Early Access Review
Update 14 August '24: Having played this game probably far too much and acquiring 25/26 achievements, some suggestions for a few QOL upgrades:

1| A quit button within the map AND the battle screen please for us laggy Mac users.

2| Distributing troops is easily the most tedious and not fun part of the game. Especially night after night. I find myself avoiding dealing with troops and focusing on towers just to not have to deal with them. A quick command to evenly distribute troops among enemy spawn areas would be greatly appreciated.

3| Pause screen bar of how many of what unit have spawned already in a night, like the health bars, just below each unit. Really nice on nights that 188 hunterlings or whatever.


This game is minimal and clean. Though it seems simple at first, should the player choose to attempt all challenges on the level, it becomes more complex. The challenge becomes something of a puzzle of strategizing perks against mutators, as well as the king's role, the latter of which can be a glass cannon, tank, or buff for towers. In harder challenges, there's also the added requirement to strategize investing in financial buildings, defense, or offense. Definitely worth the $11 or whatever. I'm very happy with the game and looking forward to new levels and challenges

Minor critique: As perks/mutators/weapons are unlocked, closing the window again and again before I can continue is pretty annoying. I'd rather just see "New Unlocks" and read them at my leisure in the map screen. Devs please add a toggle to turn this on/off.

Suggestion: For the Mac players, gaming can be laggy, as with any game. The quit button requires first going back to the map, then to the main menu,. This might enhance the feeling of sleek design but ultimately accessing two more screens before quitting can be can be a needlessly-laggy slog for a Mac user. Please add a quit button in the map AND the game screen.
