Saves you a refund- Players seeking a large-scale tower defence campaign may find the microgame format too limited

Our take on WitchCraft TD
The page pairs claims of deep mechanics and many strategic possibilities with the label "microgame." That framing matters: the listing presents a focused tower-defence experience rather than a large campaign or expansive strategy package.
What is WitchCraft TD?
WitchCraft TD is a tower defence microgame set in a Pico-8 fantasy world.
An apprentice witch protects a crystal from successive enemy attacks while summoning towers through a random magic system. Each summon costs 100 coins, and towers can be sold through a separate control. The game includes six tower types, 30 unique towers, tower abilities, varied enemies, bosses, a market that grants bonus gold, and bonus quests. Between waves, roguelike perks can provide either curses or blessings, shaping the available strategy. The store page presents the game as playable with two buttons and on low-powered hardware, with a 128×128 visual style.
