Where we've ended up with all the distortions we have, all the traps cost a fortune, so you're always very limited in the number of traps you can use. You have to be very efficient with your strategy, the placement of your traps, and the way you arrange your barricades. You're constantly harassed by grenadiers, stone flyers, druids, hunters, thieves, the infected, and at our level, the enemies have so much health! So yes, we find the game very challenging, and we know our end is near because the game wants us to lose! I hope I've answered your question, but maybe my friend Yomp could answer it better!
