Community Insight:
This is one of the best tapping games we've ever played it's a good time killer for a long time and it's very addicting recommend it to all.
In its current state, the game does not save. This is also a game that heavily relies on saves. We give it a 1/5. However, minus the game crashing bug, we give this game a 5/5 and we think it deserves Editor's Choice as one of the best idle games on the App Store. Many people complain about it being an idle game, but that's like complaining that you have to shoot in a first person shooter. Magnificent game, however it is not worth playing until save bug is fixed. Final Review is 1 out of 5 stars.
We just want to say we love the game we been playing it for a few weeks but what we want are some daily challenges in the game so you can get gear faster.
Great to play while Battleborn is loading.
After spending however many hours on Tap Titans, Battleborn Tap is no different. But it's aesthetically Battleborn. So we love it.
Awesome to see a tap/idle game coming out of a company such as 2k. Love everything about this game. The only thing we wish it had was more things to buy with diamonds. For example in most clickers, you can buy in game gold (we think it's like 12 hours worth of idle gold for 100 diamonds is the general amount), reset skill cool downs, etc. Would love something like that in a future update.
Amazing love the game and love the app.
Fun idle game for sure. However, for the ignorants out there complaining about the heroes gathering gold even if the app is closed, you need to realize that that type of play style is supported by the genre of this game! It's and "idle upgrading" game. You're supposed to let it run, rack up gold, and then just upgrade to progress as fast as you can.
We're really enjoying the game. The only thing we're worried about is accidentally prestiging. We play with both thumbs and our big hands press the home button when we collect drops and almost end up accidentally prestiging.
This is hands down the most addicting game we have ever downloaded. We can't even tell you why it's good – it just is. We can play it for 30 seconds or ten minutes, it doesn't matter. You don't even have to be a fan of Battleborn – just TAP.
This game is very addicting and fun! We would recommend getting it.
We really adore how you can pick between different soldiers and they have their own special abilities. But we don't understand how to get to level one.
We love tapping games but this is Way differint Than most you have Battleborns To help you fight And there's items This game is so good we can't even Explain It.
Simple addicting game. Nothing too in depth to it, good for passing some spare time. Plus a free skin if you own the console game. Love it.
Do you like having lasers come out of your fingers when you tap your screen? Do you like killing endless waves of monsters? Do you play "clicker" type games? Do you like watching numbers go up? Do you like progressing offline/idle? Do you like the sweet art aesthetic of Battleborn? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you should check out this well polished time waster as soon as possible.
As a college student, we don't have time. This game plays itself and we can come and get more awesome upgrades.
Great game just like the xbox one version you have to play!!! Its a great time passer and you get gift for you system too thank u creators keep up the great work.
The game is simple and fun. If you're expecting a complicated game with a deep battle system this isn't it. This game is simple and fun. Can be played very effectively in small sessions without losing appeal. The fun comes from gaining a better understanding of resource management more than from the tapping itself.
Love the original game and the companion.
This game is the best we've played love it keep up the good work battle born the best….going to play some more.
Awesome game to play if can't actually get battle born . Fun and adventures game . Hope you buy it.
Pros -Orendi Skin -Great Game concept -Fully Voice Acted *when in reality they just use the base game voices -not a difficult game literally the title of the game is practically all you do TAP Cons -Game sorta plays by itself when you close the app -1/3 of the characters are not there as we're making this review, we would really want to see all the characters in this.
Loved the game so much on our iPhone but our iPhone 6 wasn't big enough for us to fit all of our fingers on so we started playing on our iPad. BIG MISTAKE! We got so into it and ended up smashing the screen from slapping it with all 10 fingers. We don't recommend doing this but overall a fun game.
Now we won't be away from this game. We can always carry it with us. Thanks Battleborn.
Battle born is good free skin is great too.
This game is crazy fun and addicting. We must get more prestige levels.
The talent at BeeSquare have managed to create a very fun, rewarding and awesome looking action clicker that also brings new ideas to the genre! Zero regrets.
Really fun tap game. Extra Battleborn mechanics are pretty neat too.
Love the game play and the art! If you like tap games you'll love this.
Had to change our 1st review. Originally gave it 1 star for the loss progress. Now at the game has been updated we don't notice any problems or bugs yet. Seems to work fine and is also fun to play if u like tap games. Woulda gave it 5 stars but some of the characters just get annoying when they say the same things over and over and over. Example, "we live again" by that mushroom head dude gets old fast, best to give him many hit points just so he stays alive lol. Overall this is a fun game and u should try it out for yourself:).
A lot of fun but we did notice some characters' in game models are inverted from their triple A counterparts, like Benedict and Melka are lefties in the mobile but aren't in the actual game. But that's just a small thing we saw.
It was a nice repetition quest for a while, hope they have a good idea as you continue playing it. If they do decide to add something new :D.
Really fun time waster till you beat it Also can't wait for deande to be in it.
While it gets old quick, it's still an amazing pass time if you have nothing else to do.
This game reset on us when we had prestige do about 4 times and unlocked multiple characters. We were unhappy about it but started again anyways. We're now pretty high level and have prestiged way more, but we still fear that it will all randomly get erased again. Looks like it's a big problem for people including our boyfriend. Please fix! Besides that, the game is fun and mindless.
All we want in future updates is add more of the characters.
We need something that'll keep us busy while our fighters are doing there thing. Why not pvp? Why not rankings in dps? Show us we can work together in guilds! Overall game is really fun. Excellent picture and sound.
Rath gets one shot by everything. All the other characters are not that weak by comparison. Other than that, we love it.
Its so much fun but it keeps deleting our save file.
This game is very easy to pick up and then 30mins later find yourself still taping away on the screen, however the game is a bit repetitive and isn't a challenge.
It just restarted our progress to The very beginning….not like a prestige cause we had prestiged and kept playing then it started aaaaall back over. Not cool….not cool.
Having so much fun in this game and even more so playing Battleborn on the Xbox One. Our only issue with this tap game is that it drains the battery so much even while it's plugged in.
The game is actually fun, a nice spin on the mindless tap games, but there is apparently a somewhat common glitch that will randomly reset your progress back to level 0, forcing you to restart the entire thing. Please fix.
Every time we exit the app and come back to it later it resets our game all the way back to the very begin every time with the tutorial every single time.
Been playing since launch. And today logged in all gone.
Whenever we try to connect the game with Shift, there is always an error. Can you try and fix it.
We like the game, but we often don't earn the rewards for extended time away.
We are enjoying this game and have reached level 145 but we've noticed some issues that should be fix, imo not working as intended. Double the power, seems to only work with abilities and not all damage we were taping at a target no one in the team was damaging and we were doing the same damage numbers. Double the shards don't seem to significantly add more shard drops and it definitely doesn't double the amount of shards per pick up. It is very grindy and after level 80 everything gets really expensive, and you are constantly working in a currency of shards two levels bellow of what you need to progress.
Well we got to prestige 3 and we had to go to a baseball game and all that. We come back to our iPod then we go to our favorite game at the moment and it reset so we're expecting a patch.
We really do like this game and we have had it since it came out but the reason we didnt give this 5 stars is because every time we get on the game it restarts our data. Please fix this we dont want to have to stop playing this game we think its really fun but that problem just takes away from the fun of trying to level up and see how far we can get. We were prestige 6 recently and we lost our data. Again, please try to fix this.
