Big pile of meh. It tries too hard to copy Defense Grid, but without the story, or interesting AI voice, and without a decent difficulty too. Boy does Defense Technica's difficulty spike like crazy, with Defense Grid, there was checkpoints and you could hit backspace to go back to the last checkpoint in case you made tower placements mistakes, it was also a bit more forgiving in terms of tower effectiveness versus vertain enemies. With Technica? You're restarting the map, and you will be doing that, often.

Treat this more like a Roguelike Tower Defense, because it's highly unlikely you'll finish a level on the first attempt, it's about experimenting with different placements and towers and upgrades until you get a combination that works. You NEED the best tower for each kind of enemy, because other turrets will barely scratch them.

Personally I don't have the patience to do the same level a dozen times just to defeat it for the first time. A hard mode or custom game mode maybe, but not my first playthrough.
