The reviews indicate a significant lack of storyline in the game, with players noting that it feels like a stripped-down version of similar titles, such as Defense Grid. The absence of a compelling narrative and limited replay incentives detracts from the overall experience, leaving players wanting more depth and engagement in the story aspect.
“Some achievements, a storyline, a handful more levels and a nightmare mode, a speed up option, enemy bars, an option to directly restart the level in the pause menu... those could have made this an ultimate tower defense game, worth more money.”
“What is missing is a storyline.”
“As it stands, this is a very trimmed down copy of Defense Grid, with limited levels, no orbital skill, no story, and only 2 difficulty levels to maps.”
“Once a story mission is completed on each difficulty, there are no incentives to replay.”
