Literally doesnt work. Start game, nothing happens. No enemies even spawn, no working coop. No way to even get back to main menu. Alt+F4'd the game, and gave it a few more tries before giving up and uninstalling. Theres Early access, and then theres utterly pointless. This is the latter as it stands now!

Game runs, but there isnt a character in character creation, i can choose a weapon, but it doesnt really help when i cant start a game. I click ready up but ''Start Game'' doesnt do anything. so im stuck in the lobby and can play the game. PS. Why is the only settings avaliable in the game is Audio?? Like literally no other settings.

seems like a good start of wave defense mechanics and got abandoned. There are hitbox issues, mechanics that are annoying ... kind of what I would expect of early beta/late alpha... but there are no updates for almost a year, so this game is probably abandoned

"Defenders | Wave Survival Game" is a very badly made low poly top down brawler with a bunch of what look like stolen/flipped assets to make up the artwork for the game... it's a clunky, unpolished mess, with no content, it's just wave survival... it's unclear what envelope this is supposed to push in terms of game development, what gap it's trying to fill... this is just low quality shovelware that will probably never be finished. This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and it's clear the developers behind this didn't understand that. It's free for now, but the developer intends to charge for this if it ever leaves Early Access... but considering the poor public reception, it's likely this will not be one of the 25% of games that ever gets finished and leaves Early Access. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you …

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
