If anything, I really should stop playing it...so as not to get tired of the gameplay loop when the full game comes along.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
I would love to see multiplayer head to head and coop.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Make Smart base building rewarding with turrets that compliment each other like other TD towers rather than just build the same strongest tower/wall (not that everyone needs the tired old arrow, flame, ice and lighting tower, add some weird ones such as a tower that messes with the primitive minds of the creatures and makes the larger ones charge back into the pack damaging them)

This Prologue only has a glimpse of what the Survival game mode is like, and still nothing is known about what the campaign will be like.

Base building doesn't seem to be too hard to figure out, as well as the defenses and mechanics of it.
