What they complain about
- Ads interrupt you constantly
- Upgrades often stop working
- Purchases sometimes don't arrive
Wow
It’s amazing but there should be a sandbox
Purchases failed
So I tried this game and enjoyed it enough to purchase the no ads. Lo and behold, I never received it but got charged. Lame! Stay away from this game! It will take your money and give you nothing!
Good game
It’s just really hard to beat levels especially if your starting the game.
Broken Purchases
Tried purchasing the welcome bonus twice. My card was charged twice with nothing given. Currently waiting for a refund, seemed like a cool concept for the game. Would recommend only playing free.
AD Block doesn’t work
Good but the ad block doesn’t work for me. Maybe this is a glitch but i feel like i just paid 5 dollars for nothing. I will edit this review if it actually starts working.
Gg
The mechanics are simple, it seems like a good game. Runs smoothly and I’m enjoying enjoying defending the tower with troops I can upgrade and unlock.
Di the leave
Did the Devs and owners leave this game to die?
Good graphics
Good on how they move
Eeh
Lots of ads….
Good game , but
Purchased starter pack twice and never received my purchase. Only app I have that is not allowing me to receive in app purchases.
Great
It’s a fun game but it could have some changes. 1. Too many ads 2. Too hard 3. One of the funniest games I’ve ever played but you need to grind to be good and this game needs to be your no 1. Priority. Great game though.also the spear throwers and arrows almost never hit they are really inaccurate.
Upgrades do not work
I was excited to try this game because it looked really interesting, but in the tutorial and the first level the upgrades didn’t work at all I selected for my units to spawn 500% faster and attack 500% faster and they CLEARLY did not spawn or attack any faster at all + Making your units weak enough where you feel like you need ads for extra upgrades, I’m just going to delete the app Game had potential, but doesn’t seem like the developers want anything more than an easy way to deliver ads
Adds
Most of the time you have a new troop you have to get it with adds. But other then that it is a pretty good game
Not as polished as the ads suggest
The HUD isn’t even as show.
Too easy
Way too easy to be worth paying for. Paid to avoid ads and what not. Not worth the money.
Good game
Good game no ads
Pay to win
This game isn’t good unless you buy stuff, even then everything is so expensive it would really get you nowhere. I had it in the past and enjoyed it but it’s no longer a good game
Better than most games
The one flaw is an obvious one and you will see most people complaining about it if you read the one star reviews. But a good game.
Boring boring boring
Lots and lots of ads in the beginning. I paid the $4.95 to eliminate them and was rewarded with a repetitive play action. Same charges over and over again. I developed a basic winning strategy within a few minutes and then played without challenge through 14 levels that appear to have no impact on play. The “Boss” levels not particularly challenging. Exactly three bosses through 15 levels; a Spellcaster of some sort, Poseidon and Giant Worm. The first two were missile casting warriors that occasionally vanish and reappear nearby. No problem. The worm arrives with a tell immediately preceding it appearance. Once you know it’s timing, it is easy to avoid and defeat. Not one variation through 15 levels of play.
well it’s not bad but not good
it’s a good strategy game it’s just ads ads ads so many ads
Very good! But one request
This game is very good but one request, can you make a gamemode where u can choose the enemies, etc and have like a commander that looks different from other soldiers and he makes them move faster and like a gamemode where u protect a king or emperor
Bad design and buggy
I swear half of the upgrades between rounds don't work. The game is not properly balanced, meaning you die way to easy and you don't even get to keep the coins you earn while playing.
Good potiential
Good game, good potential but it become too easy, 60 enemies at lvl 50 is not enought! But i like it, good job, should need more stages!
Great Concept
Great game, but things are a little broken and unbalanced. Defense units can’t keep up with the opposition without extensive upgrades. Coins earned don’t add up correctly after rounds and ads. Ads don’t always grant bonuses and require re-watching the ad two, sometimes three times. Again- great game. Just needs a little more attention on the development side.
Buggy
Game was fun, way to many ads. So the game lets you watch a add for a reward in-game until you complete the lvl. But if you watch a add for a extra reward you don’t get it and you lose a reward you receive from early completely a stage. Please fix so I can continue playing. Oh and if you double up on rewards you don’t get the bonus status(like a level up for your skills) which you need to complete the final level/ boss. Again please fix
E
E
Bad game design
The whole premise of this game is to protect your city but when your units die the game is over even with your city at 100 percent health remaining and with your troops still being trained in the top left. Bad design. None of the upgrades that you choose actually do anything. +500% unit training speed does nothing and the speed of the training does not increase whatsoever. The reviews are inflated and mostly bot reviews to inflate the ratings
Many crashes on older devices
My iPod touch 5gen does not have the required processing power to play this game; I can’t get past the tutorial line formation without it crashing and restarting my progress. I used to be able to play this on my iPod a long time ago and it was kinda fun and killed time. Was fun while it lasted. Is it possible to download a previous version of this game or can there be a quality control setting that can be accessed before the tutorial? This would allow people with older devices to play this game.
Niche potential - plastered with ads
The game has a very good base and is very enjoyable and addictive. However, you are plastered with compulsory ads consistently and repeatedly had “game functionality” pop ups that are not clearly defined as “watch this for 30 seconds” that you are often clicking on. Genuinely spent more time watching ads then actually getting to play the game. If a developer is going to fill the game with so many ads so early on while they are trying to persuade you to buy in game transactions like I.e removing ads. You would think they would have laid off the ads at the start so you could consider doing so. Disappointed.
Some issues that need to be fixed
This game is great but there are bugs I’m concerned about such as the power ups stop working after completing stage but up to stage 10? We need to keep our power ups until we complete the stages also the castle production time needs to be increased I leveled mine to a 7 and I still can’t get off level 1 these things need to be changed I bought the add free so I hope it was worth it please change these things
Pretty fun
I mean it’s a pretty fun game
Free version is completely unplayable
Free version is completely unplayable
Optimization
Maybe it’s just me, but on survival mode it lags a lot when it gets to the later rounds when I have a lot of tanks. But other than that the game is really fun.
Too many ads
Average game with promise. Ruined by the frequency and length of ads. The price to go ad free is really high for what the game currently is too.
Another ad complaint.
You shouldn’t be surprised. Now stop reading and go outside.
The Whole Game
Looking through the reviews, I saw way too many reviews saying they have too much ads. And so far, I’ve played 10 minutes of it and haven’t gotten a single ad! Idk why people just put those reviews but they are wrong. 10/10 game Final Review 4/10 Graphics 10/10 enjoyment 9/10 replay In total, 9.5/10 game, love to see how they can improve this game more!
No real strategy involved and boring
This game is a cash grab and the overall game structure isn’t even fun. The best way to play is to make a straight line facing wherever the enemy indicators tell you to face and hope the RNG blesses you. You can’t even make an effective formation because 1. the game is too zoomed in to see where the enemies are or what formation they’re in other than to follow the arrows 2. this game progressively ups the health and damage of enemies instead of sending them in different formations or in the form of different units, meaning that the only way to progress is to watch ads, spend money, or just spend hours grinding the same level until you can afford the upgrade that will barely even help you. Overall, do not get this game, there is zero passion behind it and the developers clearly only made it for some quick cash and probably didn’t even expect it to get this popular.

Magic
Aggressive ads
I don’t mind ads in games as they help the developers stay in the industry but this games ads are every 30s and you end up spending more time watching ads then laying the actual game. The game itself would be fun but it’s ruined by ads between every round of play.
Not Bad
Hard to give more than three stars when I’ve only played for twenty seconds but the game looks like it has potential to be loads of fun.
Great game
I am a very picky person when it comes to mobile games, but out of any I have played this is the best.
50% Ads
The game itself is just okay. It’s nothing special and it’s not worth the amount of ads you have to sit through. I’ve been trying to keep playing, but a thirty second ad every thirty seconds is just too much for me.
Good
It’s a real fun game I have to admit oh that is really good
Too mans ads
I understand they need development ‘help’, but if you decide not to share your personal data the game is almost unplayable! The amount of long ads is crazy.
Ad overload
Ad’s make this quite impossible to play. If you’d allow people to play ad free for the first 30 mins or so it may encourage more people to enjoy and then buy the ad free Version. I played for about 5 minutes and 2 of those minutes were spent watching 3 ads.
I’m not gonna lie
I’m not gonna lie. This game is very fun and interesting. And would love to see new areas get put in and new reward op defending items
Ads get worst over time.
Was great until ads were forced after every wave. You already give an option to watch an ad after every single action and force it when upgrading, which is already a little annoying on its own. Made it 10x worst forcing it after every wave on top of that.
Good
Goog
Too many ads
It is fun, but having 30s ads every minute makes almost half your time watching adverts. A pity.
Why do I keep getting kicked out of the game when I join??!!!???
I heard about this game with the adds and it seemed fun so.. why not play it? So I went to the App Store and bought it, but then when I was about to load it kept kicking me out of the game I kept trying but it kept kicking me out. Please tell me why this is happening and what I can do that might stop it?
