Sir, We Have an Orc Problem

The game is fun for a couple hours, but fell short after that due to a fundamental design problem in my opinion. The thing i have always enjoyed about tower defense games is the player agency to choose how to tackle a problem, flexibility in how you choose to tackle a challenge, and choices expand as you progress and unlock more challenging maps. This game does not play like that. Every single available tower is always placed on the map at all times in order to progress, and you continue to run the same map over and over until you have enough points to unlock another tower in the hopes you now have enough combined DPS to survive. There is no strategy. there is no choice. Every skill tree unlock has roughly the same outcome no matter which you unlock; which is a slightly higher orc kill count. I cannot choose to tackle one map using only flame turrents, or only mortars, or only cannons. I HAVE to use all towers at all times to progress. Its a fundamental design flaw with the game to be aware of before purchasing. At $10 the game is not competitively priced, And the value really isn't there. But for indy games made by normal folks, i don't mind parting with $10.
