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.

update: after more time, there's in many ways a lack of decisions to be made. there's no way to influence your deck or tweak targeting so you kind of just have to take what you can get. super luck reliant in this way. the game is fantastic, but please add an undo button. I just lost a fantastic run because I cut off my endpoint and had all ten enemies in wave 39 spawn onto the end.

Addictive solid tower defense. Using a system slightly similar to Slay the Spire or Hearthstone, where you're using cards as actions/plays, you're either putting down towers, paths for enemies, utilities, etcetc, though, it's biggest downfall to me is the randy random of all card draws. You're either getting almost every card you want each turn or you're left frustrated with bad draws. Rng isn't bad. it just feels as though some games are losses regardless of any potential moves you make. 4.25
