Wanted to like it, but it ramps up in difficulty too quickly and the EXP/money you get per level fail or completed is not enough. EDIT: Inevitably hit a pay wall, where you can fork out money to help. The game style is cool. 100% whoever makes the maps doesn't play them. EDIT 2: came back after a long time away from the game. there were some updates. levels are still absurdly imbalanced, even with the new added trinkets. I hate that I spent money, because I was so annoyed. still very love/hate.

the game is fun, the only problems I have are I tend to burn through my gold, cash and full really quickly, and I can't take more than six total units, and I get its part of the game and doing the most you can with the least you can take. it is a strategy game after all at the moment I am at stage three and plan on playing more to form a proper opinion.

Played this years ago and came back recently to try all of the upgrades. I was pleased to see my progress was saved and currencies converted, but the balance I'm left with is rough. Maybe it's because of this old progress, but everything I can play (other than grinding old levels) is far more challenging than my troops and it costs soooooo much to buy new troops or upgrade significantly. Rough grind.
