This is a weird review The game designer in me loves this. The systems are awesome, the resources and how to collect them are great, the aesthetic is minimalistic but polished, the game can be played in quick bursts. The player in me hates this. Grind-style Incremental games are really annoying, as I hate spending thousands to millions of a resource for 0.1% more of some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Grinding and replaying "the same level" with multiple goals is annoying - I'm not a completionist. The above two paragraphs are literally dichotomies. I don't think I've ever ran into a game that equally balanced the scales for me. I would usually find something that I appreciate in both design and play, but for this game, I don't know man. Other kinda random thoughts [*]Despite advertising an "incremental" genre, there's very low content depth [*]I'd put this game at 5$, not 7$ [*]Grind-style Incremental games are not my jam. I prefer Scale-style Incremental. [*]Reached end game in about 3 hours. Fell asleep for 3 hours (during demo, Steam hours is incorrect). [*]I don't know if I'll play it again. [*]I experimented a little bit, and saw 80% of what this game can offer [*]Music is fantastic but only during bosses or endgame. Wish the normal music was awesome too. [*]I'm not a fan of the disorganized skill tree. Made it challenging to track nodes in a macro scale. [*]That said, there was good quality of life features to make it easy to track nodes in a micro scale. [*]The demo made it seem like there was a lot more to the game, only for there to be one more new feature. But I actually still recommend the game. The designer in me loves the systems and how they interact with each other; though the player in me wishes there was a lot more. I am hoping the devs find a way to appeal to turret defense players more. Mixing genres behind skill-walls can cause players of either genre to lose enjoyment. I immediately felt the incremental part of the game during the demo and wasn't sure if I wanted to buy it. But as I played through the demo, interesting stuff kept getting unlocked and I was sold. Then I bought the game, played like two more levels, and realized there was no more interesting stuff. That felt bad. I've never thought I'd say that I feel scammed from a Demo. I hope to see more content.

short game but fun, the levels aren't easy, but if you want to do like me, and listen to some podcasts or videos while playing, then this type of game is the right one. Now, I'm in the mood to play more tower defense games hahaha

Its good/okay, the first hour is great but the game is kinda mislabelling itself as an incremental. You're meant to pretty frequently change up your build based on what enemies/challenges the game wants you to do instead of just making numbers go up. some of the lategame levels and challenges are looking for pretty damn specific solutions (maybe theyre better now, some of the prestige levels got nerfed) all in all its good and i do recommend it but if you want a traditional incremental game look elsewhere

There are only 10 stages, but you will have to replay them many times before you either find the exact build that works or grind enough upgrades to brute force them. Each stage also has multiple challenges and a post game hard mode, so there's actually quite a bit of content if you're a completionist. Probably not for the casual TD players who just like to smash through levels with whatever they like.

This game is a bit short. There are 10 levels - I would have preferred twice that; there were enough "legs" in the build diversity it would have definitely been possible. I cleared it in 4 hours no problem, and the endgame challenges aren't really worth going back for. If you pick it up on sale, though - it's an excellent tower defense.
