    A fun Tower Defense, but feels rushed

    This is a successful take on a tower defense genre. Runs last about 30 minutes each and constitute of 20 to 30 battles lasting about 1-2 minutes each. There is a limited number of slots for weapons, usually about 10, but you get to upgrade them over time. The main part of the fun is playing with weapon synergies and adjusting your tactics to the choice of buildings you obtain and events you experience, which are random. As you play you get to unlock new difficulty levels, climb up the permanent upgrade tree, and collect stronger and stronger equipment, which you get to keep for future runs. The problem is that the release feels rushed. A major problem is that some game concepts have not been explained. There are no tooltips to inform the player what is "cultivation", "gold settlement" (gold at game start? gold per battle?). Equipment brings other bonuses that leave you wondering exactly what they do. Also, the developers forgot to translate into English the captions of bonuses of equipment, again leaving you wondering if they are one time, or accumulate over battles. I feel the English translation needs a thorough review by a native speaker, and QA needs to give it a good comb-over making sure at least the basics every game mechanics are explained. Despite that I enjoy playing this game. The speed of progress is just right and it is challenging and keeps you on your toes.
