Ads and game pictures

lol I just wrote this and was looking at the pictures and the text they put on the images is incredibly wrong. They say defend your tower but you are defending a portal. They say evolve your monsters but there is no way to evolve them. You unlock new ones with currency you get. How do you not even know what is in your own game? This game itself is not bad. The funny part is you would think the part that makes them money they would make sure works. Just started playing and watched I want to say 3 level of ads so 15 and now almost every single ad is a black screen. I have to close and reopen the app and the floating treasure chest is gone. It's becoming tedious and to the point where won't watch any other ads. So their way of making money won't make them any from me.

Great game but the monsters

I like playing the game but whenever i summon a monster I get the same one and It doesn’t give me a duplicate where I can’t put the same monster down. Besides that I really like the game.

Expensive mtx, no updates

Game has expensive mtx for what the game is… it cant really be called an idle game if you have to check on it every hour unless you pay $5. Also the fact that there hasnt been an update in over a year means you shouldnt waste a single minute if your time or a single penny on this game

Absolutely Love It

It’s a pretty nice idle game, I’m haven’t played enough tower defense games to compare but it seems like a relatively decent one. The monsters and enemies are designed well and I’m a huge fan of the art style and the gameplay loop is simple but enjoyable. Again, it’s more of a tower defense themed idle game if anything, but as an idle game it’s pretty nice.

“Idle” Game

This is a great game. Only problem I see (as an avid player of many games, especially idle) is that the levels don’t actually progress while you’re offline. Only currency accumulates but to progress through the levels you have to leave the game open. That is not a true idle & honestly ruins the otherwise great experience. If this was changed I’d happily give 5 stars.

I love the game, just have a suggestion

Hi I have been playing this game for a little over a year and I absolutely love it. I think it would be helpful if you guys added spell layouts just like you have for monster layouts. You can put it in the bottom left right next to the spells?

Love this game but please allow offline level progression

This game is extremely fun and addictive but there should be an offline level progression up to your current max level. It’s an idle game :/ kind of silly not to have that feature.

Extremely greedy, progression falls off a cliff

The game is extremely extremely greedy constantly pushing you worthless garbage for like $40. Tries to sell you $10-$20 buffs that arent even permanent. Game becomes very boring around wave 350-400 when progression slows down hard

— Kalashnikov9

★★★☆☆ United States · v1.44 · 26 Nov 2021

Good game but hidden costs

The game itself is fun but everything costs money. Want 2x speed, $$. Want to collect more than 4 hrs offline, $$. Don’t want ads, $$. The list goes on and on. I foresee a paywall eventually also.

Good Game but…

I wish the equip and upgrade button wasn’t above n below each other. I keep accidently upgrading when I am trying to equip a different skill in challenge map. Its costing me alot of essence for skills i don’t want to upgrade…

— ReviewerReviews13579

★★☆☆☆ United States · v101 · 21 May 2023

So close to a perfect game, expensive to support

Great tower defense idle game with fun upgrades and challenges. The costs are very expensive and should be 50% lower across the board , often times predatory with “deals”. Consider more new achievements and consider bumping free gems from 10 for ads to 20 gems Consider holiday events with bonus diamonds or 2x multipliers for diamonds or earn every 100 wave (flat rate without a buff)

TO DEVELOPERS

this game is awesome! so many options that keep you on your toes. beautiful design and cute complex monsters. and the fact that you can prestige makes it all the best. definitely worth the play and download. there are some small bugs though. NOTE TO DEVELOPER: i clicked the cargo ship option and it isn’t spawning the cargo but i’ll receive the awards for my daily cargo spawn.. i really hate when it happens because i don’t get the loot (500k gold 150 green soul things) name in game : blaqheart

It is actually fun but around wave 1000 it is horribly slow going. It takes me weeks to have the attention span to get back around my highest level. I have the x2 speed too but it’s still just way too slow going.

Love hate

I really enjoy playing this game - the only downside is that about 70% of the time when I play the challenge map it either crashes whilst I’m playing it - and as a result I lose one attempt and the progress on the map or it crashes after I have played all three times and I lose all my challenge points it’s so frustrating

Cloud Save Issue

I’ve been trying to transfer my progress to my new phone, and it keeps telling me that I’m using an invalid user ID or password, when I know for a fact I’m using the correct information. There doesn’t appear to be a way to reset or recover any of this information. This is extremely annoying because I have essentially having to start from scratch. There is no help related to this issue online, or through your wiki. Please assist.

— Rosicrucian

★★★★☆ United States · v1.44 · 22 Aug 2021

Overall, 4/5

The game as a whole runs pretty smoothly and allows F2P (Free to Play) players compete evenly with other players in tournaments. This is due to the gems being earned in the game. On the other hand, when the game runs over 5 minutes; it crashes and reverts any progress made in the time running.

Great game but 1 issue

It’s a great game and I love it there is just 1 problem, the game is glitches and I can’t get any buffs for my earth creatures tending them useless. Idk if this is a glitch or maybe I’m just really unlucky but I have all the other type creature buffs at lvl 10+ while earth is still at 0. I also had a hunch it’s because I haven’t gotten the earths common creature and that too is impossible for me to get.

★★★☆☆ Australia · v1.35 · 26 Dec 2020

Solid game but not 100% idle

I enjoyed the thoughtfulness behind the towers and The amount of time required to progress to the next cards is simply too much. Current idle mechanics give gold and not essence or level progression. At higher levels you require 25+ essence in order to get a 12% chance of the monster you want. Each level requires approx 15 seconds to complete and each level gives you 1 essence. To get 100 essence you will need 1500 seconds or ~25 minutes. I’m only at the legendary stage and I can’t imagine the time sink required to get to mythic and beyond. It’s a great game but the time requirements are too high for me.

Pretty good

Pretty satisfying to grind up through, at least at first, but then that's most idle games. Biggest issue for me is that waves don't progress when the app is closed. Really eats up battery needing to be on and active all the time.

Good but boring later

Hey, actually real commenter here. I'd suggest this game if you like games that are fun for about 2 days. Late game is extremely boring, it's a cycle of "Upgrade monsters, afk, upgrade monsters, afk, prestige, upgrade in general, upgrade monsters..." you get the groove. There's no end in sight either. Unless you like to torture yourself, not worth the 20 hours I put into it thinking there would be more content. Spoiler: there wasn't.

— Smiley randomnumbers123

★★★☆☆ Australia · v1.31 · 30 Sept 2020

Not an idle game

Title is misleading, it’s NOT an idle game. You don’t progress while game is close. It’s pay to win type of game. The grind is real. Not that great but not bad. I would suggest not wasting real money on this. Since the game doesn’t progress while offline, game gets stale quickly especially when you’re on high level already. It takes a lot of time just to progress unless you had your device on all the time.

No option to undo an accidental upgrade

I had good bonus dmg from stacking fire towers, only to notice 100 gems missing from my inventory. For some reason, I ended up getting rerolled artifacts despite never touching that button (it really shouldn’t be so obnoxious). Now it has given me bonus dmg towards a type that I have not worked on, which completely screws me over unless I now reroll purposely. I didn’t mind my fingers accidentally touching the green essence upgrades for the spell page when I equip/unequip them, however it is nonetheless annoying to not have any “confirmation” prompt. Will change the rating if there is a way to reprimand this, spent 10 dollars on it.

— reviewdude010101

★★★☆☆ Canada · v1.22 · 20 Aug 2020

Ok

It’s just a lot of grinding even though I know that’s the point of the game I still think there is to much. Prestiging is to easy. Also the spells are not that useful. Other than this good game. On my phone it also didn’t get me coins offline I think this might be a bug.
