How it feels

You play as a demonic villain strategically throwing monsters at waves of human defenses in VR.

What players say

Players compare it to Infectinator and a reversed Robotron, but the core monster placement mechanic gets mixed reactions: some find it works fine while others say dragging units near enemies feels unfun. Later levels expose poor turret targeting and a delay before enemies die.
