Best Indie Game Ever!
I’ve been playing for a month now or maybe even less but it’s SO addictive! I’m already on level 63 and if you used to like playing red alert and those types of games, you will like this game. Truly great work and happy 1 year birthday!!!
Randomly deleted my save
Logged on to find out my progress was randomly deleted
Minimal ads!
Compared to other games seems like minimal ads!!!! And fun trying to organize the space you have to maximize your troops. Minimal ads and the music make it not frustrating!!!
TOO MANY ADS
The game play of this is pretty good but you can’t get through a single match without seeing 6+ ads…. I’ve given it a fair shot but this has pushed me off to far. Un downloading
Pay to win
Okay game, but you have to pay to get far.
Nice game. Very fun
I like it. Its very refreshing from other games where you need to be always playing. Also very nuce that you dont need energy or food or anything to play. Yes you have ads. But i seem way worst. Yours are well place or not to intrusive. For real for a free game this is very nicely done. Keep the good work. Very nice
Crashes at lvl 125 wave 7
Can’t get past lvl 125 wave 7 as soon as the wave starts it freezes up my phone and need to fully reboot it
Love the update, but
Love the update! The new features make it more fun. But I miss the old look of the game. It was more soft, bright and appealing. Now, with the update, the colours seem washed out. It feels so neutral, dark and unappealing to the eyes. The UI design was also softer—buttons were more round and text were less sharp. The new slick and sharp look makes it feel too mature. I wish the old design had stayed. I still love this game, but I wish they would’ve kept the old colour palette and the softer look. Bug: whenever an ad plays during a level, the music and sound of the game don’t work when you finish the ad. Even if you turn the music and sound button on and off there’s no volume. You have to refresh the entire game to get sound.
Thanks for resetting my buildings
All the green gears spent on upgrading the buildings are just gone now after the update. Nice work!
New Update made me weaker
I love this game, I have been waiting months for this update! However this update screwed me over, you released upgrades for troops as a card format and all my troops were over level 100 previously. Now I’m at stage 150+ and these troops have no upgrades and get destroyed in wave 1. Please find a way to balance it for people who have been playing a long time and now have no way to get their troops strong
Great Game!
Very addictive, not too many ads unless you want the rewards.
Ai
The game has very obvious ai images, and is poorly optimized, it over heats my phone, 1.removed the ai, I would literally prefer nothing over ai 2. Instead of just adding more enemies, just make them stronger and add an option to remove special effects
Great game but too much ads.
The game is crashing all the time. Get rid of the video ads and use just pictures and close out instantly.
Constantly Freezing
The game was fun until about a week ago when it constantly freezes. I can get maybe 2 or 3 battles before it freezes my whole phone. The app is not playable. I even did the most recent update and it still crashed and froze. Don’t waste your time, it’s very annoying to play…
I love the game but prices WAY too high
Awesome game but prices are crazy for everything. I spend a lot monthly on phone games and play many , buy these prices should be half at least, cannot imagine people paying that much for simplest things. Otherwise great
Great game
Really fun game, easy to pick up and play whenever. Ads are 90% your choice. Others are short. My only complaint is how confusing some of the wording/UI is. I still don’t know if abilities you get from XP stack or overwrite previous *star level* I don’t know what the actual bonus is for having all gear the same - you just get a pretty icon. A few other things that aren’t crystal clear. Adding some explanations here and there would be awesome. Great game though!
Horrible Game
Been playing this game for a long time and they did an update and reset all progress and how the game is played. Sucks now, deleting it and never returning.
Report a bug
Report a bug where when an enemy is frozen and then slow it, the enemy will not stop due to the freezing, but will instead move forward slowly.
Fun but laggy
The game is very fun when in bored situations, it saves at whatever wave or level you’re playing so you don’t have to worry about losing any progress. The only issue is that the game lags A LOT, I’ve loaded into games and seconds later everything bugs out and I have to close my phone and reopen it, just for it to happen again (especially annoying after watching ads for in game loot and then it glitches and resets you back to the last save).
Accidental Gem
I honestly landed on this game via an add and thought it was going to be one of those trashy games, but it turned out to be awesome. Yes their are thing to purchase like any game, however this game shines in its ability too not force me to buy anything to play and enjoy myself.
Forced ads
Game was 5/5 until the forced ads started.
Great game but need to fix the bug.
It’s great for kill time and boredom but I noticed the “supplies” and “wardrums” didn’t work and don’t give effects whatever nearby. I’m having fun playing it and I hope the developers will take notice and need to fixed the problem.
Fun but…
Since the recent update my game has become nearly unplayable because it constantly freezes in the middle of battles.
Ad removal cost is ridiculous
It costs 24.99 to remove ads which is already very high and that bundle only removes forced ads. If you don’t want to watch rewarded ads you have to shell out $119.99. Laughable
Good, but could be improved
The game is good for what it is. It’s what you would expect of a game of this nature. But a way to improve the game, would for the trees to be physical barriers that ally and/or just enemy units can’t pass through. Making the choice of which tree to remove that much more impactful.
Meh
Le jeu est répétitif
Five star game ruined by forced ads
Forced ads are pathetic. Theres an option to remove ads but it’s too expensive.. even if you remove the ads there’s still characters etc you can buy… eventually the price ads up way beyond a AAA console game!! The devs need to remember it’s a phone game with not a whole lot to it, you shouldn’t be charging high prices for simple things. This is exactly how amazing games end. The game is just missing an endless mode(unless I havnt reached it yet) but at the same time with forced ads the mode would be easily ruined unless it saves your progress. The Grand battle mode does NOT save your progress… so again, the forced ads ruin this game mode and make it unplayable. And lately after resuming progress, nothing works!! You can’t start the round.. wow.. i came back after a long break only to now delete the game.
Good game but some need to improve
The game is better than many other merge games. Here are some points: 1. Bug: When you spend diamonds cutting a tree then you cannot sell buildings sometimes. 2. The towers are too weak- the attack is much too weak. You can upgrade soldiers but you cannot upgrade towers in your skill tree. 3. The pop up ad before 1st wave EVERY-TIME is annoying. The reward ads are all 60+5+5 seconds are also disgusting. Hope the developers can read this.
Mid game forced ads ruined it
Ads to upgrade after each level plus a couple ads once in a while were fine until level 30. Now there are forced ads every minute or more. Ads are long! Game is now unplayable. Was a good game for a couple days so I am giving 3 stars
Constant crashes
I have really enjoyed this game but it constantly crashes since the new update. Really miss it as it was a fun way to decompress but fees like it causes more stress than it releases now. Hope the bugs can get worked out…looking forward to playing again and being able to share a great review
Forced purchases and lost progress
Any time a strategy game is unsolvable without purchasing in real currency is a failed game. Added to that if you leave a level even at the 9/10 wave, the entire level is restarted. All purchases are gone and in game currency is not restored. Plus is a battery drain. Small tweaks and it’s an amazingly addictive game.
You ruined my play through
Suddenly I can’t survive the first wave of a level without watching an ad, even though I have watched many ads to level up my dudes. Why are you screwing previous players? My archers were close to lvl 30 but now they’re lvl 2
Was good until update
I have been playing the game for a few months and enjoying it. Yes there are adds. But I still enjoyed this quirky game. Since the update, building will disappear between rounds. I have had to restart entire rounds because the buttons dont work. Moving to merge buildings and you may find you cannot place another building in the open spot. I have removed trees one round only to find that the place that was open before doesn’t allow anything in that spot the next round. Too many glitches are making me dislike this game.
