What Makes Grow Castle! Stand Out
It is a defense game to protect the castle from enemy attack.
If growth can be placed in the castle tower and the hero on each floor.
Archer of the town is becoming a lot more more powerful the more upgrades.
More than 80 heroes can use their own skills.
Some heroes are made to give a strong archers of the town, another hero is cursed enemy.
This strategy is important because only a hero can be mounted up to nine.

Please finish the fix on the server so we can do something a guild leader.
We love this game BUT we're stuck in a guild with people we can't kick or even leave because we can't change guild master please fix we're rank 800 and at wave 17k we don't want to have to restart.
THIS GAME IS FLIPPIN AWESOME BUT we RAN OUT OF STUFF TO DO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A SECOND ONE.
This game is so much fun. It has all the fun parts of a mindless clicker while still being interacting and engaging. So much fun. POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENT! If you could add a button for the Hero's that have to manually select a target every time (this pauses the game and interrupts game flow) to enable them to fire at a pre-determined spot, automatically. This would be toggable between manual and automatic inbetween rounds. There is an empty spot available in the target AI menu that would be perfect! Anyways just a suggestion.
This game is great and it's easy to play but we have realized we had do not have the Tips button and we're not able to join a guild we don't know if there is not an update yet for iOS or what is happening someone please help.
First of all this is a super fun game but, there are a couple things that could use improvement. There are several spelling errors, seconds is spelled senconds a lot. Also when your take over the little campaign city things and the guy starts shipping you gold, that needs an offline timer so we don't have to leave our phone on to keep our income going. Same thing with the workers in the town. Other than those minor things this is a great wave defense game.
In the game our friends have towers like the ballista on top of the of actual castle but we're past him in the game and we don't have access to it which we thought was strange also a third speed option in hell would probably be nice(adding on to a review further down) besides that great game.
Whenever we start this game it says 37 or 38 percent never moves we've waited a full hour it still didn't so if you could please fix this that would be nice thanks.
Hey we started playing this game recently and it's amazing! It's so addictive as well. We really like the whole concept of the game and the different ways to set up your towers. We hope to see more updates come out for this game. Overall one of the best tower defense games out there right now 5/5 stars.
This our 2nd review in years and we have to say this game is awesome, very fun and addicting. Maybe some extra ways to earn diamonds would be nice. Also some skills to upgrade.
Hello we have been playing this game for about a month now and we can say that we're an addicted to this game! We would love to see a third speed option for hell mode just because once you get a higher score it takes so long to get up there. So please consider thanks. And your game definitely deserves five stars.
Brilliantly designed game with a reasonable progression curve that keeps you playing. A wide variety of power-ups, defenses, and builds to try. Has new content added fairly regularly.
Ive gotten to level 202 and upgraded our castle, heroes, ect. We've noticed on our friends version that he can customize his castle. We wanna be able to do that. Please and thank you. Still a good game though.
Every time when we hit the battle button, we usually battle the next wave and sometimes we get the "Where's the hero?" Game that give you a gift if you complete it. The one thing we don't like about the "Where's the hero?" Game, is that it has a lime limit in which you have to wait for a couple of minutes to answer and every time you go out of the game and get back in and touch either the battle or the replay button (etc.), the time resets and it gets boring a bit if you ask us. So we were wondering if you could fix that please okay? Thanks.
We truly enjoy this game! As long as they keep bring updates put it'll keep being fresh and fun… Keep up the work and keep those updates coming.
It's really a wonderful game, but we're stuck in Gift- where is the hero. And we couldn't play.
We were having lots of fun with this game. However, when we exited the game out and we tried to load the app to play, the loading screen kept on getting stuck at around 38% and we couldn't play the game after that. We tried restarted our phone and reinstalling the app but everyone we tried to open the app it continued to stay on the loading screen unable to log into the game. Please fix this asap.
Why does it say that our waves will not count due to leaderboard change.
Amazing Game ! Lets get some updates :).
Great fun game. We hope to see more updates in the future.
This is a good game but we're not getting the gold from the dragon when you kill it our gold stays the same after we collected the gold. The bug is fixed now.
We have no problem with the watching the game but the girt system is bane of our existence because when you have to wait 10+ minutes we wish there was a "x" we could press and close the gift thing.
Seems to be crashing on us every once in a while. It started shortly after the 13th update. Love the game, but we agree with the last review…. Castle changes, Etc.
This game is fun! The art style, sounds, music and gameplay all work together nicely. You start off a bit awkward, not knowing what to do, but then you easily get the hang of it. Although there's a lot to conquer from towns to monster waves and dragons, it starts to become a little monotonous. At the beginning of the game, you obtain many advancements and feel more powerful after each wave, but quickly reach a plateau and easily feel like you're not progressing much in strength. Suggestion: at the beginning of the game you can obtain fire, ice and lightning golems. Placing a few more to obtain later on (around strength 1000 or more) would provide a goal to work towards, or maybe even being able to summon mini dragons to help in battle.
We love this game. We play it all the time. Please keep adding new features.
Good game but we would like to see it balanced better with more upgrade options. For normal waves it was almost too easy. There should be more strategy.
Great game, player named slideguy thats known for giving waves them backshots.
We think its a very good game! Ive been playing for about 8 years across different devices, and we think its a fairly balanced game with good morals. We do think they should add more stuff for gems because of their unique uses! For example you could make specific traits for towns? Like you could turn it into a slave trading business for extra gold, or, you could make it a full kingdom increasing your summoners units power by a small bit because of the large amounts of cities there are.
This is definitely our number one favorite games. There is no ads unless you want in game currency, the only negative thing we can think of is the amount of characters and upgrades for youre tower you can get, not saying there isnt enough we just wish there was a bit more.
Why are you only allowed a maximum of 25 on the skill tray per build if they say more than that available for the entire circle because clearly if one wants to make a absurd build the fill out the whole circle. Theyre going more than 25 points star points that is. If the developer can get back to us on this question that be great we are really curious.
Ever since we were a wee little fourth grader, Ive enjoyed the addictive tower defense game known as grow castle. Pls give us 13th hero slot.
Been playing this off and on for years, so brutally addictive that we have almost every gaming system and game and we still keep comin back.
Its a over all 10/10 game we love it Ive been playing it since it first came out and its only gotten better and better we wish it updated with new characters way more often tho but thats our only complaint Ive never had any issues or bugs not anything major anyways the only ads we get is when we watch a video for like extra gold or something but yeah we love this game.
So we started a cult around this game with our friends called the bolt defenders and we had fun 5/5.
Grew up with this game very fun lots to do in it too.
We love this game. We just wish there were more upgrades. The thorn worms upgrades could be more rows of spikes or poison damage overtime since theyre that element, the anti air tower and cannon tower should have upgrades too. Also, leaders would be awesome to have upgrades for too. Overall its a great game and we dont dislike it for the lack of upgrades but we do think there could be more.
Recently, we thought of a new treasure that could be added into the game Suggestion New Treasure: Kings Note Cost: 99 crystals Benefits Auto start battles Negetives No ACTIVE abilites Description The Kings Note is a treasure that sits next to the dragon key. It auto STARTS a battle, but no active abilities are able available to be used during the battle, even hero abilities. Hope youve enjoyed our recommendation, if you do decide to code it in, we wish you luck in coding, cause we know how hard it can be. -BerzerkgamerYT.
When will you add Russian language.
We love this game as it is one that we love just to pass time and we also love the character designs though we will say recently our account that we just made just erased but to be fair we didnt save or connect it with any e-mails so we are forced to restart the game from the beginning though this game is definitely worth playing.
Every time we get to 170 extra diamonds and we get like 20 extra diamonds, which puts us at 190 the next day we check it and its still 170.
It honestly our favorite game but whenever we get the auto time from the daily rewards it disappears after we reopen the game. Its happened already 3 times. If yall could if it Ill make this review 5stars.
That pop up is getting super aggravating and we cant even play the game anymore.
Ok. Fun at first but lots of ads and it gets very repetitive.
We earned 2 hours of auto attack and it disappeared.
Please add something new add new heroes something like the dark bow master a hero where we can rely on and upgrade and use it as a main damage hero.
So after playing for a bit we landed on wave 1814 and enemy didnt take any damage, in fact, 80% of the towers didnt detect it, please fix this, other then that the game is great, Maybe add another witch.
Are there ever going to be updates for iOS.
We love this game we have for our old phone but we're so glad you got it iPhone we're sooooo glad we can get it now.
So we really love this game!! The only thing we don't understand is why gold does not accumulate while the game is closed, like it completely stops of you get out of it, and if we get a text or a call it stops and sometimes it keeps going or sometimes it freezes and we have to start again. Please fix it.
