Gravity Falls Mystery Shack Attack is a tower defense game set in the world of the "Disney Channel Original Series: Gravity Falls". In the game, players are asked to defend several landmarks of Gravity Falls from attacks by supernatural creatures by building and using traps, defenses, and weapons. The result of this is a charming, fun, but all-too-familiar experience, regardless of whether players are acquainted with Gravity Falls or not.
Shack Attack begins with a small, tutorialized exposition that gives players the narrative setup for the game. The antagonistic Li'l Gideon has unleashed minions from the "Great Beyond" to scare main characters Dipper, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan out of town. In response, the three heroes rigged together defenses from objects within the Mystery Shack that players must place strategically to defeat zombies, bats, and other monstrosities as they attempt to overrun one of five distinct locations.
Perhaps the best thing about Shack Attack is that it is very accessible. Players who find themselves in trouble can unleash super moves that clear areas of enemies, and useful on-screen indicators show when enemies are coming from out of view. Even upon failing a level players can also spend money earned in the game to upgrade their arsenal before retrying. Beyond this though, players should not expect much other than familiar-feeling tower defense gameplay.
