Community Insight:
Awesome but make the full thing cheaper.
First of all just why does the real game even cost money its really not fair make it free. New block ideas: like a new category like friendly ai bots and spawners. Friendly ai types: melle ones with ethier hammers knifes or swords they could be with shields. Ranged ones like snipers shoot far are good with sniper towers do at least 50 to 40 damage. Shotgunners damage depends on how far or close they are to their enemys use them to distract enemys. Rocket ones do massive damage in an area but sadly they reaload slow like 50 seconds. Also about the spawners: they cost a lot but are really helpful you also get to change what unit they spawn by selecting them or just click spawn random units. Unit names up to you developer! Also make it in the free version so it saves pls. Edited part one year after: what the heck. How havent you replied yet? Ok fine 0 STAR! Future us here, this was stupid and we regret it 4 years later. We got the real one a year after that anyway, so.
Im not one of those fake review writers from the game.. Just saying so people dont think Im a boy, so this game is so good u can prettty much do anything to ur base in sandbox but survivAl its not bad its almost as good as sandbox but more challenging and interesting to play, the only thing we hate about it is the night goblins even though we put on those lights to spot them at night and to spot other goblins our defenses barely take them out, so we always try to set it at daytime every time it turns night so we dont get destroyed unnoticed.. But overall its the best defensive game Ive ever played!! We totally recommend this to people who love building and defensive games. Please TRY.
Used to play this game a while back and we got empires and we wasnt rly feeling it Bc empires kinda ruins the building part but its good with combat so we downloaded this again and they removed more stuff for lite but ig it makes sense. Ima def try to buy full version and in conclusion ur games r good :).
Love this game but when we saw it wasnt updated In 4 YEARS!!! We cringed.
We have the full version but for some reason the data here saves. We dont have to worry about leaving the app and losing data for example. Lvl 1 to 15 take a break and come back, back to lvl 1…bruh srsly. This is the best demo of the game its weird how we rated the full version 4 stars im kinda dissapointed. Idk why but the full version ripped us off when we bought all robots for 3.99 we swipe the app afterwards and came back all of them were locked. We wish we can get refunds but…. We have a lot of money so … Oh well.
It says u can do multiplayer up to four players but there is no such thing as multiplayer in the game we looked and looked but it was impossible to find the multi player button or mode we looked in quick start survival front menu even in game But zero luck finding anything that has to do with multiplayer.
We played this game ever since we were little it was fun! And we still love it, and now Im planning to get blockfortress:war.
Just worth it and SUPER FUN LIT FAM LIT CHECK OUT SSUNDEE. AND CRAINER.
We love this game soooooooooo much!!! You should rate it 1000000000000stars.
Cover your Badraks with grassBecause they cannot attend the grass.
There is not better game on phone.
We love what a great fun time killer this is, and its got so much creativity. But it would be AMAZING if this had multiplayer PLZ and you can build your own army to fight other players like 4 people per map and stuff like that, bot other than that, thanks for the great game.
Plz make the full version 99 cents but this is very fun.
Stop begging for this game to be free its how people make money. The games fun it has more features so stop begging for it to be free just get gift card for something and buy it. Anyways this game is really good! But the slight problem is when you delete it you lose all your progress. Other wise its a really addictive game thanks for reading.
This game is bad we put hours of work and left and came back later and we had to start all over this game really needs a update to save and a waste of time to play and you can't leave the app or you will lose all you work and to keep it you have to keep you device on till you play it again.
We just like this game tower building all that stuff we can play this game all day.
This game is unbelievably fun! We didn't buy the full version and we're already addicted! Our one and only complaint is that u can't save but there are literally no adds, u can play offline which comes in handy for the bus and much more! Plz buy this game u won't regret it!! We don't know y this is only 4 stars this game is the best! Minecraft has a run for its money.
We always wanted to do minecraft defense. Very fun indeed. Trying it out before full purchase.
We've wanted this game ever since the first time we've played it but then our dad said it's a waste of money and so he is never getting us itunes again :( so plz make the full version free we've had so much fun playing the free version(aka) this one.plz make this the free app of the week on iPhone or make it free.plz plz plz times a million.
Yo to everybody who reads this comment we have to say even tho this isn't the full version the graphics,gameplay,and just the game in general makes this our most favorite game we own.
Why is Everyone talking about the full version???? We're so confused.
This is a idea for Block Fortress, Block Fortress Lite, and Block Fortress: War. Do you know how in Terra Tech they have these rotating anchors? Then a AI controls it to shoot every enemy in its range? That is our idea for this game to make it 50% better. Place the anchor, then place a block on the anchor, then put a gun on left side and right side. How will it make it better? 2 words: Sentry Turrets. So if you want to make these games better, like 50% better, we recommend adding it, but if you do, make sure it does this- 1: Make sure the anchor rotates 360 all the way around. 2: Make sure a friendly AI controls it. 3 Set the range to the furthest range 50. Cal shoots. Last but not least, 4: Finally, make sure the friendly AI shoots every enemy in the furthest range the 50. Cal can shoot. Also don't forget to remember how to make it in Survival, QuickStart and Sandbox. Thank you Forsaken Media. P.S. This game is awesome. It will be helpful if you can find better features than the one we said.
We like this game it's very addicting good work!!! :D.
This is AMAZING the full version is SO worth it! This game is the best Minecraft shooter On the market! It's even better then pixel gun 3d! We highly recommend the full version if you like this app, keep up this GREAT game.
This game looked fun when we first saw it, but when we learned the full version costs money, we were very disappointed. And by the way, to the people who made this game, the lite version is a lot more popular than the full version, so we think you guys should profit better by giving it away for free for once.
We played the game it was amazing sandbox mod and survival we liked it keep up the good work guys.
We have a few ideas for the bots: 1.the bomb bot it basically throws a bunch of gernades at enemy targets. 2.the air bot it goes into the air and shoots a bunch of tiny missles that go everywhere in the area. Bounus:the mech it should be in the equipment category but it's like this you place it down and get into into it the weapons are machine guns and missles but it has health it can climb 2 blocks high and is 3 blocks high. We really wish that you will listen to our ideas You can add some modifications thanks.
We wanted this game but it costs money looked back at it and there's a lite version we get we play we choose survival mode but we can fly and there is no tutorial we would want a survival mode one in the full version we're just hoping there's no flying and plz be a tutorial we don't like taking risks so tell us if there is ill give 5 stars but plz we want this game but it's not like the App Store features.
Look kids the game is not going to be free not in an eon of years so just go buy an iTunes card like a 10-15 dollar iTunes card and buy the game because the full version will not be free not even on holidays or b-days ok so if you are the ones asking for the game to be free the developers will not make it free so just buy the game with money or you will just be begging and begging so buy the game with money or just not get the full version at all besides the pricing is reasonable for the game and get Blockfortress:War too if you want but that also costs money and we have both Blockfortress and Blockfortress:War because we bought them so just wait until you get money or just play some other games that could be better than this one game ok kids.
Our parents don't give us money and they don't buy us anything so plz make it free.
It seemed so cool we really want the full version free some time or later.
The game is amazing. The only problem is there is no multiplayer in the free. We can't play with our friends with the free.
Our bday is comeimg up could you make it free soon.
Cause the full version isn't in the top charts currently.
Its good and the game is pretty old when we played 6 years ago it was very fun and ye the in app purchases is useless now but give it a try just for fun.
We have been having an issue with the turrets not firing suddenly and the monsters just destroyed everything, otherwise this game is great.
The guns and mele weapons are great and all but we bout the plasma pistol and then we started a new place but we had to buy the plasma pistol if you can change it so wons you buy it you dont haft to buy it again.
Its really fun and passes time REAL quick. But it needs some updates. Could we have an ally spawn as well with different weapons? It would be cool to make battles like that. Could you also add a save option? Thanks. P.S. Keep up the work.
We would rate this game five stars if there was an option to download maps.if there is the game doesnt mention it at all.If yall know how Id like to know.
We love the game but can you ad a mode called free zone ware you have infinite money. Just asking.
Free version! This is the LITE! So they need money! They are humans and humans in this world need money! So drop the Subway sandwich kids and buy if you complain. "Full Version, $2 bucks crap!" "we need all the Subway we're not paying for your crap!" us when we saw full game That's what you kids sound like. It's cool but PLZ COMPLAIN ON THE INTERNET NOT HERE! We bought the game because we're not a hobo. Stop crying! #ZichtofenIsOutOfDisPlace.
Awesome game but you can't save.if they add a save option we give 5 stars.
The game is really fun but truly we give it 4 star because the game don't save.Once we got like to wave 13 and our mom said come here and than the game just restart.Plz fix this.
Best game ever we're so addicted. Plz make pro version free. Although good game.
Hi this game is awesome but it would be better if u put multiplayer also this game would be of the charts if the full version was free Thx.
But we can't figure out how to use the ziplines.
This is an awesome game, but we feel that it's more of an advertising strategy for the full version than a game. We admit that Foursaken has been generous in adding features to the free version, but one thing that must be added is the ability to save games. Other than that, it's great.
It hard to aim and shoot at the same time, therefore it should have auto shoot ! Also it annoying to pick up coins all the time! They should just disappear into our pocket! And there should be an option for us to edit the controller.
It is too boring with the weapons and turrets the lite version has.
