The game takes inspiration from games such as Kingdom Rush games in its approach to the Tower Defense genre. The only thing this game really brings to the table is that it an anime style with cute girls, and thats enough of a change for me.

So I'm just 3 hours in roughly. And I noticed theirs no reviews so I'll post my thoughts I'll probably come back and edit this properly later with a more well thought out review. But my first impressions? It's kingdom rush but like 10x better. I never got hooked on kingdom rush but this game takes that formula and amps it up 10x. Theres a lot more to do as the rounds are going on. All things considered even on normal difficulty theres a good amount of mid round management to keep you busy and the game isn't to punishing if you suck at that with 15-20 lives on every gamemode. The main thing I think shines here is graphic design though and I don't say that because of cute girls. I say that because it makes this game "feel" so good. a lotta gamefeel is visual and audio and this game nails it in a way I haven't really seen from most tower defenses. I especially like the hero abilities that are a targeted strike on a small area they are soooo punchy I love using them. Theres also a lotta meta progression, it's simplistic admittedly but I don't really have to big a problem with that. But towers have a general skill tree with like 3 points for each tower (Not much room for build crafting because of that admitedly) and heros have a slightly more interesting skill tree where you can upgrade their 3 main abilities with points and choose how far to invest in upgrading one skill compared to others. The levels also ooze charm everyone seems to either be full of small easter eggs or a gimmick specific to the level, it's basically btd6 style gimmick and easter egg level design but done on almost every level. Now normally this is where I would include my problems with the game but I'm only 3 hours in and genuinely have none so far I'll come back when I eventually find some gripes with this game just to keep the review more fair then mindless praise but for now the first impression is VERY strong. - Post Completion Edit - So I just finished the game. beat everything on hard mode and did every challenge, took about 17 hours. I guess long story short do I have any gripes, yes but very very few most is small polish related things rather then actual serious issues, for instance theres a fire tower but when buying a tower a different tower group uses fire as its sprite causes me to get confused and buy the wrong type of tower. This wouldn't be to annoying but for some reason you can't sell a tower instantly after buying it, you need to walk away and walk back to the shrine where you buy/sell towers for some reason. Pretty much all of my complaints are stuff like this, and even then there aren't many cases what i listed is by far the most annoying examples but its no where close to deal breaker for me. The game is just incredibly polished and addicting to play, the progression feels good and satisfying to which is really nice. It's based off kingdom rush but the design philosophy itself from the meta progression to the active gameplay requiring you to pay attention start to finish feel much more like plants vs zombies to me then kingdom rush. It's definitely its own twist on the genere then either of those two but if you like one of them i could easily see you liking this. It's an easy recommend for me, probably the biggest hidden gem i own right now unless this catches on in the coming months.

This game is great so far! It's like a cross of Kingdom Rush and Touhou Monster TD, taking the most game-defining aspects of these two games and joining them together. Only issue is that the graphics/sprites look crunched and a bit messy on windowed mode.

Has a bestiary, officially better than Kingdom Rush. Edit: So this game has UNLOCKABLE TOWER VARIANTS for completing challenge mode levels, actual rewards for optional content. Kingdom Rush could never.

It's an extremely fun and creative twist on the Tower Defense genre. You're an active on the field commander, able to pick up and reposition towers on the fly, and have numerous stage hazards that make the threats as much of a puzzle to use the environment to your advantage as well as bringing the proper strategy. Both towers and enemies have a variety of strategies, tactics, and nuances that make crafting your strategy incredibly fun. The Hero system is really good for making your special tactic based on either the level's needs or what you prefer the most, such as having a super blocker unit. There's a decent variety of upgrades and forking paths for upgrades, along with a talent system to truly hyperspecialize. The boss battles get very creative and make use of the movement mechanic well. You have to avoid red, but it's your towers that need to be plunked out of danger and position themselves for combat. The art is amazing. It's pixel art greatness. So much cartoony love, expression, and variety to be found, especially with the clickable easter eggs like the beautiful woman sitting on a rock in the lake. There's also so many different difficulty modifiers, like special stages, challenge runs, and the ways to switch up how your towers work to deal with them. My favorites are the Challenge modes, giving you a lumpsum of gold, special conditions, and three brutal waves.
