The price point on this game is a bit insane, no?
I mean, as far as the quality and all that, this game should at best be $3.00 like Vampire Survivors. It's also a tower defense game where the market is over saturated, and it doesn't even do anything particularly new or unique, and has many have brought up is missing a lot of quality of life features you would expect from a tower defense game these days. Feels more like just a cash grab from the quality+the one developer thing. Also feels like this is a game you would have found to play for free on Newgrounds in 2003.

WTF are you talking about? I've played 30-40 TD games and this is by far the best TD experience I've had since OMD and Defense Grid.

You're wrong when you say it doesn't do anything new or unique. Point me to a game where the paths are in 3D and are randomly generated.

The price is fine - if you play this game at all, you'll be at 20-30 hours easy.

This game has a lot more to offer than Vampire Survivors. Both are great games, and both are really low priced considering the content. These kinds of games are the best. The price point is insane alright, insanely cheap!

Let go with the hamburger scale: You like hambergers? Everyone likes hamburgers.

How many hamburgers worth of enjoyment did you get out of this game? If that many hamurgers would cost more than this game, then its a good value.
Poor.

I'm not going to tell you that you're wrong for wanting the game to be cheaper. However, you have to realize that it's simple supply and demand. Nobody is being misled and everyone can check out what exactly is in the game before buying it. Whether or not one believes it is worth the price, is for each individual person to decide themselves.

Personally, I pay €15 to watch a movie at the cinema, which makes this game feel very affordable to me by comparison.

No, this game is definitely fairly priced. While Vampire Survivors is also great fun, the quality and polish of this game is greater.

i'm loving both this and vampire survivor. I'd say 1)I'm getting more playtime out of RT, and 2)Vampire Survivor could easily cost more than $3 and people would have still bought it i think.

It is silly how little they're charging, maybe a deep EA discount that's wonky due to how much traction it has now (deservedly) received?

I've got 48 hours played already.. This game is absolutely worth its price point.
Just because it looks simplistic and is missing some QoL doesn't make it less fun.

It's actually the only TD that has captured my attention in quite some time.

I mean if we had to compare vampire survivor its 3 hamburgers I enjoy in short burst. While this is 4 hamburgers I just eat in one sitting while playing something else over it but that could be because I'm just achievement hunting now made it 43 with just flamethrowers D:

Price point is fine, there is a lot of play in it. I´d wish there would be more than the 3 starts and 45 levels though cause i am nearing the end :D Thats where i loved entropy TD in starcraft 2. With a mate it has endless replayability...

Same. Usually tower defenses have very little care for balance and have a single repeatable strategy. the card leveling system, plus the pathing generation adds new levels of depth not explored in any tower defense i've seen yet.

If you want to game the system and only unlock cards you want to see every game, its going to be like every other tower defense. you get a single build and you work within those confines that will show up the same every time. Otherwise you have to adapt your strategy based on what cards you get. This game is not revolutionary, but it does put together elements that have not been put together before in a way that they complete the game instead of feeling tacked on.

This game is great. I hope the dev continues to make games.

ONE. ONE Big Mac Meal. That is the price of this game depending on where you live. It isn't worth ONE BIG MAC MEAL?

Get out of here, LOL.

Newgrounds games? I dont think so, those are usually flash games . . . games that are even lower in first impressions appeal than Vampire Hunter.

While the price point might seem high, it is a very straight forward tower defense. It doesnt beat Defense Grid in breadth, it doesnt compete in graphics compared to Sanctum. It doesnt have the wide appeal via cute graphics as seen in Bloons.

What it does have is a very clean, responsive, and relatively balanced experience. 1 to 3 lane defense, with differing strategies. Pseudo-randomized pathing and a linearly progressed yet random card draw system. It has tons of replayability, if tower defense games are your jam. It apparently isn't.

The thing that amazes me is that the ONE developer has put out a highly polished feature complete game from seemingly nowhere. There aren't any microtranscations or superficial padding, you can just play the game. I paid about 8ish bucks for it, it is a no fluff tower defense game. What more can can be asked for? It is a breath of fresh air to just have a game I can play for 20-40 minutes at a time and know what I am getting, same as VH.

The game lacks a lot for it to be worth $15 I feel. I quite enjoy the game and keep playing it because it is fun, but the polish is very much lacking. Either put this game in Early Access for $15 with the promise of increasing the polish of the game or lower the base price.
However there are updates so in time I believe the $15 will be justifiable. Granted $15 USD isn't that much money at least in the USA it isn't.

just because other games are cheap, doesn't make this one expensive.
