Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Art Style is pleasant and looks something similar to Warcraft 3 or Heroes of the Storm.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay can be truly engaging, especially on Veteran difficulty when you’re trying to complete a map perfectly.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The maps and campaign have a good length, there are different difficulties to choose from and I love the fact that you can rewind to past waves.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
What’s less tight is the game’s optimization: even with a high-end rig, you’ll find that the resource usage is unreasonably high for the number and complexity of assets onscreen.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Pros: Cute art style, decent soundtrack, and 12-20 hours of gameplay if you play through once depending on how familiar with Tower Defence and Strategy you are.
