Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its combination of action RPG mechanics with strategy, survival, crafting, and tower defense creates an experience that constantly shifts between direct fighting and careful preparation.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sounds have 'oomph' (although I wish some of the ballistic weapons had 'snappier' sounds), and the voice acting is quite good.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game is fun, action is constant, and I'm looking forward to when they finally add CO-OP.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are great, and, on my end, runs fairly well (max settings, mostly running @ 60 fps, some weird dips here and there, and some big dips near the end, when the massive enemy waves hit; 8th gen i7, GTX1070, 16GB DDR4, Win10).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But the gameplay is really tight, the story is compelling enough, the basebuilding feels good, intuitive and fast, given that the game is top-down action, and the enemies are fun to fight.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Quite a lot of fun, a bit of a learning curve. looking forward to this during the summer sale.
