The gameplay features a mix of brawling and traditional tower defense mechanics, which some players find enjoyable and well-balanced. However, there are criticisms regarding repetitive elements and a reliance on sacrificing barriers, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these issues, many users appreciate the solid mechanics and value for the price.
“Gameplay is all there and everything works well.”
“It's a fun (and balanced!) blend between brawling yourself and typical tower defense mechanics.”
“The gameplay is solid and it's a good workout too if you get into the fray and don't rely as heavily on the towers. Overall, I give it a 9/10 for the price and game quality in its current state.”
