The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“Poor AI; no solo play except for campaign; campaign levels have locked towers, units, upgrades and spells; campaign is fairly short and only one of the 3 races, so no chance to get aquainted with either of the others races before playing…”

“Doubt anyone would buy this expect in a bundle in 2024, but it's not worth you're time. I've played better tower defence/offence games for free on flash websites. Campaign writing and voice acting is pretty dire. Only play if you've played…”
