I recently discovered this game and I did enjoy it for a time, but the advertised Arena and Rivals modes are not available to me or not working and the devs have, unfortunately, ignored my e-mails. I like the aesthetics, the art, music and sound effects are great. Darkgold drops are ridiculously low, so you either hit a horrific grind or a pay wall. It becomes overly repetitive fast, especially when the game modes aren't available, despite the message in the news section dated 8 July 2026.

pretty sure the ad for this said it was a traditional tower defense game. IDK about you, but I consider that to mean you place towers of various sorts to deal with the ever increasing waves of enemies as they travel a winding path to your base. A decent game in its own right, but false advertising.
