What players say
Soild game, soild and fair pricing, good difficulty, lots of replay ability with the different race/build system. Very few bugs and issues. Base game regularly goes on 75% sale, and the DLC for about ~40%. Higher quality then most AAA studios and their 120-200euro/usd titles. If you get upset from losing every once in a while with extra difficultys from the DLC this is not for you.

I'm a fan of the turn based genre and I love this game. It's easy to pick up and learn the basics and also easy to put down when needed. There's over 19 weapon variations to choose from and they determine how the character is played and most of the skills they have. The overall strategies used to defend your village don't vary much but there is a lot of variation within those core strategies that will keep you...
One of my favorite games; quick roguelike sessions with tactics and rpg upgrades
