If you’re a fan of Bad North or real-time tactics games, this tower defense gem is a must-play. Blending the minimalist charm of its inspiration with its own fresh mechanics, this game throws you into a tense and beautifully stylized battlefield where every decision counts.
At its core, the game challenges you to protect your fragile encampments—represented by tents—against relentless waves of monstrous enemies. It’s not just about brute force; success hinges on smart troop placement, timely repositioning, and knowing when to hold the line or fall back. Troops feel distinct, with unique strengths that encourage thoughtful composition and tactics.
Every round keeps you on edge. With each wave, the tension ramps up—do you spread your forces to cover more ground, or consolidate to hold a key position? The enemies don’t just charge in blindly either; they test your positioning and punish poor planning. Keeping all your soldiers alive becomes not just a goal but a badge of honour.
The visual style is crisp and clean, making it easy to read the battlefield at a glance. Sound design amplifies the sense of danger and victory, with each clash carrying satisfying weight. There’s a real sense of progression too—whether you’re surviving longer, experimenting with new strategies, or finally holding off that brutal final wave.
Final Verdict: 9/10
This game captures the essence of tactical survival in a compact, addictive package. It rewards smart play, punishes carelessness, and keeps you coming back for just one more run.
