Horror-themed tower defense on ROBLOX
Ghost at the Door[BETA] is a free strategy game created by Narcissuss for ROBLOX. This fun game combines horror and tower defense elements for a casual yet enjoyable experience. Set in a school, you are given time to set until the ghost starts attacking you. For every second you hold out, you earn candy to upgrade and purchase towers.
By opting for a more zoomed out look, Ghost at the Door[BETA] lets you see your room. Paired with a steady difficulty progression, and you have an enjoyable game, like Brookhaven RP or Escape The Carnival Of Terror Obby.
Choose your room and survive
In Ghost at the Door[BETA], players start in an open field containing rooms of different layouts and sizes. The challenge is to choose a room and set up your defenses. After the initial timer, a monster starts roaming around, trying to break into different rooms. Once the boss is killed by your turret, a stronger version of the monster returns. You can upgrade your towers in real time.
Aside from upgrading the towers, you also need to repair your gate every now and then, adding a resource management aspect as you try to budget your funds for repairs and upgrades. While it can be played solo or with other players, the multiplayer session is more of a cooperative experience, making it the preferred game mode. In terms of visuals, it features standard ROBLOX graphics from a top-down perspective.
The horror elements in the design and unpredictability of the monster roaming around adds thrill to the experience. Also, the variety of tower combinations make this game replayable. The only catch in this game is that it’s not for very young players. It is rated as being for players nine years old and above, because of its mild themes and depictions of violence.
A replayable ROBLOX TD experience
Despite the influx of tower defense games on the ROBLOX platforms, there are titles like Ghost at the Door[BETA] that easily stand out from the crowd. It makes good use of its horror premise to give the boss an unpredictable attack pattern, forcing players to stay on their toes every moment in the game. Aside from its difficulty scaling and its minor depictions of violence, it’s a fully enjoyable experience.
