How it feels

You manage a chaotic mix of defending a town and guiding a hero through waves of enemies with a lighthearted, grindy feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the mix of tower defense and leader-follower combat, but many say the campaign is short and the game gets repetitive. Difficulty only appears at night stages, and there is only one map. Some find it overpriced at full cost and recommend waiting for a deep sale.
