- “Characters with funny personalities, entertaining chats, splashy gore effects, blood baths across each game, a selection of strategy and unique units to each hero, an emotion-gripping story, with a sense of foreboding... easy to master, yet I'm not gonna spoil the details, to each their own adventure, and I enjoyed every detail and chapter of it!”
- “Super tongue-in-cheek story is actually kinda fun and upbeat— it helps keep you going from level to level to see what ridiculous events will unfold next!”
- “The story itself is confusing and the ending was very unsatisfying.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the cute pixel art and nostalgic retro style, while others criticize the overall visual quality as low and amateurish, likening it to poorly executed MS Paint drawings. Many reviewers express a desire for improved graphics, suggesting that the simplistic 2D visuals detract from the overall experience, despite the game's enjoyable gameplay and humor.

- “The graphics are nice old school looking pixel-style.”
- “Game looks great, the art style is really funny and the gameplay is fun and simple to understand.”
- “The artwork here is terrible; it's a blend of old retro pixel 'art' used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS Paint style drawings I've ever hurt my eyes on.”
- “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to arrange someone who can do graphics properly, or lack of talent; regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”

- “The controls are (mostly) solid, and the music is fun without getting annoying.”

The gameplay is generally well-received for its unique blend of tower defense and real-time strategy elements, offering a fun and engaging experience that evolves over time.

- “Yes, because this game has potential; the gameplay was interesting, combining tower defense and tower offense.”
- “Weird balance, a bit of bad level design, and simplistic gameplay.”
- “The tower defense part of the game is only half (one could argue even less) of the gameplay, and the game doesn't do a particularly good job of telling you what the goal is for each level.”
- “Enemy units grow stronger at a high rate as time passes = incredibly stupid game mechanic in any game, even more so in a tower defense game => crap.”
