Description
Things were going well for Azra, the sheltered Royal Librarian. There were books to sort, dust, and put away, important royal documents to transcribe. All this was swept away by the deadly plague that devastated the Kingdom of Ash. The plague killed quickly, so quickly that no one has the time to bury the dead, instead they are thrown, without ceremony, into the Pit. Azra, infected with the plague, is cast into the Pit. Soon, she finds herself in the Half-Way World, the place between life and death and learns of her true power--that of being able to bring anyone into the Half-Way World with her. Now, she must traverse the Pit in the hopes of finding the cause of the plague and must fight to not only save herself but the Kingdom as well.

Wow !

The pixel art graphic of TD phases are far from what I am used to. But it is deadly efficient and reminds me of retro gaming. God that's good... And addictive too ! Having added a RPG phase with a real scenario is just making the whole game even better. Very very good work !

This game is a gem and I highly recommend it. I've spent hours bashing hordes of zombies and rocket slugs , and I've enjoyed every minute.

A must have for tower defense fans!

This game has some issues - written in Adobe Air it does not run as fast as it could it has notorious problems with image scaling at some resolutions... but underneath it all it has a game that is impossible to put down. There are a lot of tactics you can employ, no one way to beat every map. There is a lot of upgrading to do providing you with interesting choices and allowing a creation of very specialised characters. Add to this modability and challenging difficulty and you have a game into which you can put countless hours!

Just a note

DF is not only a solid tower-defense game (as already noted in other review) but the way the devs handled the entire project is passionated, a contagious passion indeed. Their work has been fantastic till now, their game is fantastic.
