Highly recommend this game, I like this game so much. With great design and gameplay, this game make so better than some previous game I played. Although having a few issues now, they fix it ASAP that many games cannot do nowadays. I want more achievements to complete it, more difficult levels, more upgrades and more heroes to continue my journey in this game.1 found this helpful

Really good fun for maybe 10-15 hours, then starts to get samey. I would say, price accordingly~1 found this helpful
Not a tower defense game. If the mazing worked with barricades that take 5 minutes to generate one by one, maybe. But it's just frustrating to play as it is.
Still cant tab out, get one shot as a TANK, the "giant magic raccoon" enemy is ridiculously OP (its not even listed as elite or boss enemy either), terrible balancing, terribly laggy when theres a few more things happening on screen... Could not distinguish this game from a free browser game from 10 years ago.
I just find it fun, nothing too difficult but the visuals are satisfying and you can quite easily lose yourself in playing. There are a few issues that don't really impact the gameplay, like some of the translations being a bit weird or falling out of a textbox, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying my time. Also the dev is constantly changing things and listening to feedback, I think the game will have a good future.
