Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
tl;dr: If you like tower-defense games, skilling, customisations and a little bit of grinding this should be your game.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've been playing this game for more than 40 hours now, most of the time with my mate in duo-coop mode and neither me nor my friend experienced any glitches or crashes.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Good variety of traps and their upgrades combined with trap-specific and other hero skills leave space for different playstyles, and the maps are different enough to prevent relying on same 2-3 trap types throughout the game.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It took me, alongside another player, around 40 hours to complete Deathtrap and gain a Perfect 3-star rating in each level, only possible on Hard difficulty.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Deathtrap has solid visuals, you can zoom in pretty close to the action and it still looks crisp and moody, although you'll find yourself playing through the majority of the game zoomed out as far as possible to get a bead on the bad guys as they march relentlessly onwards.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I found the campaign to be entertaining and the character combat to be fun...ish, The "Traps" are kinda simplistic and get a little repetitive after a while.
