Reviewers enjoy both planning traps and fighting enemies themselves. This blend of action and defense suits players who want to remain involved after setting up.
What makes it fun
Fight What Gets Through
Set traps in the corridor, then use weapons or spells on enemies that slip past. It feels good when your plan and your reactions work together.
Watch Your Trap Plan Work
Combine traps along the enemy route and watch the incoming horde fall where you expected. Choosing the right spots makes the plan feel tangible.
Rethink a Fortress
A successful defense can still miss the target time. Changing your traps and their placement gives you a new way to tackle the same fortress.
