Surprisingly very solid game. There's a learning curve but it rewards learning the game mechanics well. The characters feel distinct and both the art and voice lines have a certain charm to them. I would love to see a more permanent form of meta progression, like a universal power point buy in. The game kind of attempts something like it, but it costs currency and lasts for one run, and is random. So it's much less satisfying that it could be. But the game overall is still very much worth $5 if you're a fan of the genre, and has a free demo if you're unsure. Edit: The dev took this suggestion and made the upgrade permanent, and continue to update the game and add new features. That's awesome on their part and I'd definitely recommend checking this game out.

About This Game
Variety of Characters
Choose from a wide range of heroes, each with their own unique ability. Raise exploding humanoid blobs as the Reanimator, build auto turrets as the Goblineer, fire arrows that curve and seek enemies as the Onna-Musha, set fires as the Pyro Maniac, go into a teleporting attack frenzy as Poof, summon wave blasting bells as Calm Fist, call in an ice cream truck as the Ice Cream Man. The list of heroes is 20 with more planned for future updates!
Destruction
Every stage is completely destructible! Some patrol missions will have heroes destroy a certain percentage of the stage or destroy a set number of structures. As destruction goes up, enemies scale up in quantity, health, and damage. New enemy types will begin appearing as you destroy more of a stage, and once you have most of the stage destroyed, the leader of that stage will appear to put an end to you!
Power Points

Feel like you're taking too much damage? Not doing enough damage yourself? Having trouble keeping your health up? With the power points system, you can freely place points you earn where you feel like you need them. Each character's natural strengths and weaknesses can be altered with the power points system to create the playstyle you want!
Random Patrol Missions
In the Hall of Heroes, a hero can choose to take a patrol mission which will assign a task for a random unlocked location. These missions are optional and consist of simple things such as eliminating a number of enemies or structures or collecting a number of fragments. These missions reward the hero with a large number of fragments and a portal that can be used to return to the Hall of Heroes.
Cosmic Powers
As you create a path of destruction you will have a chance to stumble across cosmic hands and the watcher. These will drop crystals that grant a random assortment of cosmic powers. These powers may summon floating orbs, cause cosmic explosions, or even passive healing! Some cosmic powers are passive always active, some activate with all hero attacks and abilities, and some have a chance to activate with hero attacks and abilities.
The Watcher

At any time, the watcher may show up, bringing cosmic powers as gifts, while also selling stat enhancing crystals. If you approach him while having any cosmic powers, he'll offer to replace or upgrade them, for a price!
Risk and Reward
To earn fragments faster, and to increase the challenge in any stage, you can spend a small bit of fragments to increase the tier of the next stage you enter. Each tier increase comes with increased amount of enemies along with increased damage and health the enemies start with! Every 10 tiers will add a random modifier that adds a unique twist!
