Community Insight:
Basic Tower Defense game. Back to basics on strategy. Good game.
Great new version of the old game. Still has its small feel roots.
Towers are fun, gameplay is smooth! Loving it so far.
We have been looking for a more traditional tower defense game. This one definitely delivers. This does have some of the more strategic elements of current tower defense games, but still keeps them simplistic. We have greatly been enjoying this game.
Really great addictive game we play while at the gym.
Enjoy the little time you have got after works.
So much fun we love the game a lot.
Fun game to pick up and entertain yourself for a few min.
This game is a great time waster.
Old school but has the features of most good tower defense games.
Fun game! Difficult but makes fun.
Okay so we just wanted to remind you about ur other games you havent updated in a while! Also we know this a knock off version of kingdom rush, but thats very much okay! They are a big company and ur just by yourself! Good luck and dont stop making games!! (:.
Patients is needed in the beginning.
A reasonable tower defense game.
Have to pay to play not what we were expecting.
So far it seems like youre gonna have to pay to get the coolest stuff but its fun so far.
Instructions need some work but youll figure it out.
Better defense games out there. Bad range. Slow. No healing.
Do not recommend at all. Might have potential but we removed it after two levels and getting an add after every match. If you ask us that makes even the best games trash. We get making money but let us play our levels and watch adds for bonuses.
Too many adds for a meager game.
Looking for a new tower defense game and we downloaded this one thinking it would be fun. We should have read the comments beforehand. The strategy to win is to pay money for resources, and after every battle we got an ad. Became unplayable for us after 5 minutes. We also think the devs are making money from selling your information, because we dont know why anyone who would enjoy playing this game.
Dont ask us to rate you for currency.
We cant stand games where the developers dont allow you to play their creation. Once you get up into the levels you can only play once every ten minutes or so until your play tokens catch back up up. Why do people do this? They develop a great game then put some restriction on allowing you to play it, like a time limit. Overall its a great game, though our hero keeps releasing the running Landmine in the wrong direction. It just goes out the exit gate instead of towards the enemy…doh! We needed up not giving any money and deleted that app.
You cant even pass level 3 without having to buy power ups so we deleted the game.
More challenging than a typical tower defense.
Not kingdom rush, but close enough.
Great take on a tower defense game.
They got rid of ads so the games a decent ad free game.
One thing we want more guy for free please we do not want to use money so please.
Its a pretty run on the mill tower defense.
The first version of this game was beautiful, levels were quite simple to pass. This version however m, has a stupid amount of enemies that pour onto the map and its almost impossible to get them all, especially with the very limited budget given.
Massive disclaimer: Hint Hint, Im a Kingdom Rush loyalist. Nevertheless, please, for the love of god just play Kingdom Rush. Sure it aint free, but its certainly better. There are literally 2 comments that state this and that is too few. So only two people recognize this as a knockoff? We see a lot of people griping about micro transactions but lets be honest, those are in literally every game on the AppStore. But knockoffs, thats a different problem, take the first part of this review as both a suggestion and a warning. We dont know what else there is to say. Ive played the Kingdom Rush games since we were 10 years old. For ***** sake people, please dont support knockoffs of actually good games. Ok, in all fairness, if youre broke AF and cant afford a cheap AF and good game called Kingdom Rush, then maybe this is a decent alternative. Also, we read one review where the dev responded that hes only one dude and hes a student that obviously cant compete with Ironhide Studios, we get that. This could probably be a pretty cool game if we didnt recognize some of the maps, towers, mechanics, etc. Being blatantly copied from Kingdom Rush. We only give this two stars because its not a completely lost cause. Has potential, do something cool with it. At least it isnt another Clash of Clans knockoff… Cheers.
Before even a loading screen, we were shown a video ad for another tower defense. We guess Ill play that one instead.
Its nothing but unfair chaos having special enemies that require a specific tower to kill most of the time your not gonna have enough money to buy the tower and even if you make through that once you get to higher level at the end of those levels you and your towers will be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of enemies there are resulting in your defeat. So we think the developers should make the towers cheaper and have more then one tower counter one enemy and all of this results in you literally in hell itself.
There is just mathematically not enough resources to build an effective defense with. Literally impossible to get a perfect score on a level unless you pay real money for upgrades. The game is obviously designed from level one to make you inadequate and encourage pay to win tactics.
Deleted app within 5 seconds of launching.
Complete knock-off of Kingdom Rush. Everything good about this game, comes from Kingdom Rush. Bad points about this game: 1) You cant ply the last level because an advert hovers over the screen which you cant delete. This ad will naturally fall away after 50 IN GAME hours. 2) Advert feature doesnt work for getting more elixir without paying 3) Only one hero, unless you buy others 4) No lexicon or enemies, so if you miss the first tip youll never know what their strength/weakness is 5) Very poor balance of defense towers (just use the tambourine exclusively) 6 No story/humor in the game 7) Very easy and monotonous 8) Amateurish graphics/animations 9) No markers on which pathways are entrances / exits, so you often dont know where you are supposed to defend. 10) very poor path making which sometimes makes AI ignore one track entirely or your hero gets stuck / walks in the wrong direction The game itself is decent, with a 3/5 from us – but its only because of the good features in the original game it blatantly copied.
We think this is a great game but its so easy to get gold and crush the levels by playing level 1 over and over again they should make it so you can only play a level 5 times.
Its a shallow imitation of Kingdom Rush but it successfully fills the void while we wait for another great game from Iron Hide. The graphics and animations resemble fan art. Little things are missing like a visual indicator of tower range on a difference in the banner icon when youve finished a level of Hard difficulty. And the humor and Easter eggs of a good Iron Hide game that tell you they enjoyed making the game are missing as well. But the real indication of a good game is that we are still playing it after a few days and many levels. Its fun. Its as simple as that. Im in World 3 and we havent yet felt compelled to pay for upgrades. This is not pay to win so far as Ive experienced. We did pay $0.99 for more elixir after playing for over an hour. This got us enough to keep playing for the day and elixir regenerates plenty over night. Worth it. We tried to get elixir by watching ads but that feature seems broken at the moment. We get a loading indicator that just seems to time out without showing us an ad or giving us elixir. Not a killer problem. We hope the levels get a little more varied, the towers get more varied powers, and the heroes are different from each other in action (we have only tried the default hero). We hope the elixir price per level doesnt rise so high that we have to keep buying elixir from the store. Hope keeps us playing. Hope and fun.
You don't need to pay to finish this game.
Kingdom rush is much better. Easier control and more user friendly.
Cool game, just started with it.
This game is not the best of its kind.
Very simple, and cheap knock off of a real tower defense game. Simple animations, little to no variations of enemies, zero variations in levels or towers and extremely easy to beat.
This game is awful. Its not very fun plus if you spend money and try to restore the purchases it just kicks you out of the game and you can never get in again. Dont play this game.
May be a decent game, impossible to tell. You dont have energy to play it without purchasing energy via IAP. Energy store is 50, games quickly cost 17+ meaning you can only play 1-2 matches before running out. Makes game unplayable.
Worked fine. Simple tower defense. We purchased some coins. Now the app hangs when we open it. Weeee! Trying the website we get a message saying they may be trying to steal our info, and leave now. Cool. Cheers.
He beginning stages of the game are impossible to complete. The towers dont do enough damage, and the units are often to fast to shoot.
Let us help you from not wasting your time on this trash game, yes trash. If you have $$$ to flush down the drain, this game is for you. For all the 99% that dont, dont be the 1% idiots. A big pass on this.
Hours upon hours of great gameplay! A classic TD game.
