I love rogue-lite mechanics and I love tower defense games and this perfectly mixes both

As a tower defense game it's the best I've played in years because:
- The randomness that the rogue-lite elements mean that there's no concrete 'correct' way to play every level. It reminds me of a Starcraft 2 custom game called Lottery Defense where you have to make the best with what you have.
- There are a lot of different towers and I've found myself using most of them at different points during different runs. I'm sure as I get more decks up to ascension 10 certain towers will rise up as being better than the rest but so far I'm finding that most of the towers I've tried so far can work just fine.
- The TD mechanics themselves are just really, really solid. The enemies are varied, the maps work fine (I always preferred non-mazing TDs), and the individual battles and individual full runs of a game are the perfect length.

I'd say the rogue-like elements aren't quite as well done as some of the best games in the genre but they still work perfectly fine and are mostly just there to make the TD elements of the game more fun, which they succeed in doing.

Random thoughts:
- The music is great but there aren't enough tracks.
- The game doesn't have much personality. Not really a problem for me who has played hundreds of custom WC3 and SC2 maps that mostly use the same models, but it would have been nice to have some sort of story or characters. Every sector looks and feels mostly the same too which I think is a missed opportunity.
- The game is a lot easier than most rogue-lite games which I personally think is a huge plus. The games difficulty starts easy and ends up hard once you go up in ascension levels which I much prefer to a lot of games in the genre which start difficult and ramps up to being so difficult that basically only the best players can clear it.
- I saw the dev chatting on Discord when I had a couple of questions and he was a really nice guy who seemed very passionate about his game.


9/10 easy recommend for any TD fan.

One of the best games I have ever played. It's a walking simulator but it does it perfectly.

Silly and quick but genuinely good fun

Custodian team makes DLCs an instant buy for me

Most of my time with this game (other than AFK which accounts for well over 50% of my time unfortunately - family life) was just pushing through hoping to like it like I have other TW games. I tried a bunch but I have just realised that I uninstalled the game while ago to make SSD space and never looked back so here's a review with that in mind.

Early access done right and a sequel done right :)

More of the same Rogue Legacy but with plenty of new ideas and features.

Game is really hard though,

Awesome game! It really feels like all the most fun parts of healing in an MMO.

Great puzzles. Beware that they are hard as nails though. I can normally only get through around half of the puzzles in the CtC Sudoku games, and this one is even harder!

My favourite game in years
