    Deathtrap is definitely worth your time. Though, it is more like a TD-themed expansion to Van Helsing rather than a proper stand-alone game.

    Deathtrap is a game that, although it may sound cliche, is easy to pickup but very difficult to master.

    It'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.

    If 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.

    Deathtrap is a fun monster-killing, loot collecting, distraction. Unfortunately, it never goes beyond that.

    The 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.

Deathtrap can consume good amount of time and can be enjoyed.

    Crafting is completely unnecessary & useless. At easy difficulty game is too easy and as you spike up difficulty, then the enemies are too resistant to what ever you throw at them. Leveling up is expensive, As there are many skills to choose from and to max them out will require 10 points or more, for a tower defense game traps and towers aren't powerful enough to stop the monsters so you have to run or teleport from one side to the other to shoot or stab monsters.

    Deathtrap can easily kill couple of day But it ain't addictive.    … Full Review »

Not only are there lots of traps and lots of monsters to funnel through them, you also get combat skills to supplement your traps. You can find or craft gear for your character and you can level up both your character's skills and the traps. The game could do with more maps and more game modes, but I've rated it 10 regardless because it's such a rare beast and I do hope it will set a trend. It seems like it will take you somewhere around 40 hours to complete all 13 maps at the highest difficulty with a three star rating. The game does come with a full map/wave editor however, so there's a chance it will keep you busy longer than that.… Full Review »

I'm amazed why more dev's aren't throwing their hats into these co-op/tower defense games but this one is very fulfilling so far to me.… Full Review »
