I like it its a different game of Tower Defense. I play so many different types and its good to have a refreshing way to play. Look Understand my point of view If the game is well built and playable I will give it a go and this one is progressive so if you think play for 3 hours will give you the jest of the game you would be wrong. If you bought and you have it and your bored or just plain looking for a game that will not first person you to exhaustion then try this. It has a lot more than you think. Thumbs up here! Remember you have to really play to understand if you will like it.

I liked the game. It took me 14 hours to make it through clearing all the levels and waves. I think the developer should add markings on runes which told us which turrets benefit from them. It's hard to tell if the extra projectile rune I'm looking at work only on archers vs ballista vs cannons. Maybe it can be used for all three? I focused only on archers. I didn't do anything with the luck runes, but made sure to keep enough of the rest to constantly upgrade them when available. On every map, I made sure to get to all of the other citadels and grabbed all the archer nodes. Towards wave 25-30ish, I usually had enough archers to constantly hold down my mouse without a pause in arrows. I would start picking up the ballista nodes as well and I would build a few just to cleanup the big enemies. Towards the later levels, I would build up 3-4 walls around my main citadel just so I wasn't constantly having to repair it before the timer ran out. This is probably what the developer wanted us to do. The tetris tiles make a lot more sense when I'm trying to fit the perfect wall in the hole. I also only stuck with the frost wizard. Some enemies are "invisible" but if you throw …

I want to love the only game to steal mechanics from NES Rampart. But this was pushed out the door too soon. My game got eaten by bugs, and now when I try to load my saves, it goes straight to halfway through a level while also choosing a starting fort location, and also all the towers randomly move, and I can't leave build mode while the UI is invisible. Heartbreaking. More games should try new things, but this developer's reach exceeded their grasp.

The only game where you can speedrun carpal tunnel and a migraine at the same time. Walls are made of paper and die so quickly that replacing them becomes a waste of time, once you're under attack at the centre you just get the camera shake saying you need to encircle your citadel every few seconds since many enemies one shot the walls, every single shot needs to be manually aimed but there's no easy way to control the multiple variations of turrets you have to aim so you're just frantically mousewheel scrolling and clicking almost at random. There's no strategy here, it's just rushrushrush to grab upgrades and then hope you can fend off carpal tunnel long enough to reach the ridiculous wave limit.

On the surface it looked fun but unfortunately its broken and devs have given up...

5 minutes in and you can already see this game was designed by a lazy ass. There's not real tutorial, just a wall of image and text to explain the game, but no tutorial to show you the basics. It tells you that you can switch to build mode any time, but never teaches you how, and there are no key binds in the settings to enter build mode. I'm just going to swipe my hand across my entire keyboard and see if I can figure out what keys do what. Pure idiotic game design. I may keep playing more than 10 minutes, and bang my head against the wall while I hit every key on my keyboard. But seriously the introduction to this game is absolutely terrible and lazy on the part of the devs.
