gameplay
20 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is characterized by a variety of towers and unique levels, enhanced by a skill upgrade tree that keeps the experience engaging and non-repetitive. While the cute art and animations are praised, some players find the soul mechanic limiting and the tower costs high, which detracts from hero and tower selection. Overall, the game offers fun and addictive mechanics, particularly with the ability to move towers, but lacks depth in hero variation and could benefit from more diverse gameplay elements.
“It has a variety of towers and a bunch of unique levels, with a neat skill upgrade tree and addicting gameplay that doesn't feel repetitive.”
“The game is cute and the visuals are stunning with 2.5D Touhou characters, and as for the gameplay, it features really neat movements and is really fun and addictive to play with high replay value.”
“The moving towers mechanic is cool too, really makes it stand out from other tower defense games.”
“The soul mechanic also has its flaws; hence why Youmu is basically required.”
“The soul mechanic: towers get more expensive as you buy them (Celestial Trial), and in Trial of Courage, the cost of a tower is already expensive (500 for one tower, plus upgrades). The extra limitations make little sense and just aren't needed, in my opinion.”
“Soul mechanic: this is also one of the worse sins; it heavily limits hero selection and tower selection as well.”
