Ratings and reviews

A pretty decent defense game. However, the dev locked all between-game progression behind paid DLC. Which is pretty important to really go far. There's an achievement for beating difficulty 25 without the DLC bonuses. Difficulty goes to 30 and they didn't even bother putting in an achievement for beating 30 without the DLC bonuses.

Excellent game to come back to again and again. Plenty of viable builds. Matches last the perfect amount of time (5-10m once you become familiar with every upgrade). Unfortunately, the most interesting features are behind a paywall that—in my opinion after playing for quite a while—is too expensive. There simply isn't enough content for me to fully recommend the purchase. Still, there's plenty to do without paying, and there's also l always the possibility of future content updates.

Pretty good take on tower defense. Unique but familiar. Also pretty challenging, but not impossible or frustrating. I'd definitely like to see a v2 with a more thought out set of mechanics. One thing I will note is that this thing is buggy as hell lol. It hasn't ruined the game (yet), but I don't think I've used a buggier app. Hasn't seriously bothered me yet, though.
