As of writing I have played over 60 hours of this game and I really did not expect to like it as much as I did. I got it as part of a humble bundle and decided to give it a try as I do enjoy the occasional tower defence game. The story is a bit of fun in silly cartoons and engaged me with playing more to see what happens. However, I really enjoyed the progression both with levelling up and trying out combinations of skills from the three different tech trees and with the different passive buffs you can get for each of the tower types.

Its the progression and ability to go back and player earlier levels for stars or extra resources and have them feel easy because my towers are so much better, But still be struggling to complete later levels without even trying to get the bonus star. The balance is just right making you feel powerful for earlier stuff but still work hard for newer levels.

The game is not perfect and does have some bugs which have caused the game to crash on me a few times and to fail to complete levels when part way through which is very frustrating. The devs are active on the forums and do reply to reports of bugs so it does seem that they are working to resolve them. That said stability does need to be a focus and they need to make the same number of skill points available to all players as currently some of the early access players have more than a new player will ever be able to get.

All in all I would recommend the game although if in doubt you may want to wait for a sale. I guess the highest praise I can give is that I am looking forward to the DLC due soon and will be buying it to play more of the game.
