Ratings and reviews

Worth the price if you like tower defense. The game is unforgiving and forces you to fail to learn, so you will lose before you manage to pass levels. Factions completely change the way the levels are played, and the diverse amount of tiles and content ensures you will always have something to do. Also, the art style is fantastic.

Great tower defense game. It does need more, like a sandbox mode, a mode where the map is pregenerated and just general content but if you're looking for a unique tower defense, look no further. I've played sooo many tower defense games over the years and this is the first in a very long time to keep me interested for any period of time. I find myself coming back despite completeling all of the campaign.

The game relies too much on random (tile) generation for my taste. This can't be called a strategy game, but more like "how much luck do you have" game. Positive is that it can be played offline, it's a single purchase without any micro transactions. Since it's promoted as the strategy game I strongly disagree that heavy RNG is "strategic".
