A wonderful little game! Relatively lightweight install, fun characters, lighthearted take on tower defense. I like the large number of unlockable characters (each of whom has their own strengths and some of whom SIGNIFICANTLY change gameplay) and the large collection of upgrade options that let you experiment with a huge range of play strategies. I've put two or three hours into it and consider it WELL worth the $15 price tag; I'm having a lot of fun and I'm only three characters in.
A couple notes:
--There IS (some) saving in the game- you can pause an ongoing run, close the game, and return to it later. What you can't do is return to an older run (you can't have more than one active run at a time, and starting a new game removes an existing save.) Progress in a run is dynamic, by which I mean the only save point is the last one. Each save overwrites the previous one.
--If playing the game on keyboard/mouse, the controls take a little getting used to (although that might just be my unfamiliarity with top-down FPS games).
--Many of the cahracters unlock only after you pass certain milestones in a single run, but not all of them! Some (to my relief!) unlock after cumulaive, multi-run milestones.
The only thing I miss is an offline "High Scores" list; I'd love to be able to compare my runs to each other over time, not just to the whole community's scores.
All told, I'm happy with this game and I'm looking forward to seeing more titles by the developer. If you're uncertain whether this game is for you, I would definitely recommend looking up streaming videos; I know the Loading Ready Run
crew did a streamed ~six hour playthrough on opening night (which is what prompted me to buy the game) and there are probably others by now.
Happy gaming!
