-
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 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.

-

-
