What players say

Players enjoy designing dungeon paths with tiles and cards, calling it a strategic twist on tower defense. Many warn the mid-to-late game causes eye strain from clutter and tedious trap rearming. Sentiment is split on the card system: some find it refreshing, others say it adds pointless randomness. Community praises the devs' fast feedback response but worries about long-term support.
