Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Great concept, very enjoyable. No pop up adds so far, which we appreciate. The adds ghat the game has are optional to watch for more upgrades or prizes. We spent 2.99 so far. Planing on spending more if the game adds more towers and upgrades.
Love that we can just pay a lump sum to skip all ads. What a relief.
Very fun music, cool art, overall enjoyable and easy to play :).
Im not too far in but its fun. Its difficult enough to where you cant sweep every level but you can still win. We love how all the ads are optional. Its definitely easier if you pay but so far we havent had to spend anything. Will update if we hit a wall.
Hopefully they dont flood the game with adds.
Would be 5 stars without so many micro transactions.
We like the game, but its hard. From the first level you play you barely survive. We bought a starter pack that helped get us to level 5. Now Im stuck again. The first few weapons and gear you unlock have a nominal increase in your effectiveness. We dont want to keep spending money just to get to the next level. Im not sure if grinding it out would be worth it. It feels like you have to play a level 100 times to level up enough to pass that level or spend money.
Great game and graphics. However, too much has been kept up to chance. As such, it takes ages to clear stages sometimes. If that continues, people will soon lose interest to play this game. We are giving it 3 stars instead of 5 just for that.
Our biggest problem with this game and many others like it are the random assigning of 3 cards to choose from. It removes a huge portion of personal strategy and turns it over to an algorithm designed to get you to spend money.
Literally no way to get past level 5 without dropping some cash. This about 20 minutes of gameplay and you need to spend money.
Lots of promising features we havent unlocked yet.
The best comment we can give, is that the ads are there, but you dont need to watch them. At no point am we forced to watch an ad. We can watch them for a bonus, totally fine, Ive done it a couple times, but if we dont want to, its 100% not necessary. Brilliant. The gameplay is actually very fun and addictive.
Game is pretty good. Want to remove ads forever thats $50 and thats offensive enough to us to come leave a 3 star review.
We spent $9.99 on the abyss pack to get two skill choices and we have yet to receive a single double choice. Its really screwing us on the rounds.
While this is a super fun game it becomes super obvious they are milking you for ad watching so they can make some money. Trying for a weapon combo? Good luck. You will likely not get what you want on your upgrades. Not all weapons are equal in power. We really wanted to be able to use electric weapons and the game likes to feel them to us. However they are the weakest weapons. One game we went 4 rounds up level ups getting two little guy upgrade and one shotgun options. Say its ran some all you want. If you look at the code in the game we would bet it gives junk options if you dont Watch ads. Guess you just have to like to watch ads so you can change the options once. Its a sham because this could be a really good game.
La escalada del juego te deja pegado queriendo comprar ms poderes jugalo una sola ves y no te despegaras.
Great game, the price to remove all ads is reasonable for the game that it is, we just have to save up for it.
This game is simple but great! Its fun to watch your weapon selections play out, work together and do their thing. However, some of the guns could use an intelligence upgrade. The Disruption Drone, Laser and Tesla Coil has a bad habit of literally firing at nothing, or missing out on shots that can do the most damage. (Aiming at one target instead of the group of 20, for example.) Upgrading that would take away the only real point of frustration in the game.
Super weapons are extremely difficult to reach when upgrading. When you finally get to them, the battle is 90% over so theyre basically useless.
Stamina is too restrictive. The game is really addictive to us but we hit our limits so quickly with no way to get more stamina.
The game has great visuals and is generally fun to play, but the fundamental mechanic reverses what players usually enjoy. When you play a level, after specific numbers of kills, you get presented with a selection of towers to place or upgrades for placed towers. The problem is that this selection is highly random. You might be getting completely unsuitable towers or upgrades that are undesirable. Frequently, you can get a tower to 3 stars, and then the highly beneficial 4 star upgrade never comes. This makes success completely dependent on RNG. IF we get the right set of towers and upgrades, we can clear elite levels at 100% health easily. If we dont, we die. We think the game could have MUCH MORE long term potential, if the mechanics were flipped. Instead of controlled progression to the types of towers and upgrades for towers you can get, and having total randomness during play, the devs could introduce randomness in which upgrades you have enabled (we.e. By drawing cards, etc), but then giving you control over your upgrade selection in battle. This could be done by pricing the upgrades inside a battle differently, so that there is a restriction but you can still make your own choice. We really enjoy the game but hate crossing our fingers and hoping we either get the right upgrades or Im screwed.
Im still fairly new to this game but Ive downloaded somewhere between75 to 100 mobile games. We have to say that for now we havent felt like we needed to pay to get ahead but that doesnt stop them from pushing the ads in your face. And im usually a p2w player but we think this game is super chill and doesnt require it ! We like it.
Ive been stuck on level normal 15 for days now. Ive tried everything No luck. Sad Im ready to delete.
Game is fine until a bloated power up pool and a limited power up selection per level makes it impossible to progress without RNJesus blessing you every 1 in 40 attempts. Needs to balance it so every weapon is actually useful without pulling the exact right buffs for them.
First off: if you like games like this, try something like Boom Castle. Its still not great but is a much better version of this. Progression: disgustingly awful. Replaying just the 5th stage 5+ times to advance means that by stage 20 itll be impossible to move up a stage without a week of grinding. Ads: we understand putting in ads for extra revenue, but a $10 monthly and $50 paywall to remove them is beyond absurd. For $15 we can play a WoW clone with no ads that has over 100 times the content and is more varied. In addition, the rewards for the ads are garbage, with few exceptions, and this company has subscribed (like so many others) to the new 1-2 minute long ads instead of sticking with the 30 second ones. Rewards: less than minimal. In other similar games you can get your power 10-100 times higher than your starting point with an hour or 2 of work. In this youll be lucky to double it, which again means that by stage 5 youll be grinding it 10x to upgrade anything with meaning. Weapons and abilities: we actually like a lot of these. The upgrades are non linear and refreshing. The Beam weapon and its upgrades in particular are awesome. Kudos for that. Unfortunately, theres a less than 10% chance in any given stage that youll actually get the upgrades you want, and several of said upgrades seem detrimental. Weapon compatibility: to be fair, many similar games have this issue, but just because others do doesnt mean any of them get let off. The AI for the weapons is trash. Youll need them to attack enemies closer to the shield and itll randomly attack others, or one weapon will attack a nearly dead enemy another weapon is ready attacking, wasting damage. And the worst offender? Weapons with a multi second cooldown MISSING their targets. In a game like this where progression is already difficult, your AI actively messing you up just makes everything worse. Storyline:..there isnt one. The only reason this got 2 stars instead of 1 is because we still personally like the concept and for this specific game the graphics are pretty.
We had fun for a little while, but then the difficulty starts exponentially increasing after level 20. Way too big of a difficulty spike this early in the game. And yes, Ive already purchased upgrades, and it doesnt even matter. The difficulty goes from medium to impossible almost instantly.
This game is pretty fun and therere no annoying ads. But it might need more or better content in upgrades (gear). As more upgrades will help with the gameplays progression. Its kinda tough to get through the levels with limited upgrades.
Its good, we like the challenge but its annoying when they give so many towers in a random rotation. Doesnt matter what strategy you use, unless you pay to win- you are at the mercy to their computer that sends you towers to lose. Would be more fun if we could get the towers we want at least, not trying to spend tons of money when we know its still a heavily biased computer. Candy crush we spent money on bc at least Id win. Not spending money on a game just to lose to rng.
At the end of the round game forsly show ads, and you cant close that screen until you install game from the ad.
Overall can be fun and very time consuming. However, being at the mercy of the upgrade drops, which seem to always go against anything you need or have planned, really ruin any fun. Needs some sort of upgrade path to at least make it worth while. Then the ai of the towers is awful, seems like a large waste of our time.
Just found this game. Its the first one in a long time that we found that you dont have to watch ads to continue in the game. They have the option if you want to some sort Cara stuff you can watch an ad for that. But thats it really. They dont force ads on you after you are done playing a level in the game like so many other games. This is a win. Finally. Thank you for making this like you did.
Fun unique gameplay with surprising depth. Ad removal option is worth the price. Removes all ads even for the optional bonus selections etc. Great game.
We like using the game to pass the time. What really caught our eye though is how little info they use to track you. No ads unless you want them and no micro transactions that make you feel like you NEED to buy them to further progress in the game. That was definitely the deal maker for us. Overall, fun game with lots of upgrades and great way to pass the time. 5/5.
Your most recent update has left the names of the turrets mismatched.
Dont get us wrong its a fun game that plays well. But this game is so unbelievably grindy. It has taken us an absurd amount of time to get past some levels. Ive probably played 10+ hours and CONNOT beat normal level 15 or elite level 10. Its crazy.
Really awesome game. We spent just a little money on it, and really enjoyed the game. But one day we started it and we were signed out. We signed in and we lost all our progress. We put a lot of time in this game. We wont play anymore because of that issue. Why spend time on something you can lose so easily.
Really good game. Some in app purchases can add up but lots of hours of fun.
This game is genuinely just fun. Its a good game and we seriously enjoy the tower defense and wave aspect. Everything about the lack of instant gratification, having to plan your upgrades strategically, and gameplay are just solid. Couldnt ask for a better game. Another SUPER RAD THING. Ads ARE NOT FORCED. Meaning you dont need them to play the game and achieve anything. It does have micro transactions, but theyre not needed unless you seriously just want instant gratification. Solid game! Thank you Devs for putting something out that is A+ all the way around.
One of our favorite rougelike defender games Ive played! Worth playing for sure.
Oof. Im getting tired of games that do all the shooting and you just sit there and power up your base. Its getting old and tired, just like us. Sorry but we didnt last 5 minutes with this game. Boring.
At this point, its a newer game, so the there arent many levels to go though but getting powerful enough to get through them can be challenging and we dont see anyone yet that has reached any ceiling. Top players right now are In mid 40 levels. There are some hefty pay to win costs in the game. Dont except to get a defender or weapons that have any bonus stats without great luck or money. Overall though Ive enjoyed the game play without the special equipment and not spending too much.
It gets you going for hours and days. But we have finally reach a point where we need a ton of ads to get gems to continue or Im stuck on a level for weeks. Overall super fun till then.
Its fantastic, we love anything with beams and lasers! Very addictive.
That seems to be the trend these days, but the first ad that was served to us was over two minutes, and it cannot be skipped. Way too many interruptions and way too much cost. It was $49.99 for a lifetime of skipping ads.
The towers would all be great so they purposely make them awful. It drains the fun out of the game completely. Beam turret will shoot straight up and down when the screen is full of enemies and will miss 99% of them. Skyguard turret will fly past all of the close enemies to hit the main back or go into a death spin and spin around a target for a solid minute before hitting them. Areoblast will completely miss what its shooting out. Nowhere near close to what its even aiming out. Every single turret Ive unlocked has something like this.
Our main beef with this game is that we dont know what the ATK value means. If a developer could tell us, Id be very grateful.
Would love to get an Endless Mode and the ability to select specific towers while playing. Also, when combining cards, the results are completely random. It would be great to have a little control there.
Perfect game to just relax and watch the mayhem ads not that bad you could just relax and watch whatever you want after you trying to upgrade. It aint really that terrible. Hopefully it doesnt get terrible in the future.
Fun enough easy to play in background.
Exactly like Survivor.io/Punk.io concept. More defense than running around. Pretty good, nothing crazy. Not extremely engaging since its mostly auto, though it is better than many others in its class.
