How it feels

A methodical strategic defense game where you carefully place units to hold back waves.

What players say

Players say the game has very little content for its price, with only one map and forced playstyles. Balance is a major issue: the only viable strategies involve turtle or flame portal builds, while RNG can end a run unexpectedly. Long-time players report that updates have made the game harder rather than better, and some suspect development stalled.
