Reviewers enjoy shaping where enemies travel. It suits players who want to redirect the flow toward a defense they designed.
What makes it fun
Shape the enemy's route
Link towers with laser fences to redirect enemies. The fun lies in deciding where to make them take a detour and where your defenses will meet them.
Break the map, change the route
Destroying a building or bridge can change the enemy's route, not just the scenery. You get to judge which collapse will make your defenses work better.
Fight or gather scrap
Do you chase an enemy that slipped past your towers, or collect debris to expand your defenses? That choice stays with you even while the wave is underway.
