Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I guess long story short do I have any gripes, yes but very very few most is small polish related things rather then actual serious issues, for instance theres a fire tower but when buying a tower a different tower group uses fire as its sprite causes me to get confused and buy the wrong type of tower.
