Add "Devil's landlord" to your résumé!

Unholy Heights, a fun mashup of tower defense and apartment management simulation full of quirky Japanese humor and odd-looking monsters living their little lives to the full, is available on GOG.com, for only $3.99

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/unholy_heights][/url]The Devil has converted a tenement building into monsters-only housing in Unholy Heights, a mashup of Tower Defense and Apartment Management Simulation. 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.

If you like humor to be a bit on the odd side in your games and you enjoy titles that mix weird cuteness, simulated life, and a bit of strategy, you can't say no to Unholy Heights for only $3.99 on GOG.com.

cute little ducklings? alright, bought, no need to know anything else :D

(I have a "thing" for yellow ducklings ever since I broke one in Sanitarium ;)

I like simulations and I like strategy but I don't like tower defense and comic like graphics... so I'll wait for playthrough videos.

Aw, I was hoping maybe we'd see another classic release this week. Oh well. :P

Hmm, another cheap, cute, tablet-esque game a la Triple Town. I can't say they don't have a place in a gamer's library, and I might just pick this up today myself. Never heard of it before, so a plus for finding a new (to me) game. :)

No joke: heard about this yesterday and, of course, looked for it on gog. And today, first thing in the morning (at least where I live) here it is. And damn cheap, too.

Its always nice to see japanese games here, for sure!

I've owned this game for a while now and I've yet to play it for more than 15 minutes, but I'd still say it's worth it!

It's actually quite a complex little game than its cute looks show. For one, you have to manage your tenants' happiness as they are much stronger when their satisfaction levels are high then you also have to find the right balance between getting as much rent from them as possible while maintaining that satisfaction level. Another aspect of the game is that you have to ensure you don't rent out a room to a monster type that has problems with another because that will cause their satisfaction level to go down. Then you also have to ensure that your monsters can actually pay the rent (this one is hard for me to figure out) because there are times they will be late on their rent and if they are late for too long they will leave in the middle of the night.

You also should, and I speak from experience, ensure they make children as the children grow up to be stronger than the parents and you will need strong tenants later on. I don't want to spoil why , just trust me :D

I hate tower defense and sim/management but I may have to get this bad boy. I guess sometimes all it takes is the right setting and a frog becomes a prince. :D

Good that is has this kind of depth to it. (Triple Town sadly did not ever seem to get beyond its original remit.)

Management sims and tower defense are probably two of my least favourite game genres, yet this is still interesting to me. It probably helps that I am simpatico with Japanese strangeness. :)

Is there a difficulty setting on this? Tutorial?

Does this game last a while or does it have a good amount of replay value?
