The gameplay is currently hindered by a confusing user interface and poorly designed spawn mechanics, making navigation frustrating for players. While the game has a solid concept and appealing graphics, it suffers from a lack of clarity regarding costs and buildable units, leading to a gameplay experience that feels overly complicated and unbalanced, particularly favoring aggressive strategies. Improvements are needed, especially in HUD information and achievement functionality, to enhance overall enjoyment.
“All of these mechanics incentivize a rushdown strategy and punish attempts to play defensively (which is ironic since there is a survival mode).”
“There are several ways I feel the main gameplay could be improved.”
“In its current state, it's playable but the user interface is not user-friendly; the spawn mechanics (i.e. spawn types tied to different keys and no cost display) feel like a hassle to navigate, which makes it more frustrating than fun.”
“It is a great concept, beautiful graphics, but the gameplay needs some work.”
“It doesn't even tell you how much a tower costs and overall the gameplay is very bad.”
