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.

Pretty fun game but do not expect to 100% it. Very sweaty endgame. Going cross-eyed from planting 10,000 cactuses and then still not beating the level is what it looks like. Edit: Since this review is getting more attention I feel like I have to say this game is pretty awesome! Updated all the time, devs are pretty cool, custom engine, runs on a potato, and the vibes are chill (of course until endgame), Lots of strategies to try out. Absolutely worth a buy at full price and a missed opportunity on sale.

This is a very good tower defense game. I was hoping it was just like sunken defense... it's not, but that's okay. Roguelike elements require you to balance growing your economy and army at the same time. Sometimes you can feel a dud run coming, especially if you picked a starting class that might not great for the biome you picked. You can always restart/re-roll. Yes, you can control the path of your enemies.... but not in the same capacity you would funnel your enemies in sunken defense. Would recommend even at full price.

This game is a one of a kind roguelite/tower defense. At first, I didn't really understand how to utilize what was given to me in the shop. I also didn't know how to build a strong economy. After 58 hours (at the time of this review) I'm still learning new ways to get into 25+ rounds. The daily challenge is my favorite part, it's legit a puzzle you have to solve everyday to compete for a spot on the leaderboard. This game is a 10/10 in my book. Devs are active. Buy this game if you like roguelite/tower defense and give yourself time to learn how to play this masterpiece.

Several things that stand out and might help you decide on a purchase: 1. It feels like a complete game. I think it's finished enough that even if development were to halt today, it'd still be worth it. 2. A sign of good game design is when there's multiple good strategies for taking care of a problem. I found myself using multiple techniques and varieties of tools to play, and I managed to beat the game using a variety of them all. There's probably a META out there but I found the game challenging enough to be fun and frustrating. 3. You'll know whether or not you want to refund it in less than 2 hours, so don't worry. The game's tutorial is only a few minutes long, and it's not super complex. If you wanted a letter grade I'd give it a B, maybe a B+. It's pretty good.
