I've been obsessed with this game since picking it up. Probably one of the greatest tower defense games I've played, and I've been playing them since Desktop Tower Defense (real ones know). Even in early access, it's way more polished (and way more fun) than some fully released games I've had the displeasure of owning over the years. Get it now and get hype for 1.0.

I am palying video games for more than 20 years now. This is one of the best I have ever playered. The actual game loop is a Slay the Spire inspired tower defense game. In each run, you build up a deck of towers and blocks you can use on the maps. There are many different maps, whith interesting designs and different game mechanics. What is the most fun to me, is using all the different synergies the game offers between towers, maze layouts, power ups, etc. Highly recommend.

So.... I'm an Early Access junky. I love getting in early before games are too complex and discorded to death by the "elite" to where every fun thing is gone and the game looks like every other game out there like it. I don't write reviews until I have at least 100 hours into a game, and I have 357 in this title as of this typing exercise. This game is deceptively simple. It doesn't look like much, and it's cartoony vibe gives it an air of not so serious. When it first appeared, I thought I would never want to play it at all. After seeing a few vids of it, I started to notice it more, and then it went on sale, so I was bored one day and thought "why not". Very good decision, that was. Normally this is where I would give examples of the Good, the Bad, the Ugly and the Indifferent. But I don't need to do that here. It's all good. Seriously. Game is Dev'd gloriously. It is cared for. It is loved. The game is easy to look at and easy to play. Everything is easily accessible, easy to read, easy to use. The winning is easy too, at first. But then you find there are characters to play and flames to have that can really warp and mess with the mechanics in some very interesting and difficult ways. Difficulty is whatever you want it to be. Easy maps with hard characters or handicapped flames or any combo you want. Chill and have fun or challenge yourself, both are easily accessible. Then there's the chrono character for those that enjoy pain and getting themselves deaded repeatedly. If you have any tower defense love, play this. At the least it will be no worse than anything you have touched. At the best, you will find it just keeps nagging at you and sucking you back in. If you don't have tower defense love (...like me...), play this. This is a great introduction to the genre and just a plain bunch of fun to play. I have a few other of this type of game, and they wear on me and become chores after a time. This game does not. There's always something to mess with. It's already very good. It is going to get better as the Dev is now starting work on level 4 and all its boards, monsters and all its new mechanics. Honestly, so far this is one of the best EA's I have been a part of, and I have done many. Cheers..!

Got this game after watching Fauna playing it. Pretty good game I must say, although there's not a lot of content yet, and some towers might do with a buff or two, maybe a few more hours and those seemingly under-powered towers may shine.
