The main pros of the game

  • Innovative Concept: The game introduces a unique twist to the tower defense genre by flipping it to a "tower offense" mechanic, where players control an attacking squad rather than defending towers.
  • Decent Production Quality: The game has acceptable graphics, sound options, and overall polish for its time, showcasing a competent indie production.
  • Strategic Elements: Players appreciate the need for planning routes, managing unit abilities, and tactical positioning, which can create moments of tension and challenge.
  • Fun Gameplay for Some: A segment of users finds enjoyment in the gameplay, particularly those who appreciate the strategic puzzle aspects of planning routes and managing units.

  • Variety in Missions and Enemies: There is a desire for more diverse mission objectives and enemy types to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
  • Enhanced AI: Some users note that the enemy AI could be more dynamic and less predictable, which would enhance the challenge and enjoyment.
