Progress doesn't stopThe laboratory researches in real time, even with the game closed.

Come back the next day and it catches up on every level that finished while you were away. Collect, combine, break the gameUpgrades that go from a handful of coins to absurd numbers. Modules with rarities, including risk-and-reward legendaries: more loot in exchange for more enemies. Artifacts with automatic abilities — shockwaves, missile salvos, singularities, frost auras.

Climb them all and find out how far your build really goes. CompeteLeague tournaments with promotion and relegation, global and friends leaderboards, and guilds with weekly missions, shared research and chat. Your styleDozens of animated backgrounds, tower skins with their own effects, colour palettes and music. And your progress travels with you: play on another PC and pick up where you left off.…

Brother, the upgrades are so freaking miniscule (some less than 1%!) that I can't even fathom how long it takes to get to the builds…
