I have to wonder, did the developers sit down and say "Hey, let's make a money grabbing version of Kingdom Rush" or were they just stupid and oblivious?
Being a shadow person probably isn't all that bad. I mean, you don't have to worry about shadow people stealing your body in your sleep. And you don't even have to sleep ever. If I were a shadow person I'd just go hang out with other shadow people. What's so great about having a human body anyway?
And to think it all would've been for nothing if somewhere along the line one of the Viktors said "I don't wanna grow up to find the promised land like Daddy! I wanna be a baker!"
How else would you wipe up the poo?
