Steam reviews

What players say

Recent reviewers mostly advise against it: tournaments no longer run, the developer seems to have stopped supporting the game, and spending pressure is high.

Many players enjoy the tower defence core: collectible monster towers with distinct abilities, varied maps, and idle progression that rewards checking in and upgrading between sessions. Some find it a pleasant way to pass time, and a few praise it as free and not forcing purchases. Most recent reviews, however, centre on the tournaments that unlock upgrades, currency and achievements, which have stopped being run, leaving parts of the game locked. Many also say the developer has stopped updates and support since the game changed hands, while the store keeps offering purchases. Others criticise the grind, the slow progression designed to push spending, and the paid boosts. Steam's totals are far more positive than these reviews, which describe the picture from the last year.

Praised

  • Tower defence with depth

    Players like the varied monster towers, distinct abilities and different maps, which add strategy beyond watching numbers grow.

    Many players
  • Relaxed idle play

    Players like it as an easy game to leave running while doing other things or to pass time.

    Some players
  • Free to play, not pushy

    Players say it can be played without paying and that the store is easy to ignore.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Tournaments no longer run

    Tournaments that give upgrade currency, achievements and buffs are not started, locking parts of progression.

    Many players
  • No updates or support

    Players say the developer has stopped updating and supporting the game since it changed hands, so it feels abandoned.

    Many players
  • Grind and paid boosts

    Slow progression, timed bonuses and expensive purchases push players to pay, which many find unfair or tiring.

    Many players
  • Pay to win

    Paid currency packs and limited offers are said to give a clear advantage over players who do not spend.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to players who like tower defence and idle games and do not mind slow progress or spending little.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a full, supported game, since tournament progression is locked and updates have stopped.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours mostly describe the tournament shutdown and the lack of support as the main problems, while short-session players more often praise the easy idle play.
