“I've been waiting for a game like this. I loved dungeon warfare 2 but I was never a fan of the pixel graphics. This game has the similar strategy gameplay but with cards. Lot of fun traps to use to change up each run.…”
“Ok'ish TD, the image is not great, mechanics are not fully polished, but gameplay is still enjoyable. Yes, but on sale for TD seekers.”
