What players say
I wish I could do a half thumb. It was fun, but it started to get too... stale towards the end. It was fun. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Great roguelike tower defense. Many mechanics feel unique, and the gameplay loop is engaging from start to finish. They are one of the few studios/devs who successfully pulled off an art change after early access, and did that by improving on what was already there while keeping its charm. The soundtrack is great, and it is fun to try the different classes and strategies. I really need to get back into it.
Great game, very fun, im having a weird audio bug where i cant hear any sound from the game and ive tried for like 3 hours and couldnt fix it though.
