Not sure why so highly rated – Dungeon Defense : The Invasion of Heroes Review

I don’t understand the hype over this game. It is beyond boring to play with zero instructions on what to do. There is so much that has to be done after a dungeon is cleared and there’s no guidance on what any of it is. You spend more time doing upgrades, selling things, learning about your dungeon, and reinforcing it (none of which seem to make a difference) than you do actually defending the dungeon. Don’t let the teaser video fool you, the actual play is entirely automated, which means you have no control over what enemies are targeted or when your guys attack. I watched enemies make it to the dungeon wall when they could have been taken out earlier. Your sole job during battle is to activate special abilities once they fill up. Once you sit through the automated fight it’s back to spending five minutes upgrading stuff with no instructions, then repeat. I’ve had more fun watching paint dry. It hasn’t had an update in a year so apparently the developer is done. Spend your money elsewhere.
