This is one of the best written pieces of game I can recall.

Really surprisingly excellent! Tower defense, but in reverse, and really nicely presented.

Look, I know you want the achievement for the summer sale. But don't. Please, I'm begging you. This is a really bad game.
I really wanted to like this game, but I just can't. I loved the idea of a game set in ancient Persia (and actually using elements of that mythology, rather than the vague middle-eastern vibe of the Prince thereof), and the environments reflect that -- it really is a unique aesthetic. But that's all it has going for it.
The graphics are bad (sure, it's indie, but at least Hydrophobia was pretty), the animations are poor, and there are plenty of content-free cutscenes. Most of the time invisible walls keep you in a small space, except for when the game decides that it's platforming time, and then you're allowed to fall to your doom.
