Warstone TD is merely okay. It's not great, but far from terrible. Normal difficulty will in most cases fail to provide meaningful challenge, but there are two higher difficulties and various, well, challenges to complete for stars if that's your cup of tea. I thought maybe I'd try for 100% on this one, but in the few highest difficulties I tried I already came across several that I couldn't complete, so maybe that's just not for me. Still, it's nice knowing the difficulty is there for those that excel at these things.

There's a mechanic where you send units against the enemy's "towers" (units/warriors/etc.) just as he sends his own against yours that makes an appearance in a handful of levels but seems underutilized. I feel like it could have featured more prominently. There are upgrades in unit health and defensive capabilities that exist specifically for these missions, but otherwise can be ignored. I don't think I put many points into those things and managed to fare okay.

The town management/city builder aspect feels a bit half baked and unnecessary, but gives the player a feeling of accomplishment, I suppose. The game will prompt you about automating that part of the game if it doesn't interest you and feel like maybe I should have done that. I got hung up a couple times, unable to progress, because I'd overlooked an available upgrade or failed to collect a reward. It's weirdly linear.

Other quibbles: I'm not a fan of the art style, the story is mediocre and at times confounding, and I swear to god there's an achievement for every mission and a dozen other things and it's kind of annoying. Also, I got the "Collect 25 stars" achievement when I reached 10, so that was weird.

All in all, I enjoyed the perhaps 15-ish hours it took me to complete the campaign and a number of additional challenges. I'm sure there are many more hours worth if you're a completionist, but I'm not sure I'll bother. Your mileage may vary, of course, but it's worth your time if you're a fan of tower defense games.

Warstone TD is a super fun tower defense game! Buy it!

This starts off as a simple tower defense, but it def has some depth in strategy later on.

The only real complain I have is that there are so many upgrades per unit and so many weird little side quests it is easy to get stuck and not realize it only to look and its because you have some silly quest that has you buying a few random things from the in-game store.
