A deliberate, defensive strategy game focused on base-building and tactical decision-making under pressure.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the blend of tower defense and top-down shooting, but many say progression is poorly tuned, with steep difficulty spikes and only the starting character feeling viable. Complaints also target unfair enemy bullet tracking and restrictive building placement.
