Summary
What genre is the game?
It is a mixture of Tower Defense, RPG & RTS with some shoot’em’up and Snake elements.
What's Gameplay like?
Move Brad around the battlefield and dodge incoming enemy attacks and projectiles. Brad is constantly playing his axe-lute and generating notes, standing still will cause him to "jam" and generate notes even faster. These notes act as your in-game resource; you can spend them to perform solos to summon units to follow and fight for you, as well as solos to boost their performance.
Navigate your party through the hordes of enemies, dodging and attacking, preventing them from destroying your town's prized decorative crystal. Survive waves to progress, collect loot, and unlock new units. Upon death you are able to visit the town shop in order to upgrade Brad, the town and your followers, in hopes to make it further next time.
Storyline
You play as Brad the barbarian, who is awoken to the sounds of his town under siege. Today is different though; Brad has grown tired of fighting all the time. The usual grind for XP has grown dull, and he has decided to pursue his dreams of making music instead of shedding blood. Fashioning a lute out of an old axe, he steps out to save his town in the most bizarre of ways.

Tower Defense and Bullet Hell combine with a cutsey artstyle to make a truly enjoyable experience! Precise controls, casual in difficulty, and smile-inducing to boot!

The difficulty system is a bit unbalanced and after you finish it there is not much else to do, but definitely recommended, specially with a controller!.Also you can see the programmers really tried to make a good job, and put lots of effort into it, even it there are some flaws it is worth playing!.
There is so much grinding here that it overshadows cute animations, nice music and original ideas. If you want to make a PC port of a game that relies on micro transactions, you have to go back to the drawing board and rethink the concept, otherwise just don’t bother.

Takes the best elements of what Brutal Legendd wanted to be in the form of a simple tower defense action strategy game, and throws in some fairly forgiving bullet-dodging for good measure. I was surprised by how much fun I had with it.
