Visually, frontiers keeps the cartoonish art style of the original but I feel like it has a lot more diversity and personality compared to the first with the biomes feeling really unique.

12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It keeps the same simple but satisfying foundation of building towers, upgrading paths, using reinforcements, and timing area damage spells, but the campaign feels bigger, faster, and more adventurous.

The sound design is pretty good once again and fits the game well.
