The game offers some replayability through strategic decision-making regarding upgrades and price reductions, but overall, it is considered limited. Players express frustration over needing to unlock levels before accessing them in non-campaign mode, which detracts from the replay experience.
“If you want to play optimally, deciding when to buy the various price reductions and similar upgrades can be a non-obvious decision that contributes to replay value.”
“Not too much replayability.”
“Shouldn't have to unlock levels before they are playable in non-campaign mode though.”
“If you want to play optimally, if and when to buy the various price reductions and similar upgrades can be a non-obvious decision that also contributes to replay value.”
