This had the potential to be such a good game but quite simply put, it is not. The key things holding it back are as follows (there are so many, it's hard to know where to start and in no particular order): The mouse sensitivity in the menu system is different from the mouse sensitivity in the game play. This does good a hob of getting things off to a bad start. On easy mode the game becomes too difficult too quickly. The game balance is not good. It is possible to have to choose from three battles and even if you win your battle, overall progress will be lost. Crystals needed for upgrades, buildings and research seem to be be difficult to obtain, making progress difficult. Rebel troops are very slow to become available and too easily lost, so there is no obvious point to them in the game. The primary cannon starts off with only three shots available at a time and takes far too long to reload and is not powerful enough. Despite having researched multiple primary weapons, and despite t...

User Reviews
This is an OK tower defense game. You play as a commander where you will be flung into different missions to get resources to eventually be able to take down the invaders. The reason why I'm saying no to recommending this game is because it lacks polish, and replayability. So each mission you either build new towers, or you inherit the old towers from the previous mission, then the enemy will randomly spawn in random troops throughout the map, and you have to take them all down. If one of your towers dies, you get it fully refunded, but only after you win or lose the mission. Since you have no idea where enemies will be appearing, or what the unit composition will be it will be hard to change your playstyle. Even if you try to refund/rebuild you will still have to wait until the next mission to rearrange stuff. The game has multiple different resources for you to collect, and you can choose the missions to determine which resources you go after. The reason why there isn't any replay...
