These games are really fun. I hope other games draw inspiration from them.

Short but very fun game!
Oh, wait... two games... but there's not much difference between them, so...
Anyway, games are good and soundtrack is a banger.

Could be a better experience

There are some flaws:

- Controls are too delayed leading to a lot of misplacements, you can and will get stuck in your own "towers"
- Recall mechanic is again, too slow
- Too much pattern learning
- Saving for bigger upgrades is punishing as you have to finish the stage with what you have and can't go back to 'lobby'.

That being said, the gameplay is so unique that all these can be overlooked and treat this as a classic game, I was really surprised with it and finished Part I in a single run.

i bought these back on the 360 as a teenager and loved it. its just as good all these years later.

This is a good game, hard but not unfair. I recommend it.

This is a unique game that the creator clearly put love into. I love the retro feel while still being innovative with gameplay and level design.

Fun and short tower defence-ish puzzle-ish game with great music, but the achievements are broken and have been for a while now.

Super fun, very original RPGish-RTSish-puzzleish game with a lot of flexibility in how you play. If you are like me, no matter how many times you play it you go back to maxing out Shaedu and trying to utilize him exclusively no matter the circumstance. Getting all the steam achievements seems to be broken for me, but I will live with it as this game is fantastic.

I wouldn't call this Tower Defense or Dungeon Crawler even though it looks like it.

Each mission/level you have one small area you can move around in, and you have seconds to do so (split seconds later levels). You can summon 3 stationary heroes, your towers. Warrior, archer, and bomb thrower. Each with their limited abilities.

The thing is, this all happens EXTREMELY fast. You can go through a whole level in what seem like seconds. Strategy of going into a room and putting a warrior at the door is about as much strategy as there is.

Okay concept and fun enough for an hour maybe. Unless you love action extremely fast games. Neither of which I associate with dungeon crawlers or tower defense.

Is the concept of the game good, yes.. but it just doesn't work.
After a while it became a Grind Fest of just trying to RNG beat a level in "Special Mode".
Did I beat part I YES, did i beat part 1 on hard YES, did i beat all challenges in part 1 YES.... but to play PART 2, I to go to the library menu to start the game. This gave me the option to play part 2. Good luck with that only 2% & 1% of all individuals have beaten the "Special Modes'.
There is almost no story, you do have to learn each map but even still I enjoyed the first 4 hours of game play after that it was just me trying to get achievements which I failed at
