How it feels

A methodical tower defense where you build and reinforce strongholds against endless hordes, with roguelite progression rewarding risk-taking.

What players say

Players say it's a decent start for a rogue-lite tower defense, but it feels unfinished. The grind to unlock towers is slow and there's only one map. Players also miss basic quality-of-life features like pausing between waves and controlling tower targeting.
