Defend the Rook

Genre: Roguelike

I've played the main story 1 time and given it an average score of 2 (out of 4).

Had an interesting premise (tactics + tower defense) but fell short for me. Towers felt underpowered and unrewarding to use. Hero upgrades were ok, but the pool is pretty small so it all felt repetitive after a few runs. Metaprogression was also fairly uninteresting. Cool idea that didn't stick the landing.

Did not roll credits.
