    it's fun for the first 10 hours getting all the upgrades but after that it just gets boring and frustrating.

    - No fast forward option (without mods) - Upgrades are very RNG, I would really like a reroll option or something similar - There is single lane, double and triple. Only the first one is really do-able reliably and the others need almost a "meta" build / upgrades, if you don't    it's fun for the first 10 hours getting all the upgrades but after that it just gets boring and frustrating.

    - UI is pretty bad    … Expand

    Nice tower defence game which offers a lot for the money it costs. it you are into rogue lite games, this one will not disappoint.
    Playtime is about 10 - 15h

    Fun but the UI scaling is nowhere near enough for 4k resolution. There's been improvements but some of the menus are still illegible without zooming in AND using Windows Magnifier (I have found an imperfect workaround for this issue involving the "Override high DPI scaling behaviour" option through Windows' compatibility options). There's also multiple tower defence features missing thatFun but the UI scaling is nowhere near enough for 4k resolution. There's been improvements but some of the menus are still illegible without zooming in AND using Windows Magnifier (I have found an imperfect workaround for this issue involving the "Override high DPI scaling behaviour" option through Windows' compatibility options). There's also multiple tower defence features missing that have been standard for years now including:
    - No rotate function which often makes placing towers really awkward.
    - No speed increase/decrease options
    - It's not super clear exactly how some towers and targeting priorities precisely work.
    - Waves are called levels but towers also have experience levels, leading to confusion in some game mechanic descriptions.

    Other lesser gripes are the complete lack of art direction and a scant few very irritating MIDI style tunes for the game's music. Thankfully you can turn that off.    … Expand

    Rogue Tower is a great minimalistic game combining roguelike and tower defence mechanics. This game provides you with countless hours of playtime, or at least until you develop the ultimate strategy for defence. Procedural generation helps in this regard, which is why Rogue Tower has a very high replay value.
