Gameplay is criticized for lacking depth and innovation, with basic tower mechanics that feel repetitive and uninspired. The upgrade system is cumbersome and slow to access, making item unlocking frustrating and often yielding little benefit. Overall, the game fails to introduce unique elements that could enhance the experience, resulting in a gameplay experience that feels flat and derivative.
“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 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.”
