TLDR - no in your face ads, but awful scaling and pay driven mechanics combined with being a carbon copy of similar games without any interesting evolutions makes this one easy to miss. First off, I love Habby; and have tried almost all their games so far, and gone deep on several. Wittle defender is polished looking, straightforward, and initially pretty fun as with all their games. Unfortunately the scaling of the game, and the way energy is implemented make this feel like a cash grab despite the lack of ads. Unlike other titles, Archero 1 and 2 for example, where it’s a struggle to progress after a fair bit of play and they player must choose between paying or overcoming the difficulty curve with skill or time investment, this game relies entirely on either paying or waiting extremely long periods of time. The slow unlock of additional features (gear, additional game modes, challenges) works great when one can progress through that initial content in short order. This game requires waiting days or spending money in order to even get to those features. The basic gameplay loop is hyper casual and doesn’t feel super rewarding, there is zero engagement during levels other than picking power ups, and brute forcing a most powerful character is more effective than playing toward enemy weaknesses or other mechanics in almost every scenario. Still a fan of Habby and will continue to try their new titles, but think strategically continued investment in quality titles with new features and events has been a better outcome than the repeated carbon-copy monetization driven recent releases.
