Champi features a unique and engaging theme, offering a fun twist on the tower defense genre with its quirky visuals and characters.
The game provides a solid foundation with a variety of towers, enemies, and a rewarding progression system that encourages strategic gameplay and experimentation.

Players have expressed a need for more levels and better balancing, as well as features like a catalog for towers and enemies to enhance strategic planning.
