Very fun roguelite tower defense games. The basic mechanics are similar to Rogue Tower, but the quality just feels so much higher across the board here.
You improve towers by equipping items that you randomly find over the course of the run. Getting the right items is really important to winning and there's only so much you can do to adjust to the items you do find, so it feels a bit more luck based than I'd prefer. Of course, roguelites need a bit of a luck element, so it's not the end of the world.
There's a large metaprogression tree, but for some reason respec'ing costs half of your experience. I'll never understand why you'd want to curb experimentation in a game of this sort.
Anyway, complaints aside, the basic gameplay is on point. Worth a look if you are a tower defense fan.
