Pros

The touch controls/movement controls on this are really really awesome. Zooming in and out on the floating island to either "god view" from high above where enemies look like ants, to down on ground level first person in a click or pull is pretty awesome.
Pro Great humor
Pro Polished

Cons
Con Very limited placement of towers
This is not like many tower defense games where you can "build your own mazes" to send enemies how you want them. The spots to place towers here are very very limited (at least half way through campaign), and in most cases you only really have 4-5 viable spots to possibly put towers.
Con Geometry gets in way of ranges
The geometry in the game affects the ranges for the worse. You are very limited in where you can place towers, and if you try placing the standard gun, or laser in half the spots, they can't hit half of the enemies inside their range due to being on a mountain side for example.
It at least shows you this in the range of the tower by showing a red area where they won't hit. It ends up making a lot of the spots to place towers useless as the only towers you can put there are crazy long range ones like the Missle.
Con Some of the towers don't seem very balanced
Some towers don't seem very well balanced. For example the Annihilator, which is one of the final unlocks, it just doesn't do much.
Con The screen
Dungeon defenders screen should give everyone the same amount of screen.
Con Single player is boring
Dungeon Defenders shines in its multiplayer mode, but playing alone is just boring.
Con Repetitive gameplay
Once you've played a few maps you'll have a taste of everything this game has to offer.
