Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed battlefield may not fit the changing trees, monsters, and resources between games
- Players who prefer a low-risk tower-defense structure may not fit the evacuation decisions and possible loss of battle gains
- Players looking for cooperative action RPG systems may prefer a game centered on teamwork, loot, pets, and character customization
Our take on Oasis: Dark Forest
The game departs from fixed tower-defense progression by making each run a sequence of changing resource and enemy conditions. Upgrade choices and optional evacuation replace a simple push through predetermined waves with decisions about both power and risk.
What is Oasis: Dark Forest?
Oasis: Dark Forest combines tower defense and base construction in a forest ruled by ghosts.
The main objective is to protect a holy tree by planting trees that form defensive lines. Each level has a customized terrain structure, while trees, monsters, and resources are generated randomly. After each enemy rank is defeated, the game offers three evolution items, and the selected upgrade affects the current battle. At specific ranks, evacuation allows the collected gains to be secured, while continuing the fight can produce greater rewards but also risks losing everything from that battle. Resources gathered in levels are used to develop a Technology Tree for subsequent battles. The game also includes exploration and roguelike elements.
