Hack and slash or an actual "pure" TD game?

[Carmarkcaine]

Looks like a action/hack'n slash game?

Its a hybrid, you will need the towers to protect against the enemy objective, but you will need to help the towers cause they cant do it alone. Neither you or the towers are enough, but together it is possible.

This game is very similar to Orcs Must Die / OMD2

Or Sanctum / Sanctum 2

And Dungeon Defenders / DD2

The difference is the isometric view like a Diablo game instead of 1st/3rd person.

Hi there!

It's a healthy mix of both TD games and hack'n slash with character upgrades and map control with various devices that can cause heart failure, vaporization and other forms of malicious deaths for most monstrous entities. You will have to equip you character with the best equipment you can find (with keeping in mind that you can also craft them!) while planning on what kind of traps would you like to max out.

Here's an existing thread talking about the TD aspects.

"How Tower Defensy is this?"

It should be noted that it is possible on most maps to go strictly ARPG or strictly Tower Defense tactics and get a win. If you're more comfortable with direct interaction, you can build characters of a more direct, hands-on nature and use those kinds of tactics successfully. However, if you prefer the Tower defense, and want a hands-off approach, you can build characters which provide a large number of trap bonuses and keep your character away from the main action, letting the traps do almost all of the work (and sometimes all of it without your character's intervention.)

The best approach to getting the full Deathtrap experience though is to play it as the hybrid it was designed to be. There's some unique and fun tactics you can set up using a combination of traps and spells to dominate any map you come across.

its orc must die due both traps and player needed, its sanctum for its harder and has some really hard modes. and its DD due its loot. oke its not dropping every enemy random but still all about the loot not just towers. cant do it char alone, cant do tower/traps alone either.

Nwm. Got an answer from Metalacil and Evil_weasel

Ah ok. Thanks.
