Yeah so, I AM recommending this, but with some important caveats. It is a) beautifully designed b) humorous, c) intuitive. However, the base game is very short, the upgrade tree very easy to complete, and I didn't really feel any incentive to grind through the achievements or impossible levels etc. Not loving the idea of paying for more levels as DLC content, but that's my personal choice. There are probably too many heroes if anything, so again no incentive to max out the early ones, you are already moving on. As an easy quick play, this is entertaining. As a tower defense game it does not have the strong level design of its own predecessors. It has far less content with the base game than Bloons TD6. It has nowhere near the depth and replayability of the Gemcraft series or Dungeon Warfare.
As always, ironhide kills it with these cute little tower defense games. Really enjoyed the tower and hero variety compared to previous entries.
Well its the king of tower defence ... in its 5th(?) Sequel ... totally worth the few $ ... if u like Tower Defense Games .. entertaining, funny, challenging and worth your time
