Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Im enjoying this game. Its fast paced and theres a lot to do.
Really fun game. Its not play to win, like most other games with in-app purchases. We love the concept. Thanks, NK. Also, join our guild Team Pebbles. Btw, chat is fixed.
Decent game. Developers keep it up to date. However, way to many Ads. Please reduce ads.
Played this game late unfortunately. From what we can tell its just not playable at higher levels on iOS. One major component of the game seems to be potions, which arent included on iOS for some reason. We get them but have no way to use them. We see other players using them vs us in PvP Tower battles, and they seem to have powerful effects. So Im missing a key piece to help in Hero, Boss or PvP fights and have hit a major wall in upper 40s levels that has only gotten worse as we have reached level 50. As the game now goes to 55 we can only assume it gets worse.
Game cheats at 50 the AI has lvl 55 item and you can make it tell 55.
Pinshi juego ms pinchurruento, no tiene nada de interesante esta basofia de juego.
Been playing for over a year. Developers are very responsive. Great player interaction. Into our second year and the game was getting better. Then Chat broke and they cant seem to fix it. This guts the game. The Guild play and conversation with mates is what keeps you involved. Without it, its a time waster.
Ive had a blast with this game but one thing that irritates us is how when you shut off, the timer on things doesnt stay on while offline. For example, when we assign a hero to a heroic mission, no time passes when we log off. Another is crafting that this is a problem in. If you can fix that, then Ill be happy:).
A little glitchy plus it kicked us out every time we joined so we deleted the game and redownloaded it, it still didnt work.
After Tactical Heroes was shut down we had to find another game. This one isnt quite as good as that but so far Im having fun. Wish the battles were more involved, if not entirely turn-based.
Good game. We actually play it about once a day. But Ive gotta say that how you can spend a whole 6 minutes just trying to grind in one tower on the first floor and then lose last second makes it feel like our life is more of a waste of everything around us then it was before. And trust us when we say making us feel even more worthless then we already am is no easy task. So good game, Maybe do something about the unbalanced towers, not sure though, could just be us.
Let us start off by saying the game is a very good concept. The idea of characters fighting on their own but still being somewhat controlled by the player hasn't been explored very much, and this game does a great job of it. It is somewhat pay-to-win, but not nearly as much as other games on the market. Furthermore, the support staff are very kind, helpful, and especially prompt. The one time we had an issue, it was resolved within less than a day of our sending the support ticket. However, the one drawback of the game is the lack of new content. The last time an update did anything other than fix bugs was almost 6 months ago, and the same things get stale eventually. Some new heroes (not all epic ones, distributed across all the rarities) and missions being introduced would bump our rating up to 5 stars. Tl;dr: The title says it all.
Tower keepers is a fun game. It has a lot of similarities to DnD and medieval games witch is a lot of fun. It can keep you busy for hours for sure so if you need to kill time this can be one of the games to do it. The progression system isnt bad but they fault in this game is content. There isnt any new content and isnt been for over a year. Every week its the same thing over and over again when will we see new stuff maybe never and we believe that is what will kill it.
Every time we try to play this game it says to update our game client so we just reinstalled it but it still says to update our game client.
Played thru to level 50, and we had fun… But repeated requests to fix glitches that give computer generated PVP teams level 55 weapons vs our level 50 weapons have been ignored. We cant even get level 55 weapons until we generate another 500,000ish experience points. Wasting your time trying to play through the most effective way to garner battle chests.
We've played a lot of mobile games. We have searched for one that we can play for long periods of time or just in between our day to day activities, and this game does just that. When we encountered the, "loss of progress bug". We were contacted within 2 days and compensated for our losses via in game mail. Responsive and helpful game developers is a huge plus for mobile games. We've spent some money on the app in the store and it has been well worth it. Happy to support the devs for the game. Hopefully more content and depth will be added soon. Either way, love the game.
It's a good game but use a little more action instead of watching your characters do everything for you.
Needs more active people but the artwork is excellent. A bit of a grind but some decent fun can be had.
Still a new game so theres not too much content but it seems like it will grow very well.
Nice app with multiple play options.
The gameplay is fine. The issue is the game will randomly lose your progress. You play for awhile, then come back later in the day and everything you did is gone. Incredibly frustrating. Even using the "backup data" button doesn't help.
Played the game for 5 minutes the first time logging in had to wait for the stupid stuff to download. Then played and it literally does everything for you. Doesn't look like there's anything we can actually control.
Wonderful game however, please allow us from kongregate to link our accounts.
The amount of in game ads makes this unbearable. No option to pay and eliminate ads. Bye.
We love this game by Ninja Kiwi, pretty addictive, but it's kinda like Dragonsoul.
This game should have more downloads.
It's a decent game, but we recently went to the newest IOS and have started having issues. 1) we have started having game crashes a few times every day. 2) we sometimes will play for a few hours then come back to find that the game didn't save our progress, so we have then wasted a bunch time on the game without progressing at all. It is really annoying when the game decides to rewind to before we unlocked a hero or before we put our heroes in the tower.
Like others have said it is a good fun game but it has its downfalls like any other pay to win. As of right now the current state of the game is to get as much money out of every possible player because of dying player amount the game will soon be dead. We wrote this review after deciding to start our game over and then getting ads even though we made a purchase to remove them.
Good game love the auto fight the heroes are great good data.
Real time RPG where your squad auto-attacks a target you designate while you're responsible for activating some specific abilities. Plenty of ways to play, from single player story to guild activities to pvp battle towers to weekly events and quests. There are decent skill and gear customization options including a crafting system. Combat/skill system is nuanced enough that tactics are important. Solid game overall, though it still has some annoying ads and timers, and we can see the top end being sort of pay to win (only downloaded the app about a week ago, but this is pretty much every game of this type. You can still enjoy the game without paying as we have.) What tipped our rating to 5 stars though was the way customer service handled an issue we had. We lost a day or so of progress due to a bug where our content didn't save. Our support ticket was handled same day and the rare character we unlocked in that time was gifted back to our account. They even threw in some bonus goodies for the inconvenience. They treat their players right, so we have no problem giving a 5 star rating. By the way, there's s manual save option in the settings menu. Will be using it in the future.
Dear developers, well done on this game. We like the storyline and enjoy the overall game. We enjoy the satisfaction of getting new heroes and upgrading them. So far it has all in all been great. Please Reply To This – If our game crashes a lot is there anything we can do to help with it? If not tell us please.
First off, update ideas: Actually get to wear the armor as a skin. Lower crafting cost for top tier weapons. Add a still shot story mode(like a few cool pages of artwork to tell each character story). A character lobby for guilds. More presentation like a Royal King/Queen presenting the events or saying a voice queue for leveling up and whatnot. Event armor and weapons. As you can see we really love this game and only want it to get better. Review: Fun to level up characters. A good campaign but really stalls you around level 22 and becomes a grind. You're most likely gonna have to spend real life money to advance at a good pace(we did) but not too much. Pretty addictive and you always wanna upgrade your skills. Strategy plays a big part once you're around level 28 and makes the game fun again once you figure out a good one. Overall it's fun but just needs more to do and a way to advance without spending around $50 lol.
The game has good structure yet you can't actually battle just use power ups and when your hero goes on a mission you can't use him…. Other have said you need money to play we don't believe that is the case you can play just fine with out money yet just like any other game like this those with money will have extra things like armor and power ups. This game has a lot of things to do unlike other games that only has one objective. Overall we would say it is a great game but can use some upgrades in the future! We have not lost our progress yet but if we do we will be sure to let everyone know.
Love the game but we don't like losing our progress every couple days. Very annoying. Even after the recent patch we still continue to lose progress. Fix your game please.
Very much P2W, BUT there is a lot of stuff to do there that is fun. Around level 25-30 this game slows down a lot unless you want to spend $$. It's cute and charming, a more animated version of Star Wars heroes. Our biggest issue at the moment is the user interface is lacking a BIG need: ability to disband a guild. We created a guild months ago. Now no one is in it and we would like to join a friend's guild but we can't because it is impossible to disband ur own guild. Kiwi customer was very helpful and confirmed this was true (after first incorrectly telling us otherwise). Again, at this point the perks of being in an active guild are SO big that we'd rather play something else Than play this with a handicap due to incomplete programming considerations.
Love getting matched against the same top 10 user over and over again? Love losing your progress every few days? Love having your game constantly just shut down for no reason? Then, our man, this is the game for you. Starts out fun, but once you reach a certain level it's impossible unless you're willing to shell out big bucks. Same basic missions over and over to grind out items that don't help at all. Of course, the items you do need to succeed are available…for a price. Response to Ninja Kiwi: Try challenging the Wizards Chosen at level 50 or above without having $$$ invested. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! No matter, we don't care what you do. The game is being removed from our IPad. We find hard to believe we'll waste our time with another one of your games.
We have experienced data lost all the time and they never fixed. We have contacted the customer service for at least 10 times. They never sorted out for us. Not only we lost the game progress, which is annoying and time waste, we also lost all the purchases in the game. This game is totally wasting your time. Please stay away.
Typical pay to play game, only the top 1% or big spenders will actually enjoy this game. Not to mention that the game always glitches and you lose your data. Today was the final straw, the game crashed and we lost the last 24 hours of progress. Deleted. Really disappointed Ninja Kiwi couldn't get it together with this game. On a side note – their support staff is a joke, very generic with responses and not helpful at all.
They did an update to prevent lost progress and now it is worse than ever.
First let us say this game started out as a great game with smooth gameplay and tons of potential. Unfortunately as time and updates went by, it became laggy, crashy, often errors and won't load when attempting to access guild chat, the pvp matching is extremely unbalanced, sometimes will not load your previous progress upon startup, and the ios version gets updates weeks after android. It is clear the devs have little concern for maintaining or fixing bugs in the app and particularly for ios users who they really don't care about, we advise staying away. Edit: To the DEV response: You didn't deny or address any of the major bugs your app has, you merely talked about the delayed ios update being "out of your control". Meanwhile the app is worse than ever with constant lag, d/c while winning pvp matches, load errors, ridiculous store prices, chat errors, etc. Your company is a joke.
The game is very laggish after the new update. VERY ANNOYING. Please fix it.. Everything freezes when u click on something for like a second or so before going on :(.
Simple, fun, free if you want. After all the hours we've played now we're going to buy some type of pack to support the game developers.
Every aspect of this game is great along with the leveling system etc Must download ! No glitches or anything on the iPhone 7 plus as well ! Smooth gameplay ! Pvp is one of a kind.
Good game with a lot of characters, weapons and skills.
The game is really fun and you don't have to pay to enjoy it.
Fun game, just enough pve to get prepped for pvp. Pvp is very much focused on how you put your characters together.
It's a fun game but the adds you are forced to watch are annoying.
Why does it take several weeks for iOS to get the update while android users have had it for weeks.
Decent game crashes A LOT on iPad. Also made an in game purchase and since then the game has been glitched for a week, cannot access pvp, guild, or tower which is half the game. After submitting a ticket we got a quick reply within 2 hours and our ticket was "closed and merged into this request" (whatever that means) then we didn't hear back for about 4 days. Slow communication issue still not resolved and issues have always been there. But tight game if it worked and the customer service was a little better.
Asking to update client, which it takes you to the app store, but no update available! Please sort out.
