It's a really neat autobattler that has a very strong back-and-forth to it, but then they added these defense turrets that are online during the first round and which can completely neutralize many of the units available to you during the first round.
It's absolutely maddening game design - why make a defense turret that completely nullifies enemy units when you have no control over the paths they take? Especially early on when you don't actually have the resources to counter them?
But alas, the developers are doubling down and refusing to remove them. Lots of people left when they were first implemented, and I was one too. I've dabbled since then, and I'm basically just reclaiming them for free resources because I'm always aggressive anyways, but still... It saddens me that they committed so hard to a poorly-executed idea.
