What players say
The best Standalone Tower Defense. I love the Meta Progression with all the things to do in the Town, this adds so much to a TD game. Graphics and atmosphere are really good. It has its own flair and mechanics. Its very good as a Solo Player game, but Coop with friends would be amazing. Can recommend it!
Great tower defense game. Good balance of difficulty. Resource building and strategy around tower enhancements make this to be replayed infinitely.
One of the greatest games I've ever played. Depth, variation, and chance; almost perfectly done.
