  Dead Ground is a very challenging tower defense game where your character will have to do most of the work, with the towers supporting your play. With procedurally generated levels, loot, and a limited amount of resources, it can take you quite a while before you get a good run where you get some good equipment to be able to survive in most levels. Even with favorable loot, the game is still quite hard. The gameplay is quite fun and easy to master, but the skill is in controlling the playing field and keeping all your enemies from crossing the routes.

  Ultimately, Dead Ground has a lot of cool tower upgrades, skills and guns to show off; perhaps a lot more than you’d expect for under a fiver. Sadly, the gameplay slams on the brakes before you even get to experience them. Putting too much focus on the hero instead of the towers is its biggest problem from the outset, especially when combined with the finicky controls and brutal difficulty. I’ve no doubt that this is going to stop a ton of people from seeing the positive aspects, which may turn up too late.
