What players say

Players are split on this multi-layered tower defense. Some enjoy the casual grind and art style reminiscent of flash games, but many warn that it is a mobile port infested with aggressive microtransactions, pop-up shop offers, and a pay-to-win battle pass. Negative reviews report a clunky UI, bugs, and a steep grind wall after about 40 hours.
