The verdict
A fresh "tower offense" twist where you route a convoy and support it with abilities. Skip it if you dislike escort-style babysitting, repetition or late-game difficulty spikes with sparse checkpoints.
Great for
Tower defense fans wanting a short, cheap, tactical reverse-TD with route planning and ability timing
Main risk
Repetitive escort-style babysitting that turns boring, with late-game spikes and far-apart checkpoints
What players love
