#100. Unholy Heights (PC, 2013)


Half building management sim, half tower defense game, this was quite the unique debut game from the four-person team of Petit Depotto. You play as the devil who becomes a landlord of a small apartment complex seeking monster tenants There's also those pesky humans seeking to wipe out monsters, so they will have to frequently defend themselves and their shelter from human attacks. You have some freedom during fights, such as when to send out tenants and when to have them retreat, but much about battling is automated, which is right up my alley because I don't like forced micromanagement.

There are a wide variety of monster types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses and wants and needs that give the game more strategic elements if you are trying to recruit certain types of monsters. Over time, tenants will fall in love and produce offspring, giving you more defenders of your turf at your disposal. The building will also grow over time to house more monsters, which you'll need because that coincides with increasingly dangerous attacks by the humans.

I generally am not a fan of tower defense, but it sunk its claws into me almost immediately. I finished it in roughly 10 hours across a single weekend, a mark seldom seen in my post-college life. I can't imagine playing this without KB+M, but I happened to find it on sale on Switch eShop within the past year and decided to buy it again just in case I wanted to try it handheld.
