TL;DR: (fun Tower-defense game with co-op, nice visuals, nice story and characters, major technical issue (crashing frequently), recommend if you can avoid the crashing issues)

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Ambient noises added to the atmosphere, soundtrack was great, and I even enjoyed the little grunts characters would make during dialogue on occasion.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
the game is probably fine when your playing co-op, and sometime in the future i'll may pick up this game again. maybe even poke on of my friends to join me (hopefully multiplayer isn't locked only on local servers). so this review may changed in the future.
