Community Insight:
We love this game! We have a job where we have an insane amount of downtime, and this game is saves us from boredom and its actually a lot of fun.
This is a actually a fun game to play that doesnt force adds on you. Also is playable without spending money. Ive made in to lvl 106 without spending a dime. But you can choose to view adds for a free spin on the wheel, toget great material for the game. We would highly recommend this.
Love this game, played for years. Any plans for extensions for it? Im maxed out level and in the 1800s for story mode. Would love a new version or some new content, monsters, abilities for this one. Its just the same levels over and over now.
Ive played the defender saga for multiple years now ever since we were a kid. This game is one of those games youll never really grow out of. Im 20 now and years after beating the game ive still been coming back to it even occasionally creating multiple accounts and feeding off the nostalgia that it gives. Its such a simplistic concept that gives a very rewarding feeling. It offers various modes like battles, arena and world raids and a lot of various upgrades you can add to your bow over time. Although Im glad the game is still up more updates with new content would be amazing and thats really our only complaint, we want more from the devolopers.
Make an update for the left handed players. Please.
Ahh Defender one of our childhood classics we remember getting to a very high stage In this game but their are a few reasons on how this game can be better 1. Add multiplayer We know you guys have a multiplayer PvP mode But it is straight garbage like literally we run into hackers who have it to where they take no damage when the get Bombarded by a bunch of enemies or projectiles or we run into a Guy with max bow with soul of arrow or spirit of wind or some crap like that 2.make more modes like one called dungeons having you and 3 other players kill endless amounts of enemies with a wave like system (Like call of duty zombies) 3.add a report system We should Be allowed to report people depending on what rule are they breaking. Speaking or rules Yea their should be rules like No hacking,No randomly Reporting for no reason,No bullying others because they have a weak Bow. And stuff like that 4.Last but not least add a chat system and a friend system.It would make the game a lot funner to play with friends and online so that way you arent playing the same repetitive game Anyways we hope this all happens in any future Defender game (If you guys are even making any more defender games idk if yall gave up quit or something).
Like most of youI have spent a lifetime playing video games. This game will stand the test of time. Dont allow yourself to believe these other reviews. None of that junk matters. Max out your agility. Keep your spells lowest level you can so they dont cost much magic. Except for the wall spell that gives you life. Max out your magic wall. Save all coins and gems. The real power comes from a large bank. When you reach 10 million coins the ones digit simply goes behind the blue gem graphic. This is when the player once again gains the upper hand and is able to complete a level without using magic while keeping enough life to win. Have fun. 15 years and 2 uninstalls.
We have played these games since the first one popped up and they are great pass times! Im currently passing the time waiting for our second kid to be born as Im writing this post. Great games thank you for getting us through these long hours.
Great game remembered when we played it as a kid and still just as good.
Love it. Highly recommend this game. Still play Defender II aswell.
No devs = no messing with stuff Grinder game, easily 12+ months.
Can we please have a level select? Failing over and over until finally succeeding can be fun for only so long. We would at least like to pass as Im grinding. Also thanks, Ive never made a game.
Th game is fun and addicting but its hard to beat because your in game money doesnt go very far and you need resources as well to upgrade. We think the game needs bonus weekends every once in a while for double coin weekend or double reward weekend.
There are a ton of things to upgrade and it just cost too much within the game and Im not spending real money on a game. So it makes it very frustrating and pointless quickly because you cant get anywhere in this.
We love the game but we Spend $20 for the extra dailys, but if we dont log on we just dont get that day? Should be that way for the free pass not the one you pay for.
We wanna also use this on our Samsung S7 plus but after the latest update the app is not able to load does not even get to the loading screen we will give u more stars when this issue is resolved we hope you do more updates and add more surprises you have developed a great Td tower game more mechanics the better.
Once you get to a certain point it take forever to load in game and then eventually you cant use the battle option to fight other people cause it never loads.
Come on devs lets add some controller support please.
The developers apparently dont care or read the reviews. DONT SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS GAME!. This game is fun just to kill time , thats it. Continuously force closes in battle mode. Losing all the resources that is extremely difficult to accumulate. We wish we didnt spend money on this game already , or we would have deleted it!!!.DONT BOTHER.
As soon as we know this games base on energy system we uninstalled it.
Its fun but when your done you forget about it but when you remember its fun and rinse and repeat.
We love the game, but yall stopped updating it! Is it no longer popular? We would love to see something new on here.
In Defender II, there was a feature to report cheating. However, there is no feature like that in this game. This is a problem, because we just went up against someone who had a four arrow bow in only level 5 of the Earth Arena. He took out all the enemies extremely easily, including a boss dragon, he lost zero health, and then he intentionally surrendered as soon as we lost. Why is this allowed, and why is there no option to report it? We enjoy the game for the most part, but until this is fixed, we are giving it a one star rating.
Defender III is a good game and id love to see more updates. Or a new game. It has some good music, sound effects, and looks. We hope you can make more updates.
Finally!! We have found the game that brought us so much fun during our junior year of high school. Eventually we had the whole school playing it because its just that awesome!!! We hope it brings you as much fun as it had and will bring us.
We havent played a game as fun as this one in a long time . Great game make another one.
This is a really fun game, and we absolutely love it – have spent HOURS playing it during the pandemic. One of the features that we love the most is Battle, which has become our daily ritual. BUT PLEASE, ADD MORE LEVELS TO THE BATTLE, 20 LEVELS ARE WAY TOO LESS!! We see THOUSANDS of players above that threshold every time after the reset – if you add more levels, these players WILL COME BACK.
Besides the wheel not giving us anything ten times in a row the game its really good Im on stage 260 and we have one soul for the wind bow after playing for almost a month and as well as a maxed out wind bow V. For the negative reviews screw yah.
We flat out love this game although there needs to be a change and the change is better loot from battles and stages because we have ive been playing this game for a very long time but its just really hard to upgrade because you dont really get that much loot.
This reminds us of the first one :) back in the days :).
The earth bow isnt calculating the tough arrow into our dps.
How do we recover a lost account from a previous device? We played for a while and got pretty far into the game but upon trading our phone in for a new one, we realized we had no way of loading our old profile into the new device.
Can you please add a report button because Ive just played a game where the guy was literally getting pelted by projectiles and didnt take any damage but then he tried to be sly and 30 seconds later he started to take damage from enemies and Im pretty sure hes been doing that since he was in lvl 3 battles with only 1000 health and 110 mana and not even a good bow so yeah please add a report button and if someone abuses the report button maybe take it away from them for a few days or something idk its just Ive been cheated on once in defender 2 and we were able to report but now we cant even report in defender 3 but still either way if you do add it or if you dont we will still play your game since it honestly is one of the best of the best for being a mobile game great graphics a lot to do some strategy involved and a lot of fun and a lot of content and over the years have had about 4 different accounts on defender 2 because of all the devices Ive had Ive been playing defender 2 and 3 on and off a lot since we were around 7 or 8 and now Im 15 so yeah this game holds a special place in our heart so thank you droidhen for making our childhood and continuing to be awesome but please add a report button so we can report a cheater if we come across another one and stay awesome.
Love the game, been playing it forever but is it just ice levels after level 1000?? Getting annoying playing the same thing over and over.
Im not sure if yall have thought about it Id really love to see a dark and a light bow and castle man that wouldve so awesome please think haha love yall.
Excellent game but can you help fix our game it shooting from the top tower instead of the bows please help thank.
This is a great game, we remember playing it on the first phone Id ever owned years ago. When the ad for it popped up we almost jumped out of our seat from nostalgia.
Yo its okay if these games have more plays than your game. Although those games are fake ads so dont be like them and be your own self. Also DONT ADVERTISE THOSE ADS for safety of your player management. Be your own self and dont be like those games From: Oof Mcgoof your happy players username.
Could you fix the rates on the spinning wheel? We have watched over 50 ads and only got the highest coin amount once. We have never gotten the highest gem amount ever. If you do, Little God (OG) will change this to 5 stars.
Great game but the world raid starts at midnight and over early in the morning so we cant pritisapate.
Ive recently downloaded the game again and it started us from the beginning, which is fine to be honest. Our only concern is we cant find a way to restore our in app purchases. Any idea on how to do so? We know for a fact that we have a few permanent in app purchase but dont know where to go or how to get them back. Pretty frustrating.
The screen is not optimized for the Ipad Pro!! Please fix it.
We think its BS that our opponent cant get hit dozens of times but not take a single point of HP. By the time we can longer keep up they havent taken a single point loss and we lose, after we take damage then they start losing health. This is crap, Ive lost so many games because of this and you need to fix it.
The game is OK to waste some time, but if you are into games to actually be good at then dont waste your time with this one. The monsters level seems to progress a lot faster than the amount of damage you can cause unless you spend a lot of money on the game. All they really want is your money. The whole game is totally rigged. Rigged from the little amount of damage done to the monsters no matter how much you upgrade anything to the rigging of voluntarily watching ads to spin the wheel only to receive a crappy prize.
If you dont pay will take weeks or months just to upgrade enough to beat a couple levels till they get hard again.
The app has an issue when you buy a discounted item it charges full price anyways our friend and ourselves both bought the tower upgrade that said 10$ but priced us 20$ anyways.
Fun game, but the upgrades don't keep up with the monsters. Have to grind a lot or pay money. edit continues to beg for review.
Entretiene, pero sera mejor si en la ruleta debieran de dar mejores premios , en especial con los diamantes , adems solo cae 1 diamante o el ms bajo de dinero .. Intil … Slo quieren que uno gaste dinero por gusto.
We played defender way back. Tried it out again and geez, instantly ran into a terrible bug. The bow shoots off its left limb and when you touch an enemy it's completely inaccurate and shoots above the foe. What an annoyance. DELETE.
