  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game revolves around a classic tower defense premise, where players must stop waves of enemies from destroying their crystals. While players can afford to lose some crystals initially, the ultimate goal is to protect the main crystal from destruction to succeed in their mission.
