This game is undoubtedly pay to win and has several annoying issues, mainly because these are very confusing as a new player: - making a consistent lobby with friends (you can't just join off steam you have to make a party in the esc menu to keep playing) - there is a public town and a private tavern that have the same things (making parties was more confusing due to this) - creating game matches and not realizing they are public (you can make private games but it was kind of hidden and wasn't intuitive to find out how to do it) - friends timing out when trying to join your private matches - figuring out what to do after you beat the campaign (there are many tabs of maps to do and some of them will completely destroy you) - figuring out what maps you've already done before, and how strong you have to be to do them (there is hardly any information about the maps when you click on them) - the map names and zones are confusing. For example, my friend had 1 adventure map left to do and we had to look up how to see what the last map was in an obscure menu. That map that was listed was nowhere in the adventure tab so we had to guess. - a kind of overwhelming about of shops in the lobby that aren't really explained at all and seem irrelevant for the beginning of the game (was this because I bought the game when it came out ages ago? not sure) On top of the confusing issues, you can swipe your credit card on just about anything (buying gold, unlocking characters, powering up your gear/weapons, battle pass, bag tabs, etc etc) and playing solo seems a lot harder than playing with a group (at least at the beginning of the game). There have also been a lot of UI bugs (tutorial text staying on the screen forever) and wonky/bugged out numbers on gear that seem to fix themselves if you restart. Even with all of these problems that have driven me absolutely insane over the last week lol, this game is still a free co-op tower defense game that looks pretty good and has fun levels and characters. You get to play 4 characters at a time and swap between them during the matches which is enjoyable for strategy setup. Once you get to the very easy/low level cap all of your characters level at once which is a relief. It still gets updated and seems to have an active community. The pay to win is there if you want to skip grinding I suppose, but if you want to defend some dungeons with your pals and have something to grind at this is definitely that game. I don't know why I wrote this whole thing but you can go play it now and see if you enjoy it hehe :))))

The most complex Dungeon Defenders yet with things like combos and crafting. A kind of prestige system makes the grinding as endless as you want it to be. Lots of different game modes. Once you get your builds dialed in you will not want to stop playing.

Pro: -Game is fun if you like tower defender. -Story is enjoyable -P2W is negligable, i think you can earn everything by playing -Class system is neat Con: -The newer game DD Ascended flopped so the devs try to update DD2 more but they are out of touch. -Old as f -Resolution options outdated, 3440x1440 not supported -You cannot skip cutscenes - Ui is terrible. Picking up the game years after i have played last time, i dont know what the towers do so give me a tooltip or explanation ingame without making me search for it for ever.

It's a more modern take on DD1 (the first game in the series). A tower defence game where you have a Build Phase to plan & place your defences using a dozen Heroes (with mostly unique towers and abilities) then use those same heroes to fight alongside your towers during the Combat Phase. Grab loot afterwards to upgrade your towers / hero and repeat. It's a free to play game where you can earn (grind) everything in the game except for some cosmetics. The grind is kinda long but not too bad. It's about a week to earn enough to buy a new Hero. 100% pay to skip at worst, no pay to win. You can also trade with other players using ingame currency (like most F2P games, there are multiple currencies, somewhat predatory "premium" currency packs/etc but it's never too egregious) BUT the grind can get quite arduous in 'end-game'. That said, while other games, you have this '30 seconds of fun' that's looped? Here it's a 'plan and build', fight alongside your defences, collect your rewards then gear up for the next run. It's a '20 minutes of fun' that's looped. If you like a tower defence game with very strong RPG elements and lots of action, complete with a stable of very unique heroes (flying witch? woodsy dryad? studious mage? spiritual monk? noble knight? sinister necro? and much more) ----- The game is server-hosted. This prevents almost all hacking but means you can suffer from lag
