    I like Idea and game seams well crafted. You get a good blend of cRPG and tower defence with climatic graphics, sound and character designs. But it suffers from monotony and really bad balancing at later levels.

But it suffers from monotony and really bad balancing at later levels.

    Difficulty it's quiet high and almost entirely artificial. Of course your mastery over game mechanics and skill is a factor. But as you reach around 40% of game, ramdomnes is way to big. For example on earlier level monster were able to cut my heroes life at most by 15% and on another level I was decimated. In essence you play lottery where your skills just hedge your bets. I prefer games where I am source of my failure or success instead of random number generator.

    Another major problem is that after playing this game half way you done it all and just change level and monster graphics. Game may be more successful on mobile devices IF balance issue is addressed    … Expand

    Great art, great music, gameplay is sub-par and suffers from serious issues. Still feels like a prototype in many ways. Later floors suffer from major balance issues. Multiplayer has several problems and I would currently call it incomplete. Multiple pods provide gameplay variety that bloats the game and are completely unnecessary - game is at its best in the standard "Escape Pod" modeGreat art, great music, gameplay is sub-par and suffers from serious issues. Still feels like a prototype in many ways. Later floors suffer from major balance issues. Multiplayer has several problems and I would currently call it incomplete. Multiple pods provide gameplay variety that bloats the game and are completely unnecessary - game is at its best in the standard "Escape Pod" mode and it would've been better if they focused on ensuring balance there instead of having several game modes and none of them playing anywhere near optimally.

    However, it is an interesting game due to its mashup of a few genres (roguelike, RPG, RTS and Tower Defense), so it's worth checking out, although I'd suggest waiting on a sale before buying it, as it just doesn't come together very well.    … Expand

    While the game is fun there are some bugs that will ruin the fun very fast for the player. So far I played through twice and the game is erasing my data including the score along with the characters I have unlocked. The second issue is that sometimes the game does not allow you to equip items. I would not advise anyone to buy this game when there are so many other games that work withoutWhile the game is fun there are some bugs that will ruin the fun very fast for the player.

    Thumbs down.
    It seems to be a fairly balanced game, except for loot, but there are far superior rogue-likes out there.
    If you're more towards roguelikes and loot drop and less towards tower defense....you're not going to like this one. Go for FTL and TOME and walk past this title. Managing became a hassle mid way through the game when you have to zoom in and out of the sprawling map    Thumbs down.

    Managing became a hassle mid way through the game when you have to zoom in and out of the sprawling map a billion times to handle all hell breaking loose. The ability to pause doesn't make this any less annoying. This ultimately killed it for me despite the near addictive "what's behind the door" type crawl.

    I get the appeal for some but it's not for me.    … Expand

    L'étron indé typique qui se veut trop frais et déborde de "fraîcheur" alors qu'il est complètement pourrave et qu'il pue la merde à des kilomètres à la ronde ! la musique d'ascenseur ne peut pas être désactivée ni baissée : elle pue la niasierie et la migraine comme tout le reste de ce pseudo-jeu qui n'a de jeu que le nom...

    Ce mélange foireux de tower défense et rogue-like est aussi palpitant qu'une partie de Solitaire et aussi présentable qu'un vieux carton de navets avariés. Et dire qu'ils le vendent, ça ? ils ne manquent pas de toupet ces baltringues ! c'est moche comme un pou et ce n'est qu'un étron indé de plus, repoussant, débile et opportuniste. Il sera bien mieux à sa place dans le vide-ordures, si le vide-ordures en veut bien, bien sûr.    … Expand

    Not quite endless, but some gamers will have fun with it while it lasts.

    An endlessly entertaining and meticulously crafted modern roguelike.

    A stylish, addicting mix of tower defense and roguelike elements. The pacing of the game nicely alternates from planning your defenses in peace to frantically rushing with your heroes and villains to stop the alien swarms coming at you. There could be a bit more variety with the enemies and the modules you can build, but still finding new heroes and opening the new game modes can keep you well occupied. [Feb 2015]
