How it feels

You pick a scrappy, flawed hero and frantically fight demonic hordes in a hand-drawn, isometric city, knowing one mistake means permadeath and a grimly comedic reset.

What players say

Players enjoy this superhero-themed survivor-like that adds tower defense and a stationary NPC to protect. They praise the variety of heroes and upgrades, but note the first eight hours are a grind and some weapons feel unusable. Opinions split on the UI and hitboxes.
