enjoyable take on the game genre.

It's a fun game with some interesting mechanics.

Fun, a bit complicated with a high difficulty curve!

I don't really have the patience to learn how the game works completely, but it does what it

tl;dr: Very stylish tower defense with a bunch of interesting ideas and some problems. If you are looking for a tower defense game in which everything from the towers and enemies to the levels and the very UI itself is heavily stylized in the same theme, this is the game for you. It offers a very laissez-faire gameplay where you can expand into whichever direction on each level and have to reach certain targets to unlock that level's boss. As time goes on and the more you exand, the harder it will get. The gameplay loop with upgrades, artifacts to unlock and change "colors" (hard to explain, but makes sense once you play) works really well and I'd very much recommend giving it a go. There are some issues, though: The heavy stylization comes at the cost of clarity and usability quite often. It's all a payoff, depends on you if you prefer usability or the style this brings. >>> Unlocks, artifacts, etc. are all presented in the game's "rotated rectangle" style and you have to hover over everything to get information. >>> The main menu isn't really a UI, but a small level that you move through and interact with stuff as you go there. >>> Enemies are abstract geometric shapes of different colors. But those colors do not seem to correspond with the game's colors for "damage types". That makes everything happening near towers quite impossible to follow precisely. If you plant your three damage types evenly, you'll most likely be fine. One big issue I found is that every level plays exactly the same, really. The three "sectors" differ a bit in how they look, but if there is a difference in gameplay between them, it is either miniscule or non-existent. The levels seem to be procedurally generated, but nothing within that generation has a real influence on what you do. The different damage types are an interesting idea, but as you are basically guaranteed to face all of them anyway, you'll need all of them anyway so the only real move to use all three towers you have somewhat evenly (except for the first ones you place, which should correspond to where you expand first). As such, despite the interesting unlocks and paths to escalate difficulty, I found myself having "seen all there is to see" very quickly.

It's refreshing at first, but soon becomes a slog.. you'll never upgrade your units to any interesting degree and the out of game upgrades are insanely expensive, I'm talking it'll take you an hour to upgrade one unit or thing.
