I really hate to write a bad review, especially for an early access game, but ... There are multiple problems with the game: Most of all, it's a boring grindfest. As in most tower defense games, you place your towers (in this case characters) on the map. But in this case there are just two kinds of towers: Ranged and Melee. And they do damage. In game you get "stars" which can be used to make one character stronger. The tactics part is rather small, because there are not a lot of options. Basically it is: -) Place characters. -) Wait -) Put star on a ranged character (it's pretty pointless to star a melee character) -) Wait -) Put star on a ranged character (it's pretty pointless to star a melee character) -) Wait ... Grind the current level till the ranged characters have earned enough xp. Level them and play repeat the grinding on the next level. Since only the characters that kill an enemy get xp, all xp go to the ranged characters. --> Melee characters are dead weight, since they stay several levels behind. So, it is basically endless grinding. Items: There seem to be alot of items, but in the end it's just cosmetics. Ok, there are several better versions of the current …

DO NOT BUY ! This game is currently abandonned and isn't in any kind of working condition anymore. The list of bugs and broken things is really too long to write here. Currently you cannot improve your " towers " anymore, I reported that 3 MONTHS ago and there isn't a single reply from the dev. DO NOT BUY !

This game is fun at the beginning, but it gets repetitive very soon. There are not many elements in the game for you to play around with. You basically have a tavern to manage your deck, a shop and somewhere you can combine parts to get a new and sometimes better part. The heroes are quite similar, except for the begining stats. However, I see much potential in this game. Lots of elements could have been added to the game to make it a gem, such as more customization and individual differences (skills?) for the heroes, more varieties of cards and more facilities that allow customization. I will not recommend this game at this point, but I will if the developer could add more depth and fun to the game. (There hasn't been any update since March though, sigh)
