✓ Fits the isometric Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, survival mechanics and melee combat

≠ Stands apart with action RPG combat, tower defense planning and adventure storytelling, while skipping shooter

A tower defence and action RPG hybrid: build the maze between waves, then fight in it yourself with a levelling hero, designed for four-player co-op and long loot grinds. The first game is still the one people return to. The complaint from long-time players is what happened after — a steady stream of paid DLC of visibly lower quality than the original release.
