Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love the game so much we use to be so addicted then we got a new phone and it deleted everything we need it back we were just wondering is there any way possible to get it back.
One of the beast mobile games its even better than clash royal.
Its a really good time waster but you will be shown many in game purchases that are best deal etc. Just like most mobile games anyways.
Ive played this game sense we were small and its still really fun.
They did an excellent job on this game. Everything is well balanced and it keeps your interest.and when you have ADHD such as we do, thats a pretty impressive feat. We love the game art, animations, upgrade games are our favorite. You can also do clans and we are part of one and we have fun.
With out really digging into itits really balanced overall and if it changes it will be because someone got money hungry, put out content thats worth the regular fare on a mobile fam and this one will do just fine.
Enjoining the game very much. Love the simple yet colorful graphics. Lee up the great work Devs.
GREAT GAME TO PLAY . Lots of things to do.
The game is fun to play, but it crashes every once in a while, which is kind of annoying.
Its pretty good good. Classic roguelike td fun. Doesnt seem too bad too early on so far.
We grew up on this game and Im glad to finally see it again.
This is a nice new twist to a different tower defense game.
It's a fresh take on tower defence, lots of fun.
We havent played the game a long time so we dont have the expert level review. However Based off the gameplay of an average person playing this in their occasional free time, we enjoy it fully. Sure things can be pay to win, or the match making is really imbalanced in PVP, but if were being honest those are part of what makes certain games challenging and entertaining. Its not completely repetitive, not completely inconsistent, its the right amount of technical strategy with a hint of luck. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you enjoy a good mobile game. Keep up the great work team.
Us and our brother have been not getting along a lot and this game just changed that.
Easy to play fun to pass time god job guys.
We dont like doing reviews. But its good, Ive been playing for a while now and havent deleted it. We get bored easy.
Us and our friend play this game all the time together and we just love it. Our only problem is that it will not let us purchase game items. It always says something went wrong.
Graphics are great and game play is amazing.
We really enjoy this game! We have made Zero purchases, the adds are minimal and not required. Highly recommend this game.
Super fun tower defense game totally worth it.
Another game where its almost impossible to progress without watching their optional ads.
Good content not going to lie but, the amount of screen space the game creators waste with pop ups and deals that stay on the screen for days if not weeks. You just look greedy. Every single level/wave has a video option pop ups. Every single one. So you finish the wave. You click finish, then You click to collect your rewards, then you have to click to op in or out of a video for better/more rewards, then you can click off the level you completed.
Fun game and really addictive. Great for killing time and grinding for rewards.
Takes a while to build up but fun.
Overall this game is really fun. Only 4 stars because the game is better with the pro pass. Unfortunately thats $9.99/month which also removes the ads. If it wasnt so heavy on the ads to make progress in the game, it would be 5 stars.
Halloween update left a pointing finger on the screen and a greyed out screen. Needs fix.
Great game until they updated it today. Now there is a pointing finger on the screen with everything else greyed out and you cant do anything. Unfortunately thats it for us.
Great game,definitely should install :).
Its sends you like 16 notifications every day.
Easy to understand Fun strategies Nice art and decent graphics Ill take it.
We play this game for 4 years and its THE BEST game in our life, THANK U DEVELOPERS.
Pay to win is there but non-payed players can also progress at an exciting pace. Not bad at all.
We really enjoy this game its def worth trying out.
Hello it us again we want to say something to the creator! Please give us bot wiz where he summons a robot that punch the bad guys and when he s at lv 50 he can summon a huge army of lil bot that have hand guns thats all. Thank for reading.
But game kept crashing every 3 mins. (More specifically going to the map/city/updates/offers). We got up to wave 18 before deleting the game.
Get this game it is so fun get it now.
Unable to target the flying enemies so while your pushing back the ground ones to the end of the screen you can finally do a little bit of damage to them, then as the ground troops approach literally every anti air unit you have switched to that ground unit even tho they are getting the tower attacked by a group of 20 or so flying creatures cause you just cant kill em before the other approach.
One problem though. Constant crashing. Im on iphone 6.
Fun little game, different than most tower defense games, you can play without paying for awhile but eventually things get too hard but its not super expensive and they have a monthly sub seems legit, great game.
Cool builds, variety of characters, different routes of status to reach end goal.
Yeah its pretty fun go on and give it a try.
Hello! We have been playing for a few hours now and we are pretty hooked. A nice and enjoyable game overall. However there is one thing that we need from the developers and that is an alternate option to link our progress rather than just saving it on the cloud. We would like to switch to a new phone and having a set email / account to link our current progress would really make this into a 5 star game for us. Please consider this feature.
We cant put our finger on why we love it so much. It might be the art style. It might be the different units but its simple fun. We may have to end up paying $10 a month for the pro version because Im tired of looking at ads. But if Im enjoying it as much as we are, then the developers deserve our money.
Good game but feels very pay to win with characters that cost actual money and quests that can only be completed by buying said units.
So far one of the best TD games ive ever played. However, theres an issue. Maybe this recent update fixed but, as of writing, when we enter a wave or event on map, we cannot press any of our tower abilities, but everything else interacts perfectly fine. We can get to our city, upgrade units and switch spots, but we cant manually use our abilities, please fix it would be 5 star.
Were on the 5th update since they rushed out version 3.0 and the Odyssey event timers still arent working, its good to see that theyre working on it at least, but this is quite frustrating.
The game is fun we didnt really get bored and it made us want to play it even more and the style of the game is really cool and the towers.
Hey, After the update, some of our heroes greyed out and cannot be found in characters anymore.. Is this some new mechanism or a bug.
Our game launches but it freezes on the loading screen when the loading bar is exactly halfway full. We thought it would eventually go all the way so we left it for 10 minutes but it just stayed half way. Please help.
