Too much RNG. Towers are terrible shots and you can't control their targeting priorities. Example... a freeze turret will fire at the closest enemy even when it's almost dead meaning it's AOE blast will miss and be wasted. This game is fun at first... but as I continue playing it... all I can think is... intentionally painful. If you get good Resource distribution at the start you will have a good run. But if you don't then you get a bad run. The concept is interesting but I have already lost interest in continuing to play. I am tired of being killed because I am waiting on resources. Sure, you can improve your odds by doing challenges and buying upgrades with them... but when I look at what the future holds for upgrades... I realize it's going to be the exact same repeat run over and over. And then, I made it to the mission with shortened visibility and range. I quit... I play games for fun, not for various "handicaps" to overcome.
