Community Insight:
We wish you would add a bestiary to learn more about the undead horde.
Love this game been playing it on and off for years.
Childhood go brrrrr Also not scummy.
Controls are smooth and the levels are fun, and the abilities seem pretty balanced. We find it pretty hard to find a flaw about it. We hope they keep making games, this is the kind of thing that mobile gaming should be. A lot of the negative reviews are about hard controls or tough boss fights, and spamming of enemies. The game isnt obscenely hard, and most people are simply turned off by a challenge. This game isnt going to hold your hand. They knew what they wanted to do with this game and they did it, its exactly how it should be.
It is the perfect mobile game. Its engaging and has a nice consistency with the level designs. You also cant just hop on and get to the higher worlds, you have to work for it.
We give this game 5/5 stars. Its honestly amazing. Whenever Im bored we can pull out our phone and play it. Im still working our way to getting all the upgrades but we love how the quests keep going. And the different spells and different quests you beat to get higher and higher is amazing. It would be cool to see a survival mode to see how long you can survive or even an online mode where you play against each other and summon the enemies to attack them. Overall the game is great.
Reallyyyyyyyyyyyy coolllllllll gameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Title sums it up, we would play this game if it had the option to remove ads. We always pay for that options if available for a game we enjoy. Seems simple enough, 2.99? Fair.
Game is good, but a little too difficult for us. Would like a choose difficulty and multiple saves.
The games difficulty ramps up way to quickly because the cost of the upgrades in the game are ludicrously expensive which leads to getting stuck on a level fairly early as you will get to bosses that will spawn enemies faster than you can kill them which will lead to either a big stalemate of killing all the bosses minions but not actually damaging the boss or dying in seconds after that you have to go back to a previous level and grind for hours to get upgrades because the amount of gold you get from killing enemies is very small ( we do not recommend this game to anyone).
Wizard swipe doesnt meet our satisfaction by being too complicated and the bosses are very hard and fast and it hurts our finger because you have to swipe so fast.
Hard to really enjoy for long because of the constant frantic swiping needed. Slow down for even a second and you get a huge horde of enemies that you need to swipe even faster to get through. Levels feel really long on top of this. Could really use some mechanism that gives a break from the rapid swiping, it just feels so exhausting instead of fun.
It gets way too hard way too quickly, we shouldnt have to grind for ages to have an enjoyable time and we shouldnt have to swipe our finger as fast as humanly possible so early on in a game. Also some of the bosses spawn in enemies way too fast, too fast to let you even actually damage the boss. Ex. The boss who spawns vampires that split into two and the second stage in shoots out a five bat burst which is really hard to get all the bats while handling the vampires the boss still continuously spawns in still.
We dont get this game . Its not a tower defense game . Its an endless wave clear game (no towers) with boring abilities , overly easy gameplay and poor graphics.
We dont play anymore because the make sure your spells dont miss challenge is way too hard.
We really enjoyed this game it was very fun but this game needs a ''New Game'' button! Plz.
Super fun! Would like if it there were different modes.
Fun, challenging, best game we have seen in a while.
We are incredibly impressed by the work you have been able to do in unity. We have used unity and have experience with it, and this is very well done.
Yes we like Wizard Swipe. We give it 5 stars. It has a satisfying rate of progression. It is challenging without being overly difficult. And a game length is just the right amount of time. Developers need to make a Wizard Swipe Dungeon game that would combine dungeon exploration with Wizard Swipe style combat.
Just wanted to say, we're loving the update. Glad to see it's not over yet.
This game is so unique and amazing. It can take a while to get all the upgrades but that's one of the things that keep you playing.
The mechanic of having to constantly having to swipe ends up making our thumbs cramp up before we even get half way through the level, which ends up making us fail at the don't take damage mission. Please find a different method of killing the skeletons.
Look no bug nor glitch we just find this annoying.The vampires in their normal form can they be a little slower……Or decrease the perks for them They're just so fast it's to aim at them even at max fling.Just nerf them that's all we ask.we're back from playing the game for 18 minutes and we also want this to be nerfed.The reload time of the vampire form great game just please nerf this we find them frustrating.
After the update, when we go to start the app, it crashes. Really would have liked to see the new update, hope thy can figure out the problem. We're on an iPhone 4s with iOS 8, if it matters.
It is very fun and addictive and a challenge. After playing for just a day our thumbs are killing us.
Very awesome and great graphics.
But we've gotten the highest number of all the spells or whatever so now there really isn't any incentive to play. :/ we really liked this game though.
Fun game. Lots of potential! We know this is v1.1, but a few obvious improvements: -More monsters. -Make the element-specific 10% Dmg upgrades better. -add some variety. We like the idea of randomly generated levels but it makes it all very much the same after a while.
This is probably our favorite game on our phone currently. We really like that you don't have to wait for upgrades or have to buy coins or anything to move to the next level.
Best game we've played in the past few months. It's not a lame grab for in game purchases of coins and it's not an old game ported to phone.
We love this game! It's a great time waster and doesn't get old b/c of the random generations. Only one problem- axe thrower is a bitttt overpowered. Still, 5 stars.
This app is great in many ways, the main one being that you can just sit there and throw fireballs infinitely and not care about the rest of the world. We thought this would just be another one of those "quickly-thrown-together-give-us-your-money" kind of schemes but it's really not! You can upgrade all of your equipment by redoing levels without even having to look at the IAP screen! VERY SATISFYING APP 5/5.
If you play this game, it will make you happy. It's fun, cute, casual, we just really like it.
So simple! Love the game mechanics, very straightforward and easy to use. The freeze spell can be a little hard to use and the aim can be difficult at long range making the "don't miss achievement" pretty difficult! Otherwise this game is very addicting and deserves all of the 5 stars. Keep up the good work.
It's a fun game with a nice progression. You won't feel like you need to spend money, although if you do it will help. The upgrade system is simple but interesting, and while the mechanics are nothing new, they're implemented very well. If you take it for what it is, a simple game for when you're in a waiting area, it's very good.
We hardly had enough space for this game, but boy is it worth it! This is very well-made and though out game, not to mention its super fun! Go you guys.
If your having trouble with the 2 boss get the acid to destroy the minions and damage the boss for 3rd boss get the Lightning but it is still possible without the Lightning just attack minions and dodge the red skulls and attack the boss with acid and fire balls Quickly.
This is easily the best free game we've played in a while. It's fast paced, requires some thought and skill, and has music and graphics that make it all very enjoyable. No pop-up or banner ads either, which is fantastic. Not sure if the dev looks at these reviews, but we think it would be great if the game had a "monsterpedia" of sorts, which would have a fun little description of each monster and possibly its weaknesses.
Ive been playing it for two hours straight haha. Its really fun and seems like it lasts for quite a long time.
We started playing this and almost deleted it. We gave it a try and it ended up being pretty fun. Give it a chance and it'll pay off.
It's really fun, and really hard. That's not a bad thing though, like we've seen some other people complaining about. It's never simply impossible.
We really do enjoy this game, it's not very difficult but can still challenge you at times.
This game is pretty good for a free game that isn't riddled with ads. Also the in game purchases aren't at all necessary so it make it way more enjoyable.
Very fun game, our fingers got tired from playing.
You're gonna ruin your flicking thumb with this one, the games tough very quickly and very fun. Well worth a 2 dollar donation or more if you're generous.
We like how, in this game, purchasing coins is not a necessity. In most games we've played from the App Store, you either have to wait a long time or buy certain things in order to progress the campaign. Although there is an option to double your coins by using an ad, one can easily go through the game undistracted not needing this feature. We really like how the upgrading system for each skill works. Additionally, the game runs very smoothly for us both with wifi and without. There are only a few options we wish were added to the game: an unlimited mode to grind coins, more characters, and more spells. P.s. To the people stuck on axe thrower and other bosses. Our strategy involves just rapid firing in random forward directions. It works because you clear the axes, skulls, etc. And also get sneaky shots on the boss. Not impossible just time consuming. :).
This game is spectacular as simple gameplay combined with retro graphics make a great dish. One thing we don't like is the low amount of money per level even if with the video. But in all we love this game and we recommend this game.
The game is fun and very addicting we've made it to 8-5 and we're still having fun! But we have a complaint. Even after you defeat a boss his projectiles can still destroy your castle! This is most noticeable with the axe thrower which is the Bo's for 8-5. Anyways great game highly recommend it, but be warned, it can get hard.
Every easy and addicting game play easy to play and very fun.
