Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a super fun game, great time killer.
What a great game!!! Fun! We hope the devs continue to update the game and expand the community. 5+ stars! Download it, you wont regret it.
We have had this game across a couple devices for a few years now. It is super fun to play, especially with online multiplayer! We highly recommend this game if you are into simple but challenging strategy.
Update fixed the score. Great game of pure strategy. No insults just gameplay. Be fast. Attacks zeros first. Good luck.
Fun enough for this sort of genre, but quickly descends into a grind to get coins so you can upgrade. We tend to be good at these games but couldnt get past level 22 and 23 without some serious grinding. At that point, the AI opponent is just flying through attacks, while the human interface really shows its failings – frequently, selected attacks dont register, hidnering the player's ability to defend and counter-attack.
We wrote a whole review but accidentally deleted it- If you have the win a level within 40 seconds mission, it will still give you the prize, even if you lose a game within 40 seconds. Otherwise, Great game.
Wish there was more strategy and decision makeing but overall we love it.
Love the game, but the levels get really hard really fast and you dont get enough gold to upgrade. It very quickly becomes impossible to beat and then we get rid of the game a day or so later. Unlike most games the reset doesnt make it easier to make gold so its kind of pointless.
The concept is good but the single player is weird. All the AI works together against you instead of against each other.
Great time killer! Like the ability to earn coins via watching adds. Rating mainly based on in-app games that fail to load and crash the app.
When you get to challenge 30, basically its unbeatable. We watched a lot of ridiculous ads to get there. We maxed out everything except for the genetic upgrades on the second page. Then we had to keep leveling up in order to use the gold we now have an abundance of. So we have to beat the same levels over and over and over just to get 2% increase in speed, for instance. And we still cant beat level 30. It would only take like 1 month of testing for the developers to figure this out.
It has to many pop up ads in between lvls.
There are players who have hacked the game. They are able to block you from doing anything in a multiplayer game.
Great game that is super fun to play. The developers ruined it with their greedy pay to play BS. Screw you.
The game mechanics are pretty solid, and the first 15-20 levels are pretty easy to get through with good strategy and upgrades. But after that you NEED to be watching ads to get the extra coins to level up. And even then it takes 20 minutes of ad watching to level up enough to beat a single level. No thanks.
The game is horrible it is the worst game we played DONT DOWNLOAD IT.
Are we supposed to be watching adds or playing a game.
What happened to levels after 40 we love this game but we want to play more levels!! We give u 1 star because we cant get pass level 40.
Game needs updating, purchased the Remove Ads and every few levels it still stops to insert a video advertisement.
It only lags when we start making a bunch of viruses. Maybe you could make a sequel that is more complex and you can have multiple viruses in one cell, & if the higher attack they have the more they deplete enemies.
We think we all know why we're writing this (free coin hype).
Amazing game but it could use some work.
We've played this game and we love it. It's like a simple yet very fun game.
We love how this game is not totally ruined by in app purchase requirements.
We want five hundred coins so yes.
Very good game, keeps us entertained for hours.
Fun game to keep us entertained.
Plays well and is fluid and easy to pick up, looks good too. Love games like these and this one has more of a variety and upgrades.
We love this app, it is one of the most fun apps we have ever owned. If you don't have it yet, get it!! It is really, really fun, and we haven't found a single bug in the three months we have owned it.
Love any and all strategy based games and this one is truly a great one.
Doing this for coins but still fun.
We love this game and we're just getting our coins but also very fun pls get!!!!!! Easy for the young.
They want to force you to pay for stuff but other than that it's fun.
Passes the time when we need it to.
It is a great game, although when your just playing through lvls, it might glitch and the game freezes.
Not too shabby. Wish the achievements saved and told you what they were for.
We typed up a whole review, but it got lost. Great game, but glitches after you beat a level and you have to force close. Would be 5 stars without glitch.
This game is really fun, and exiting for the skilled players.
Fun addicting game. Like many games the ads are annoying. Other than that we love this game.
Visuals could be better, Virus should be more customizable. Other than that.
Cool concept but is still unrefined.
We loooove this game. It is addictive. It is very entertaining. But it freezes a lot, for this reason we took off 2 stars. When we pass a level that we had previously played, where you see your score, we hit next, and it blinks, then it stays on the score screen. It won't go let us do anything. We touch the options but they don't do anything. We need to close the game to get it working again. It also should say the level number on the score screen, because if it gets frozen, you'll know which was the level you were playing.
Game freezes after several rounds. Other than that it's awesome.
The game is somewhat enjoyable but quickly becomes a cash grab the levels ramp up after a certain point and the coins you get for completing a level aren't adequate enough to upgrade yourself to keep winning so they try to force you to use money to buy coins.
Does not remove ads when purchased.
We paid 1.99 for not having ads and the ads keep showing up all the time! It's a great game but we really can't get behind being ripped off. We're willing to change our rating if this is fixed.
We think this is a pretty good game we could get on board with. Anyone who played Auralux we think this is similar but a faster pace. We've played it for a couple days and liked it enough to pay to remove the annoying ads. And THERE is where our problem lies. We STILL get ads. It does seem to have FEWER ADS but that is NOT what we paid for. You'd get more stars for the merit of the game but have lost significant support because of can be seen as straight up fraudulent charges. SERIOUS issue here.
This is fun game and awesome concept unfortunately it is not capable of allowing one for uninterrupted game play we do two matches and boom AD $2 for nothing we hope they fix this.
We paid to remove ads, but we still get ads. Pretty annoying.
Spent money to remove ads, and we're still getting ads. There's no way to get customer support so we can't get help. So, here's our review.
