How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $7.49. That was March 2026. 31 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 34 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $9.74 at 35 percent off still sits 30 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 42 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Nordhold ($9.99, scores 65) beats it on value, while it beats Isle of Arrows ($7.79, scores 49).
14 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 35 percent of the 355 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
It's a bit odd and seems simple but can be pretty addictive if you like tower defense - it's pretty rng dependend but on the other hand that might be what makes it addictive.
Good game, heaps of replay value, dev's are inactive but it can also run with mods via manual installation or a mod manager (I use Thunderstore). The mods greatly improve quality of life; I would suggest getting; - Speed controls: Pause, 2x and 3x speed - Refund Upgrades: if you upgraded a tower accidentally or want to get the money back you can. - Better Pause Menu: Pause and quick restart. - Banish Cards: Remove...
Nerfed and made it feel like crap to play. I was really enjoying this my first few times then I played again recently and for no reason they destroyed the balance...
