This is such a gorgeous game. I loved the art style and the music. The gameplay kind of reminded me of Final Fantasy: Crystal Defenders, but with far more aspects. I will definitely be coming back to this in the future!

Loved the artstyle and look of the game, the gameplay was also very fun and i'm surprised by the variety of envoys! Wished the game had some sound effects but still an awesome game!
Everything in this game clicks together SO well! I really like all the different creatures and upgrades! It took me a second to notice that I have to drag these out of inventory and what ascensions do. Very good game!
Ohh! Really fun tower defense game. As a genre it's very hit and miss with me, but I really liked this one. Really nice retro-style graphics, good music, and pretty intuitive game mechanics. By the end, I really wished I picked up some of those teleportation blessings as I desperately needed to re-deploy some of my units to new locations.
Even though I lost, it left me feeling challenged and not overwhelmed which, tbh, is part of what makes the genre so fun is finding the best strategies and adapting on each play through.
Will very likely be coming back to this game again!
Nice very detailed game. Enjoyed the art and was surprisingly soothing to play.
Very nice game. I made it until difficulty level 23. I died because of the slimes that split appart in multiple enemies. I had hard time to understand the build mechanics (buy, then drag n drop on the map). Same for the power ups you have to be very precise to bind them to your envoys so I got the mechanics right mid game ^^ I'll give it another try as I love tower defense games and I used to develop one for a long time! :)
Really fun game, liked exploring what all the different envoys were doing also trying to power up my main "tower"
liked the design overall, though I kept pleading with my envoys not to attack the slimes for them to split and make me take more damage.
Didn't like the camera movement, would have preferred keys.
Solid entry with a great amount of content and polish, well done!
A super fun and beautiful game, great job! I have to admit I spent way too much time playing it.
Awesome game! The randomness and variety add a ton of replay value. I thought the camera controls with spacebar worked really well. Loved the visuals and music. I only managed to get the boss down to like 70%, I think I needed more damage and less pierce. What does the jester blessing do?
very addictive, great mechanics on a tower defense. maybe controls can be upgrade to make easier the navigation
Great game! The visuals are pretty, and the gameplay is solid and enjoyable.
Amazing game really cool visually and mechanically, cool spin on a tower defense game.
The only thing I would say would be to add a tutorial to teach the player the mechanics better (the itch page controls are all good except how to drag your recruits just simplify it "Left click and drag recruits after buying") and instead of having to hold spacebar just remove it so its right click and scroll wheel.
Really cool game, probably my favourite so far for Aesthetics the whole ladscape and enemies looks awesome maybe some particle effects would be a nice addition.
Really addicting! Great job with the visuals and feel. While the boss is a bit hard(could be a skill issue on my part) the overall difficulty curve is really good and the upgrades and characters feel impactful. Very fun.
Super polished, love the art, love the responsiveness, intuitive controls, incredible variety of unit types AND UPGRADESS!!!! Definitely a contender for the top spot! Very well done! ♡٩(^▿^)۶♡
This is a really fun tower defense! It's really fun to see which new towers and upgrades you can buy. The pixel art style is super pretty and all the animations and effects are really exciting to watch. Great job!
Absolutely loved the placing and upgrading system, felt very smooth and easy to use. The variety of towers, attacks, and upgrades also made the gameplay very enjoyable.
