Great game, regardless of if it's free or not... it's just a perfect mix of
tower defense, strategy, and RPG elements in an easy to pick-up and play
package.
If you ever played a TD, you will generally know how to play this game with the
basic un-intrusive tutorial.
If you ever played a Diablo-esque hack-and-slash, you will know how to control
the giant troll and activate skills.
The game is simple, yet fun.
Get the game for free, buy the costume pack to support the devs who stuck by
their word and desided to give this game away for free to the publics, and enjoy
a great game that looks perfectly fine even on the lowest settings (like in my
case, as I was playing this on a non-gaming laptop as opposed to my built gaming
desktop, not really expecting much).
So no, this is NOT a great FREE game... it's just a great game that I got
because it was free, and then enjoyed a lot more than what I thought I possibly
could.

Great little game, people getting upset over paying for a dlc is a joke, these
guys made a great game and they should be rewarded if you feel like giving them
a little something, $1.35 for a good game no complaints, i have paid a lot more
for worse games (looking at you Assasins Creed)

A surprise free to play game that was fun and challenging, tower defense mix
with some strategy and a little town management.

+The main feature of this game is that it can be played by twitch streamers whos
subscribers names appear in the game.
-While this is neat, its mostly just a gimmick to promote free advertising for a
bad game design. If the game was actually fun to play and interesting to watch
someone play, this would be a good thing, except its just the opposite.
-The problem is the UI. The UI has sliders hidden behind button menus whose sole
purpose for being in the game is to make you micro-manage those sliders. This
creates an artificial difficulty level, unless you constantly pause the game and
waste unecessary real time. This seems to be done purely to distract, annoy, and
frustrate the twitch streamer throughout the game. Its as if it was designed for
a phone using a touch screen and not a twitch streamer. Rather than making the
game actually challenging- you will find yourself struggling mainly against the
UI as the the sliders I mentioned earlier are pureposly designed to waste your
time. On top of that you must click spam constantly to be effective and there
are no hotkeys to activate your skills in the game. So you must click
constantly, then stop clicking and click a skill.
By the way, when you stop to click a skill you stand still and you can be
repeatedly knocked down by enemies and this interrupts your skills, putting you
in an unaviodable death loop if you are knocked down a single time near a decent
group of enemies.
-Strange coincidence? The troll "gallops" and steers and breaths just like a
horse. Also, what troll lives in a castle? Pretty sure this orignally was a game
about a knight on a horse defending from orcs rather than a troll. Its so
obvious that its painful. Its almost as if there was some last minute changes
due to lack of funding, a artist willing to complete the unfinished assets, or a
copyright claim, or some other barrier. Its hard to believe this was done
intentionally, but either way to me its a red flag signaling bad decisions.
-The game runs at 24 fps no matter what graphics setting you run it at.
-The whole stream to decide wether the game would be free or not is laughable.
Its should be fairly obvious that this was the only option they had to get
anyone to not refund the game within the time limit and to attempt to get a
larger audiance to pay for the DLC. A good strategy.
-The real troll is the game developer for implimenting these poorly crafted
systems and actually expecting someone to freely promote this painful experience
by streaming it. I mean it would be a great marketing strategy, if it was
actually a good game. Instead, its a dull experience that doesn't end. Due to
all of the repition of the core game loop the game becomes a grind that only
becomes less appealing.
+If the UI is ever completly redone, hotkeys are added, and the core game loop
becomes less repetitive, with zero need to pause, it might actually work out.
Check back for version 2.0 or 3.0 etc if they are still working on it, but with
so many problems I wouldn't get your hopes up. What seems more likely is that
another developer will try a similar idea and do it properly.
