Community Insight:
A bit ago, the helpers were absolutely stupid and glitchy, now, they arent, THANK YOU. Secondly, pretty difficult, but that is our problem, thirdly, the soldiers are useless and die way too quickly.
Im all for free games and Im glad this is pay to win or anything unreasonable like a gacha system. BUT. Putting ads at the bottom of the screen that refresh AT LEAST every 5 seconds is unreasonable and looks like it is greatly hurting the frame rate. On top of this, it sometimes puts up an ad right when Im in a dungeon or out with a lot of money, and then we get clapped as we lag back into the game, which kills us. We do like that you can get weapons in dungeons, but Im not sure you can redo the dungeons in case you couldnt get the weapon, or at least we dont know how to. In short: dev needs to fix ad system to be less intrusive on basic gameplay and fix gameplay objects glitching out in base. If youre thinking of playing, download it and have some fun if you dont mind ads.
We bought to not have ads but we still have it with ads they should solve that problem but it's enjoyable.
Most of the levels freeze making you have to restart the app and it instantly starts you in the next dungeon, leading you to bypass mostly all the levels. Also your pink gem ours has no storage so your miners just stand idle after they collected the gems. As well as the soldiers are no match for the new enemies. Just informing everyone and the devs that its a rough ride for now.
We paid appx. $3 but still see abs.
Fun but spent the money for no adds and their are still adds. Please fix or refund.
Some of the ads with playable games end up glitching and wont let you close them out. Meaning you have to close out the app and restart.
We just downloaded this new game for our iPad when we went in to see if we need to delete it or not it only popped up with the loading screen please fix.
Got to base 9 then started lagging unplayable.
The game gets interrupted right away with a 60-80 second commercial. Also seems too involved. We escape work to play games. We'd rather not have to work in a game, too.
This game has way to much ads, some even kill us (in game) when we close the ad we end up in a huge horde without anything to do. This wasnt much of a problem at first but with how much ads there are its a big one. Plus the workers for the turrets WASTE SO MUCH AMMO And the workers are so slow and dont even carry that much. The game always glitches so then none of the workers move the we have to replay at a long waiting screen. This game is basically pay to win and we see people doing a lot better paying for no ads. And the soldiers always glitch. They only worked this first time. Please fix this. Thats all from us.
Our only review is that there are only fifteen levels and it makes the game really boring when youre at level 15 just please add new levels and possibly add more mobs we rated 5 stars to get youre attention but its 3 just because of those things overall its a great game and really fun but please add new levels if you did that would be a solid 5 star game.
We like this game but we have been playing the same levels for a while now can we get new levels.
Needs way more than 15 levels, Ive been done with the games progress for like 7 months now so yeah nothing left to do just a heads up of anyone thinks this is a long game.
We did kind of liked this game until we realized that you need a internet connection to play..this is single player, and the reason why you need a internet connection is so they can give you more ads that come every minute or so.
This payment model doesnt make sense.
If you like simulator / tycoon games then Id recommend this game.
Good game but way to many ads like every 30 second theres an add.
The ads are overwhelming! Excessive to be honest. Dont pay to remove ads as this only remove ads pop ups during the middle of game play. Youll notice every level will follow up with more ads. Its never ending! It feels like your playing for ads. This is pure greed by the game designer! This hinders the experience tremendously as this is actually a good game with a great concept! DELETED.
We deleted this game once we see an ad.
Paid for the no add and still getting ads.
Its good but needs more than 15 levels.
We are currently on base 15 but there is no boss to beat to keep moving on. So all you can do is keep killing the zombies and collecting money. The game has been up until this point.
Its a good game we like the concept but we feel there are to many ads when we go upgrade something it gives us a ad every time so it takes forever to get to new bases.
We think we like the game so simple and fun..but there is no sound.
Whats next Ive gotten to level 15 and thats seems to be the end. Is there going to be any more levels.
We made it base 15 and is that the end of the game? Im so confused.
The game seemed pretty cool. As soon as we paid for no ads the game started freezing and locked us out.
Im already on base three. This game is one of the best phone games we have played idle wise. It gets us through boredom and it gets our mind off of work. We have a lot of patience, but ads just keep popping up when we want to upgrade and stuff. Granted you have to keep farming and the other option is to buy with the in game cash but the other option is to watch ads and we bought the no-ads but for what? Im starting to think that theres false advertisement. Fun game though.
This is not funny. We paid the 2.99 to remove ads and after we reached level 3, the game is asking us to pay again! Im really not sure if this is being done on purpose, but we really feel cheated and you all NEED TO FIX THIS!!! UPDATE: we had to delete the game and reinstall it to for it to show that we paid for the game. It was pretty annoying losing all that progress, Ill bump our review up to 3 stars.
Like the game, its great when you need a break from the keyboard and just do something fun. Our ire with the game is we have No Sound Fx, No music and No vibration which doesnt matter. Now we paid for No Ads and to our Dismay what do we have to continually watch? Ads! Tried the turn off & on, then update and forget tapping restore purchases, That doesnt work either. Otherwise Its fun if you have the need to Defend you Base.
The game still have adds. We paid for no adds and it still have adds. That called false advertising. We will ask for our money back.
Not bad but its all adds everywhere we look.
It is very relaxing and satisfying for us. We could play all day, we paid for no ads and reached the end of the game within a few days, with something so repetitive you think they can repeat it for a few more levels, keep it going guys!!!! We loved it. But we are quite disappointed it doesnt continue.
This game advertises no ads thats definitely a lie ads showed up within 1 minute into the game.
Theyre ad from another game claimed this game had no ads. With low expectations, we figured Id give em a shot, and to no ones surprise, ad bombardement.
We get it ads are there for u to make money. But dont let ad control this dam game, every minute a pop ip of ads come about. Annoying! Will definitely delete game after this comment.
Game is a huge time sink. That or watch all the ads. If this game wasnt so predatory in its design the gameplay could be fun. Dont even bother playing this one.
We love this game, has an option for no ads, the ads arent overwhelming if you do not want to pay for no ads. The concept of the game is fun. We have only gotten up to base 3 so far. We noticed theres no audio in the game – some audio would make it a bit more fun for us. Also, if we unlock a few barriers in a base, but have to close the app, it does not save our progress. It will only save the fact that im at base 3. A save your progress feature would be nice too so we dont have to constantly re-do the whole base.
Forcing people to pay is getting ridiculous, we understand yal need to make money but at least give us 30 min of no ads so we can see how it is first. Ive watched more ads than playing your game.
Decent game but freezes up like crazy. Didnt even keep for 2 hours.
In order to progress within the game, you have to constantly watch ads even if you purchase add free, you still have to watch ads in order to progress in the game. Its an absolutely set time and waste of money. Its a serious disappointment because the game itself has plenty of potential but theres no point in giving the option to pay for ad free if youre still going to force players to watch the ads in order to progress in the game.
Paid for ad blocker and still forced to watch ads.
The game has a lot of potential, its fun but gets extremely repetitive after a few levels, if there was a greater variety opponents and features you could add to your base we think it would be a really good game. Also expect ads about every 3 mins or so (There is an option to purchase no ads).
For us the game glitches out when we watch a add it just freezes and we have to close the game and rewatch the add again.
Its a fun time water but way to many ads.
TO MUCH ADS SO THIS IS WHY THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER.
Spent about 2 minute enjoying the game, and probably 10 minutes watching slot machine ads, then asked for $3 to remove ads. No thank you, Id rather just uninstall and find a real game.
Great game but when you get full ammo sometimes it glitches out of the 2 by 2 please fix.
We normally dont write reviews for games but this just struck a nerve a little. While playing this game you are offered to pay to remove ads, so after playing for a little while we decided sure this game is fun. And guess what, still ads everywhere.. So what did we purchase exactly.
