Community Insight:
Game gets to a point where you have to pay to keep playing.
Making more hroes with diferent power and more world and more tower.
It needs an update but we love this game more then any other.
Like the multiple heroes system. Not a fan of pay to play tho.
Ive been playing for years, and recently in last month was bumped out of our great fortune and experience back to the beginning of the game and we do t know why. Very disappointing.
We discovered this game back in 2017, now its 2020 and we still love the game.
TD Creeps has a fun fantasy setting, pretty graphics, and the game mechanics are easy to master. We wish it were easier to farm gold. You can watch ads to get more chests to open, and to a tiny extent farm a few gems and a little bit of gold. But you rapidly get to a point where you cant upgrade heros or towers because theres no gold to be had without spending real money. That makes this game problematic for children or other people who succumb to the compulsion.
Like the game but need to make it to when you get duplicate cards you get some kind of credit to other things. Ive maxed out on 5 cards but keep getting more when we open chests but doesnt apply to anything.
This is our favorite tower defense game but Ive been at the end of Chapter 47 waiting for new levels for over a year and a half. It has said chapter 48 coming soon this whole time. Why the tease? Just say game over. Why leave us hanging.
You can play a lot, but you have to watch adds and they all have Long load times. Its a killer.
We expect to spend some money when the games are free but this is ridiculous. After $70 and no way to advance without spending more money we finally deleted it. It does a great job of sucking you in in the beginning. If your not willing to invest $100 dont bother.
As noted by people 5 years ago plus, the game starts out great but then around level 80 it starts to become impossible to earn enough gold to keep heros and towers updated and the developers refuse to address this issue. We dont mind paying a bit here and there but to top it off the gold purchase prices are laughably high and would still only help for a handful of levels before being stuck again. We understand in needing to make money off the game but it needs to be reasonable or players like us will just go elsewhere.
Too much going on and little to no time explaining what is going on. We would not download this again.
Game is good. But the prices in the shop are illogically high. No will to spend money.
If you lose your phone and you get a new phone, all of your progress will be lost.
Great game, playing for years. Just recently for the past couple months, your watch an ad and the screen will freeze and youll have to force close and re open. Ive watched tons of ads and have received nothing.
On the surface this game is fun, but around level 16 you will notice difficulty spike. This is the first of probably many paywalls. So if you want to progress you either need to grind for absurd amounts of time, or pay real money. So you are more or less required to use the store. Well lets look at that store. $1.99 gets you 100 gems, 100 gems gets you 2 of the mid level loot boxes, 50 each. The premium loot box however costs 200 gems ($4.00) but upon inspection will only give you half of what you get if you just by 4 mid level loot boxes. So right off the bat this system is designed to trick you into wasting your gems. Surely it cant be all bad though, what about special offers? Lets break one down. For $5 we get 175 gems, 12,500 coins, 40 cards for upgrading heroes, in the top right it claims this is a 1,030 gem value (over $20) Doing the math and conversions it is only a little over 600 gems, and that is if you are extremely liberal with the value of coins. In short, you barely save 50 cents on that offer that claims to be over $20 value…. Lets just go ahead and call this game what it is, a casino designed to look like a tower defense game.
We were having fun playing this until we got to level 16 and that level is impossible without paying. Looked fun at first is actually bad. Just a money waster.
These guys apparently have never heard of a pause button, game needs a lot of work.
This is the classic hook them the clean them pay-to-win game. Quickly becomes impossible to advance unless you pay for upgrades. Folks, games are supposed to be fun, not frustrating as you navigate all the payment schemes in the game. Been playing tower games since… Well, the very beginning in the 90s. The game would be great…if it wasnt for the money grubbing just to win the next level. Shame on you.
The Good: Graphics are nice as are the animations. The Bad: You buy the game and are constantly accosted by pay to win mechanics and trials and deals and currencies. This is the worse example of this type of greedy behavior but it is perfected. The scope of the maps are tiny compared to many TD games. The currency and upgrade system is confused and hampered by pay to win mechanics. The strategy of the game is pointless within the first couple hours of play time. We literally just put down towers randomly and upgraded them when we could and won with three stars on each map. It could get more difficult but other games build the strategy at the beginning rather than get you invested into their little game economy. 1/10 Bad Game do not buy.
Another stingy app that requires you to purchase lots of items to even play. Seriously, since when did iPhone games get so expensive! Decided to forgo iPhone games moving forward, theyre all greedy.
Going WAY above and beyond the typical sketchy game design of post-Kingdom Rush wannabes, this game is designed at every possible point to require the spending of money to advance in any way. Sure, like other games of this ilk, it starts off well enough, but after you get a few levels into it, you will hit a brick wall that requires the spending of money to advance in any way, shape or form. And not just a little bit of money, youll need to spend A LOT of money. When we hit the wall, we spent a very regrettable $15 on the game, only to find that it didnt really do much for us. Before we knew it, the game had its hand out asking for more cash. Go play something else.
Hola. Por favor ayudenme que perd todo mi progreso al actualizar el juego. La actualizacin 1.49.2. Fueron muchas horas y esfuerzo Xfavor ayudenme.
For the love of creeps, when will we get more levels? It has been on level 48 forever.
Please please please make it easier to obtain gold. There should be some way to grind out time for coins, but instead we have thousands of useless cards in our inventory. Itd be cool to level up other heros and use them, but we dont want to waste gold. Please create an update for this app immediately. Thanks.
We love the heroes. They have, especially magnus he is a special one. We love this game, though it does say stay with us for a short while or something like that. But it is a still cool game.
Lovely, exciting and the most challenging game we have experienced in last 2 year. Simple but detailed and fighting without annoying violence scenes! Only question for us is that why the developer have not released an update more than 6 months.
This is the best mobile TD game Ive played in years! Great graphics and storyline; balance is on the spot too. If you run out of coins just complete daily quests and participate in gauntlets which earn you more chests and coins. The variety of creeps and heroes makes this game extra fun. Different chapters and terrains add atmospheric drama as well. Overall an excellent game.
We have been playing this game for a while and we still love it. We never paid for anything. It just takes a lot of strategy. We play like once a day so our chest and lightening tower built up. And we dont use the extra guards or extra so we dont get depended on them. Also we tend to use Mason and along range hero. We have gotten pretty far.
Best builder game so far, different and unique! Caution, addictive.
We take what we said before, the game is great.
First it seems like we can play offline which is a huge plus. Doesnt seem that hard ether in spite of some claims otherwise.
We absolutely love this game! But when are you guys going to come out with new levels? In the meantime Ive just been playing the same levels over and over again upgrading our heroes and weapons.
The downloading content is not working so we were wondering if its a bug or not.
Cant get past chapter 4 battle 1 says theres more to download yet theres no update we enjoy the game its just not letting us any further.
Its really frustrated when every time we came back to the game, it stuck with a downloading content alert. It will hurt your DAU, please at least add a progress bar there to tell users how long they will wait.
Each time that we open the game it need download data, well we download the files then plays the game without problems but some hours later when we open the game again need to download data. Can the team fix this issue. Im not connected all the time to internet.
When you upgrade a tower, it only applies to that tower level, not the levels following. So its possible to have a lvl 1 tower thats as powerful as a level 2, which screws up the whole idea of powering up towers. The nagging for spending money in the game is obnoxious, and it keeps asking for our friends list in Facebook even if it isnt required.
Everything about it is very good, except when you get a little further, your towers start getting destroyed very quickly. Build a tower, spend all your currency to upgrade it, and it gets destroyed in 3 seconds. We just turn it off out of frustration and dont see ourselves going much further if it stays like this.
This game is one of the most fun tower defense games out there. Its nice to look at, has all the usual elements plus a few extra for progression. Ive had this game a few years now and have seen the various updates and changes to game mechanics. We stopped playing at one point because the ability to continue required we sink a ton of actual money into the game; Im all for supporting developers who produce good content… But each individual player shouldnt be making the equivalent to one of your mortgage payments in purchases in order to enjoy the game. You need to be less greedy and balance the game, give us more coins. We want guaranteed coins in EVERY gem box, we want coins from replaying levels, we want coins to be cheaper to purchase with Gems. Play to win games can be fun, and mutually beneficial to the developer and player; by implementing an aggressive P2W strategy you have alienated your player base. We will spend $5 here and there, but not $5-20/day.
The game mechanics are fine. The levels are repetitive. But the biggest issue is the lack of gold. You will end up with thousands of points for every tower and hero, and no gold to upgrade. At multiple points we had three starred every level and spent all the gold we got upgrading towers and heros, only to have the game tell us we needed to upgrade because we were way outmatches for the next level. And there is no way to earn more gold at that point except waiting for and opening chests. Im not going to open an app everyday just to open a chest and not play. This one is getting deleted.
We dont mind spending a little. But gold is too scarce and we think it will be nonstop brick walls after a certain level.
Well-polished TD game with lots of bells and whistles. Unfortunately the player will hit a brick wall after several hours of play when the gold requirement to level up heroes and towers abruptly becomes so steep that progression is near-impossible without purchasing store add-ons (gold for leveling or gems for buffing). $15 of store items bought us about an additional hour or two before progression became hours of grinding for little advancement.
Our first choices would be iron marines or kingdom rush. This game is more arcade style. The playability is ok.
The level of difficulty does not match the progression of character and tower improvements. It feels as if this is solely done to force in ad purchases. When it comes to earning coins to make improvements coins are earned two infrequently. Also, why am we still earning awards for things that have been maxed out.
This game is fun… We play it everyday. We open it up, watch a few video ads so we can open some treasure chests in the hopes that we will get gold coins. Yeah, that pretty much sums up this game. We can see devs wanting to make money, and rightfully they should. But they should also have a desire to make the game fun for people. If you like grinding by watching 30 second video ads every day, youll love this game! If the devs actually want people to enjoy their creation, then theyll figure out a way to make gold not so dang hard to get.
Played through chapter 10. The game asked us to sign into Facebook to save our progress and now all our progress has been deleted and they want us to start over. We have since deleted the app. Garbage. Waste of time.
Great game, but one of the ads is for an app with chat and every female pictured was clearly under 18, with one dancing in a bedroom throughout the ad. We contacted Castle Creeps about this a month ago and assumed they would cease advertising for what was clearly illegal and disgusting. Nope, same ad again today and just a canned response from customer service. We have reported the ad to the authorities. Shame on Castle Creeps for being any part of this and making money from it.
Would you choose to watch a TV series having known that after 2 great seasons and a cliffhanger ending it would get canceled never to be picked up again? This game is just that. After reaching chapter 21 you just get stuck with a ton of upgrade cards for all towers and heros but no gold. Unlike all other resources that is available from chests, there is no consistent way to get gold, not by farming or waiting. We went back and got 3 stars in all previous levels and am now completely stuck. Nothing to do but quit. Sure, we can just buy gold for money, but that it just paying 5 bucks a level, not very rewarding. Going through previous reviews and developer responses, there was a sense that this was to be addressed. However, last update was released over 10 months ago. Seems like devs abandoned this game and, sadly, we are too. Cheers.
