“I appreciate Capcom trying their hand on a new, smaller IP. The game is an action / tower defence game where you, the protagonist, has a wider range of actions to do, while you command simpler troops who have limited…”
“Capcom at its best. A weird concept with a singular visual identity that comes together into one of the most addicting games I've ever played. It's a tower defense game, but the tower moves in a straight line and you…”
“Previously completed on Xbox It's a shame Capcom didn't market this game enough (which they admitted themselves). It's an excellent blend of great art direction, music and gameplay. And yet it was largely overlooked…”

“This game fits the pretty strange niche of 1) tower defense and 2) esteroic japanese folklore. It combines the two to create a rather unique and beautiful aesthetic experience. I'm always a big fan of games with good…”

“Great game overall! Feels and presents almost like an Onimusha and Tower Defense mash-up. Character progression and customization is fun, with lots of classes and options to unlock. Levels are fun and engaging with…”

“Such a wonderful game, making a review almost mandatory simply for the sake of giving it the tiniest bit of extra visibility. The mixture of essentially tower defense and fighting yourself strikes a wonderful balance…”
“This is one of the most polished action games I have played. The animation is great, the story is great and the atmosphere is great. I am very impressed with the new/recent games by Capcom, they are all very high…”

“fun at first but can be really repetitive after a while, especially during NG+. If you like grinding (like me) it can be a good game to play while watching something else. All the bosses are kind of boring and require…”
“Pretty good game. The mix of tower defense and action as weird as it sounds actually works. There is a noticeable difficulty spike around mission 8, forcing you to rethink your team composition (note to self: you could…”

“Very fun game with a unique combination of what is essentially payload pushing and tower defense as you command villagers that you save during the daytime to fight with you during the night. The game is mostly worth the…”
“Controls are a little janky and it's way over priced for what it has to offer, but if you can grab it on a decent sale for around $20 then it's well worth it. The art style and music are both perfect, but then, I'm a…”
“Don't let any negative review put you off this, its a gem. Get it on sale, imho its overpriced at full price. Heartfelt story centred around Japanese folklore. Idk if I'd call this a tower defence game, you play some…”

“A more involved tower defence game. You control a samurai guardian that can engage in combat protecting a priestess, you cannot win alone. During the day you set the path for the priestess to walk, free villagers, set their 'class' (such as ranged, melee, support or healer,…”
