Things that would make this a 5 star game: Stuck to 40 levels to finish is too difficult. Spent a week on "beginners" level trying to get to 40 rounds. Make an "Endless" mode where I can either keep playing after I die or endless to start. A great example is Mini-Motorways; Adding different Kingdom to conquer would also keep me engaged where I have to get though all the kingdoms where you can make fictional maps or real places. Or a game of thrones tie in.

It is not fun when factors out of players control make game unwinable. Levels are 40 rds & last over 45 minutes. On round 30 a new defense point appears but your "random playable cards" do not generate defense towers to defend the new point. There is often no way to win. I just lost 3 plays in row in which I went into rd 30 with full health & lost by rd 34 due not getting towers to defend the new points in the level even though I was spending all my gold to get extra cards. Not enjoyable.

Addictive solid tower defense. Using a system slightly similar to Slay the Spire or Hearthstone, where you're using cards as actions/plays, you're either putting down towers, paths for enemies, utilities, etcetc, though, it's biggest downfall to me is the randy random of all card draws. You're either getting almost every card you want each turn or you're left frustrated with bad draws. Rng isn't bad. it just feels as though some games are losses regardless of any potential moves you make. 4.25
