Have you heard of it?
If you have then you have proably already gotten a beta key and played the crap out of it like i did! But if your answer is no then you have some learning to do! Let me give you a quick summary of the game. There is an online and singleplayer gameplay, the online you play against other people while singleplayer is just where you defend and then the cpu sends waves against you, i will explain this more in depth later on. But basically there are two teams red and blue and you go to war sending troops and building your defenses all while stabling your ever chaning economy. Sound fun right!
The Multiplayer gameplay
This is what everyone wants to play, its the meat of the game that they worked the hardest on! By they i mean SuperVillain studios, they did a great job putting this awesome game together! But any ways the actual gameplay, so like i said before there are two teams and you each get a side of the map. Both sides are exact replicas of each other so no one is at a disadvantage. You start off with a weak troop around 500 coins and 3 mines with 1 miner each, and 0 battle points. Well what does it all mean?
Well let me tell you, the troop is like in any other tower defense game you save up coins to go send out a troop, the first guy costs 25 coins but other troops can cost much more. Then the coin system, so you start off with the original 500 or so and you have to send out some troops, place towers, and buy miners all when you start off the match. Now to talk about the miners so you start off with one miner and i think 3 mines(may vary) and what they do is collect money every so often thats your main source of income. And lastly the battle points, well they are complicated...so i'll try my best. You can only get them by sending out troops, but then you can spend them on a variety of different things. You can buy upgrades for your troops like armor, hp, and speed, or maybe unlock different troops, also upgrade your main castle. Thats a basic summary of the multiplayer and i just barely went into to details everything will seem more clear to you when you actually play.

The Singleplayer
Currently there are only three maps to choose from, well i should mention that there are currently on three to choose from in the whole game(multiplayer included)! So basically instead of you sending out troops the cpu sends out troops and you have to build up defenses to stop them from making it to your castle. As you gain money and build your intricate maze they send out troops and upgrade them to try and push through your defenses. All the while you are upgrading your towers to stop them! It is a very fun addition to the game, there is no actual way to beat the computer because it is all just based on time so it times how long you lasted and you try and beat your record!

This is a glimpse as to what the singleplayer looks like
The Turrets
Yes the most important thing in any tower defense game! This game is unique because you need to balance your money out between the turrets and the troops. You have a choice between i think 6 or 8 different types of turrets. They have small turrets like shown in the singleplayer screenshot such as the crossbow and the cannons, while they have lager ones like the lava pouring monster in the multiplayer screenshot! But not all turrets are for destruction they have some that increase fire speed and damage and some that slow down troops with wind! If all those towers arent enough to stop them then you can upgrade all of them up to level three!

My opinion
In my personal opinion i love the game! I think that they did a really great job with putting it all together and it has tons of potential to become a very successful game! I like how you have complete freedom as to how you build your setup and how you can change the whole map around with just a single turret. I also enjoyed how you have to manage how you spend your money and be sure not to spend too much on turrets and then end up not being able to attack your opponent with troops. So not only do you attack the other castle you also have to think about defending your own castle, it is a very interesting concept and it brings tower defense games to a whole new level!
