What players say
Players describe it as a faithful modern take on the classic Warcraft III Element TD, praising the deep seven-element upgrade system that creates over 190 distinct towers. The single-player offers varied modes and map editing, but multiplayer is widely reported as non-functional. Reviews consistently note it runs poorly even on strong hardware, while the $20 price tag earns pushback.
