At first glance this game looks like it would appeal to fans of strategic tower defense games but the UI is so badly designed that it is very tedious to even figure out how to change things to combine effects better. When placing a new weapon you can't see which spots are affected by which modules. You can only see which spots are affected by modules by hovering over each individually. The talent tree is completely ignored when you gain new points until you get the idea to click on it yourself and then you have upgrades like +1% damage which make little sense while your overall damage is in the single digits. I tried my first game and literally got bored of it before my modules got damaged for the first time and then quit soon after one of them went to 98% health from receiving a hit.

User Reviews
More of a demo than a full game. Not worth $4. Game play, upgrades, and skill tree (the entire game) is 'meh'.
