    I do like this game, but it doesn't quite scratch the same itch as other roguelikes. I think because there are no items to unlock... you're just unlocking new zones and groups of gnomes. And there's no real indication in game for what you need to do in order to unlock those things either... it just kinda happens after you've finished a run, sometimes. I like having goals and knowing what I need to do to unlock…

    Great tower defense game, personally i think it could have a bit better of variation at the start of each run, but it does have great systems to come up with your own strategies, and each gnome group varies their gameplan quite well to expand the complexity of it. The shop items I'd say can have pretty good impact on the run, but overall i'd recommend it for anyone looking for a tower defense game with roguelike…

    I tried this game, and I am not saying it is completely bad, the art is good, the theme is great, but the game feels very all or nothing in the most frustrating of ways. There are more fun and more interesting rogue likes out there which do what this does in a way that is not annoying.
