Feb 17, 2015Interesting mix of hack&slay and tower defense, that shines in coop, but falls short in terms of towers and traps. Good clean fun, though.

-

Feb 9, 2015I was pleasantly surprised and had an enjoyable time playing with multiple characters and building their skill trees to suit my play style. Without the cooperative mode, I would have been done with the game quite quickly, but being able to play with friends and strategize in the harder difficulties is worth the price of admission.
-
Feb 10, 2015The large amount of traps and power-ups keeps you playing and the combination with Hack & Slay is well done.
-
Feb 9, 2015Deathtrap "is a trap every man of common sense would be happy to fall into", thanks to its catching tower defense gameplay with arpg elements imported from The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. An ephemeral beauty, though, especially for those who have already enjoyed it in the main saga.

-
Mar 7, 2015Deathtrap is a game that, although it may sound cliche, is easy to pickup but very difficult to master.
-
Feb 5, 2015It's a nifty little time-waster that Neocore's created here, and while there could and should be a lot more content in the future, the game we've got right now nonetheless makes a convincing bid for your time.
-
Feb 5, 2015If you have friends to face since from the very beginning, this could be the tower defense you were looking for. In single player, unfortunately, it loses much of its appeal, while remaining a valid title.
-
Feb 15, 2015Deathtrap is a fun monster-killing, loot collecting, distraction. Unfortunately, it never goes beyond that.
-
Apr 7, 2015The imaginative mix at the first sight but the makers didn't finish their job fully. The game keeps your attention for only a short time, after a while it begins repeat itself.
