What Makes Steampunk Tower 2 Stand Out
Steampunk Tower 2 is a unique tower defense game for free set in the alternative Steampunk universe.
There is a dragged-out world war with the enemy never seen before. Lord Bingham is coming back to the world arena and he needs a skilled commander.
There is a secret base hidden in the mountains of Spain, with ginormous aircraft Carrier transporting the Battle Tower under your authority and also a team of specialists who execute special assignments.
Game Features:
• The sequel to the unique tower defense game – Steampunk Tower! More turrets, more enemies, aircraft Carrier, giant map of Europe… everything as in tower defense games for free.
• Dynamic battles! Each turret has its own specifics and its unique super shot.
• Stronger enemies! Enemies have acquired extra armour but their weak spots have also appeared.
• Test super weapons and special bonuses that will increase your chances of success in a battle.
• Humungous bosses! You can’t beat these steam monsters on the first try.
• Secret Steampunk city! Build scientific research laboratories, warehouses and factories for building new turrets and upgrade Tower.
• War for the territories! Control the factories to produce component parts for your turrets.
• Team of professionals! Send your agents on special missions to get extra resources.
• Many storyline missions throughout Europe! Find a way to defeat the enemy and get into the heart of enemy territory for the final stroke.
• Trains! Develop railway network for transportation of agents and resources.
Can’t Steampunk be without trains?!

Community Insight:
So far this game has been great, however our journey through the games story has been halted due to a pretty annoying visual bug on the fire fly zeppelin boss. We understand to not to shoot the middle engine until youve taken out the rear engines with a saw launcher. However, on iPad Pro 12.9 fifth gen OS 14.6 you cannot see the rear engines to destroy with the saw launcher. Ive even gotten the zeppelin to 0 health and it just floats there unless you destroy the middle with machine gun turrets and then crashes into you. We hope this gets fixed soon as we cannot progress through the story.
We love the game. But we have a problem with the firefly boss. We cannot see the turbines on the end of the ship. We can see only half of the ship. Dont know why. The picture is just not big enough. We wish could attach a screenshoot. Could you fix that please! Ipad 6.
This game is really good and fun! See if you can please make merchandise out of some stuff. Like a Grand Walker figurine, and some plush toys. Thank you.
This game is great. We were introduced to the flash version on PC in our childhood and this is not as good as that but close enough. As we were playing, we reached the point where we unlocked England and had to defend London. After that, we had to defend Birmingham and Manchester. After this, we had nothing to do, we were forced to grind for XP as we need level 9 for industrial center level three and we were only level 8. After we had beaten the challenge, the quest didnt disappear. It stayed there and let us farm XP. That is until we closed the app. Now there is a blank box in the spot the quest would be and a quest to get out of jail get clothes and get something else. The dialogue involves a naked old lady yelling Touch us. It gives us 1000 XP if we complete it, but when we view it, it wont let us close the quest. Fix please.
The engrish is hilariously bad and the game is very grindy, we often start the game several times a day just to collect the timers and let it play through old levels by itself just for experience.
Then get this game. We lost count of how many missions we played before we got sick of the stupid tutorial. So we removed the game. Could be a pretty cool game. But they just want to play the damned thing for you for the first 20 missions. So why play.
Cant see the entirety of the battlefield because screen is too tall. Huge design flaw.
This game is not very well made. On iPhone the notch cuts off unit details in a fight. The placement of things on the screen leaves you having to be super careful or youll be grabbing the app at the bottom of the screen and flicking it around instead of moving a unit on the battle map. The art team seems unfamiliar with mobile games. Why am we trying to read size 6 font on screen where the only important thing is this text? we counted 6 different font sizes on the mission complete screen. Thats absurd. * The loading screen duration seems extensive for how simplistic the game is and how short the early missions are. And, then the load to get back. This is just sloppy. These are the first impressions and they dont make us want to see what other novice mistakes were made with the art design and the level design and the storytelling. The audio is hard to notice and thats a thing we look for (we play with headphones).
We guess we just dont get it. Cool idea, decent graphics, but we get upgrade crystals so slowly that we feel like Im doing something wrong. If we experiment with the turrets and build the wrong one, we dont get our crystals back when we disassemble one. This means that its possible to come to an impassable progression wall, in which the enemies are too difficult to fight and the turrets are too expensive to upgrade. Also, using the laser, the fun and interactive weapon, costs 5 diamonds every time you use it, which prevents us from using it. Anyways, just writing this review made us realize Im going to delete the app.
Steam version has much more FOV rather than mobile which makes some levels a bit harder like the 2nd bonus level, the Steam soldiers land closer to the base coupled with low health that always destroys the tower no matter what. Other than that issue its a great game if they could kindly fix this issue Id give it 5 stars.
They offer you the choice of opting out of data collection. The catch? You cant play the game. It just takes you back to the screen that allows you to opt out. If this is a bug, it is careless. If it is intentional, its egregious.
Loved the original Steampunk tower, still have it on our phone its such a good game. But this on the other hand is not a good game Sure there are some cool elements to it like the new Raven, that we guess is cool, and the graphics and sound are nice. But everything else just feels like this is just a crappy sequel of the first just to make money, kinda like those horrible Disney sequels nobody likes (no offense) :p Pros and Cons: Pros: New cool tower/weapon Good Graphics Awesome Sound Really cool bosses Cons: Bad Dialogue at times Only about 3 hours worth of interesting stuff Game feels like a crappy mobile port.. Which it is Overall we wouldnt recommend this, just play the original over this one any day, youll thank us :}.
Im the tutorial, we had just beaten the first level, and was told to upgrade. So we did. Then it brought us to a screen telling us to click a box, but nothing happened when we did. Tried leaving the game, but it brought us back to the same point. And we cant access anything else.
Sell your soul for a terrible tap time toilet. Your company and others are ruining the industry. Please stop making games.
Make a decent game and charge us for the game. Dont load it up with micro transaction garabage.
There is far too much added to this game compared to the first one. Very difficult and confused our to navigate through all the additions to this platform.
We loved the first game for its casual and simplistic play style. This just is just your run of the mill base builder trying to flood you with micro transactions.
We loved the first steampunk game for its simplicity, ability to play however much you want when you want and little very minor micro transactions, this game is almost a polar opposite of what the first game was. When we saw that the second steampunk tower came out we were excited because of how fun the first game was. When we downloaded and started the game up however, we quickly realized that this game has succumbed to the wave of pay to continue playing for energy, constant micro transactions of gems and resources, ads every 2 seconds. Very disappointing to see yet another good and unique game become like the rest :/.
Bottom line up front: save yourself the money and heartache and only play the first one. We loved the first game. Its a cool concept and is a breath of fresh air from all the other defense style games with its gameplay. However, they basically took the first game, nerfed the skill tree for weapon customization, and added in a bunch of resources as a method to turn the game into a grind and sell gems for resources. Wanna upgrade your tower or guns? Thats gonna need parts. Gotta send your train to get the parts, and that takes time and erythrium. Dont have enough erythrium? Well you can buy some. But wait, its not pay to win, cause you can spend in game coins to buy erythrium. Well what about when you run out of coins? You can buy some! You get maybe about 10-20 minutes of playtime in a single session before you have to let everything refill (or pay money). This might be worth it if theyd done anymore than just make nicer backgrounds and a few more maps than the first game. We would have paid for this game. We would have paid for the first one too, just to keep it from becoming pay to win trash like everything else nowadays.
We used to own it back on a couple of our other phones in the past but Ive always loved it never deleted the game, only broken phones, but in our opinion its by far one of the best if not the best tower defense game for free on the app store, and yea this is a real review for you septics like ourselves aloha.
The challenge missions are close to impossible after the first. We have checked the strategy on YouTube but the difference is that the pc has more space for the map then mobile. So it would be nice if there was more map to work with.
Super difficult, but wow! Super fun! We have been waiting FOREVER for it to come out and here it is. Absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work! We just want to say a few things. We kinda miss the grand airships. Those were our favorite. Another thing is if you released merch, like a grand walker figurine, we would buy that the second we got the money.
When we play this game there are units that that are firming off scream such as the missla troops and the shock bots please fix this.
Overall the game is good. The problem is the in app purchases. We purchased 2400 etherium and on top of that $1.99 that had 500 etherium. Since the cap is 1000. After doing objectives. First time it was after purchasing the 2400 etherium. It went to 1000 limit. When we purchased $1.99, we got 500 etherium (1500/1000). After a objective it went back to 1000 etherium. Please give back our etherium, we lost. Update – customer service was able to give us gems for the inconvenience. Changed rating to 4 stars. Thanks.
The good: This game is pretty original and we love the concept, The design, and the gameplay. Free to play and is easy to grasp. The bad: its essentially the same as the first game. Lack of energy you get maybe 3 (3 minute) battles totaling about 9 minutes of gameplay before you have to wait for more energy. The game progression is extremely slow, You get minimal experience for very difficult battles. Everything costs an insane amount of in game money. Theres only 5 weapon types. Not a lot of content other than the bad guys (where it seems the focus was) we would rate 5 stars if you removed the energy cap or increased it substantially (as mention above you get maybe 3-4 battles a day- and we upgraded our energy base twice already). We would also suggest a wider variety of weapons- having access early on. We had to rely heavily on the steam power attack for the quests and Ive played more than 25 battles already with nothing to show for it:/.
The boss fights are impossible to get through without using every single boost and maxed out towers. Its unfair that we dont even get a change against the walking robot boss, and Ive tried over a dozen times now.
Hi using iPad Pro 12.9 latest iOS (set automatic updates). We can not understand the messages that are displayed for teaching as much of the message is cut off because it extends past right edge of screen. Please fix.
Sorry for the 1 star, we really like the game. However, we bought the special today 4 times and was charged for all of them without receiving the items. Could we get in game compensation? Or a refund.
Made a in app purchase still havent gotten it other than that games great.
We get you have to put ads in there but we wish there was no fuel like can you put an ad for something else please and have no fuel other than that we really like the changes from the first.
The upgrade system is a bit confusing but apart from that this is a really solid game.
We purchased the starter pack and tried a pouch of gems and it took our money, but we havent gotten anything we paid for. Can we get a refund or the items we paid for please.
The game is good but for some reason whenever we purchase something we never get anything from it so we either need a refund or we need the stuff we payed for.
Just made a purchase and its no where to be seen.
