Community Insight:
Been a fan a td games for a long time. This is a fun but challenging one.
Great game and straight forward. Nice quality graphics and maps. Simple yet fun, the greatest strength of the game is strategizing on the more difficult levels. We mastered every level at the highest difficulty which wasn't easy, without paying a dime and it had the right balance of thrill.
But like many games of this type it gets hard fast BUT you dont need a lot of money to win. Grinding will work.
One of the best tower defense games. Hint: Lasers.
Good tower defense game, hard to see the entire map. The screen is a little dark and its a little hard to see the entire map especially at the edges at one time. It does hit you up to buy things and has ads but you dont need to buy things to do well and advance through the levels.
This is the Best Game of tower defense game type in world.
This is just a cash grab scheme. Thanks for nothing, we have no home now. We finished the game and only have 160 stars. Cant even reach 201 stars. Horrible game. Now Im broke and homeless.
This game is awesome no problems even on a old phone.
Great game with smooth graphics.
One of the best tower defense games Ive played in a long time.
So far this seems like a good tower defense game. But we have just started and we have a feeling its going to be a lot harder without spending real money. Although it seems kind bland with only 3 weapons right now, with a spot for a fourths think. We will see. MTFBWY.
Has a lot of great qualities and a couple awful ones. Pros: Graphics are great for a TD game. Pinch zoom is a bit touchy but very thing is nice to look at. Runs smooth and doesnt overwork your phone. Lots of content/levels. The upgrade system is pretty rewarding. Could be a little more in depth but its solid. Cons: The ads are so bad thats is unplayable with them. We had to purchase the $2.99 ad removal. Lack of balance as one tower type seems far superior than others (laser). Worst of all: Been stuck at level 3-5 for several days now. Tried everything we could think it many times and referred to the internet to no avail. We suspect the only way to win is to fork up $$$ for the equipment. Overall game is good though. We think the waves are a bit short and would really like to see an infinite mode.
We love this game, but having few ways to earn gears, without spending real money, which we have yet to do, is why we cant rate this game 5 stars.
Took us a bit to warm up to this TD game but after we were able to improve our 80 gold Air and/or ground missiles it made such a big difference for us that we opened up our heart. We love to play games and not add any actual $ unless absolutely necessary as it adds such a level of difficulty that when you achieve an improvement level it really means something! We have played many many games without adding any $ money at all such as BTD 4, or5, or 6, for example. We expect to attempt to do the same here. Give this diverting game a chance and enjoy it for what it is.
Its an awesome game. Its got the right level of difficulty, and its not too hard to get the hang of. However, Ive gotten 5 stars on all boards and still have only 160/165 stars. On top of that, Ive been playing for years and the newer levels have yet to drop.
But..having to obtain a certain amount of stars to unlock the next level is super lame. Especially when its already very challenging to even get a 3 star (perfect) rating on a level. The extra challenges to get more stars arent varied and it just seems very forced; or a goofy reason to try to get peeps to pay $$. No option to upgrade generals and no clear or easy way to get new ones. Good graphics is not enough to keep our interest. Aaannndd delete.
1st few levels were fun enough. Stuck now; likely would have to pay to continue leveling.
Games was okay solid little but if bugs here and there but second we had ads pop up thats was it for us ads in game = us dont play.
We played the first 24 levels. In that time the same weapons were offered to us. Upgrades show no change in scenery. Its a functional tower defense game. Many variations are better than this game. Someone didnt spend enough time adding replay-ability content.
We understand that commercials are how this game is free, but you you gotta give something to the player too. Give us some credits or something. Im stuck on a level with no way to complete it with the weapons we have… Not cool.
Ive been playing this game for about three days and level three and four are very hard level three is hard but possible but level four is impossible.DO NOT TRY.
Yet another in app buyer that test your patience. At 13 dollars a buy, this game can get expensive.
Needs an update. We would like to see bigger maps, endless challenges, and more upgrades.
Literally every 2 minute level you get a 30 second ad. Game is fun, but ads are ruining it. Like yay you won, heres an ad. Or even worse Awh you lost, heres and ad.
It is a good concept but you cant even upgrade your towers because you dont get enough stars now if you want to spend your money on a kids game they will let you upgrade.deleting this game.
We dont know why you would make a TD game and not let the player zoom out enough to see the entire map. Cant tell you how absolutely stupid it is to struggle to click a building spot to throw up a defense as a last ditch effort against a stray enemy unit, only to not be able to click the point because its on the edge of the screen and blocked by HUD commands. Its almost like this wasnt even tested at all. Fix this issue and youd have an average defense game.
You will realize that you are going to spend money to slow down the Cheating, but we assure you that you will not win unless you spend money to see her naked.
Its too hard, Ive upgraded what we can and we cannot beet any more levels, and if we do we only might get another 100-200 upgrade points we need 500 at least. We get why it needs to be a little hard so that you challenge yourself to come up with a different way to try to beet thr level. But at this point if we dont spend money Im not getting any further. So it looks like Im not getting any further, shame too because it was kinda fun. Deleted.
So basically, its free and super fun until Fog of War at which point youll be required to pay 12.99 to continue after the purchase of the required bomb firing general needed to clear any more levels.
Could have been good. It tries to force ptw too early and too often.
Decent game, we cant play because of energy running out. 4 stars without energy system.
Ok game but you are forced fed commercials. Forcing us to watch commercials between levels and then additionally trying to get us to pay for in-game upgrades is a star killer! The unit rally point control is frustratingly poor. There are better tower defense games out there.
Its a great game but we paid for it and have been waiting the new levels for years and it hasnt come out. Will change the rating to 5 stars once theres new levels.
We did our best and got hooked, good game till. You get to the point where you have no choice to pay to play and this isnt for us. Dont bother downloading it at all at this point. Ads up the yiYang u have to pay to remove them. Power ups?? $$$$ all its about.
New levels coming soon? Really? What happened? We were just getting good and now you guys gave up on the game. Great.
Rewards are too small. Upgrades are too expensive. Weapons are too slow & do too little damage. Not recommended.
The game is great, lots of fun. Its been months, when are new levels going to be released.
We spent $$ on an upgrade package, got billed for it, got the Youre all set notice, then nothing! The purchased items never showed up!! Rip off.
Uninstalled because of ads. Just makes the game feel cheap and not enjoyable.
You have to pay to get the upgrades yo need to advance. No way to earn by playing. We can see spending a little money but this one is bad.
Its designed to squeeze money out of you and not really around fun gameplay.
Cant get into playing the game for all the ads. We know the purpose is so youll pay. But we cant even play enough to know if we like.
Gets boring and at one point you wont win unless you spend money .. Hard pass.
We see that your app icon is a picture of a robot from a game called War Robots. Shame.
Rundown: You will have to spend real money You will have to watch many ads You will not progress much (Btw, lovin the developers throwing fake reviews to artificially boost the rating score).
Ads ran 30 seconds after less than 2 minutes of play.
The first time we tried this it was easy. On a certain level it was impossible. Even with completing very difficult levels we got 5 stars, but then it became so impossible that even no one could complete the specific level. Thats why this is the worst game ever.
This game has potential we were excited to play the game then we realized that in order to advance to a harder level you need to spend money. That's exactly what we did. After spending our hard earn cash after level 32 the next level has a coming soon message and it's been weeks, we reach out to the developer and of course, no one answered. All we asked is that if they won't add more level to simply refund our money.
Any game that forces you to watch ads gets 1 star from us.
