The gameplay of this auto-battler is characterized by its unique mechanics and fluid interactions, offering an enjoyable experience for newcomers and veterans alike. However, players note a lack of build variety and an over-reliance on RNG, which can make runs feel punishing and repetitive. While the game shows promise with its addictive loop and interesting tower designs, it currently requires balancing and additional content to enhance long-term engagement.
- “I found this game on my discovery queue and it had a unique charm to it. I am relatively new to auto-battler-type games, so I thought I'd check it out, and so far I have been enjoying myself. The towers and their interactions are unique, and the designs are interesting. I really enjoy the mechanic with artifacts and relics, and some combinations can create very strong combos.”
- “The gameplay is fluid and fun to watch.”
- “It's a really fun game with a unique mechanic. The towers are well-designed, and I like the simplicity of the art and overall presentation.”
- “On the one hand, it has very minimalistic management mechanics compared to others: there's no reserve, you can't move towers, tower removal is at a steep premium, and towers have very rigid and specific positioning requirements.”
- “The mechanics aren't leveling up enough, or there isn't enough mana to go around because I almost never have a winning board unless I get extremely lucky with a glutton demon, rations tower, the fryer and cookpot combo, and succubus consuming glitch.”
- “The game is interesting at first, but grows stale quickly; some game mechanics like malicious towers don't feel usable at all.”
