The gameplay features innovative mechanics such as road building and tower deck management, complemented by a visually appealing art style and an engaging tech tree with rogue-like elements. However, some players feel that a specific unit disrupts the experience, making the game unplayable at times, which detracts from its overall potential. Despite this issue, the game is recommended for fans of tower defense and rogue-like genres.
“I really like the mechanic of building the road and a deck of towers.”
“Great potential, this game has so much potential, great art style, interesting tech tree with rogue-like mechanics.”
“If this unit could be turned on or off or somehow kept out of the core gameplay, I would recommend this game to any tower defense rogue player in a heartbeat.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game manageable and even enjoyable, as it allows for skill point accumulation and tactical refinement. While some grinding is necessary, particularly for crown farming and unlocking content, the variability in each run keeps the experience fresh.
“If you're crown farming for all the unlocks, it's best to stick to wave 75 and let yourself get overrun, or wave 100 once you gain access to dragons.”
“Grinding is necessary to get your skill points up, but it can feel repetitive and tedious over time.”
“The grinding aspect can become frustrating, especially when it feels like you're just doing the same thing over and over without any real progress.”
