Community Insight:
Good game only a little hard but doable.
Gear defenders is a good game, because Its fun $$$$ $.
Really nice game when we get bored we play with our brother sometimes so its kind of fun 4 stars.
This game is fun and satisfying,we have a army of gear defenders protecting the wall and it feels like we have our own army.we recommend you to play this game.we promise you will like it.
We genuinely have enjoyed using this game to kill time. Purchases arent necessary to have fun either. Its adds are pretty long for the amount needed for rewards though. Only reason we gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
But why do the little fighters get stuck doing nothing when you have too many of them. Lost so many battles on the last round cause they just stand there and not attack.
- get stuck on the same level and are forced to play and lose on repeat unless you spend money to power up – imbalanced levels: each level has harder enemies plus your board is cluttered with debuffs and the bosses kill you base in less than ten hits while requiring hundreds to take down.
Game is fun and mot bad but there are so many glitches that it really ruins the experience.
We actually enjoyed playing this game. We personally like to dominate so we figured, let us give this a try until we unlock level six (because thats when you get to see more game features). Knowing the person that we are we want to have the best upgrades when going into the battles. Watching ads to get the most dominant chances are not worth it & is killing brain stimulation. 60 secs of ads & then another 15 secs to click out. Its by choice but the ads could be at least 30 secs each or Id even pay to remove that feature. Id rather pay full price for a genuine experience than this game concept.
Very glad to have gotten an ad for this game its actually a lot of fun. Our ONLY suggestion and hear us out please is to make the VIP cards a permanent one time purchase or AT LEAST make it an option but make them more expensive in return for permanent (VIP $19.99 and SVIP $29.99) something like that. Paying money to rent something and it disappears when time is up discourages us and some other people from making that purchase all together. Id pay extra for it to be permanent. We just want to help the devs out and get more possible income streams to support you guys on your FANTASTIC and underrated game.
Great game, edges clipped out on iPad. Please fix. Couldn't get past tutorial.
We love this game thanks for making it we will share this game with others.
We downloaded it to see if the ad was real and the one we saw was actual gameplay and the beginning isnt too interesting since youre learning all the mechanics but its our second day on and strategy actually matters already!! We got the beginner booster and save our account cant wait to be on the leaderboard.
Hi, developers! We can't play level 160. When we click on the level 160 button, nothing happens. The game doesn't start. Please fix this issue.
This game is so good. The ads are little annoying, but they help us win faster so just game is the best game we have ever played in our entire life in 2026. We love this game.
We WANT THIS UNPOPULAR MOBILE GAME TO BE THE NEXT GAME OF THE YEAR CMON YALL.
We really like this game and its very entertaining.
Its not too difficult to upgrade. The upgrades, at least right now arent so expensive that you get stuck, at least not yet. You can get plenty of freebies too and no ads that Ive seen. We appreciate that.
We love merging games where if you keep on merging the better it is. Also we think the animation of the game is cute too. Good job on making this.
We enjoy this playing this game, and we would have to say that its worth it. Theres no ads or anything after every round like some games have. This one you can watch ads mid game to get stronger gears to help win battles faster if you wanted to. Theyre optional. Which is very nice. The music is very nice and entertaining. And the leveling up system is really well done. Out of every other Gear game Ive played. This one is by far is very fun and well balanced.
Its the same thing over and over.
Fun game at the beginning and then it just becomes a grind. Also very ad dependent.
At day 38 it wont let us accept anymore login rewards, and under deeds we cant accept any gems, language doesnt show up as English anymore.
We really like this game but please make your ads shorter. Having to sit through a 2 minute ad is ridiculous (Idle Sword Master is one which is really common). We dont mind the ads but other games have really short ads which you can cut short after about 30 seconds or so. If you get rid of the long ads, Id give this game a higher rating.
This game is fun but absolutely filled with ads. If there were a way to buy the ads away other than the very limited and incredibly expensive add tickets we would love it. Just charge a monthly fee to do away with the ads completely Thats something we would pay for.
We mean, its pretty fun. Its definitely not great (so not 4 stars), due to the sort of repetitive gameplay loop as well as the GIANT AMOUNT OF ADS. But, its pretty decent. We like it, not terrible, not great. Middle of the road.
This game is very challenging and fun but the developers are greedy hogs. Theyve rigged the gears with ads and its like hindering you to build stuff.
Fun game that makes you think a bit, putting gears at the right places to make your units come out faster. Combining gears at the right time can make the difference between winning and losing. The game rewards you a lot with voluntary ads. You can go far in the game, getting powerful units a bit early in the game with it and helping you unlock some much needed locked gears on the board to help you turn the tide of battle. We dont know if it was because we reached a time limit on the no ads. Or we gotten far in the game. But it was giving us mandatory ads whenever we started a new round. That when we stopped playing, dont have both kinds of ads. We were thinking buying some things in the cash shop, but the moment you begin to force us see ads. Yeah, nah, Im not going to bother with your game anymore. Do better. Also, Ask someone if they want to see a ad if they click on a watchable ads unit or gear. Im trying to read a description on a gear when it it just plays whenever we let go of the gear. Most of the time, wasting our time for something that Im not going to use for that whole match.
This game goes between so easy it's boring, and completely impossible. There is no middle ground. Also, your progress and success are dependent on watching ads. Even if you spend money on the app, you need to watch a whole lot of ads just to play certain gears, which since you only get 3 at random every round that is often your only choice (or just fail the round). Your progress will also be less than half if you don't watch the ad at the end of every round. It's just way too ad-dependent, with no way around it even by spending way more than this badly balanced game is worth.
Have to play too many ads in order to complete some levels. Hopefully they fix a bug where the level stops and has to be restarted. Love watching 6 ads and then restarting the levelnot.
It was actually a decent game, but on day 38 parts started to stop working. Screens are in another language or are blank now. So enjoy it for a month or so.
It could be a fun game if not for forcing ads or purchases for progression. Later levels requires watching 3 ads or more per level.
Either pay or watch a ton of ads to move up. Lame. Cool concept but the ads part sucks.
We got more than 4 character cards and cant figure out how to swap them out. The game didnt tell us and we cant figure it out.
In order to pass any wave beyond 3 (out of 12) you have to watch a 90 second ad you can skip to get enough troops. So thats almost 14 minutes of ads per level. Other than that the game is fun.
We like this game its a good idle game but when the mages come out and cast their spell they have an ear piercing ring that intensifies our tinnitus. We want to keep playing but that one sound effect is unbearable and causes us pain.
Ads were way too long. It was fun for the first few levels. Then you have to watch ads or pay to advance further.
It wont let us past the loading screen it wont load please fix this.
This is one of the best freaking games Ive ever played. NO FORCED ADS!! THE ad that we got for the game. IDENTICAL TO THE GAME PLAY!!! Its also genuinely a very fun game to play. Its really a hidden treasure right now among mobile games.
Great game but it keeps freezing in the middle of a level. Any fixes for this.
Its great but it sometimes lags we also love the fact that you get rewards for adds.
We are so sorry for your loss and we hope you find peace in your heart and soul and that you find peace and peace in your life.
No forced ads (so far) and the progression feels really nice, even at level 25 or so. Watching ads will get you out of a pinch, but definitely able to progress without paying any money or watching many ads.
This game is so gooodd and tuff it literally has no ads and its super fun to play with yall should get this we never got bored playing this game.
Ads for game are actually honest. Fun game aside from having to do ads for certain gears. Easy to pick up for beginners and addicting if it appeals to you.
We like the gameplay but one thing that we find annoying is how we have to guess what enemies are gonna be on the level so we ca change what type of troops Im using, then Ill bring the wrong ones and waste energy. And all our 3 difficulties have different enemies and we cant track that. If the game had like an enemy list per level that would be very beneficial. Also ads are a big part of the game and most of our wins have been because we watched an ad or two during the game which makes progression pointless if you arent able to win with what you have on your own.
Great game but experiencing issues with claiming prizes. The words are glitching to another language and not allowing movement to other tabs.
We really like the game and ads are optional but the troops get stuck at the gear and don't advance. Once that happens, our base gets destroyed because we can't defend. It seems once the food maxes out that's when it gets stuck? Not sure but please fix this so we can continue this fun game.
The concept is really fun. But enemies just out-perform the characters so that you have to watch ads to win. Yes you can fail for 2 weeks and level up enough to beat another stage, but then the enemies become too strong and you're stuck again.
The Paladin guy is bugged. He doesnt swing his weapon and occasionally he will freeze the whole game making you reset the game and lose your progress.
