Reviews
- The game features polished visuals and solid execution of a strategic card-based gameplay, making it enjoyable to summon creatures and engage in battles.
- It offers a unique VR experience that allows players to immerse themselves in the action, with a good variety of spells to unlock and upgrade.
- Despite its current limitations, the game has potential for growth and provides hours of fun, especially for fans of similar card games like Clash Royale.
- The game feels abandoned by developers, with no updates since early 2018, leading to concerns about its long-term viability.
- There is a lack of content, with only a small number of cards and creatures available, which limits gameplay variety and depth.
- The online community is tiny, making multiplayer experiences difficult to engage with, and the game often feels more like a flat-screen game rather than a fully immersive VR experience.

The gameplay is praised as one of the best in VR tower defense, featuring an engaging "god hand" mechanic for troop placement that enhances excitement. However, some users note a lack of depth and complexity, hoping for future updates to introduce more variation and content, such as new cards and abilities. Overall, the game is considered reasonably priced for the amount of gameplay it offers, especially as it is still in early access.
“By far the best tower defense game on VR at this point; gameplay is one of the best I have played, VR or not. I love this game.”
“There's also a mechanic that lets you sweep a 'god hand' across and switch placements of troops from one side to the next.”
“It makes you excited about the gameplay that's ahead.”
“It would be nice if the game offered an alternative turn switching gameplay so that it felt more like a card game.”
“My only major issue is a decided lack of depth, complexity, or variation in gameplay... but this is an early access title, so hopefully future content additions (new cards, new abilities, leveling, tech trees) expand gameplay significantly.”

Players highlight the replayability of the game through features like ranked modes and a challenging "hellmode," which encourage repeated play to improve skills and achieve higher rankings. These elements provide a compelling incentive for players to return and refine their strategies.
“The ranked mode adds a competitive edge that keeps me coming back for more, and the hell mode offers a thrilling challenge that makes each playthrough feel fresh.”
“With multiple difficulty levels and unique character builds, the replayability is off the charts; I find myself discovering new strategies every time I play.”
“The variety of game modes and the ability to customize my experience ensure that no two playthroughs are ever the same, making it incredibly engaging.”
“The game lacks meaningful choices, making replayability feel pointless.”
“Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to play again.”
“The limited variety in gameplay mechanics means that replaying the game feels more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
