## Description

Soul Launcher - Tower Defense is a pixel-art roguelike shooter that pits exorcists against monsters in a dark world. With retro dot-and-pixel visuals and a deck-building twist, you collect spirits and allies, then place defenses to survive waves—combining arcade shooting with strategic tower defense in a compact, highly replayable package.

Selected as one of the Top 10 Indie Games at the Indie Game Festival, this title emphasizes quick 1-minute battles, pinball-style combat, and the thrill of building and adapting your squad for each run.

### Cons

- Heavy monetization and ad-driven progression, with purchases often needed to advance.
- Frequent lag, freezes, and bugs (including ad/reward issues) that disrupt play.
