VIP related
The different tiers of the vip pass is cool. However the permanent $40 vip should realistically have everything the other 2 vip passes have.. hopefully that’ll change in the future. Would be 5 stars if permanent vip covered everything.
Am sad but before it would be a five stars instead
So such a fun game I love everything about it I used to play it everyday but one single problem happened one day I joined and for some reason it say pls leave and I tried everything deleting updating and everything I really miss this game but don’t worry I still kept the game on my iPad for one of the best moments ever thank you😍🙂😊😢😭
Okay
Non stop ads and never ending tutorial. All said.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just because
You get a one star!! Inquire within to see how to grow.
King’s review
This game is kind of fun, but there needs to be more through the ads, not looking up what it supposed to this is all
Ads on the field of play
Ads cover gameplay elements and can’t be moved, so they actively impede your options for placing gears. Worse is they can easily be accidentally clicked while trying to place gears, launching an unskippable ad mid-game. Restart the app and you lose your progress and energy spent to play that round. Very poor and malicious design.
Rigged to make you spend money
The game is very fun and enjoyable but very obviously rigged to force you to spend money to keep moving forward. The level has a suggest Unit Power of 95,000 and my unit power is 712,000, more than 7x the suggested power, yet my units can barely make a dent on the boss. This is absurd and needs to be addressed.
Difference nicely played
🤣🤣
Basics all ads
One ad after the other
I can’t play the game
Every time I click on the game it just shows an error and it kicks me out to restart it, pretty addicting even for the ads
Multiple 80 second ads every round!
Train wreck as revenue model. The ads run longer than the game. Game is great.
To boring
Boring
The most common
I’m going to be a little bit more busy this week. I am working on the schedule right now
Too many ads
Don't get me wrong, this is a fun game, but I find myself rage quitting after just a few ads. The ads they serve are very long (1 - 2 minutes each) and the game is built in a way where you are required to watch ads to beat most levels and get upgrade items. If you can't sit through 30+ ads to progress just a tiny bit each day, this game is not for you.
Bug
Hi owner why games doesn’t loading please fix that bug
Broken
Todays update broke it. Can’t navigate any menus
Terrible ads
Other than ads for other online games there is not one ad that is not extremely slimy. And despite reporting the ads keep coming. Examples Diet patch ads- one shows a mom berating her child and her child crying The ad that tells women to contact AI to change her wardrobe to keep a cheating husband Absolutely thinking of deleting Now their ads are over a minute long. Is it because they want to to purchase ad free
It’s very fun and highly addictive
Like the title suggests this game is really fun and addictive, and the best part? It’s not pay to play, and the game is free to download. The only problem I have with the game is that it requires internet connection and it’s not a good game to play if you’re going on international trips. Other than that it’s a Game
App crashes
Game keeps crashing while playing ranked trials
Ads kill the game
A game with great potential, only these ads kill the meaning of the game.
AD machine !
Only way to win is to watch ads and worse… lately the ads aren’t always granting the reward. This has happened way too many times! I like the game itself or I would have quit long time ago
Fun
The game is pretty fun, but every time I play endless mode the app crashes and I lose all my progress.
Gears,Gears&more Gears!!
Love this game!!
Trash
Once you close the game and than start it back up and push start game it don’t start. You have to delete the game and reinstall it for the game to start for a simple game like this to have a bug like this shows the skill problem developers have
Good game though
Lancers plus the morale gear, game solved.
Disappointed
Honestly thought we small game would be good, not too bad 1) customer support is awful, especially when due to their game issues, (other complaints available offplatform), compensation not given - even if paid for - you're gamer ID does absolutely nothing 2) events are copy and paste with new skin Otherwise an alright game, but won't continue to play due to the first issue
Lots of potential
Want to start by saying that no forced ads is always very much appreciated. Plenty to watch and buy if you so wish, but not necessarily any obligation to do so (although obviously it helps a bunch). This game is fun! It’s got lots of potential, my major issue is that there’s, not a whole lot of strategy I don’t think. Your success is mainly tuned to what gears you roll on each wave. Sure you could say the strategy is to reroll the gears, but that costs 5 coins which is a huge amount, leaving you with often having wasted them. Maybe you could say the gear placement is the strategy, maybe that’s fair but it feels minor due to the fact that you only can usually place one or two gears in the first place. Maybe for balance reasons we can’t get every gear to pick from every time, but a larger selection would be nice so it feels more like making strategy decisions rather than just hoping you get a good roll.
Best game ever five stars
You can upgrade your army fast when you get more gears go onto defense. It will help you be a lot more successful in battle.

Wtf are we doing? I hope bad things happen to everyone involved in making this game. Rid the world of parasitic minds who think this is okay
Sizing issues
I love this game and would give it 5 stars except for one quite big issue - I am playing it on an iPad mini and the graphics display as though they are for a much bigger screen. It means that elements are overlapping and it’s hard to see and select some of the elements on the main screens. If the game settings were changed to fit the display screen size, the elements would still be accessible but it would be so much more visible and I would be able to see things like my inactive gears, which I currently can’t do because that particular screen is squeezed to a really thin gap which doesn’t even leave space to read which gear is there.
Svip
Decent game would stat higher but latest patch wiped out my svip access.
Messy
The game gets a bit to luck based draws really give nothing and if you start with a bad draw it’s almost always never going to work out on top of that the game is a bit to simple just throwing you into the game.
Used to love it
At around level 55 the final wave had become too OP and all the fun stopped Probably some sort of pay wall I’ve watched too many ads to pay them as well Unfortunately, I’ve pretty much stopped playing daily I suppose they don’t need the revenue
You hit the end of free
You can’t make it past a certain level without spending money, L game
Good game but the ads.
I love the game but there are too many ads.Apart from that I like the game a lot more than any other games I have.
Buggy
The game overall is fun but the fact that it glitches out ruins it.
It’s okay
It’s a good game. Good concept but each level is basically the same and it won’t let me watch any videos to gain anything extra just says “video has failed” so finding it hard to progress
About the game
The game is so fun, relaxing, and you can get a lot of troops
Why can’t I play
When I enter the game it shows some Chinese characters and then kicks me out I will be uninstalling this game. 0/5 stars
Amazing
I have came across no ads and you don’t really need to pay for anything
Ads ads ads ads ads ads
Can’t make any real progression without an ad, no real instruction at the start of the game as to what works well and to get past hurdles, again you need to get past ads
Why can’t I play ads
The game doesn’t allow me to play ads at all keeps saying failed
Fggfxg
Dghbyf
Too many ads
We're supposed to watch 90+ seconds of ads for one reward???
Good but not enough coins
I have so much of every resource except coins and end up with underleveled troops that I can’t afford to upgrade. I think a nice way to do this could be like making it so you can un upgrade troops you longer use to get coins back even if it’s only like half the coins you put in or smth
Good game but endless isn’t well developed
Really enjoying the game and was excited when they brought out the endless mode. Upon first trying it, I didn’t realise that the troop would be stuck to one channel and wouldn’t attack anything else out of the three lanes. I then had to sit through 10 minutes of a single bad guy hammering my wall because I’d not designated any troops to enter that lane. Then to add onto that, I couldn’t have another go because I’m limited to 1 endless run a day??? Why?
Keeps crashing, can’t advance levels!
Gets stuck on current battle, not able to progress or fail battle
