Hooked Gamers writes: "Unlike most Shooters, Excubitor sheds the usual linearity associated with the genre in favor of open, more dynamic maps. Unlike most Tower Defense games, enemies do not necessarily traverse along a fixed path, or at least not something you would recognize as such."
Excubitor is one of the more clever takes on old-school, top-down shooting we’ve seen in some time. After a few minutes with the game, its mix of classic arcade-style gameplay with modern tower defence mechanics seems so logical, you’ll wonder why there haven’t been more attempts at this cross-genre combination.
GameSpot - Excubitor is a fun and frantic mix of old school shooting and tower defense gameplay.
From the review: "The Steam community greenlit Excubitor—and it's apparent why. It's a fun and challenging tower defense game with a twist, steeping you in the action instead of having you just sit back and watching everything unfold."
