What players say

Players describe it as a fun but shallow lane-based tower defense game similar to Plants vs Zombies, with unit variety and spells. Many crash repeatedly after a few hours, making the game unplayable for some. Opinions split on whether the low price justifies the short campaign and lack of multiplayer, with several noting that strategy becomes repetitive once a winning tactic is found.
