Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For the price, depth of strategy, and replayability I give this a solid 7/10, and if you like tower defense it is a no-brainer to pick it up I believe.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty remains fairly consistent throughout, giving what seems like a paltry 14 stages a pretty beefy amount of playtime, as you'll likely need a few tries to figure out a suitable plan for much of the levels.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The retro inspired graphics is decent and the further you progress the more towers and perks you can have and chose from.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully you can switch the default "retro" music for an alternate soundtrack consisting of some tracks from Sanctum and Sanctum 2, and it's significantly better.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I also like that it has used many of the enemies and towers from the Sanctum series and replaced the FPS factor with skill usage to incorporate that towers alone will not be enough.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is even more challenging than Sanctum 1 was (given in Sanctum 1, the weapons were pretty OP so you didn't need towers as much).
