Game used to be fun for a bit. Controls are time controls pretty outdated now. Also developed a problem when you close the game it will keep fullscreen and stay on top of all other applications and the desktop. There is no way to force close or refresh the display without rebooting.
Defense Grid: The Awakening is a Good Old Game and is so much fun! It is definitely one of my favorite tower defense games. Highly recommended
Defense Grid still 'The Tower Defense' game. Looks decent at 4k, but its just upscaling.
