Community Insight:
We always loved this type of defense game so fat im stage 45 and loving it as of now have no complaints. Keep up the good work.
Out of the many mobile games that are on here this is one of the couple games that are good. It is like battle cats but just as good in our opinion. We have played many game like this (we dont know what category of games this would be in) but they are bad and just come out of the wood work. This game and battle cats (you should also try battle cats if you like this game) are really good and you should try it.
So we love this game alot. We love variety in this game. We love the maps and events and stuff to do. Awesome unique abilities. But we will REQUEST RANKED PVP. We WILL PAY U HUNDREDS. Pls just add pvp or ranked pvp maybe even team battles and clans. We need to talk and interact with players. Other than that amazing.
There are a lot of updates that keep it fresh and many new challenges.
We dont even know where to start cuz theres so many compliments to this game Let us say amaziiiing design and battle effects Amazing dynamics Totally f2p game by a huuuge gap compared to other f2p games You can literally get 600 gems and even more daily and let us tell you that each 11 draw costs 2100 in discount so its so many gems you can get in a day Just download this game and we swear you gonna love it.
We know many people say this is a rip off of battle cats. Even if it was true, it is a better version. The reason is due to the amount of rewards that free to play players can amass in a week. We didnt have to spend a single dime and we have reached ep 11 within 3 weeks. Maybe we were lucky than most but there are many events that are generous to new players. Compared to battle cats where losing a battle meant consumed resources which felt frustrating to go through. Elroi allows you to keep resources in defeated battles which is a good way to experiment with teams and try against with more confidence.
Combat is fun, strategic, and fast paced. You can progress, and get nice characters FTP at a good pace, which is rare these days. A keeper for sure.
Really fun and good u should play.
This game is the best game battles good we just love this game we dont know how to say how much we love it.
Make a enemy info page to see all there stats and abilities. We would really love to see that in the game so please add it.
Ive played 100s of mobile games and Would have to say this is one of the better ones ive ever played. Refreshing, Easy to learn, a lot to do, tons of customization. Unique graphics and style. Very well done and we normally dont play this genre. The cons though… ADS! Be prepared. There are a lot of ads and were not talking 15 second ads. Were talking 1 minute ads. Longest ads ive seen in a game and we cant say ive played a game that was more reliant on watching ads for progression. You dont have to watch the ads but…you have to watch the ads. If you want to unlock relic passive bonuses you have to watch ads or pay 26$ for some gems and to get no more ads. Looking through the shop this isnt the cheapest game. Its heroes (best fighters) are about 25$ each. Theres really no explanations or tutorials. Theres not a lot of tooltips either. You just have to explore menus and kind of learn on your own. Early on youre basically just throwing your team out there with no idea whats going on. If youre a free to play player we would say be ready to grind and watch ads. If youre a low spender its about the same. If you have 26$ for no more ads than you just found a GREAT game and honestly these guys deserve the 26$ for the game.
We have played every type of siege game out there and this one is by far the most in depth of its kind and fun. The only thing we dont like is having to collect our rewards twice, that is what gives it 4 stars.
Hello, first of all, this is a very good game. However, it still has many drawbacks. 1. The companion from Novice to Hero is too similar. Skills are too similar and there is no difference between Novice and Hero. Some pretty weak Heroes can only be decorated: ((( 2. No chat and friends function. (Big minus point). 3. The repeat dungeons, no difference. So is the events. Etc. For the game to evolve, the publisher needs to do a lot of work. If you pay attention to these things, game of the year is going to be this game =)). 1. Need to have chat feature, friends. This is the basic function of all online games. Otherwise you will feel like playing game alone. And this is pretty bad. 2. Heroes should have their own characteristics. It could be an effect or a special ability. 3. Should renew the events, increase the teamwork in the game. We have been playing for quite a while, and notice events such as attacking a dungeon. Events are where developers come up with their ideas, so don't get stuck in the old. 4. Should have rankings. For example, the team's total attack ranking, companion attack rankings … This is also a feature that should have, it will be the motivation to motivate players. 5. Needs more events to earn ruby. Not much, but there must be. We played for over a year and haven't had a ruby yet; ((. We wrote quite long but we hope you understand, This is a good game so we don't want it to die. If so that does not change. The death game will be coming soon.
We can see no legitimate reason a game should be pasting data from anywhere else, ever. 1 star and an instant uninstall for us.
The game with out guild no more fun.
We just enjoy it so far. Good time.
The game is fun, but we have no idea what some things mean, like the Heavy Strike character trait. Please, if anyone knows, tell us.
Almost 30$ to turn that off, insane.
Too many ads, and too much money to get rid of them. 4.8 rating seems a little high… But this is a Google play game. We did like the unique characters and artwork. Game visual effects were blah. Gameplay was okay, it didnt really seem well balanced.
We WAS PLAYING AND SAVING UP GEMS AND we USED THEM ON THE 10 SPINS AND we GOT THIS REALLY POWERFUL SKELETON BUT HE GOT TURNED INTO A GEM BECAUSE we HAD THE WAY WEAKER VERSION OF HIM SO IT COUNTED AS we ALREADY HAD HIM!!!! We COULDVE GOTTEN THE EVOLVED VERSION OF HIM BUT HE BECAME A FILTHY GEM BECAUSE we HAD THE WEAK VERSION OF HIM.
Dont get us wrong the game is good, but theres a huge problem with it. They have ads running after 6 battles. We get youre trying to earn money through ads, but you should be more considerate on the players. But instead to cancel the Ads youll have to purchase $30 worth of gems which is absolutely pathetic.
Pretty good. This game makes you think more than the other games.
We like the game we bet it has more than 1000 lvls ima try to beat all of the lvls. And please make more lvls in the future we like gaming. Also GET THE CHRISTMAS SEASON UP ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS.
When we saw the add of this we thought wow l gotta check it out and any bad reviews those people are dum this a good game no lies at all and anyway this a good game and everyone reading this give it 5stars and a good review.
No ads feel great, expensive but worth it.
This game is a joke, you spend double/triple the time to watch ads then auto battle a level. And then you are expected to spend about $30 to remove the ads, epic fail.
This is just a ripoff of battle cats.
The game is a bit buggy but it is still enjoyable nonetheless. We dont care if its the same as the other game, we play it cause its fun. Thats all.
Its a fun Defense game if you can play a game with artwork from Lord of Dungeon.
Very fun strategy game with tons of units. Needs to have a guide added though, not easy to tell what most of the items do until you randomly click the right button. Lots of icons on stages but no info on what they mean. Also hard to tell what makes one unit different from another without adding them to your team and trying them out. Some of the units take stupid high amounts of resources to call in battle, but are they any better than the ones that cost lower amounts? It is hard to tell. Other than that, lots of events and different rewards to go around.
Havent gotten very far yet. But so far its fun.
The game is really fun with simple mechanics but potential for a lot of strategy. Our only complaint is the relic rewards being very random instead of performance based. Id also like to see better description for units. Some units have aoe attacks and you cant know until you use them in battle. We havent spent any money yet because the packages are extremely generic. Id like to see more specific packs before making purchases. Summoning rates are good and the progression other than above mentioned relics is very fun and does make us want to progress further.
Game with lots of constant events and very free to play. Fun little time killer for when your bored or want to progress.
