Found ourselves playing for hours, super strategic and addicting! Highly recommend.
We like the new graphics and the boss looks much cooler but tha characters graphics we dont like we like the older one better these new cartoonish characters look stupid like scary is cool cartoonish is kinda lame to be honest with ya you could have made them more scary now Im wondering if we should delete this game or not because it went from battle mode to baby slap box if you want us to keep playing and wotching your adds so you would get money to upgrade your game please put the characters back to the way thay was before because now tha only ones we like is tha 500 gems skull characters if you dont put them back to tha old people we may end up deleting this game.
We were playing the game it looked fun but now the characters look cartoonish and feel like they do less damage.
Been playing this game for a while and its a good mindless game. The update with new graphics/art is not appealing. We feel like it has transitioned to a toddler game. Very disappointed, please go back to how it was before or improve what you have now.
Woke up today to find Voodoo trashed the main dudes and other artwork. The original art was great; please undo this grave misguided mistake, Voodoo! This new ART is just awful. Im immediately angry every time we fire the game up now. Playing it is a lot LESS fun now.
The game play was much better before the update, now it looks no better than a knock off of an original.
After the recent update the art style turned into a baby game and now it doesnt look as good and makes us want to delete the game.
So, got this a couple of months ago, got hooked, and eventually maxed out our mini-gears and have our troops at 375+ levels.. As we are adverse to in game purchases, Ive slowly been building up our gems for another team just to see what they did differently from the Forest and Savage groups. Went on this morning, and we see new, cutesy art and now our troops are effective at a 50 to 100 level against the baddies. We know this is probably from much younger players, but there wasnt much wrong with the characters as they were. This is almost like taking your siblings plush collection and facing off against a mech squad. It was fun to watch the skirmishes and find the best gear mix, but now it is just a little painful to watch. Im all up for tuning the melee balances, but woah.. All those cute smily faces now getting pummeled by evil forces is almost too much. Good game, though. Maybe another update will change things again.
After the upgrade, the overall style is too ugly.
Is the improved art in the room with us? It went from being a game we wouldnt mind getting caught playing in the break room to having the art of a toddler character.
Not our kind of game at all but we were bored with everything else we were playing so we thought what the h_ll and we havent stopped playing. Great characters non stop action the commercials are both reasonable in numbers and worthwhile.
Fun game. Just unlocked everything. Hoping for some new content soon.
At the moment it costs around 80k grays to upgrade a single troop one level. We get 25 grays to reroll 15 times. Not 25k, no no 25. Pointless quests.
This is a fun game, however after a week or so of playing its very repetitive. Of the 4 factions you can only use 2 without paying for gems that are hard to earn. Now we are at a point where we cannot complete the daily quests because we have maxed out a tech tree. There are also aspects that dont make sense on the mini games.
First up, the good. No forced ads that we noticed (though lots of buttons to prompt an ad for rewards). No banner ads. But … The balance is extremely bad. Your own troops are worthless, no matter how good they are, because the enemy troops outscale them dramatically, easily doing 15-50x the damage to your troops than your troops can do to them. (and their health scales the same, too). Can't even win by spamming troops because they will get AoE one-shotted, often from range. // It becomes a matter of hoping you get a good attack gear quickly. Get a good gear going with a relatively high speed, and then … Cakewalk. Still may have some leakers though w/o lots of attack gears at a high speed, but the final wave is often defeated by your attack gears before your first troop has even landed on the ground. It's fun for a bit, and then it's just … Frustrating at the start of a run and boring at the end of a run. shrug.
The game is fun, but we have a few issues. The first is that, like with many other games, there is no way to tell what something does or how strong a gear is until you use it, and even then, it can be hard to gauge. The second and more important thing is that after a couple stages in, there is a significant dropoff in terms of effectiveness from units. They very quickly go from keeping up with enemies, and even overwhelming them in large numbers, to being completely useless. Youll notice that you can upgrade a unit or two in between runs, but only by small margins. Ill have a unit with 1600 health and 400 damage go up against enemies that have 9000 health and deal 6000 damage. Youre quickly forced to rely on the spell gears or whatever theyre supposed to be called. Theres nothing wrong with relying on them, but its annoyed being forced to do so for every run, especially considering the first few rounds of each run are essentially just wasting time letting enemies through. Better power scaling with the individual units would significantly improve this game.
Its a really fun game and we enjoy it but the levels get to hard to fast unless you play the same stage over and over to upgrade your people then the enemies will always be to strong to deal with.
We love the game, and played for days before we realized we were just doing the same patterns/troops over and over. Unlocked multiple evolutions, but nothing really changed. Maybe a PvP mode, or an event on weekends.
Game is fun for a little then its just to easy. Troops are merely there to slow down the enemies while you blast them with skill gears. Boss fight is to easy and not worth doing for 1k gems when Im getting 300k gems for beating a level. Seriously Im on level 17 and we might run one or two troop gears. The skill gears are the only way to go with the x.x multipliers and a couple 8 gears.
We normally dont write review, but Im pretty impressed by this game. First thing, theres zero forced ads! That alone is impressive. They offer ads for boost and stuff that, but 20-25 second ads at most. We also havent been asked once to spend a single penny. No pop up offers to blow your money on nonsense. Lastly the game is actually really fun. Smooth game play, good graphics. All in all definitely worth it. Only criticism we have is with occasional bugs. Every once in a while we lose sound after we play a ad, but like we said, occasionally. Hopefully they ad a multiplayer element to it in the future, some gear, things like that. With that said, great addictive game.
We found this app through an ad on a different game, which we dont play anymore because Im now obsessed with this game! Super easy to follow and understand the gameplay and its so much fun! Great time waster! The ONLY thing we dont like is that theres no way to see what the different gears do or the stats. It would be great if there were like a gallery to see them and see what they do and maybe even upgrade the individual gears that arent fighters.
We wasnt sure what to expect with these new games. Most seem to have a crazy amount of forced adds every five seconds. These adds are only ones you choose to watch and the gameplay is really kinda fun we just burned 4 hours of our day before we knew what was going on. Nice game guys.
We stumbled across this game in an ad and thought we would try it out. We like that it's literally just this. No base to defend or league to join or daily quests. Nice and simple time passer. Love the look of the new update and just in time. We were at the limits of everything lol. But now we can upgrade more.
You will always lose some HP the first round of every stage. Im not sure why this is forced upon you, unless youre really lucky. Just another money hungry rng heavy game thats very monotous, nothing really distinguishes each level from the last. Enemies scale wayyyy harder than you do. Good for maybe a few days or a week of entertainment, no real lasting value out of this game.
We glitched out after upgrading our skill tree before it prompted us to do it after beating the first 10 waves now its prompting us to buy something we already bought and wont let us do anything now just froze on the lobby now even after multiple resets and turning our phone off and back on cant play till its fixed please help.
Great game very addictive bonus you only see ads when you want to see them.
Would like to know what all the different gears do. It would be nice to have a legend of the gears.
Made it to chapter 3, troops fairly leveled up; but as soon as we get stars on them we never get offered the troop again. Im getting destroyed on a level, but after we watch an ad suddenly Im kicking everythings butt. Its great that you arent forced to watch ads on a passive game like this, but it seems like the difficulty goes way down if you watch an ad, especially when it doesnt do anything except give you a free arrow gear.
The game is fun, but really feels under development.
Please remove the gear cool down because we do not like it and it makes the game way less boring. Please respond to this please.
We like the game its challenging and you really dont have to spend money good job guys and gals.
The games is a different take on the tower defense kind of game. But there are issues. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE NO ADS. It doesnt do anything but take your money.
The game updated and now its different. We tried it out for some time but its not the same. We dont understand why there is a cool down after unit spawn, that kind of caps the speed of production so it seems like upgrading the gears do nothing after a gear movement. Its become boring now so Ill likely just delete it.
Was fun until ads were popping up every few levels got unplayable fast.. Deleted game on the second day of playing.
This game is fun to pick up but it could definitely use some improvements. One of our main issues with it is lack of stat descriptions for each gear. A stat should be added saying how many rotations a gear will need before it summons. Why do gears of the same purchase price and color take different times to spawn? Why does Shade (purple 12) take 10x to spawn as Torin (blue 12)? Both cooldowns are the same. And both are brawlers. Chompy (blue 12 brawler with 2 sec cooldown as well) takes longer too. Needs more character stats and descriptions.
Whenever an Ad pops up, after finished closing it, the game audio AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON. Even if you set it all to "mute" (no audio whatsoever), the Ads will just turn your game audio back on. What's the point of that setting if the Ads will just enable the game audio, anyway.
With the new game update our in game purchases went to waste, disappointed losing all the time and money we put into the game before the update to reset us.
Fun for the first big but becomes very difficult without purchasing bundles. Often times you'll upgrade your gear and when you log back in the upgrades and resources are gone.
Its a fun game. Progression does get harder without spending money. This last update introduce forced ads. We pretty much watch just about every ad for a boost but now youre getting ads during gameplay. Sadly uninstalling due to it almost being unplayable now.
This game used to be fun, but eventually, you hit a spot where youre forced to spend money on upgrades otherwise you cant progress. And now on top of that you now get random ads that just pop up in the middle of your game! Greedy developers.
Optional adds only, have fun figuring out connections Update: now that we have made it decently into the levels it has begun forcing adds mid game, not just having optional ones. We watched quite a few when it was an option but will probably stop playing if the adds continue at this rate.
So it was enjoyable game. Might seem redundant at times which is fine and then the boss area was fun. Where we have a problem is first, there is no and we mean NO explanation on the gears. Second, the difficulty range seemed to change each day. The gears we used worked very well to not even denting anything. How that changed from one night to the next again there was no explanation. All well and good you have a 20.5k power rating vs the deck rating of 25.3k to which when we fought the boss it ran rough shod over our team. No reason not explaining on this game made us delete it. As we said, we were playing before there were any changes and was fun. When the changes happened it worked pretty good. Then this last iteration was now the last straw since we have no idea how any of our max cards are not even denting the attackers in the regular mode. Oh well.
What does the gear with the brain do.
Boss fight doesnt even after win and on boss screen directional bottom freezes the game and we have to force quit the game.
This game is fun to pick up and play anytime. We've noticed since last week, our quest menu is glitching and not letting us receive rewards but it has the ! Mark showing we did complete it on the first screen. We've finished off the two bosses and now that screen is also glitching. If you try to select anything, the buttons go from bright to dim and you have to shut the game completely out to do anything. Needs these bugs fixed badly and more bosses added please.
We really like the lack of forced adds! Reminds us of how phone games used to be.
Any level is to easy need updates the game.
Really enjoying this game and dont even mind opting for an ad every round to show our appreciation Recommend highly.
So far at 7/20 sporelight grove. Finished all the boss battles up to the second tier boss. No huge complaints so far. Very solid and great at time killing. Where Im at a lot of the levels seems fairly simple. We havent had a moment where the game felt like it kept us on a barrier or close to feeling like the level would be too difficult. Which is fine. Most similar type games keep you hard stuck sometimes and time gate you to build into resources before you can progress. So we do appreciate that. One thing we did notice was the meteor, yesterday when we used it, the meteor would land in the middle of our screen or on the gears and not on the surface of the play area. Will keep playing to see how hard the game ends up getting. But Ive definitely not quite felt challenged yet.
Fun game been enjoying not sure how we feel about the latest update. Many things are better but the cooldown rate on characters and such is way to slow now.
