Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of frustration and enjoyment, with some mechanics feeling counterproductive and poorly explained, particularly the corruption system, which can lead to abrupt failures. While the game offers engaging tower defense elements and a wealth of content, repetitive actions and unclear mechanics detract from the overall experience. Players appreciate the potential and interesting powers but express concern over certain mechanics that can disrupt the flow of gameplay.
“Addictingly fun with good mechanics that scratch that tower defense itch.”
“The powers are interesting, and I like it when I unlock something new and have a cool mechanic to play with.”
“Certainly a ton more content here and interesting mechanics than Rogue Tower, and clearly made by a dev who actually understands game design.”
“The mechanics work against the player instead of making the game fun.”
“The way to gain mana or 'close gates' to win a map is to simply place a cheap building on every mana source that opens up, so this game mechanic also has no options and no effect on the game, just an annoying action you need to repeat.”
“I did have one problem about how they presented corruption as a game mechanic, which they basically didn't tell you at all... which is really bad because corruption can spiral out of control really quickly and basically end your run.”

The graphics in "Gods of Defense" are praised for their high quality, particularly the impressive mortar explosions and the visual effects on enemies. The art style and aesthetic choices contribute to the game's appeal, helping it stand out in its genre while enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
“Graphics are great (not a line I have ever used before) - I particularly like the high-end mortar explosions and the smoking enemies after they are hit by fire.”
“Gods of Defense has great potential; the core loop is fun and the art style, alongside aesthetic choices, helps it stand out in its niche genre. It can keep you focused, and the upgrades are basic enough during runs that you don't need to think back and ask if you've even got poison to add max from 50 to 80.”
“The graphics and play style resemble Rogue Tower, but it has a different theme as the title suggests.”
