The gameplay is characterized by a unique tower defense mechanic that allows players to move and level up their towers, creating a dynamic and engaging experience. Players appreciate the blend of strategy and action, with the ability to shift tower positions adding depth to the gameplay loop. While some users noted a desire for quality-of-life improvements, such as hotkeys for leveling, the overall consensus is that the gameplay is enjoyable and offers a fresh take on the genre.
- “This game can be a very big 'move your towers around' type defense game, which I haven't really experienced in this genre. I didn't expect to like it, but I was very pleased with how it played out gameplay-wise. It can be very smooth and slow or fast-paced depending on your towers.”
- “The gameplay is like Plants vs. Zombies, but you can switch the tower positions around and level them up.”
- “The main gameplay loop involves constantly moving your towers to prevent them from dying (since the towers are characters and respawn after some time), which is actually quite enjoyable once you have a strategy in place.”
- “I think it's still fun, just a different kind of fun. I quite liked the frantic leveling and lane-shifting gameplay in the previous version; just adding a hotkey for leveling would have really helped in terms of quality of life if the problem was that it was too hard to keep leveling and swapping all the time with a mouse.”
- “The main gameplay loop is basically moving around your towers constantly to prevent them from dying (because the towers are characters and they do respawn after some time), which is actually quite enjoyable once you have a strategy down.”

Character development in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the ease of leveling up through holocoins and the quality of character design.
