Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten (DX edition) Reviews

Unique mechanics, blend of philosophy and strategy, comic relief. If you like RPGs and puzzles, give this a try.

TL;DR Yes if you are looking for a casual fun tower defense experience, warning if you are a completionist: A fun RPG tower defense to sink some time into. There's lots to learn and enjoy with character skill trees, unique weapons and armor, and even many secrets! I had a great time progressing and everything felt smooth right up until the 195/201 gold star range. This is where this game gets INCREDIBLY finnicky. There are 2 amazing steam guides to get you 2 of these stars but all of the obsidian skull levels are very serious. You will be playing on 1/4x speed with 6 of each class that have to have perfect skills and placement. I found this pretty tedious, and if I didn't have those guides I would have given up for sure. Just a heads up that near the end of the game you will be spending more time building your party on your party menu than actually playing the game xD

As an RPG and a Tower Defense lover I can say that this creative mix made a quite interesting game. I loved the gameplay and there's many add-ons when you finish the game...but...the story is...fine, so if you're here because of it I would recommend another game.
