Visually appealing with polished UI and satisfying mechanics, including a fun card drawing system and progression elements.
Great value for the price, providing hours of challenging gameplay that appeals to tower defense fans, especially those who enjoy roguelike elements.

Limited tower options and a lack of visibility on tower costs can lead to decision paralysis and reduce player agency.
The game can be overly difficult, especially in normal mode, making it hard to gain momentum and progress.
Some bugs and issues with the targeting system and map generation can detract from the overall experience, indicating a need for further refinement.
