I just bought teh game. Emberward wont launch. Is this a problem with the game or steam?

Seems like most of the upgrades equate to a flat 50-100% damage alot of the time, not including extra range which sometimes is a benefit, sometimes not. But it's often cheaper with the 1x1 towers to just build a 2nd one. Am I missing something? It's not like space is often an issue in the sense of "do I have any empty wall"...

Turns out if you have a game balanced around Tower Cost and Power Being Balanced (which you should ) an item which can make Towers Up to at least 40% cheaper ( maybe even more ? ) will just break this balance. I understand this relic is a risk reward kind of thing but it only really works on the start when you have 3 towers and can really struggle to get going if unlucky and all 3 of them get more expensive on stage 1. But once you have 6, 7, 8 towers it is very common one of them will be so cheap you ...

Even using builds where I get the poison dart towers for 5 gold a piece it still isn't worth getting. I do much more damage with basic towers or cannon towers. Same with the 1x2 towers that spill poison, the only time those seem good aswell is paired with the 10% damage boost perk and even then you should only really have like one in your maze to get it. Maybe I'm playing wrong? IDK. A lot of the towers seem weak imo though in general, like the electric towers and the drone seem not super great either. No...
