    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and offers a mix of familiar horde/survival mechanics with some unique features, such as customizable difficulty levels and innovative elements like harvesting.

    • “A truly well-made product, captivating and compelling gameplay that poses a solid challenge to the player, encouraging them to continue and try again, so as to unlock all the upgrades not available immediately.”
    • “If, like me, you're a disaster at this kind of game, you can easily set your own difficulty level and enjoy the gameplay without going crazy over hordes of impossible enemies. On the contrary, you can raise the difficulty level and create the worst challenge you can think of - it's up to you, which is something very few games offer nowadays when 'git gud' seems to be the only option.”

    • “[*] levels are too repetitive, there are no interesting mechanics like traps or environment.”
