What players say
Players praise the blend of tower defense with an active playable hero, calling it dynamic and strategic. The pixel graphics are widely called ugly, but most say the gameplay makes up for it. There are two character classes with separate skill trees, 42 levels, and meta progression. Some players report janky controls, projectiles spawning at the wrong spot, and awkward camera movement.
