Tower Defense meets frenetic action, and players can't get enough: over a third have already burned through 10 hours. Since launch, 88% of feedback remains positive, with longer playtime clearly correlating to even higher satisfaction.

What it's about: Strategic tower defense where you play a witch, place class-based towers, equip them with items that grant powerful abilities, combine them, create unique builds & deal ridiculous amounts of damage! Customize your builds with a deep stat system and giant skill tree!

« It is very short, 6 maps. You used to be able to do challenge runs to make points to fill out your skill tree, and that is gone now. No matter how many challenges runs I do, no points for the skill tree. So... 5 maps total. Not worth it. »
