The verdict
A fun, trap-heavy action tower defense that shines in co-op, but it is plagued by crashes and disconnects on modern systems and is tuned for two players. Skip it if you play solo or want stable co-op.
Great for
Duos who want chaotic co-op trap-building and orc slaughter with a friend
Main risk
Frequent crashes and disconnects, especially in co-op on Windows 11, wipe out level progress
