I can recommend it to tower defense lovers that like very active and challenging management. It's not a laid back tower defense game. It has some charm and decent visual polish, it's got a hook like all decent tower defense games. It's pretty hard, you have to manage your towers well, repairing and defending rapidly otherwise your system will be overwhelmed. The storyline tries to take up too much space and insists upon itself. Several minutes of cutscene (skippable) story telling before any action. The story isn't of interest but the basic tower defense game loop is OK. I would have liked some more polish on making the controls and character seem more fluid, it feels quite rigid and clunky. The crosshair is locked to a distance for some ambiguous reason since your weapons can still fire beyond it. The in game visual effects are good. Sound effects are good.

About This Game
The shadows hold secrets you'll never forget...
Build your base & blast your way through this nostalgia-inducing journey reminiscent of classic 80s and 90s Science Fiction movies.
Fight alongside your friends through couch-gaming local multiplayer as you help each other fight off the hordes of enemies, unlocking new technologies to help you along the way.
Build your Base
Each level has red crystals spread around which represent positions players can construct buildings or turrets. Players must choose wisely what to build and where as there are limited build spots and the enemy attack paths can turn out to be... unpredictable...
Harvest Resources
To accumelate resources, killing the enemy isn't enough. Players need to roam the map for chests to pick up which contain numerous random rewards. In addition blue crystals are spread around the map which players can harvest for funds.
Defend your Base
Your base is a lot more than just turrets: you can buy / upgrade weapons, items, and more!
Using a combination of weaponry and structures you need to defend your HQ from the enemy hordes until the end!

User Reviews
I would call this a tower defense game but it is a very good game. 4 different characters to choose from seems like each 1 has unique crafting for defending. I have only played the first 2 levels used 2 different characters so far. Overall 9/10 it runs good on the Steam Deck. The video attached was played on Ultra settings on the deck had a little bit of slowdown. https://youtu.be/K4rjhTcNrr8?si=Cf7NUl40EKl7gAxb
Wow this game surprised me. I hadn't played a co-op game for a while and it was good fun. I played it in singleplayer too and it kept me going for quite a while. The gameplay is solid and the graphics are pretty impressive for a solo dev. And I love the awesome eighties retro music and soundeffects! Keep up the good work!
