73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics is classic, quick to learn and fun to play, with only 4 kind of towers but well made: each one has 2 o 3 specializations with 3 to 6 enhances, well depicted, different and usefull.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, the difficulty level escalates in an interesting progression, and most levels seem to introduce something new.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are nice, above the genre average, and backgrounds are decent, but drawings, as the own product cover and tutorial images, are quite ugly: there are a lot of worst products with much better cartoons.
