What players think
The recurring themes across 71 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It's got a really solid foundation, 2D isometric twin stick shooter but with tower defence added in, topped off with an aesthetically pleasing retro CRT art style.
Road Defense: Outsiders is a compact yet thoughtfully designed indie title developed and published by Minicactus Games that blends tower defense fundamentals with roguelike progression and real-time action.
I originally however got this to play on the steam deck which works perfectly fine despite being untested, until you get to the 4th level, where the most enemies are then you're playing through a slide show which to my surprise didn't crash somehow but this was a bad experience so i switched to my PC Tower to finish.
