Several things that stand out and might help you decide on a purchase:
1. It feels like a complete game. I think it's finished enough that even if development were to halt today, it'd still be worth it.
2. A sign of good game design is when there's multiple good strategies for taking care of a problem. I found myself using multiple techniques and varieties of tools to play, and I managed to beat the game using a variety of them all. There's probably a META out there but I found the game challenging enough to be fun and frustrating.
3. You'll know whether or not you want to refund it in less than 2 hours, so don't worry. The game's tutorial is only a few minutes long, and it's not super complex.
If you wanted a letter grade I'd give it a B, maybe a B+. It's pretty good.

As a long time tower defense fan, Gnomes hit me right in the nostalgia with its adorbs garden gnome theme and fun roguelike elements along with classic TD elements - towers, enemy waves, resource management, and maze building! Several fun and interesting combos and upgrades to discover. Feels like it was made with lots of love by a big fan of the genre.

This is the good stuff. So many tower defense games forsake the joy of path manipulation, but you can really go wild here. The graphics are at just the right level of fidelity to tell what things are without it all blurring together during big builds. Definitely give it a go if you've been hankering for a revival of the genre.

I'm not usually into RNG Roguelites but this is a good, clever, deceptively complex tower defense game. Easy to learn, hard to master. If you can stomach pre 1993 era graphics give this one a shot.

I'm not usually a fan of Tower Defense games, but something about Gnomes appealed to me enough to give it a shot. The art style, roguelike shop system, and free demo definitely helped!
It's pretty complicated for me but I still have such a great time placing, planning, budgeting, experimenting. Give this game a shot, it's surprisingly deep and addicting!

The game is far too shallow in its current state, items are far too sparse, environments are too similar. Every run ends up feeling almost exactly the same. The gameplay is also fairly tedious, requiring you to constantly micro-manage your units and items. Needs major content updates before I'd consider recommending it.

I feel bias going in because this game is an incredible intersection in my love for colony sims, rogue likes, tower defense, and gnomes
However, the game play feels like a unique take on all of these concepts !
A very satisfying game that I can play for a few hours here and there with a clear end in sight. A good amount of content and the runs feel unique enough in between while serving more like randomized levels than a true rogue like experience.
