Repel The Rifts combines tower defense fundamentals with roguelite progression, creating a game where surviving enemy waves is only part of the challenge.

I'm 7 hours in and have beaten max difficulty with each character quite easily.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Beyond that, the pixel art style is nice, the game is (as I said) challenging enough (though more enemy types or even variants for various maps would be nice to see), and it's satisfying as a tower defense game, but it's not currently in a state that will make you drop a ton of time into it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
