How it feels

Playing feels like coordinating class-based defense and shooting in a sci-fi Viking realm, balancing tactical tower placement with action combat.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a fun action-tower-defense hybrid reminiscent of Orcs Must Die!, with four classes, varied Norse-themed maps, and satisfying combat in co-op or solo. Some find enemies bullet-spongey and note the game feels generic or unfinished, with no updates since June 2024.
