What Makes Tiny Guardians Stand Out
From the creators of King’s League: Odyssey comes Tiny Guardians – a strategy TD game with a twist!
"I'm giving the game 5 stars, because I love everything about it. I will be playing until the brutal bitter end and loving all of it." – AppGamer (5/5)
"I can’t recommend it strongly enough. It’s a unique spin on tower defense that’s easily worth the price of admission." – Gamezebo (4.5/5)
"The concept is simple and different enough to separate this one from the rest, and it’s just a nice breath of fresh air when you think about it." – AppAdvice (4.5/5)

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We absolutely LOVE Tiny Guardians. Ive been playing it for years. We recently upgraded to the new iPhone 11 Pro Max and downloaded the game, but it doesnt fit the size of our screen. We dont know if the developers will see this, but if you do, PLEASE fix that! This game is not optimized for the newer iPhones but is still playable…but the aspect ratio (we think thats what its called) is just very small. Thank you so much! :).
We love this cute game. We need the rest of the story.
Its a challenging and interesting fun game.
It is cute cartoon character fighting against cute monsters and it is make us fun just by seeing this. Very good game to spend time at home in this situation.Thanks developer team.
We were expecting more Tower Defense and this game flips it on its head with you now running the gauntlet. Ive enjoyed the game substantially so far.
Really good game and gives a challenge.
This is really a great game. However, there are still some points need to change/improve: – As many players complain, the UI is too small. There are also some tiny issues with newer iOS version. – About the Alternative Appearance bundle. Since we got this game for free, we bought the bundle just to support the dev instead. On Steam, just $5 for the bundle and it will unlock 8 alternative guardians; in compare to iOS version, we paid $9 for the bundle and it unlocked only 4 alternative guardians. This is really not fair at all. Please do your best to fix and improve this great game. Thanks, our dev.
We cant stop playing!! Its super fun!! Highly recommend.
We havent see any games like this for a while. Its so nice that you guys come up with this idea and concept! Really love it.
It has the fun of a tower defense, while also making it harder with limited slots. If youre bad, dont worry, theres an easier difficulty.
We like the game its very clean. We wish that you could move the hero you can move every one else but the hero but so far its a great game and it plays very well.
This is a really great game.we cant say how much we love it.The graphics are really good too.Do not listen to the one star hater.Best game EVER PLAYED.
Its really fun if youre bored or on the road.
Great game but it could be better. The fact that the art style is so good fascinates us, but we wish there was a fast forward button because the gameplay is slower than we thought.
It is just a terrific little game. The different class types are more, or less, suited to the various quests. It isnt impossible or super easy and there are interesting synergies between the classes to exploit. Most of all you arent bombarded with internal advertising. It is totally worth some money.
We love the graphics and the design of the game its one the best games we have played and we will tell everyone we know that they should play.
Tried it on a whim but… To our surprise we are glued to the screen.
We really like this game we downloaded a few days ago and beat it today. It was a blast. Will there be any updates? We noticed the last update was two years ago :/.
This game is so fun and we love the idea the game may not be textured well but it looks cool and we love it cant wait to see a sequel but dont change any thing but the story.
We really enjoy games like this and we think they did a great job making this. It does remind us of tower defense games but we prefer this style instead. You can strategize, albeit only a little bit. We would love to have a way to make warrior classes stay in one position but other than that it was great.
Great balance and fun gameplay.
Es grandioso pero us gustara que tambin fuera en espaol :3 Thanks hermoso juegaso.
Great game and solid entertainment.
This game is sooooo addictive, we could not put it down. We feel like kenma.
So many games out there are so fun but youre constantly bombarded with ads. This game has no ads! Ads aside, the gameplay is very fun, and the art is very cute. Very easy to learn but its not stupid easy. Definitely give it a shot.
This is the best defense game thar we have ever played.
Ok we want to buy a unit with money. The Paladin. However, when we purchased the unit, the game crashes. We log back in to see it still not acquired. We buy it again (this time for free due to already purchasing it) but the game crashes once more. This repeats on and on. Why? You already fixed the bug with the bundle purchase. There goes our money down the drain without anything to show for it. Please fix it to the best of your abilities. Edited: Nevermind, after consistently restarting the app it worked all of a sudden but still please fix that bug, its quite frustrating.
Its good and it doesnt have a lot of adds like many games today.
Our friend and we were just browsing the App Store when this cute looking fantasy game, we had a vision on how this game would play has, we were brought with a strategy party type game, art design and gameplay truly awesome. We have nothing to say but to give it a try.
This game is cute and our style of defensive game. We didnt have any high hopes at all. This game is amazing.
This has been a fun little game of team building, skill selection, and TD as you make your way through various maps. Challenging yet approachable and easy to pick up. We hope theres some expansion or sequel.
We like the plot and the progress. Its sometimes a bit difficult to get the toons to move but overall we quite enjoy it.
We are playing this game on an iPhone X, and instead of using all the screen space, the app just treat our phone like a 7, and blank out the extra length, making the control very inconvenient. That being said, its a good game with cute graphics and intelligent mechanics. We saw that the dev updates the game a year ago, but can they please update it to fit newer models.
We really enjoy the artwork and how many different combinations of teams you can have our round. The difficulty curve is just right. Really a great take on tower defense.
We really enjoyed this game. Fun twist on tower defense. We would recommend having all the alternative customers included in a bundle instead of just the first classes. Love that they are all optional purchases though. Ill be on the look out for more games by yall.
This is a really fun game and the things you can earn or buy with real cash but its easier to just save up.
We love the game but the black bars makes it difficult to enjoy. Please update! :).
Surprising twist but we like it is really addicting game.
This game was did a good job of putting a different spin on the classic TD game and we love its art design. We have two issues with the game though. One is that the game is a bit to easy, although Im not sure how you would fix that. Our second issue is that the alternate skins are locked behind a pay wall, Id love to use those skins in game but we dont want to have to spend 3 or 4 dollars to do it. Great game, cant wait for another.
This is a great game to play we you want to have fun. Its really different from most app games and that makes it awesome. It deserves to be put on consoles and computers.
Good game with interesting twist of reverse TD like the Anomaly series with a Kingdom Rush feel. Like the emphasis on small simple battles with small manageable units instead of building massive armies and bases. Only complaint is even on hard most levels we were able to beat first time, particularly once had lots of upgrades. So then only challenge became getting 3 plus 1 stars which again became easy once had upgrades. Beat the entire game on hard within 10 hours.
It could be us just wanting to jump right in, but we missed some of the rules and helpful tips. Im mostly through the game now and realizing what certain things do! Oops. But we loooove this game anyway. If you love Kingdom Rush, youll love this.
Maybe you should link to Postknight more? We are not that far in yet.
It did not disappoint! It truly features something innovative within it, and its truly the best tower defence (TD) game we've played in a long time. It even features boss fights. Its only issue would have to be the alternate costumes DLC, which can't be earned with stars from quests like the higher tier version characters. But in all, it is a great game we strongly recommend.
Just the right difficulty on Normal. Fun mechanics.
We only wish we could zoom in further to see the characters better. If you love Kingdom Rush, you will love Tiny guardians. Definitely inspired by KR, but DEFINITELY has it's own thing going on, and it's terrific. We love it.
We love this game with a passion. The chibi characters are adorable and even though there are a limited amount of levels it is still very enjoyable.
Amazing game. Especially if you are looking for something to hold you over. Just spend the measly $4.
We only wish you could pause during battles to give orders, instead of just having to do it all mid-fight. But other than that it's a really fun game.
It's a bit difficult to get used to the mechanics but when things click it plays really well, plus it's super cute.
