This game is fun and has potential however... the description is misleading, there is no deck building. There is only ONE map and it is too small to effectively experiment with wall layouts. I think every 5 difficulty levels should give a permanent map size increase, this would give 4 extra tiles in each direction. Without this, the game feels stale quickly. This is basically a trial version, most things are locked behind a single £6 purchase, wish this was clear in the description.

Great game, but beyond unstable, and the UI gets shrunk if you accidnetally bring down the notification bar. Just recently, I finally beat Overlord 1 and scored mad points, but the google review thing popped up and the game fully crashed to my phone's home screen. Love the soundtrack, gameplay is unlike anything else, and the progression feels natural. Just wish they'd fix the instability and it'd be well worth five stars.

Excellent game to come back to again and again. Plenty of viable builds. Matches last the perfect amount of time (5-10m once you become familiar with every upgrade). Unfortunately, the most interesting features are behind a paywall that—in my opinion after playing for quite a while—is too expensive. There simply isn't enough content for me to fully recommend the purchase. Still, there's plenty to do without paying, and there's also l always the possibility of future content updates.
