I had been waiting for a run-based TD game for a very long time and this is the best on the market as of now. The progression and economy of the run give you a lot to consider when making choices on which node to go to next. Sometimes you'll get a map where you can visit every single node and you get a lot of money and stuff.

Slay the Spire is nice because you have 4 characters with their own pools but this game has 20 or something. There is a lot of overlap in the pools but the dev thought very carefully about them. He made sure they were a good fit for the theme of the deck its individual stats and passive abilities.

There are plenty of games out there that are just to pass time and no one passes time like Tower Tactics Libtardation

been playing on and off sense they went into early access. Its a great tower defence game.
