My favorite part of TD maps on WC3 was making a crazy maze to funnel enemies past your towers efficiently. I had stared to wonder if I was one of the only ones because so many modern TDs either don't allow you to block the path or only let you build on specific nodes. This game does so much with the positioning of your towers(gnomes) it was so refreshing to see that again. There are a lot of interesting strategies to try, and the dev has done a good job adding more content. I at one point I 100%ed this though the dev has added enough that it's no longer the case.

This has become my only tower defense game. No others come close. If you are on the fence about this game, just get it. It takes inspiration from Vampire Survivors/Brotatoe and brings them into a tower defense game. My mind was blown. It is a tower defense game where your towers are gnomes. They each attack in different configurations at different rates. Then you get crops that are both your economy and how you can buff your gnomes (towers). Want them to attack faster, put down a coffee plant. Want them to hit harder, have greater range, etc. then there's likely a plant for it. There are also items that you can get that fundamentally change the way the game plays. Dead goblins now fertilize spots, gnomes fertilize the spot they were last at, gnomes can now live in barrels, etc. etc. etc. Easy purchase. Can't recommend enough.

Usually gotta drink about 3 bottles of Benadryl before seeing the Gnomes. This game achieves that for much less. Gnome enjoyers of the world rejoice Very good TD game. Requires some smarts. Feels like a thinking man's PvZ, with similar laning, funnelling strategies at play, but with far more customisability. Graphics are lo-fi but sharp. Great soundtrack.

It's suprisingly hard to find a good tower defence, especially one with a focus on maze building (and that hasn't devolved into endless rehashes and DLCs). Great theme, easy to pick up and play even when you don't have a lot of time, a lot of variety, and free content updates. Just good fun, like a game should be.

This is one of the tighter and more thoughtful Tower Defense games I've played. Very minimalist and very clever. The ability to direct enemy waves using tile effects and the ability of enemy waves to affect the map as the game progresses are both interesting features. I bought it for something like $5 when it was on sale and it was well worth not only the dollar investment - which isn't particularly relevant for a working adult anymore - but rather, was worth the time investment in learning how to play the game, which is far more precious. It's enjoyable to pick up, play a few rounds, and then put down. It's satisfying to be able to enjoy a game in such a compact experience.
