What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Defend Your Castle is a time-passing tower defense game that players find mildly entertaining but largely equivalent to the free flash version that preceded it. The main complaints center on the art style overhaul, which players feel looks cartoony and childish compared to the original's darker aesthetic, undermining both nostalgia and the appeal of the core gameplay. Most reviewers suggest this is best enjoyed as a free experience rather than a paid purchase.

is it fun? sure. Is it significantly more fun than the free online version? Not really. Also the "updated" graphics are a crime on the eyeballs, jesus christ. Kills much of the nostalgia factor as well when it looks like preschool classroom decor.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
