replayability2 negative mentions
  • Engaging gameplay loop blending tower defense, deck-building, and side-scrolling action with a unique strategic depth.
  • Fun and addictive incremental/roguelite elements with a variety of skills and classes that offer experimentation early on.
  • Reasonably priced with good value for casual and semi-idle play, suitable for passing time while doing other activities.
  • Lack of build variety and diversity especially in late/end game, leading to repetitive 'one meta' playstyle needed to succeed.
  • Progression and skill RNG can be frustrating, with balancing issues and some skills feeling weak or useless, impacting overall enjoyment.
  • Technical issues including bugs, game crashing, UI annoyances, and some poor design choices such as lack of save options and layout confusion.

    The gameplay offers a solid and engaging core loop that combines tower defense with strategic deck-building, appealing to players who enjoy experimenting with builds and upgrades. However, the reliance on a single dominant meta in late game, unclear combo mechanics, and some frustrating or random elements can detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, ongoing developer support and the automatic mechanics make it accessible and rewarding for those invested in its strategic depth.

    • “The core loop is fun, the mechanics are easy to understand, and the upgrades are interesting enough that I kept wanting to try different approaches.”
    • “Legacy of defense, developed and published by Enter the Game Studios, offers a fresh and invigorating take on the tower defense genre by seamlessly combining traditional defensive gameplay with strategic deck-building mechanics.”
    • “The core gameplay revolves around constructing a deck of cards that represent various skills, abilities, and upgrades, which players can then deploy in real time as waves of enemies advance.”
    • “I wish some gameplay elements were easier to understand and that more builds would be viable for pushing abyss levels.”
    • “The combos aren't really displayed as a tooltip and even when you go into the combo window, you have to discover the combos themselves. From a player perspective, players struggle to unlock these hidden combos. You can go through a single gameplay without ever completing one combo. When players struggle to complete a certain combo by compromising their gameplay, it can become depressing and frustrating, as players have to go out of their way to create this combo but it feels punishing rather than rewarding because the effects are not ideal.”
    • “At the early gameplay for players who just want to play a chill game, this issue can break or make a game that may cause players to refund even though the game is cheap.”

  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users appreciating the nostalgic and charming 2D art style that effectively creates an immersive fantasy atmosphere, while others feel the visuals could benefit from an update. Overall, the graphics are simple but contribute to a satisfying and engaging gameplay experience.

    • “Visually, Legacy of Defense impresses with its beautifully crafted 2D art style that captures the atmospheric tension of a fantasy world on the brink of collapse.”
    • “These graphical elements combine to create an immersive world that feels alive and reactive to the unfolding battle.”
    • “I'm really enjoying this game; it's simple yet complex and has continuous playability. I would love to see a graphics update—not too fancy—but I see this game having a lot of growing room!”
    • “Visuals are poor and detract from the overall experience.”
    • “I would love to see a graphics update; nothing too fancy but it feels outdated.”
    • “Graphics are adorable but lack detail and polish.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Replayability is enhanced by incorporating diverse paths, varying risks and rewards, and unique character abilities, which encourage players to experiment with different strategies and unlock new content, making each run feel fresh and engaging.

    • “This structure encourages replayability, inviting players to refine their decks and discover new ways to conquer the challenges ahead.”
    • “Something in the spirit of choosing different paths, risks, rewards, bosses, events, or modifiers would make runs feel less predictable and give the game more replay value.”
    • “I think it would make the game more playable if certain abilities were locked to certain characters.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is noted as potentially challenging and grindy, especially in later stages without an optimized build, but it offers an enjoyable experience through repetitive combat and farming collectibles.

    • “Great game, can be a bit grindy/hard in the later parts without a good build (curse you RNG), but a good time of lots of mindless killing lol.”
    • “Since then, I’ve been grinding collectibles and diving deep into Abyss 7 wizard runs.”

  • emotional

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users express strong excitement and satisfaction with the emotional experience of the game, appreciating the expanded skills, upgrade trees, and new character builds that enhance their engagement beyond the initial demo.
