How it feels

A methodical, grid-based strategy game where you incrementally assemble a defense system through randomized upgrades, feeling patient and analytical rather than frantic.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of rogue-lite upgrades and tower defense strategy, but nearly all say the game is too short and easy once you have a few relics. Content runs out fast after the campaign, and the endless mode gets boring because tower upgrades are capped. Several note the Laser and Lightning towers are overpowered.
