May 2025
As a Tower Defense games lover, i liked this game. it has some grind that you need to do to ace all achievements. but the game is short and fun on its own. Unfortunately, you cant get 100% achievement due to the developers shutting down the servers so you cant get the endless achievement... was a good run for me through.

Damn fun game, requires some grind for the hardest maps and challenges. Unfortunately there is no successor and also no map editor but still a great Tower/hero defense mix.

The server is down so no more PvP, Co-op or Endless modes. It's a tower defense game whether you deploy (and move) up to 5 heroes to defeat waves of enemies. Worth it on a deep sale.

Bardbarian You play as Brad the barbarian, who is awoken to the sounds of his town under siege. Today is different though; Brad has grown tired of fighting all the time. The usual grind for XP has grown dull, and he has decided to pursue his dreams of making music instead of shedding blood.
