  • story318 mentions

    The game's story is generally well-received, featuring a humorous and engaging narrative that is presented through charming comic-style dialogues. While some players appreciate the depth and uniqueness of the missions, others find the writing simplistic or overwhelming due to excessive text. Additionally, the integration of co-op and PvP missions into the story progression has been criticized for creating barriers to advancement, particularly in light of a low player base.

    • “The story and comics are well done, and at least mildly amusing, shattering the fourth wall at times.”
    • “The developers did a great job integrating a fun story with the TD genre.”
    • “The story mode proved to be confusing, although I appreciated the option to turn it off.”

    • “So I give up - I didn't like the mechanics so much anyway and the trash experience isn't worth my time.”
    • “This is a very bad game, bad looking 3D models, clumsy slow gameplay, completely boring towers, just endlessly bad, slow gameplay.”
    • “Not enough depth of gameplay to keep me interested.”

  • grinding46 mentions

Players express hope for future updates to address these concerns, as the current grind can make progression feel frustrating and repetitive.

    • “Game is fun but kind of grindy and there is lack of content. I hope the DLC will offer good content; otherwise, I am going to rethink purchasing any sequel of this game.”
    • “The mechanics of building a main HQ/base while going out to fight missions is nice, though the resource management and the subsequent replaying and grinding of missions for different resources is tiring and probably should have been rethought and polished up a bit.”

  • stability20 mentions

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent bugs and freezes, particularly during loading and dialogue sequences.

    • “Also, the best early access game I have ever bought; after 9 hours, it seems bug-free.”
    • “As for the bad things, I haven't seen anything horrible: the game still needs some balance, for sure, but it's not buggy or really unbalanced.”

  • replayability18 mentions

    Overall, the game offers a high degree of replayability through its diverse class system, skill trees, and multiple difficulty levels, which encourage experimentation and progression. While some players note limitations in gameplay approaches, the inclusion of co-op modes, challenge modes, and resource farming adds to its addictive nature.

    • “Good: solid skill tree & progression; lots of replayability via challenge/survival modes and multiple difficulty levels on each map.”
    • “Both the upgrades that permanently improve your units acquired via resources gained from completing missions, and the 3 unique skill trees into which you can invest points from leveling up add to this game's appeal and replayability.”
    • “There is some replayability in different difficulties that unlock after you beat a mission for the first time, but it's basically just restrictions combined with higher enemy health.”
    • “This limits the replayability massively, you can't experiment with different approaches because there basically is only one (spam towers).”
    • “It makes zero sense, they're not fun, and they're not replayable.”

  • optimization3 mentions

    The optimization of the game has been criticized for performance issues, poor translations, and design choices that detract from gameplay. Players have noted that these factors lead to sub-optimal tower performance, particularly affecting those with slower reload times and projectiles, while the overall experience feels reminiscent of a freemium mobile game.

    • “The optimization in this game is crucial; it significantly enhances the performance of your towers, preventing them from wasting projectiles and ensuring they operate at their full potential.”
    • “Effective optimization strategies can drastically improve your tower's efficiency, especially for those with longer reload times and slower projectiles.”
    • “Understanding the optimization mechanics is key to maximizing your tower's effectiveness and overall gameplay experience.”
    • “However, some players may find the performance issues, the bad translations, and the freemium-like features annoying.”
    • “This is highly inefficient and results in sub-optimal performance of your towers, since they often waste projectiles. This is especially brutal for towers with a 5-second reload time and very slow-moving projectiles, making them much weaker than towers with faster reload times and projectiles.”
    • “Many silly design choices, weird performance on high-end systems, bad translations, and the non-TD part feels like a freemium mobile game, which puts me off.”
  • character development1 mentions
