Invader TD offers a fun and engaging tower defense experience with well-balanced gameplay and a surprising mechanic that keeps players on their toes.
The graphics are pleasant with nice pixel art and parallax scrolling, complemented by a catchy and well-composed soundtrack.
For its low price, the game provides a decent amount of challenge and strategic depth, making it a worthwhile purchase for tower defense fans.

The game has a very short runtime, with some players completing it in under two hours, leading to concerns about content and replayability.
There are only a limited number of tower types and upgrade paths, which can make the gameplay feel simplistic and lacking in variety.
The game relies heavily on a single level and difficulty scaling, which may not provide enough challenge or engagement for players seeking a more extensive experience.

- “The game is pretty simple with 4-5 types of towers in 2D visuals. I'm not saying it's a bad game; in fact, I had a lot of fun, but it's a short game that took me only 1 hour to beat on easy mode, and that's it.”
