Reviews
- The game features a unique and challenging tower defense experience with fun levels and a good learning curve.
- Graphics are improved, and there are plenty of levels and heroes to choose from, making it engaging.
- Once players gain enough skill, the game becomes less grindy, allowing for a more enjoyable experience.
- The game suffers from usability issues, including poor controls on PC and the need for shortcuts for spells and unit selection.
- Certain stages require purchasing consumables to progress, which can be frustrating and feels like a pay-to-win mechanic.
- Progression can be slow due to fewer gems awarded from wins, forcing players to grind previous levels for upgrades.

Players express disappointment with the monetization strategy, wishing for some initial in-game currency as a courtesy for purchasing the game, and are concerned about potential microtransactions in the mobile version.
“It would be nice if they at least gave you some starting gold since I bought the game, and the phone version probably had microtransactions.”
“The monetization model feels exploitative, especially for a game that I paid full price for.”
“I can't believe how many features are locked behind paywalls; it ruins the experience.”
