  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is criticized for its lack of variety and depth, with players feeling that the tower options become obsolete and the core mechanics are dated and repetitive. While some appreciate the meaningful upgrades and strategic combinations of towers, many express a desire for more dynamic elements, such as a better skill tree, diverse enemy types, and engaging challenges. The introduction of an endless mode has slowed down the gameplay loop, making it feel more tedious and grind-heavy.

    • “Gameplay is good, upgrades are meaningful and necessary, and you need a good combination of towers.”
    • “The progression loop is simple, satisfying, and features just the right mix of strategy and chill gameplay.”
    • “I would prefer less tower options and more dynamic gameplay; it feels like most of the towers are just obsolete.”
    • “There is no play style as the best thing you can do is placing one of every type of tower in the same order, and the span of time you have even aiming for specific tower upgrades lasts maybe an hour of gameplay before you have everything except the crit chance/damage upgrades that cost a limb.”
    • “My main problem is that it is not a true idler/incremental; things are hard capped so you have to 'play', except that the actual tower defense gameplay is dated and barebones.”
    • “There has now been an endless mode added, but upgrade costs in general have been increased in an effort to lengthen total gameplay, I assume. Between this and the fact that endless mode is only post-game, the core gameplay loop has been slowed down and arguably become more boring. You'll have to repeat maps in the exact same way to grind for even more resources than before.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding in this game excessive and tedious, with many expressing frustration over the slow pace and lack of meaningful progression. While some acknowledge that a degree of grinding is typical in tower defense games, the overwhelming sentiment is that this title requires too much effort for insufficient rewards, leading to a diminished enjoyment of the gameplay.

    • “As someone who picked this up thinking it would be a fun short game, 16 hours of grinding later and I just don't want to finish this anymore.”
    • “Although all tower defense games require grinding to get good, this one has too much of it.”
    • “It feels extremely slow and tedious, feels horribly unbalanced, my towers don't feel useful, their upgrades don't seem to do anything against boss enemies, and the relics don't seem that powerful.”
