classic TD gameplay and roguelite randomness and some interesting resource mechanics, very good little game
Love this game, its very RNG, but definately beatable
You're either stuck with full-screen or windowed at full-screen resolution and unable to change it. Nice.

Unfortunately the game comes down to picking or re-rolling blueprints for a blue tower, no room for picking support blueprints - meaning unlocking the tech tree fully makes it harder in some cases. Playing mid Dec 2024 update. Good early access game tower defense. Beat it once before unlocking the complete tech tree. I found the pirate ship once and have never seen the wizard tower after unlock. The ax and bunker towers being a blue are not good and should be skipped. I'm giving it a recommend because clearly it can be really good and a lot of thought went into it. Also does it feel like the percent of actually success is off, having three 50 chance and failing all three then failing all three again with 60 chance doesn't seem right.
Strong concept, fun to play for hours. It's a bit short perhaps (of you don't keep dying like me), as I managed to complete the game before even unlocking all buildings in the techtree, but if anything this makes me hope for more content or even a part 2! :D Nice one, very good job
Very fun TD. I appreciate the rogue-lite elements that keep me from optimizing the fun out of the game (including noob trap mechanics to help you through the first stages). You get all the fun combos that feel like you're breaking the game periodically but each selection to build or upgrade is very intentional. The game seems complicated if I were to explain it but it was a very natural learning process that felt very digestible. Definitely not a fan of the raid mechanic, especially that morale does not increase success chances. Additionally, the late game plateaus when you run out of nodes to raid which makes your success reliant on 1) how many turns you need to lock workers into retrying raids and 2) how many nodes spawn, naturally or by upgrades. 10+ hours deep, the issues I have are clearly not stopping me. Great game.
Game is pretty meh, especially the roguelite part. Not for me.
Addictive, fun, challenging, with high re-play value. As in life, you need a combination of luck and skill to be successful in this game!
