How it feels

A contemplative sci-fi tower defense where you meticulously design and tweak each tower's behavior to fend off relentless robotic hordes.

What players say

Players praise the deep tower customization and dark, mysterious story, but many note the game is very short with only two chapters and has not received updates, leading some to call it abandoned. Opinions split on whether it is a worthwhile early access game or a money grab.
