I want to like this game, I love tower defense but this game just doesn't hit the itch.

My biggest issue with the game is the map design, the game desperately needs proper lanes or funnels where you can set up defenses, the later levels become an absolute mess of enemies spawning from 4 different directions with levels that are too open, so the winning strat is putting all your characters around the shrine maiden in a circle. It doesn't really feel like a tower defense game.

Along with that there are a lot of (in my opinion) useless characters or classes that do the same thing with different flavor, the sumo wrestler is almost detrimental to you because he constantly pushes enemies out of range, the marksman is a more expensive archer that does more damage while shooting slower, to the point I can't tell if there's even any difference in their dps, especially since the archer is far cheaper to max out in the skill tree. Same exact thing with the lumberjack and the spearman.

There are definitely things to like about this game and I hope it gets polished, it's just really not worth 50 euro and considering the peak player counts on steam I feel like this game will be abandoned fairly quickly.
