Enemies trudge along lanes toward magic seals that they want to destroy, but they must overcome the defenses players put in place to reach them, which include a variety of blockades and elemental creatures that spew flames, frost, lightning, and other forms of magic. Players are put in control of an army of magical creatures that must defend against waves of skeletons and trolls slowly marching across fields. TLDR The meta progression makes it a bad game but even if they patched out meta progression completely it would go from a bad game to a below average game.RIFTBOUND is a lane-based tower defense game very similar in concept to Plants Vs. This is great, it allows you to do something in a boss fight besides just wait for it to kill something and immediately replace it. The boss fights have a mechanic where you can reflect (some) attacks back at the boss which makes them more of a proactive encounter than a reactive one which is great. ![]() ![]() To me at least, it feels like you're supposed to lose repeatedly until you have enough currency to play the game with enough base stats to play the game as intended. You don't try to make a solid strategy out of the possibilities you were given, instead you lose and gain currency which you spend after a failed run to increase your troop's stats for future attempts.
