The story aspect of the game is centered around a campaign that offers various difficulties and RPG elements, allowing players to progress both during missions and through external upgrades. While the quests are straightforward, the inclusion of bosses, loot drops, and skill development adds depth to the gameplay experience, enabling players to revisit challenges with enhanced capabilities.
- “Great gameplay, a whole campaign to go through (and with several difficulties), RPG elements, bosses, extra loot drops that can be equipped on towers, skill paths to develop outside the missions, researching new towers at your base, etc.”
- “Which means there's not just in-mission progression, but also outside of them - so if you're having trouble clearing a specific mission, you can come back later after you've obtained new items, skills, or upgrades.”
- “The quests are rather simple, often just requiring you to 'complete level x'.”
- “The story lacks depth and fails to engage the player, making it feel more like a chore than an adventure.”
- “There is little to no character development, which makes it hard to care about the outcomes of the missions.”
