Decent little beautiful tower defense game a la kingdom rush. Has probably the most frustrating final level of all time in the genre though as it turns from fun to unfair. Good gem of a game until then.

Fun little tower defense game, solid execution, only thing I kinda miss is a small reminder about what each enemy icon represents. Like, I would take a named "Mainbuilding hunter" or whatever over "<Ooo", which is not to be confused with "<IIOoo", which is a flying enemy, stuff like that >.>

As others have said, this is the original and far superior 'Kingshot'. Very accessible, minimalist tower defense game that is rewarding and offers a fair bit of challenge. Loved my time with it, and will likely play for many more hours mopping up all the crowns and challenges.

An excellent game. Combination of strategy, roguelike, city builder, the game is quite easy to pick up but it doesn't hesitate to throw some serious challenges at you as you progress. But with the many varied options for perks, maps with enticing economic and defensive choices, and a decent variety of enemies, every challenge is ultimately surmountable - though you'll be driven mad sometimes trying to do it, but mad in a way that you don't realise four hours have just gone by and you still want to have one more go. Also runs very smoothly, looks very pretty, and is a steal even at full price.
