Was "Old TDS" ACTUALLY Better?

I give my thoughts on the highly controversial topic, whether or not the older versions of Tower Defense Simulator were better. The time period most often talked about is 2019-2020, as players claim it surpasses the current 2021-2023 era. But is it true...?

From Minigunner and Commander to Accelerator and Engineer, TDS has changed.

    I started playing TDS with the easter 2020 event, wanted to (hopefully) reach a big milestone by looking back at the game then. Thanks for all the support ❤

    something about old tds was charming
  • @LordBiggest
    I remember playing tds on the old days, I remember how memorable and fun it was Started playing when there was SpongeBob music and the gladiator event

    TDS now is more of a brand than a game given what they've been doing. I wouldn't be surprised if TDS one day gets a crappy official animated series or something. I mean, props on the dev team for being able to somehow take a school project with stolen ideas into a money-making machine but damn

    I personally agree wirh Eggrypted here, the community and push of constant yet simple updates along with the mass leaks and fresh new updates every 2 weeks - 1 month just made it better to me. Even stuff like the Smaller = Bigger update which added Pursuit, a great tower and the War Machine was given to moderators, with them showcasing it it gave people something to look towards and find cool that you couldn't possibly see in game. While as now it's nothing like that, I mean sure the quality has been drastically improved but at what cost?

    I joined around July of 2019. I've been in the TDS community for a quite a while. While I don't hate the monetization, I do agree that the crates are a bit too pricy & grindy. My only real problem is the lack of unique skins. Wraith Minigunner, Partisan Outlaw, Redemption/Golden & Kasodus Cowboy, where all skins that felt like care was put into them instead of just being another number in the pile of skins. We have been seeing more unique skins be added to the game, which is nice. But I still want to see the old ones be remade into something more akin to their original designs.

    Winning Fallen Mode in old TDS was like winning 5 events in a row back then, legendary.

    sure new tds has much “better” graphics and stuff, but there’s stuff about old tds that makes it better in my opinion back then, you could use any tower you want like rocketeer and you would still win (unless you’re broke and you only had scout and stuff), you could beat events without needing to follow a strat, everything was a lot more simple and you were mainly playing for fun (with goals along the way), the game was less laggy, etc.

    Watching ur content for so long now, and am glad I have been a part of the journey. Congrats on 100k!
  • @Dubs_675
    I’d say the new is just more polished then the old tds but the updates have more large gaps in which could cause the players to get bored instead in old tds they had a lot more content to consume and there was more updates stacking more content for the players.
  • I keep on rewatching this video, the editing is just amazing and your just such a good narrator :)
  • @fnfpeople
    it always makes me happy when your an old fan of a content creator, been subbed since 65k and this dude is making the best content imaginable. Oh and, I played 5 matches of night 1 in solar eclipce and didnt play until 2022 christmass
  • @mannycantu1285
    I really loved old tds due to its artstyle and design of the towers and zombies that made everything unique, and the amount of replayability with the platinum crates on top along with other cool skins

  • @ii8thecookies
    I've been along the ride since Koneko made a video about it (2019), and as much as I look back on what was in the past before, I also enjoy the scale of these massive updates, even if I don't get to play as much anymore, due to being pushed away by both new and old players, atm I've moved onto Tower Heroes atm for their Doors collab, and I appreciate the relatively welcoming environment it has compared to TDS. In the end of the day, I really just wish to have fun with games like these, man.
  • @renatoalonzo5603
    I think which I love more about old tds is the old balances for towers Like cowboy making a bank vault for shooting Outlaw having hd which can kinda help And also the old bugs example - the unit slowing
  • @computerized7833
    The only reason i started playing tds again is because of this channel and this specific video, Thanks and keep up the good work!
  • @breadstarss
