What players say

Players call it a charming, Kingdom Rush-inspired tower defense with a twist: you move towers and a controllable hero around. They praise the detailed pixel art and the many pop-culture easter eggs. The 20-ish-hour campaign is seen as short, and the menu music is a common annoyance.
