Gameplay is marked by a confusing upgrade system where players use earned gems to enhance weapon mechanics, but the process lacks clear explanations, leaving users uncertain about the impact of their choices. The ability to change mechanics at any time adds flexibility, yet the overall mechanics of upgrading remain unclear and may require extended play to fully understand.
“Apparently you can change the mechanics at any time as well.”
“...upgrade towers by upgrading gears (mechanics) in towers.”
“The most confusing feature was using the gems you earned to improve the mechanics of the weapons, which, in my opinion, was poorly explained.”
“You choose which weapon you want to improve and then you click and drag the mechanic piece to the bottom matching slot. At that point, I'm not really sure what this does for your weapon, because nothing seems to change.”
“Apparently, you can change the mechanics at any time as well.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered mediocre, with many users noting their simplicity and lack of detail compared to higher-quality titles like Defense Grid: The Awakening. While some appreciate the steampunk atmosphere, overall feedback indicates that the visuals are bland and not particularly impressive.
“I tend to be a visual person and like great graphics such as Defense Grid: The Awakening.”
“The tower defense itself is decent, basic, on the easy side with harsh sound effects and bland graphics.”
“This is a very mediocre tower defense game; the graphics are very poor.”
“Although the graphics and animations in Defense of Greece are rather simplistic and not on par with Defense Grid, it more than makes up for it in the awesome steampunk atmosphere!”

The story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing the importance of not giving up. While the narrative includes various quests and a time management feature, it suffers from grammatical errors that detract from the overall experience.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“The storyline is filled with grammatical errors.”
“You receive quests from different people, and they also tried to add a time management feature where you can click to cut down trees, which earns you silver coins.”
“Decent story.”
