Game info:This is a fun roguelike tower defense kind of game. I wouldn't call it a tower defense, but I don't know what else to call it. You have to protect your castle by sending out units and using items, while letting your units reach the enemy's castle. Those units and items arrive on a conveyor belt and you can only use the items you get through this system, which adds a bit of luck. It is not only luck, since every time you defeat a stage you can choose a unit or item from 3 options to add to your pool. The units and items from this pool are the ones that show up on your conveyor belt.
The first stage isn't that hard as there is only 1 route to your castle you have to defend, but on stage 2 there are 2 routes you have to defend. In stage 3 you have to make a choice: you can send out units on the only route there is or put them in a waiting line. If there are 5 units in the waiting line, they'll release with a speed boost. Stage 4 has 2 routes to your castle again.
You'll not only encounter those battles. After every battle, you return to the world map on which you have to choose where to go next. There are also events, shops and resting places where you can heal 5 health (the health of your castle doesn't reset after a battle, so it is important to really try to defend it) or remove a card to get another random card.
When your run ends, you receive money, which you can use to buy new units and items. This system is random, so you just spend money and hope to get something you don't own yet. Before going into a new run, you can decide what units/items you would like to show up in your new run. I especially love the Necromancer unit, who revives defeated enemy units with half their health and lets them fight for you.
Achievements info:Most of the achievements you'll get by just playing the game and encounter the different bosses.
There is only one achievement you can't get on the easy difficulty; all the others you can. The one you can't get is defeating a boss from stage 4 on the hard difficulty, which is, in my opinion, a very hard achievement and I don't know how some got it. I already died in the first stage on hard difficulty when I tried to go for this achievement. You can skip the other 3 stages and directly go to stage 4, but if I'm not even beating stage 1, how will I ever beat the last stage?! And you'll also miss out on some nice bonuses you can get during the earlier stages.
For some of the other achievements, you'll have to do special things: for example you need to kill 10 enemies with skeletons. You only get skeletons to get rid of the basic "human" card from your deck, but those skeletons are very weak. This is still very doable in easy mode.
Pros & cons:+ Addictive gameplay
+ Most of the achievements are able on easy mode
+- The hard difficulty is very brutal
- The randomness in unlocking new units/items after a run
