Steam review snapshots
Designing the units is simple, but the management of new and older designs can be a little busywork.There's a lot of replay value to be found in the maps and the asynch multiplayer skirmishes.Also, try not to grind easy levels too much- it can ruin the fun!Why it fits
Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by tower defense, single-player.
