What players say

Players are split on this tower defense game based on a book series. Fans of the books enjoy the tie-ins and controlling monsters, but many complain about the lack of a tutorial, no mob stats, friendly fire, and mobile-style controls. The campaign is short, around five hours, and success requires trial and error.
