Community Insight:
Great game but there is a glitch in lvl 3.4 That makes it impossible to save the villager.
The game is decently enjoyable and a good way to kill time. However it gets a 2 star from us because we purchased the Epic kit in game and its not working. So Im out the cash we paid for it. Ive reached out to them by have yet to hear anything. Well see what happens.
Purchased the beginner pack. They charged us. We received nothing. Dont buy this game.
Decent game unfortunately it crashes a lot and its always towards the end of a hard battle and you gotta start all over again. The purchases are sketchy, sometimes you get it sometimes you dont and the restore purchases button is useless.
We love tower defense games, so naturally we saw this game and thought, looks real cool but then we started playing the game and our expectations were blown away. Really a true gem of an app and great mechanics. Hope this review helps the developers know that their hard work is appreciated.
Update to store eliminates free tokens or coins. Greed kills another fun game. Sad :(.
Fun game but there's a bug on level 3.4 that kills the citizen immediately so it's impossible to get 3 star. It does crash every once in a while for us, but other than that it's a good way to kill time.
We really wanted to like this game. It had the right elements to make a good TD…,but it kept crashing..gave it a week and a Half…would've gave it a five for sure if it wasn't for that.
Still cant upgrade towers or use any buttons on main screen.
Recently purchased one of the upgrade packages and never got it on the game. We had to contact apple support to get our money back. Emailed the developer and called a number posted on their site and they told us we had the wrong number.
Our 6 year old son loves this game and he now got us into playing it with him. Its a lot of fun. The ads can be annoying but this game has less than we were expecting so thats a plus.
We tried buying something and it did not work.
This is a great game, overall one of the tower defences because it gets harder over time (thats what she said) it also has unique heros which this company is known for. 5 stars cant wait for the next release.
This is a wonderful game, not very difficult but still a wonderful game. Thank you to the dev team and anyone else who worked to make this happen.
Interesting game. Fun to play. Game control is easy to learn.
It's definitely one of the best tower defense games we've ever played. It combats the common problem of getting boring after you've already built a solid defense by limiting resources and shortening individual missions to keep you engaged. It's relaxing and a good pick-up-and-play for when your bored.
Beautiful graphics and gameplay.
Perfect if you are bored. Mindless pleasure of tower defense.
We love Tower defense because they are so FUN so we gave it fivestars.
Fun game Easy to play Been playing it for years Great game for a quick tower defense game.
This is fun, but after a point somewhere around level 20 it stops being any kind of challenge.
The major issue with this game is difficulty/cash shop. We feel bad knowing all this other heroes/towers are added to the game, knowing no one will use them. The Hard difficulty is trivial with the free starter heroes and towers. The cash shop offers no incentive to purchase anything, as it wouldnt even speed up completing the game. Some other somewhat glaring problems in no particular order 1. Only a few towers have upgrade animations. Some towers have 3 levels, some have 5 with no additional choices 2. At 4X speed and up, the Jedi towers break, spazzing the units across the screen and flashing everywhere 3. Level length is too short, and theres really only about 6-7 enemies. Even at 2X speed, a level takes only a minute or two. When the levels are this short, theres no long term strategy so you just place any tower wherever and youll still win (even on hard!) 4. Power balance of towers. Youll be fine really with any of them, but you can just spam fire mage and go AFK. Its cheaper than the Jedi tower and is way too OP 5. Varying texture resolution. Some assets are clean/crisp, but most are blurry and undefined when you really look at them 6. No indication before starting a level if there will be air/water units. Nothing like making it to the last wave just to have 5 helicopters teleport to the end, and you need a special tower to take them down. Great replaying the entire thing just to put one different tower For a game that ripped most of the core gameplay off of an already established title, you need to improve on those mechanics, not half bake each one. A lot of good things going on though, and with a little polish, could easily rival KR and similar games.
This game is a re skin scamof another tower defense game.
This game is a shameless ripoff of the Kingdom Rush series. The gameplay, features, maps, and even to some extent the music are all shoddy imitations, but it all feels clunky and hastily put together. Its a disappointing plagiarism and a huge disrespect toward Ironhide Games. Do better.
The game is fun. Fun enough to spend some dollars on it. But when you dont receive what you puchased it is a downer. But hey nothing is perfect, no problem. When then you request support and nobody responds then this just p#ss-poor and you deserve no stars.
This is 100% one of our favorite tower defense game. The music. The art. If you are reading this review check out the game you wont regret downloading it.
Purchased the guitarist and monk tower pack, got charged unlocked ads, bought two more towers which unlocked but feel like got fleeced. Wish someone would help.
Still terrible in EVERY conceivable way. Energy is the mind killer. Not just pay to win (it is), but also pay to play. They bribe people in game! For good reviews, which should be banned. Original review: we don't get the good reviews for this game. It's one of those TD games that people have slapped different skins on, but you see the same game over and over. There's a timer to play (or you can pay) and the difficulty ramps up quickly, leaving you to grind or pay. It doesn't feel like any strategy is really needed, just deep pockets or a LOT of patience. No fun. No fun at all. Worst game ever.
Keeps you busy, entertained and happy.
Paid for the beginner kit which includes coins and no ads…this is a lie we got the coins but there are still ads at every turn. What gives.
Fun game but terrible. Crashes a lot. Finished the first front and didnt load new maps. Finished some games and it just doesnt load. Im done with this game.
Great game and been having fun so far. But somewhere in the code you need to correct the soldier building, everytime you upgrade; their assigned post reset. So we have to redirect where to stand each time.
Hi we love this game a lot but whenever we press league, it just stays on a loading screen.plz help.
Literally started the game and wiped the guys faces off the map on first mission. Mission number two unable to kill any one on normal. Felt like what the heck and tried hard killed everyone. Seems to be some bad programming that is making level two normal difficulty impossible. Unable to get any further in game due to this issue.
Good tower defense game – would be even better if it had less ads :).
Very good game it just neeeds some more difficulty.
This game is glitching and shutting down on levels 12 right before we complete the board. Really upset because we spent money on this game! Will rate higher once this is fixed.
After trying the trial, this game always crashes in level 23 and cant progress, no matter how many times you try. Also there are a lot of ads. Really disappointing.
Game is very buggy. We cant beat a level because the game crashes right before the end, regardless of which level. Tower selection is not remembered between sessions. Cannot move two characters to the same spot (one is deselected and the other is selected instead). No way to know what each characters ability does. We paid for ad free and still have to watch an ad to collect our reward from spinning the wheel. Not worth your time. IPhone 7+ iOS 13.2.
We are a huge fan of tower defense games and this game is no exception but we have been playing some of these levels and have been noticing that some of the levels are exact copies of levels in kingdom rush frontiers for example level 3.1 is the exact same path layout and map shape as level 6 in kingdoms rush, and level 3.2 is the exact same as level 14 in kingdom rush just with two of the fake Paths have been turned into real paths.
Fun, but gets repetitive quick which is fine but then there soooooo many ads in between. And the ads are long so makes it not with it. And after awhile it just starts crashing. Cant finish any levels. Ill get to the final wave and the app closes out on us.
We really want to like this game but it has a lot of pay wall issues. You get 4 tower slots for free with one more unlocked by watching a video each day and a 1$ for the last slot. The same goes with heroes. Unfortunately you can only obtain about 1/3 of the heroes via play the others are all 2$ pay walls each. The game is definately designed to be a grind but thats just to pad content which isnt really a crime just a way to keep you around. We do dislike the bate and switch with the ads. You can pay money to remove ads (which we did) we thought to remove frivolous ads but instead just reduces them in order to bottleneck you into ads that cant be bypassed. We assume to playcate you hey give you currency for watching an add you didnt want but we do feel its kind of shady why charge you to remove ads and then not remove ads.. We cant in good conscience stick around for these practices.
We wanted to like this game, looked like it had some promise. But the moment we realized we needed some kind of "energy" to keep playing, instant zero stars in our opinion. We understand other in app purchases and ads needed to pay for the game, but any game that has an "energy" wall is toxic and deserves to be boo'd.
We really like the challenge in this game the graphics are cool as well! 5/5 stars would recommend.
5th level when citizen crosses the finish line crash to iPad home screen and we have to restart app and restart level. We have most recent version. Its horrible.
Theres lack of info when going into battle, theres should be what kind of defenses needed, we.e. Air defense. If you think this app is free, you are in luck to watch ads after each mission. Have fun at that. THIS IS A PAID TO WIN GAME.
It would be an easy mindless TD, but they follow a pay to win business model. You get pounded every game with 30 sec ads and extra ads if you want virtual currency. Every thing in this game involves paying eventually. It starts off as free, but its clearly just a cash grab to get kiddies to subscribe to $155/year plus all the extras you can buy.
Thanks for the new levels .. Gonna need more soon.
Like graphic and animation Love how soldiers run Best ever.
We have enjoyed tower defense games for a while and this one does not disappoint. The game has a lot of different towers and cool graphics.
