gameplay5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeGameplay is criticized for lacking depth and innovation, with many mechanics feeling underdeveloped or unhelpful. The upgrade system is cumbersome and slow to access, while the basic tower options offer little new compared to existing tower defense games, leading to a repetitive experience. Overall, the game struggles to integrate engaging mechanics, resulting in a gameplay experience that feels uninspired and overly reliant on mobile game trends.
“The issue is that the ideas are not fleshed out or fall flat due to other mechanics within the game.”
“It takes a very long time to be able to use the upgrade system, and it is not super straightforward to continue unlocking items; often, they are barely or not even useful in your gameplay.”
“With a handful of basic towers that have behaviors you've seen dozens of times across other tower defense games, the surrounding mechanics really needed to bring something special to spice up the gameplay.”
