Like others have said, Necrosmith 2 sits smack dab in the center of recommend and don't recommend. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to say 'meh'.

I wouldn't call Necrosmith 2 a tower defense. Its more like babby's first RTS where the troops you summon are given generic orders and automate themselves while mindless creeps make a straight line right towards your tower.

Game went on sale for 50% off. Bought it and played it for 10 hours. I enjoyed the first few hours.

5 hours in, I noticed how shallow and easy Necrosmith 2 is as a game.

10 hours in, Necrosmith 2 felt boring and repetitious. There's no victory condition to win a map. Once all the creep spawns are destroyed, death appears and ends your game. This makes me think the game is set up to discourage playing well. Keeping creep spawns around allows you to farm gold and buy power ups to make the game... easier... I should probably move on from the 1st map and try to actually complete the game... But there's not much to look forward to since Necrosmith 2 is short and has a total of 3 maps.

Overall the game is ok. It's not bad. Neat concept. But there's nothing that makes it stand out. Game really could use a speed up option. It also has some QoL issues that could use some tidying.

Steam definitely needs an option between recommend and don't recommend. I'm picking recommend since I feel like I got my money's worth. But honestly, I feel that $4 could have been better spent on something better. Necrosmith 2 is about as mid as you can get.
