    It's a bit more of a thoughtful and deep tower defense game compared to Dungeon Defenders, but Dungeon Defenders is serious fun with co-op mode and ranked servers and epic loot.

    Bought and finished. Not too bad a game. Not bad at all.

    I found it quite funny. I hope, in the future, to have more maps and maybe a cooperative multiplayer. I love those kind of games but for example, Dungeon Defenders hadn't the same appeal :(

    It's hilarious. The orcs say the funniest things.

    Though I seem to have one problem with a level where the number that indicates how successful you are, orcs reaching the teleport of sorts... 30 is at the beginning. At the end I had 30 left but still only got 4/5 skulls.

    I believe part of the skull rating is based upon the time it takes you to complete the entire game.

    You don't have a choice in time. It's just a wave... and the Orcs just run headlong into the traps and your sword/arrow...

    Edit: Just got my 5 skulls for it. Still one of the beginner levels, I think level 6?

    Longer you take to kill a set of mobs, the more time you're going to take to finish the level. If you look at your time taken after you finish a level, you'll see a par value next to it. You have to hit the par value to get your 5 skulls.

    This game is a lot of fun :) I was having some major trouble on the 4th mission before(the one where you get the wind belt), until I ponied up for the spike trap upgrade. After that, it was pretty cake. Can't wait for more maps!

    It was very fun. I totally recommend buying it if you want a fun tower defense like game with traps.

    And the orcs do say some fun things ;D

    Except the last level is surprisingly harder than the rest of the game o_O

    Yeah that last level I haven't figured it out yet. I just cheated and gave myself a lot of gold and used the auto crossbows, at least that was fun to watch.
