I recommend this game, with some caveats. It's fun and I enjoy it, there's just not much depth or content, especially at the full price (I paid around $12 for it, a better price would be about $3 in its current state). Most of the upgrades are just % increases to different abilities, and many of the upgrades or characters are so clearly bad they're not worth considering (for example, upgrades to commander health or the class that uses money for meh abilities... it's so junk I forgot the name of it). Many of the tech tree perks don't really do anything except allow new upgrades at the market, or give miniscule stat bonuses. It really needs more decisions that feel like they change or impact the game in meaningful and interesting ways. It could also use a campaign mode or something, where different planets impact the towers and demons differently. Overall, I did enjoy my time with it and hope more content and interesting decisions will be added.

Really good game that pays homage to old-school tower defense while mixing in modern rogue-lite trends. Very fun and look forward to future updates!

A really fun tower defense game, it take the mapping layouts of Rogue Tower and the art style of Into The Breach and blends them in a really nice mix. I do like the progression and upgrades in this game waayyy more than Rogue Tower though. Upgrades feel like they actually do something (duh. but if you don't understand how upgrades in Rogue Tower works, they are miniscule) so a real upgrade is always nice. A few different characters drastically changes the way you play too, giving more replay value since its not just the same build every time.

I put a lot of time into the demo and this was something I just could not wait to be released. This is probably one of the best tower defense games I have played in a long time, There is a fantastic variety of builds you can go with the towers and the commanders you can use and it will always have you experimenting. The meta progression feels good but some of the upgrades do not directly apply to the towers, you can only find them in the shop and it just feels weird. I do wish the meta progression went a bit deeper for the commanders as well. I cant wait to see what the rest of EA brings to this game.
