Stunning Graphics and Smooth Gameplay

The visual effects of the spells are gorgeous! From dark forests to snow mountains, the scenes are beautifully designed.[1][2][3] The monsters and bosses look epic, and the game runs perfectly smooth on my iPhone. A visual treat for a mobile game!

Too expensive

There are a ton of things to upgrade and it just cost too much within the game and I’m not spending real money on a game. So it makes it very frustrating and pointless quickly because you can’t get anywhere in this.

Fun game

Th game is fun and addicting but it’s hard to beat because your in game money doesn’t go very far and you need resources as well to upgrade. I think the game needs bonus weekends every once in a while for double coin weekend or double reward weekend.

Nerfed

The world boss portion of this game is nerfed You used to be able to get to the point where you could last until the dragon was killed (IYKYK). They changed the behavior of the dragon to make that practically impossible. I regret ever having played this game. Stay away unless you want pure frustration inflicted on you by people who are utterly evil. The developers of this game belong in prison.

Defending your pockets

This is a actually a fun game to play that doesn’t force adds on you. Also is playable without spending money. I’ve made in to lvl 106 without spending a dime. But you can choose to view adds for a free spin on the wheel, toget great material for the game. I would highly recommend this

Fun but prepare to invest if you wish to get far.

This game is really fun if you like a more hands-on twist to tower defense where you control everything. The premise is simple; destroy whatever moves and prevent enemies from destroying your wall. As you progress things get gradually more difficult until you inevitably hit a barrier. Progression will become impossible no matter how well you play as you just cannot dish enough damage. This is where the “pay to get far” comes into play. The fastest way to get strong is through spending gems to upgrade abilities and especially mana and mana regeneration. Gems are super sparse though in that you only get some through levelling up or a couple from a victory. However, you cannot win if you are too weak so the only place to turn to is the store. Use them wisely though knowing that they do not come easy. If you are okay with this, then enjoy! There is plenty of challenge and fun to be had. I wish there was more enemy and theme variety; maybe in a future update.

Love this game, played for years. Any plans for extensions for it? I’m maxed out level and in the 1800’s for story mode. Would love a new version or some new content, monsters, abilities for this one. It’s just the same levels over and over now.

Wiped away all my purchases, and no customer support

This is a pretty decent game and i played it for awhile. But i bought all the premium content and towers paying over $100. When i had to change iphones, i lost all my progress and purchases, even though i had my account linked to Game Center. There is a “restore purchases” button in-game, but it does nothing for me. There is no ticket system and no way to contact the developers or any customer support. Your purchases are NOT safe in this game, and they have effectively stolen from me. So that’s why they get one star. Shady foreign company makes a decent enough game, but doesn’t care if you lose your money and purchases, which is kind of scammy.

OK game for what it is

The game is OK to waste some time, but if you are into games to actually be good at then don’t waste your time with this one. The monsters level seems to progress a lot faster than the amount of damage you can cause unless you spend a lot of money on the game. All they really want is your money. The whole game is totally rigged. Rigged from the little amount of damage done to the monsters no matter how much you upgrade anything to the rigging of voluntarily watching ads to spin the wheel only to receive a crappy prize.

An Honest Review

I’ve played the defender saga for multiple years now ever since I was a kid. This game is one of those game’s you’ll never really grow out of. I’m 20 now and years after beating the game i’ve still been coming back to it even occasionally creating multiple accounts and feeding off the nostalgia that it gives. It’s such a simplistic concept that gives a very rewarding feeling. It offers various modes like battles, arena and world raids and a lot of various upgrades you can add to your bow over time. Although I’m glad the game is still up more updates with new content would be amazing and that’s really my only complaint, I want more from the devolopers!

They scam you on the monthly pass and don’t give you rewards on some days. I logged in everyday to collect and still it will dim the day so you can’t collect. I even tried multiple hours throughout the day. There is no customer support to get your money back either.

Great game but…

Ahh Defender one of my childhood classics I remember getting to a very high stage In this game but their are a few reasons on how this game can be better 1. Add multiplayer We know you guys have a multiplayer PvP mode But it is straight garbage like literally I run into hackers who have it to where they take no damage when the get Bombarded by a bunch of enemies or projectiles or I run into a Guy with max bow with soul of arrow or spirit of wind or some crap like that 2.make more modes like one called dungeons having you and 3 other players kill endless amounts of enemies with a wave like system (Like call of duty zombies) 3.add a report system We should Be allowed to report people depending on what rule are they breaking. Speaking or rules Yea their should be rules like No hacking,No randomly Reporting for no reason,No bullying others because they have a weak Bow. And stuff like that 4.Last but not least add a chat system and a friend system.It would make the game a lot funner to play with friends and online so that way you aren’t playing the same repetitive game Anyways I hope this all happens in any future Defender game (If you guys are even making any more defender games idk if y’all gave up quit or something)

Fun but flawed IAPs, and no customer service.

Great game concept, it really is. But after spending some money on IAPs, I had two IAP that I was charged for but not credited with. Then, on the last day of the Christmas calendar, I didn’t get my 200K. When I took to Facebook, WWW, and email for support I found absolutely no help. DROIDHEN: if you want to keep your customers you should care about them a little bit more. I put a fair bit of cash into your game and now I’ll never spend another penny on it because I can’t trust your e-commerce, and apparently I have no recourse if it fails again.
