How it feels

A straightforward action-strategy game where you defend a city against waves of enemies.

What players say

Players say the game is fun at first but becomes highly repetitive after a few hours, with missions that drag on for 4+ hours and no way to save mid-mission. The merge mechanic for troops and buildings is praised, and some enjoy the permanent bonus system enough to get all achievements, though others note the game becomes trivially easy once you unlock all upgrades.
