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.

Needs balance for sure. You rely way too much on luck. It's not a hard game at all, it's the fact that you have little to no options to generate currency, strategize placement etc. Good time killer, but if you're trying to grind and complete the game, it'll leave you frustrated due to the lack of mechanics and ability to build your own fate.

Initially very fun, but it quickly becomes ridiculously difficult and your success hinges entirely on luck and getting the cards you need when you need them. You end up having to replay with the same modifiers over and over and over and over (ad nauseum) in the hopes that you'll eventually maybe get perfectly lucky. Plus, this game absolutely COOKS my battery, and that's on the lowest graphics settings. Between those issues, I've had enough and uninstalled.
