Despite these issues, many players find the gameplay engaging and rewarding, especially with the strategic trade-offs between tower placement and upgrades.

- “Complex & challenging maps, great economy & upgrade mechanics.”
- “The gameplay is really unique from other tower defense games and has a ton of content if you get really into it.”

- “So much potential here, but dear god please completely rework the artifact system because it does not enhance the gameplay fantasy of different turret types and feels like they were randomly selected.”
- “The bent maps feel weird to navigate and keep a good overview, although I absolutely understand the gameplay mechanics with this; it's just another thing that is simply unpleasant to deal with even if it makes sense for the gameplay.”

TTK, etc.) so I can use that to increase the efficacy of my maze building—I'm always trying to get to a new personal best, whether solo or with a friend.”
