I really hate to write a bad review, especially for an early access game, but ... There are multiple problems with the game: Most of all, it's a boring grindfest. As in most tower defense games, you place your towers (in this case characters) on the map. But in this case there are just two kinds of towers: Ranged and Melee. And they do damage. In game you get "stars" which can be used to make one character stronger. The tactics part is rather small, because there are not a lot of options. Basically it is: -) Place characters. -) Wait -) Put star on a ranged character (it's pretty pointless to star a melee character) -) Wait -) Put star on a ranged character (it's pretty pointless to star a melee character) -) Wait ... Grind the current level till the ranged characters have earned enough xp. Level them and play repeat the grinding on the next level. Since only the characters that kill an enemy get xp, all xp go to the ranged characters. --> Melee characters are dead weight, since t...

GAME IS ABANDONED.... Do not throw away money. below is my original negative review I pulled this straight from discussion page that i wrote rather then rewrite all the same crap in a review. Its all true, and none of it subjective. If you can handle TERRIBLE interface/ a pure DPS tower defense grind with zero strategy/ and glitches, then have fun playing 12$ for this trash. Here is what i wrote in discussions below: i edited it after 3 hours and wrote points 6-8. Badly needed interface So i have played this game for all of 24 minutes and have noticed some seriously lacking UI. Come on devs, this stuff i suggesting is STANDARD issue in any good game nowdays. Game is borderline unplayable till below interface added. 1-Needs item compare when in tavern. Maybe even compare to ALL heros button. 2-You can right click an item to wear it, but have to manually drag item off. Why can i not just right click again to remove item? 3-No desciptions for anything in game when doing a mouse over....
Very lagging and hard to process game without any guide. Not player friendly little content pretty bored after 1 day playing
DO NOT BUY ! This game is currently abandonned and isn't in any kind of working condition anymore. The list of bugs and broken things is really too long to write here. Currently you cannot improve your " towers " anymore, I reported that 3 MONTHS ago and there isn't a single reply from the dev. DO NOT BUY !
The game is a tower defense mixed with RPG and in my opinion this mixture is very fortunate. With impatience I will wait for the full game)
I play it since the beta test. I like the game for a mix of genres (RPGs, TD and CCG) and complexity. Also there is a large selection of builds and tactics. I see great progress in how the design has changed over the last time and how developers respond to all community suggestions. I think the game will appeal to those who love the old good RPG and TD. I was interested to go through all the content, collect the best items and legendary cards. I hope for the new updates and new content.
v1.0.7 "early access" seems to be a broken/abandoned game - character stats randomly reset for me after 40 minutes, other people also reported this on the forum but there is no response from the dev :(
If you got duped into this game because you thought it was an RPG I feel bad for you. this is just a game where characters you dont control and are completely stationary act like towers that shoot at creatures that walk on roads. There are hundreds of versions of this game that are free to play. I recomend those instead.
Хорошая игра.Поиграл, выиграв ключ и решил купить её, чтобы поддержать разработчиков. Интересная система крафта и вариативность использования карт и прокачки персов.
Sometimes I like to play good tower defence games and this is one of them. It is not very easy so it even better.
