Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
10NetEase we played this game when we were 12. Now we are working in Netease, a game company. We are going to create another project like this, since it has been parts of our great childhood memories.
We have old version on our kindle been looking for this game on iPad for years ! Please add this game on Amazon and google play.
So good game we like game so wonderful.
The intro gives good directions and it is fun for the kids.
We honestly love this game its a great time passer. Story is interesting and mechanics are good. We wish we could get the gems faster and maybe a few more weapons. Other then that fun game.
Kind of like dungeon defenders but tower locations are fixed. You upgrade the elemental weapons and towers and find eggs to hatch for a pet. The pet levels as it stays with you.
The graphics are amazing. Game is fun to play. Overall, a great game to play and take a break from all the other stuff in life:).
The ads are way too frequent. Every other tap, you get interrupted by an ad and there are no labeled ad removal purchases.
A must get, especially for killing a lot of time.
A very fun game to blow time into.
Won't let us transfer our data from our old iPhone 5s to our new iPhone 7 via iCloud.
Game is similar to a hack n slash style game with a tower defense aspect to it. It's pretty incredible.
The game is a good tower defense. No servers needed.
We love this game need more magic spells.
This is a most excellent game out how to recommend it to anyone who has time to play it we can say that we've wasted many hours playing this game and we have thoroughly enjoyed it.
We love tower defense games and this is one of our favorite games. However, we no longer get our daily gift.
Not amazing but really fun and nice way to kill time.
Love the game, think it just needs more champs and maybe be able to get armor for the champs aswell. The bug we found is every so often when we tab to the menu where you buy items and upgrade them, it glitches to where we can't press on anything in the shop, all we do is reset the game and it's fixed but would be nice no to have to reset it every 15-20 mins.
Its like tower defense but a bit different (:.
Woulda been 5 but there are a few glitches need looked at. The beginning if you get ahead of the tutorial it will get stuck and u have to exit and reopen app.
It's really bugs us that there is such improper grammar in the game. Makes you less interested in the game and we can't take it seriously.
The title of this game is slightly misleading. We wouldn't quite classify this as a traditional "tower defense" game, because most of the things you upgrade deal with your character, rather than the towers. We do, however, enjoy this game so far. While there isn't much required for strategy (thus far), it's interesting to run around and fight the "invaders" ourselves. Of course, every game has its faults. The most obvious issue is the broken English. It was clearly translated with some online translator, and takes a bit of effort to decipher at points. Another issue (though we don't really have a problem with it) is that you can easily watch 10-15 videos in a row to get free gold/diamonds. While it's fun to exploit this, we think the developer should consider putting a longer/more strict cooldown on the amount of videos available at a time. All in all, it's a pretty fun game if you aren't too bothered by the poor grammar/word choice. We would recommend this game if you like tower defense games with a little more player engagement. UPDATE So after playing a while longer, we've noticed a HUGE jump in difficulty once you reach the mines. We're not sure if we're just bad (although that is possible), or if the game really is just a lot more difficult at that point. We still think the game is good, but we're sorta stuck because getting upgrades to weapons, towers, and the character/crystal takes a lot of time. We don't recommend this game if you just want to kill a little time, but if you're willing to put in effort, this could be quite the game for you.
Just started and it's fun and simple.
Smooth graphics and pretty straight forward. We did notice the game got stuck because we equipped a wand before it told us to, though.
Fun game. A little difficult from the get go.
Haven't played much, but seems like a fun game so far.
We just started playing and it seems like a cool game. Haven't had any problems yet.
Just started the game and gameplay is awesome for a iPhone app.
Been playing the basic tower defense games lately. This one has been refreshing.
This game gives a unique twist of an RPG level-up element combined with a TD game. You can choose a spell-caster or hand-combat weapon style hero to defend. Great graphics and fluid gameplay! Try it.
Great game.. Simple &fun easy Controls.
Kills time and 5 crystals for review.
Title states it. Unique tower defense game.
Leaving aside some spelling and grammar goofs, this is a really fun game. Not a standard "build the towers and hope for the best" type, you also control a hero who levels up RPG style. Ads are few and far between (usually just at the end of a level), so not enough to distract too much from the game. We can honestly say we recommend this. 4 stars just for the odd reading of the storyline.
Not sure yet. Reviewing for in game currency.
Good for a time killer not that great but not bad.
Only had a few days, but like the RPG/TD mix.
The game looks decent. The mechanics are a touch too easy/loose. The adds will get annoying. Over all though, not bad.
Overall, relatively easy and fun. Needs a person who speaks English first and foremost to check for typos and grammar errors.
Making another one part with more defender and witch.
Fun game good for young adults.
Great game. The only thing we don't like is you have to build your towers on certain spots. Other than that very cool game.
It would be better if u could play with friends but its good.
It actually is a pretty good game to play.
We've never played a tower defense game quite like this one. Very refreshing.
We enjoyed playing it and we just love it, thank you.
This is a fun game. Can't wait to finish it.
We're liking this game so far. We think it looks nice, has some well thought out features, and a good upgrade system.
So good game ever play in td games.
Good game easy to play very fun.
