc.ConsIf I was a real landlord, I wouldn't be giving into the creatures' unrealistic expectations. ie: Giving them a 3D TV. This is actually some of the most fun I've had on my PC in the past month, Highly reccommended.. So Unholy Heights is a strange yet addictive amalgamation of RPG, time management, tower defense strategy game. You manage a building full of monster tenants who also fight heroes that try to rob you. It reminds me of one of those Kairosoft mobile games only with fighting. While this game does have that casual flavor as you are trying to make a profit and of course keep your monsters happy they work, get sick, fall in love and make babies. But if you want to spice things up you can always play one of the many quests to fight heroes and gain cash to spend money upgrading your apartments.With each upgrade you attract a a higher breed of monster tenant all with different streengths and weaknesses. Housing placement also plays a factor as not all monsters get along and if you have two neighbors next to each other that don't get along one might end up leaving or skipping out on the rent if they can't pay.I found this game to be charming. Everything from the cute cartoonish graphics to the strange melody. For the price it's well worth the time I spent playing.. Pretty addictive and charming management sim/tower defense hybrid.Like the fact you play as the villains not the generic good guys.Gameplay is simple but fun, with intuitive controls.For little over a dollar (SGD), you can't go wrong with this game if you like these two genres.. A casual upgrade-until-you-win game where you start as the landlord (literally the devil) of four apartments, get tenants (monsters) to earn money, spend the money on furnishings to satisfy tenants (and unlock stronger tenant-types), and get tenants who are around to fend off invaders (human heroes). No real plot or story, only a few recurring enemies.There are four 'phases' of the game, starting with one floor (of four apartments) and expanding until you end up with four floors. There's a marked increase in difficulty (enemy power) each time you expand and build another floor. There are only a certain amount of missions that you can do in each phase so you'll almost always end up grinding for gold on the single repeatable generic mission they give right before an expansion (unless you did enough grinding before for stronger tenants).The more you spend on room furnishings, the more rent you can charge. However, it feels like most will eventually go into debt if you push it anywhere close to 50%. 'This room rocks' just has to do with their satisfaction gain/loss from furnishings and doesn't mean they can actually pay that amount regularly. The thing about debt is that they get depressed and it feels like the debt can easily snowball or lead to them running away. I couldn't be bothered with micromanaging/optimizing the rent so I kept rent pretty low (enough so I rarely had to bother with debt) and had to gain money through mission grinding and tenants that were better off.You want your tenants to be strong enough to fight off invaders but it has a messed up (morally) stat upgrade system. Children (once grown up) have better stats than their parents. But the problem is that only 3 characters can stay in a room. There are two main approaches if you want stronger tenants (that are also achievements if you only do one approach). The first way is to keep evicting the parents so that the younger generation can raise their own children (and repeat for many generations). The second is to force the parents to lose battles and perish to open up the space.It's hard to find an alternative while keeping the game simple. Maybe they could have had it cycle through the family and the parents retire to someplace safer and leave the apartment when the children grow up. Children grow up pretty quickly so I could see the parents age just as quickly. Of course, you do play as the devil, so...Alternatively, you could skip all that (keeping tenants for a long time very rarely lets them see a job promotion for a little higher pay) and try to get by with unlocking stronger tenants. However, I don't think their base stats are great enough that you can completely ignore the other methods. You'd probably be giving up quality for quantity and be forced to sacrifice several tenants per strong enemy anyway (and be forced a little into the second method).The general way to play is to get tenants, do missions (invite enemy heroes to fight) for gold, spend gold on furnishings to make tenants happy/indirectly stronger, repeat. If missions are too hard, grind/wait for gold and either wait for your reputation to go up to unlock stronger tenants or wait for tenants to fall in love, have children and do the generational stat-boost.Worth a look if you like upgrade-until-you-win, grinding games with simple mechanics.Other thoughts:I would've liked a 5x+ speed option. I spent a lot of time at 3x speed, doing something else while I waited for gold to accumulate (not unlike a clicker). Unfortunately, there's no option to keep it running in the background (it would be nice to just switch back when the music changes for an event, possibly with auto-pause).Because the trade-in value of furnishings is always half of what you pay, it feels better to skip tiers of upgrades when possible. However, that means idling for daily rent and the repeatable mission grind. For example, the Tier 4 (of 6) bed is 800g but that's a few days of gold. Of course, there are some types of furniture with Tiers that are obviously tailored to specific creature types but I don't think things like beds are one of them. You could buy incrementally what the residents ask for but it feels so much more efficient to just save up and buy big. And you need days to pass by anyway in order to gain reputation (to unlock new types).It would be nice if they better explained the mechanics of furniture of the game. It mixes in actual information with fluff in the item descriptions. I believe better beds restore more HP when sleeping, better kitchen things restore more HP when eating, certain ones mention training stats, hobby items make them stay home to defend the complex more often, and other things raise resident satisfaction and creature type attraction.It seems from the description text that exercise equipment boost either attack or defense, depending on the item. Does that mean you should buy both the Tier 4 for offense and Tier 6 for defense?Does buying unnecessary things add useless actions to the seemingly random pool of actions a tenant can do? For example, a bookshelf (increasing magic power) for a physical damage type seems useless on its own. But would it also waste time using it (so that it's better off not buying it at all)?Sometimes certain furniture are required for jobs (according to the 'gimme' text) so you should check once in a while.It feels like if there are too many battles (you do too many missions or get unlucky with a random encounter), residents who want to go to work keep getting forced back into their rooms because of the fight. I assume that means they don't earn gold that day and might go into debt from rent.The best abyssal creature has an additional requirement that the others don't. Like the other types, they'll only show up if their type-respect/love is high enough but abyssals require altars to raise respect/love. This means you need about 6 rooms of the worst abyssal with altars if you want the best one to be in the tenant applicant pool (and for existing ones to find a partner).3g/day is too much for some apparently. Is savings not a thing or is the pay from their jobs that bad/inconsistent (or did I rush through too many missions and they were the only apartment to get unlucky)?
