Written by I had planned to write an in-depth review of this game, but in the end, I find I’m having a lot more fun playing it than trying to write about it. That was my whole point, right? Have fun?
A few things that bear mentioning:
- The control scheme is a beautiful, beautiful thing. At no time are you required to remove your hand from the mouse.
- The production values here are more than equal to the $10 asking price. I have a thing for well executed menus, and this more than fits the bill.
- I played this game like I play my tower defense games: casually. Word around the interwebs is that this game is positively punishing on the higher difficulties.
On that note, go read a real review over at Ars Technica (if you haven’t already).
