Community Insight:
Fun, but the ads amount is atrocious.
If you like playing the game 40% of the time, then putting your phone down for extended periods of time while an add plays, then coming back to your phone to play for a couple minutes before an add, then this game is for you! If you wanna buy the add free game, do it, but we wont. Fun concept, but greedy business model.
Our dad was playing so we started playing and it is quite a good game. It is very fun! Definitely recommended for people who like playing tower defense games.
Great game but later stages take very long even with the pay to fast forward. Would be nice if the PvP was actually versus real players. Currently sitting in #1 in masters. Havent lost a game in 200+ games.
But If you offer a reward/better reward for watching an ad then dont show an ad if we decline the offer.
Fun game. Didnt play much PvP. One big complaint from us is that the game (and the ads it allows) doesnt respect our phones mute button. Even setting the in-game setting to mute, we continued to hear sounds from the ads.
Honestly its a fun game to play for the most part. The only issue is the ridiculous amount of ads there are. After every single wave it lets you pick an upgrade, and after you pick one, it gives you an ad. Its just annoying having a pop up every single wave. Please just tone down the ads, one after each wave is plain ridiculous.
Fun game concept but it causes our iPhone to become extremely hot and drain the battery within a very short period of time. Needs bug fixes to resolve this.
We'll be on stage 10/15 and we'll get an ad that will make us force shut down the app and start over. We haven't been able to get past this one level because everytime we get close we get have to shut down the app. Kind of annoying.
We dont understand why we keep losing our $$$ after finishing the round. The daily/ task is to refresh your cards 3 times. So where are the cards.
This is our favorite game; its extremely addictive and we can play for hours. Theres just one problem: 8/10 times when we watch an ad, even if its not one we chose to watch, itll glitch at the last few seconds and we wont be able to exit out, and ill be forced to leave the game and start the round completely over from the beginning. Its driving us away from the game and we would love for it to be fixed. Its getting tiring having to restart our round almost every time because the ad glitches and we cant exit out of it.
Its a fun gameplay loop, but theres so many adds. After every battle, the game pops a prompt for you to buy something. Half of the game is just skipping adds. The game looks like it was made in 5 mins in the back a moving truck.
This game is fun simple but entertaining. However the ads are obnoxious and even if you pay to remove the forced ads they still play everyone you select an upgrade while playing. This ruins the experience in our opinion. We dont mind paying to remove ads but if nothing changes youre just stealing our money.
We love the game and it is 5 stars in our book however some levels should be at least 30 waves so you actually have a real challenge to manage space plus time and a reason to upgrade your towers to the max and see some cool action in the game. Seems like the only exciting challenge so far are a random level within the wave that passes really fast and done. Im on level 56 and its getting a bit boring not to have a reason to maximize towers. We have passed levels with 2 towers including the one that automatically appears. Loyal players need a challenge.
This game is really fun. If they make it quicker, Ill come back and add the 5th star. The game play takes forever so we bought the speed-up but that only makes it about 10% faster AND you have to f hold down the accelerator to get it to speed up. The entire game should be about 10x faster without the speed up.
The game is extremely fun to play but when we were on a level, it gave us like 7 adds in the first few minutes of the it. And the worst thing is it was only one type off add, it was about free robux which was very annoying. ( LESS ADDS AND MABEY we WILL PUT FIVE STARS).
This game is fun and all but progression is hard and upgrades are expensive. Also there are so many ads every upgrades you get during a round theres an ad.
Way to many goddam adds, game itself is good.
So Ive been playing this game for a couple weeks now. Ive been enjoying it, but its getting boring because theres no challenge. We can win all pvp matches we have played by using only 1 tower type and merging it to max. Ive made it to diamond league so far. Now the regular battles arent much different either. Ok the map has changed but Im still killing all the enemies before they even appear on the map. With one tower. Granted Im only at level 34 because Ive done the pvp more. But we still expect a decent challenge. TL:DR game needs a challenge mode or difficulty settings of some sort. Its getting boring because its too easy.
Newest update requires you to watch an ad to use spots. A little overkill.
Really fun game easy to play since new update added a season pass it become even harder to upgrade weapons almost making it a requirement to play. Also while playing a match you have to watch a ad to unlock areas of the map which is dumb.
We brought a special that said no add because the game would be 10x better but still have ads smh.
We actually really enjoy this game and spend a lot of time playing it. We have purchased the forced ad remover and the permanent blessing pack. Our biggest complaint is that there is no way to get gems in game except for purchasing them. Our sniper tower is currently at level 2,300 because we cannot spend our hero currency on any other hero tower. We are not opposed to purchasing the hero packs but they are too expensive to justify unlocking one hero tower. Maybe add a small amount of gems as a wave reward after a certain level to encourage people to continue grinding levels. We are currently at level 306, all towers unlocked and every tower at level 100+ aside from some of the support towers we do not use. Consider adding a free to play way to gain gems for those that are dedicated to the game and progress far enough. Also, why does the game keep taking our currency away after we complete a new level? Just went down to zero after completing stage 306.
We would pay a small fee to remove the ads interruption.
Its actually pretty good and its pretty entertaining. The levels are VERY VERY LONG tho. The levels take like 10-20 minutes each. Its not the monkey game :(.
Paid for no ads and felt like they had more after we paid to have none.
Paid for no ads and still forced to watch Will update soon before deleting So far buyer beware.
A new TD game, cool we thought. Until after a few levels, oh, its one of THOSE games. Killing the stacks and you get the same (low) amount. Buying towers or up grading them, and they get more expensive with each one. Making building the credits/diamonds/whatever take longer each time. And of course an Ad with each level passed or upgrade. Typical. Are you developers really that hungry? Or are your new car payments more than you thought. We expect to delete this sometime soon.
The ads happen at every stage. Occasionally itll skip one but for the most part you get an ad at the end of every wave. You might as well just pick the power up that requires an ad cuz youre gonna sit through one no matter what. Or just play a different game. We get annoyed after like 5 minutes and its a shame because the game itself is simple but fun.
Loved this game. Bought ad removal. It came back. The restore purchases button doesnt work. No place in the app to get help. No place on voodoos website to contact. Sooooo, just screwed here. If you restore our purchase, we will change our review back.
The ads are insane. Also 1 thing we NEED THE MONEY TOWERRR.
We lost track of how many ads we had to watch just to complete one level. We understand the ads, but you only get to play for about two minutes before the next ad.
This game had no ads now all of a sudden they are putting ads and now u have to pay to get rid of them smh.
We really enjoy the game and have been playing for a couple months. Would be a five star rating but they just added forced ads like most games eventually do to make an extra dollar. Then they offer to remove them for $7.
Nearly half an hour for the 11th level?? With ads every few minutes. The game itself is fun, but the mission length and ad frequency are out of control. PvP matches are much more reasonable for a mobile game. Just a few minutes.
Ads used to be optional. You could watch them to double your rewards, get stronger ones, etc. One every once in a while was worth it. Now theyve saturated the game with them and have a remove ads microtransaction. Complete a match? Ad. Picking any power up between waves? Ad. Finished a round? Ad. Sometimes we will toss a game a couple bucks to remove all ads, but it feels bad now that theyve taken a step backwards.
We love playing this game, but we're rating it low because the glitches in the coins are the worst. You don't always collect the coins to upgrade the towers, which makes you skeptical about purchasing the paid version. Who wants to waste money.
We used to be obsessed with this game! You used to be able to choose when you would get ads, and we would intentionally watch them all the time for the rewards they gave. Recently, there's been an update and the ads are forced, random, and give no reward. So, we've uninstalled and will not play it any more.
Was pretty addicted to this game until they forced ads on you then makes you pay if you dont want ads every click.
We thoroughly enjoy the concept of this game and the different versions of the tower tiers. But the list of dislikes is sadly much longer. We hate that you have to hold down the 2x button after paying to unlock it. They just added ads randomly to the mid tier upgrades offered in the matches. We see no damage progression after towel level 100. We see no damage bonus for different versions of the tower unlocked at lvl 25, 50, and 100. The maps are all the same (we get that there isnt much you can do with them). PvP gives no incentives. We can clear a PvP match and get 500 gold or clear a level and get 500,000 gold. This game has so much potential, but its being left to rot or the theyre adding things like random ads that further detract from the game. Theres more that could be said, do better.
4 Stars: When you get your guns to a certain level, it seems like you have no problems winning all levels. We thought that the levels should get harder as you level up. Guess not. 2 stars: Update and a lower star rating just played for less than 10 minutes and had multiple IN-LEVEL ads. If this is how it is going to be from now on, we will have to reconsider keeping the app or deleting it. Why in the world would someone put in level ads as it makes the game not fun to play. Games that have more ad time than gameplay are not fun to play.
We played the game every day since we got it we are now so addicted to it and every one should play it.
Where did the blessings go was that for an event or something? Otherwise, the game is great time killer.
We play the game and thats not even how its played.
This game is great, we play it quite a bit when im lookkingto kill time. However our only real motivation for playing this game is to unlcok more towers, but it feel like these levels are far too easy. Im on level 101 and not a single sweat has been broken since the earliest levels. It needs to be harder, it needs to be more unique, this game can be so much better. Even small changes like adding more maps would make us happy.
We love this game, but Ive noticed that after a few rounds, once it hits the 80,000-100,000 it gets very slow and glitchy. Causes us to lose rounds all the time going against other players. Please fix.
We play this game a lot tbh. When Im waiting for games on PS5 to load, we can sit on here and just waste time playing this. Only problem we have is its super easy. Maybe make a difficulty? And can skills happen more often? We feel like its going for 15 mins, it clears 5 mins, and then we finally get a skill. Like we said the games super easy. So maybe add a difficulty and skills happen more often in higher difficulties.
The stages arent long enough for us to fully upgrade our toward. And the wave rewards has an option for 5%-10% off. But if a tower costs 119 diamonds and we get the 10% off. The tower should cost 11.9 diamonds. Not 110 after getting the 10% off.
