Here is explanation of what it is and my first impression: https://youtu.be/GHHtet6wURs If you don't want to read. Castle of Alchemists Early Access Review: - It's more combat focussed than trap focussed in comparison to Orcs must die. Which is more a taste thing than anyting else I just think it's important to know. - Customization is depper than Orcs Must Die, including more RPG dept. - Pixel art looks cool. But you probably knew that by looking at the screen shots - Synergies in traps, similiar as orcs must die, but more works well - Strong replay due to point system, and multiple difficulties, but where are the leaderboards? Should be there looking at the steam page but can't find them. Overall it's quite fun. It's really like orcs must die but a more rpg action spin and overal more dept.

It’s less about just surviving waves and more about getting creative with trap placement and crafting. Only thing is, some of the skill points don’t feel meaningful. Hope they add more interesting upgrades.

TLDR: Scratches that itch that games like OG Dungeon Defenders and Orcs Must Die has neglected for so long. Combat is fun and the character building has lots of options. I recommend this game if you like the genre! I'm very excited to see what the full game has to offer. Pros: -Art style, music, sound effects, animations are all very enjoyable! Especially love the animations, swinging around between bridges looks fantastic. By far the best part of this game. -LOTS of options for weapons/utilities, other reviews I see complain about "grinding" for good gear but never really had that issue -The two factions you fight offer different challenges with their elemental resistances. The enemy designs are also very unique and look great. Cons: -Weird UI decisions, such as only being able to adjust game volume from the main menu. Also didn't realise until halfway through game you could "Change" the weapon you craft into a different variant. -Yes materials are plentiful, but why is respecing so expensive? It just discouraged me from ever experimenting with other builds. If anything I hope this gets removed the most. Neutral: -Game isn't too hard, little bit of a difficulty curve on the second "world". However, once you learn to go for "triad" combos the game becomes trivial, and levels become sitting shooting in one direction waiting for the wave to end. I also don't understand why the final waves on levels with multiple enemy doors only sends one door of enemies at a time. Hope to see a true challenge mode or boss fights upon full release.

Its a Doom Guy Tower defense that you don't just place towers and let it run, you also have a major role in running around and smacking enemies with your stick or maybe even throwing a oil bomb and shooting it with a incendiary shotgun to coat the oil covered enemies in a flame bath, the Rage mechanic you can get that makes your stamina no longer deplete, is kinda buggy if you get rage but have no stamina then you kinda wasted this ultimate power by no just freezing you stamina completely and now you have to swap to a ranged weapon or one of your skills to do damage other than that its a fun tower defense with good music a good way to keep you active and cool imagery to keep your face smiling

I have played the game for 3 hours which was suggested to me from my developer friend. I loved the art style, ui is a bit not explanatory time to time (like which item goes to which slot) but you can make it work. I am not sure how much I would play, but our chad dude deserves several opportunities and maybe a sequel in another genres afterwards.
