The graphics are generally considered acceptable, with individual elements appearing fine upon close inspection, but lacking a cohesive style and polish when viewed as a whole. While the art features appealing moving statues of Greek deities, the color scheme could use improvement, and the game struggles with optimization at higher settings, leading to performance issues during gameplay. Overall, it falls short compared to more polished tower defense games from larger development teams.
“The art style is appealing with moving statues of Greek gods and goddesses, although the color scheme could use some improvement.”
“For a tower defense game, the graphics are decent.”
“The graphics look good, even on low settings, but the high settings are designed to run well on a GTX 1060.”
“Although the visuals are fine upon close inspection of each item individually, when viewed from the top, it lacks a defined style and proper polish in events.”
“For a tower defense game, the graphics are okay.”
“The game is poorly optimized at higher graphics settings due to all the effects.”

The game's story is not a primary focus, featuring a common theme that connects the missions, but it lacks depth and engagement. Players note that while the flexibility in gameplay is a positive aspect, the narrative itself is unremarkable, which is typical for tower defense games.
“The bright and positive side is path and mission flexibility on variable tower placement and underlying bonuses!”
“The story itself isn’t the main focus of the game.”
“The missions are strung together with a common theme, but it isn’t exactly the most interesting story I have heard.”
“Mind you, tower defense games are not usually about the story anyway; that’s more of a role-playing game or visual novel thing.”

The game's stability has been criticized for its numerous bugs and glitches, including soft-freezes and performance issues, particularly on the Steam port. Users have reported that the programming feels rushed, leading to a less polished experience with UI design and asset quality also being points of concern. Overall, while players appreciate the game, they acknowledge significant stability issues that detract from the experience.
“The Steam port is a little buggy, and the UI could use some work, but I was happy to buy the game to support a game I've sunk literally thousands of hours into.”
“With that in mind, you can't overlook a few of the flaws it has, such as some really weird soft-freezes, performance issues, bad quality assets, and arguably poor design choices when it comes to the UI and other aspects.”
“The game is a bit buggy right now with odd things happening virtually every time I play it.”

The music in the game is described as unremarkable but fitting for the genre, which does not require an elaborate soundtrack. While it may lack the grandeur of other tower defense games, it serves its purpose adequately given the game's smaller development team.
“The music isn’t anything special, but it suits the genre, which isn’t one that needs an epic soundtrack to accompany it.”
“The music isn’t anything special either, but it suits the genre, which isn’t one that needs an epic soundtrack to accompany it.”
“Sure, there are other far more glamorous tower defense games out there with far better stories, more beautiful graphics, and a full supporting soundtrack, but those are all made by huge teams of professional developers, and that isn’t the case here.”

The gameplay introduces a new "u gateway" mechanic that adds fun and complexity, enhancing the overall experience. However, while the multiplayer aspect is engaging, it falls short compared to the more enjoyable mechanics found in other modes like challenge mode and entropy td.
“There is a new complication - this U Gateway thing - and it introduces brand new mechanics, and I think it's fun :)”
“It is, however, a good game in the sense of the gameplay.”
“The multiplayer, although interesting, lacks some of the fun mechanics with bonus fields that are in Entropy TD and the game's challenge mode.”

“The worst and most detrimental part is GPU overloading for no obvious reason, along with a lack of and poor optimization.”
“You can't overlook some of the flaws it has, such as weird soft-freezes, performance issues, bad quality assets, and arguably poor design choices regarding the UI.”
“The game is poorly optimized at higher graphics settings due to the excessive effects.”
