The gameplay has been criticized for its frustrating tower death mechanic, which requires players to frequently replace damaged units without adding meaningful strategic depth. While there are attempts to diversify the gameplay, many users find it tedious and lacking in challenge, leading to an overall boring experience despite the game's appealing atmosphere and graphics.
- “Implementation of creative game mechanics to offer more variety should be adopted also.”
- “The game feels like eating concrete in the gameplay part.”
- “The tower death mechanic needs either reworking or removal. Units you place will periodically take damage and be deleted if they reach 0 HP. This serves no real strategic challenge and is basically just an annoying time waster that requires you to replace 1/4 of your towers each wave over and over again. Nice attempt at diversifying gameplay in tower defense, but it just made me want to quit.”
- “Great atmosphere, nice graphics, boring gameplay.”
