How it feels
A strategic tower defense where you constantly juggle maintenance costs and adapt your defenses in real-time, with the ability to pause and rethink under pressure.

What players say
Players are split. Some enjoy the power-fantasy tower defense and the rogue-like tech tree, but many more complain about a lack of content, a buggy launch, locked resolution, repetitive maps, and a high price. The developer updated quickly to fix the resolution issue, but the game still feels half-finished.
