How it feels

A frantic card-driven lane defense where you scramble to upgrade quirky heroes against waves of undead.

What players say

Players compare it to Plants vs Zombies, saying it adds a rougelite mode and an evolution system for the towers. Many find the strategy solid but some say the game feels shallow and repetitive after a while, with a story that fails to carry the charm of its inspiration.
