What players say

Players are split on this Tower Defense game. Many praise its unique barracks-and-hero system and nostalgic value as a Flash game, but a loud camp points out a terrible UI ported from mobile with no keyboard shortcuts, erratic difficulty spikes that force grinding or buying consumables, and balance issues where melee units feel useless.
