not sure where the tags come from on this one, (rts/ rogue-like) yeah okay... most tower defense games can be considered a RTS.

this game is a go F yourself based tower defense with RTS being part of the gameplay. that isn't easy, and isn't fun either. you play the game, gather a small amounts of loots with annoying consumables that are basically useless in majority of situations, and relics that do things to help your (fortress) or playability.

lets get to the play-style of the game, the aspect i don't really like at all.
playstyle is knowledge based, the more you know about the game and the more you experienced makes it more manageable. meaning the best way to play this game is basically by knowing what all the game has/ can throw at you. knowing best start off building/ resource gathering/ management of resources and (followers) methods too.
basically you're going to play this game and just get annihilated until you actually beat it. some may state this (skill issue) but skill isn't always based off of knowledge and the fundamental gameplay mechanics of said game (how you're suppose play it) creating a linear 1.5 way play style. (what is 1.5) well you even though you have to play this game a specific way, you can barely move outside of that (playstyle) zone, not fully making it a non-linear experience.

this game is annoying, from navigating the cringy ui, to using consumables/ skills, from managing your followers, to resource management, to tower defense. it's all cringe. the playstyle of this game requires a certain type of player....

this game is a fake rogue-like, tower defense rts based game. the elements in games like bosses/ monster waves approaching your fortress all felt exactly the same, the loot that drops from specific mobs always the same. there simply is zero NONE, ZILCH rogue-like elements in this game. people who consider this a rogue-like... they should just stop trying to genre define games, they obviously do NOT know what a actual rogue-like is.

rogue-likes have unlockables just from playing the game and losing. this game... you don't unlock sht. and the drops are basically ALL THE SAME, minus relics. (some drops have quality levels/ so level 1, 2 and 3, omg a great rogue-like element to add here, such great randomized loot.)
