What players say

meh annoying mechanics with prefab assets. Not a bad game (not worth the full asking price) Gets boring quick. Not my genre.

Game is alright. Got it for under $2. Doesn't feel like its worth the full price though. Overall mechanics are pretty good and it can be pretty fun for a time, but it gets really annoying with the drones and how little money you start with at each level.
Blue SparkNot recommendedafter 9.6hMar 2026Read on Steam
I love everything about this game. I'll be playing through again, don't let my current hours played make you think I'm done. I loved Orcs Must die, this has been a delightful tower defense with similar FPS action and fun maps. The tower choices were good and I felt like I could be creative as I planned out my build strategy for each map. It also made me work for it, but just the right amount of pressure to perform...
