This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ trash. Sanctum 1 felt a little underdone, but at least it was a fun tower defense with fps elements. Sanctum 2 is an atrocity and isn't the same game in any way. It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ wave survival FPS that happens to have a couple towers.

Remember those giant mazes you constructed in sanctum 1? Say hello to a 15 tower limit. Playing with friends? SAME 15 TOWER LIMIT. Have fun dividing those up.

Remember that effective and useful overhead map? ♥♥♥♥ you, that's right outta here.

Remember televators making it easy to move around the map? Haha, yea ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ right.

Remember upgrading your weapons? Nope. That's gone.

Remember how your used to be able to craft a path with your towers? SAY HELLO TO BOSS UNITS, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. They'll kick stomp right through your ♥♥♥♥ and go straight for the core. Because ♥♥♥♥ you, that's why.

Oh, but you can turn on sandbox mode and place all the towers you want. But it's unranked, you don't level up and you won't ever unlock anything. So enjoy placing your 1 tower over and over again. The devs claim this has to do with resource utilization. It hurts my brain to think they can't run more than 15 towers and a handful or NPCs when the first one could run dozens on older tech.

Any the game will start before all players have joined and readied up, meaning some players can miss the first wave entirely. And, and base tower blocks are now a separate resource and are randomly and unevenly distributed to players. Wave 1: Player 1 gets 0 base block points, Player 2 gets 10. Have fun.

And despite all that, they still have the nerve to charge for multiple overpriced DLC packs. Want a powerful weapon or tower? Pay up, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Coffee Stain took Sanctum 1, which had some fun and relatively unique mechanics, and tossed it in a blender with some feces and broken code and then took a big ol' sanctum steamer right on our chests. This game is worse than Sanctum 1 in every conceivable way. Do not buy it.

do you know that happiness is a feeling? I have both played and watched others play games much worser. but i actually mean this serious, did you live in a castle and then lived back in a normal house with other standards?
