Unique concept allowing players to be the 'evil' side in a tower defense/RTS hybrid.
Good visuals with impressive retro pixel art and fantastic chiptune music capturing a classic vibe.
Fast-paced gameplay with short levels making retrying less punishing; includes a roguelike mode adding replayability.

Steep and sometimes frustrating difficulty curve with some levels requiring very specific strategies and exact timing.
Lack of quality-of-life features such as convenient restart options and in-game settings adjustments.
Balancing issues including fragile core, confusing monster abilities, and difficulty spikes that can feel unfair or repetitive.
