Fun game
My 6 year old son loves this game and he now got me into playing it with him. It’s a lot of fun. The ads can be annoying but this game has less than I was expecting so that’s a plus.
Waste of time
Very buggy and not responsive. Plus the levels are way too short. You don’t have time to upgrade your weapons, when you start getting into the level it’s over.
Fun game
Fun game Easy to play Been playing it for years Great game for a quick tower defense game
Crashing
Every time I go to open my game now it’s crashing I’ve deleted and downloaded again it hasn’t worked
Decent fun, but the challenge ends in the middle
This is fun, but after a point somewhere around level 20 it stops being any kind of challenge.
The game good but when you buy some thing it does does not work
I tried buying something and it did not work
Glitch
Lost one of the defense towers and now double it up on a second one, has not upgraded, and you cannot notify makers of error.
Tower defense
Fun game
Decent KR Clone but…
The major issue with this game is difficulty/cash shop. I feel bad knowing all this other heroes/towers are added to the game, knowing no one will use them. The ‘Hard’ difficulty is trivial with the free starter heroes and towers. The cash shop offers no incentive to purchase anything, as it wouldn’t even speed up completing the game. Some other somewhat glaring problems in no particular order… 1. Only a few towers have upgrade animations. Some towers have 3 levels, some have 5 with no additional choices 2. At 4X speed and up, the Jedi towers break, spazzing the units across the screen and flashing everywhere 3. Level length is too short, and there’s really only about 6-7 enemies. Even at 2X speed, a level takes only a minute or two. When the levels are this short, there’s no long term strategy so you just place any tower wherever and you’ll still win (even on hard!) 4. Power balance of towers. You’ll be fine really with any of them, but you can just spam fire mage and go AFK. It’s cheaper than the Jedi tower and is way too OP 5. Varying texture resolution. Some assets are clean/crisp, but most are blurry and undefined when you really look at them 6. No indication before starting a level if there will be air/water units. Nothing like making it to the last wave just to have 5 helicopters teleport to the end, and you need a special tower to take them down. Great replaying the entire thing just to put one different tower For a game that ripped most of the core gameplay off of an already established title, you need to improve on those mechanics, not half bake each one. A lot of good things going on though, and with a little polish, could easily rival KR and similar games
Great game but...
I am a huge fan of tower defense games and this game is no exception but I have been playing some of these levels and have been noticing that some of the levels are exact copies of levels in kingdom rush frontiers for example level 3.1 is the exact same path layout and map shape as level 6 in kingdoms rush, and level 3.2 is the exact same as level 14 in kingdom rush just with two of the “fake” Paths have been turned into real paths.
Amazing
Amazing try it out
Scam
This game is a re skin scamof another tower defense game
Fun but problem
Hi I love this game a lot but whenever I press league, it just stays on a loading screen.plz help
Meh
Fun, but gets repetitive quick which is fine but then there soooooo many ads in between. And the ads are long so makes it not with it. and after awhile it just starts crashing. Can’t finish any levels. I’ll get to the final wave and the app closes out on me.
What's Happened??
Ok so I'm gonna assume this has come about after the last patch cause now i can't open the roulette wheel or the hero's tab or anything and also the very first hero you use in the game for me anyway was level 15 and fully maxed out and now he is back to level 0 with no bonus special attacks!. And also I'd upgraded my machine gunners to like level 4 and other defences only to find when playing a level that it won't let me upgrade anything more than one tier and something's like the missile launchers don't upgrade at all which is making getting thru level rather frustrating now... can we please get this all fixed asap cause I do like this game but if it continues to frustrate me then I'm gonna have to say bye bye to it 🙁
love it!
this is a great game, overall one of the tower defences because it gets harder over time (thats what she said) it also has unique heros which this company is known for. 5 stars cant wait for the next release!
What a ripoff :(
This game is a shameless ripoff of the Kingdom Rush series. The gameplay, features, maps, and even to some extent the music are all shoddy imitations, but it all feels clunky and hastily put together. It’s a disappointing plagiarism and a huge disrespect toward Ironhide Games. Do better.
Good game might need more difficulty
Very good game it just neeeds some more difficulty
Want to like it but issues..
I really want to like this game but it has a lot of pay wall issues. You get 4 tower slots for free with one more unlocked by watching a video each day and a 1$ for the last slot. The same goes with heroes. Unfortunately you can only obtain about 1/3 of the heroes via play the others are all 2$ pay walls each. The game is definately designed to be a grind but that’s just to pad content which isn’t really a crime just a way to keep you around. I do dislike the bate and switch with the ads. You can pay money to remove ads (which I did) I thought to remove frivolous ads but instead just reduces them in order to bottleneck you into ads that can’t be bypassed. I assume to playcate you hey give you currency for watching an add you didn’t want but I do feel it’s kind of shady why charge you to remove ads and then not remove ads.. I can’t in good conscience stick around for these practices.

Descent time
Fun way to spend some down time
This is a wonderful game, not very difficult but still a wonderful game. Thank you to the dev team and anyone else who worked to make this happen.
Poor customer support
The game is fun. Fun enough to spend some dollars on it. But when you don’t receive what you puchased it is a downer. But hey nothing is perfect, no problem. When then you request support and nobody responds then this just p#ss-poor and you deserve no stars.
Very good
It should come with the new update to make full screen on iPhone X +
Bleh
Badly made ripoff of kingdom rush. Far too easy even on hard mode rendering it boring
Mikemikemike
Good
Awesome
Interesting game. Fun to play. Game control is easy to learn
My 2 towers I purchased r not unlocking
Purchased the guitarist and monk tower pack, got charged unlocked ads, bought two more towers which unlocked but feel like got fleeced. Wish someone would help
Addictive
It’s a good time waster
Still ads when pay for no ads!
Good game but even after paying for no ads when you use YOUR chips to win a reward you have to watch an ad to claim the reward you spent YOUR chips getting! And already paid for no ads! Not good.
Fun......... but
So over in app purchases blerg
Great game
It's definitely one of the best tower defense games I've ever played. It combats the common problem of getting boring after you've already built a solid defense by limiting resources and shortening individual missions to keep you engaged. It's relaxing and a good pick-up-and-play for when your bored.
Zero if possible update
Still terrible in EVERY conceivable way. Energy is the mind killer. Not just pay to win (it is), but also pay to play. They bribe people in game! for good reviews, which should be banned. Original review: I don't get the good reviews for this game. It's one of those TD games that people have slapped different skins on, but you see the same game over and over. There's a timer to play (or you can pay) and the difficulty ramps up quickly, leaving you to grind or pay. It doesn't feel like any strategy is really needed, just deep pockets or a LOT of patience. No fun. No fun at all. Worst game ever.
Decent
Absolutely love this game. On my iPhone XR the league doesn’t work and never has. Have a look at this please?
Not steam punk, mediocre game play
Nothing steam punk about this amateurish and unoriginal tower defense game. Mediocre graphics and animation, inaccurate health meters, generally boring game play. All made worse with heavy, long ads constantly forced on you.
Not a bad game...
Waiting for "fuel" takes too long.
Excellent well made game
beautiful graphics and gameplay
Issue on level two,
Literally started the game and wiped the guys faces off the map on first mission. Mission number two unable to kill any one on normal. Felt like what the heck and tried hard killed everyone. Seems to be some bad programming that is making level two normal difficulty impossible. Unable to get any further in game due to this issue.
Now then
Top game but good god fix the crashing! All the way through lengthy levels for it to crash at the end!
Lots of Ads...
Ads are commonplace with most games but this one is pretty extreme. Through the game you earn tokens, and when you earn enough you can spin a wheel to earn gold. Once you spin the wheel and win the gold, you are forced to watch a video before you can collect the gold... Or you lose your winnings?!!! It’s not cool.
not bad
not good either
Simple
Perfect if you are bored. Mindless pleasure of tower defense
Game shuts down
This game is glitching and shutting down on levels 12 right before I complete the board. Really upset because I spent money on this game! Will rate higher once this is fixed!
Great game but..
I love this game! The look of it is great and the game play is hard and challenging which I like but iv got to a point now where I can’t even play it because il be half way through a level and the game cuts out and closes itself on my phone, so can’t even play it anymore, please sort this bug out otherwise I’m going to have to delete the game all together
Paying does NOT remove ads.
Game says that after buying a bonus pack that ads would be removed. They have not been. Dirty tricks.
All good
Not bad
I love TD
I love Tower defense because they are so FUN so I gave it fivestars
Crushes just before the end
After trying the trial, this game always crashes in level 23 and can’t progress, no matter how many times you try. Also there are a lot of ads. Really disappointing!
Some confusing elements
L3.4 seems impossible to protect the villager even with all hero’s protecting him, ice deployed, insurgent and flames from above. Walks past the flames then dies from gunfire? Says multi player at L3 but completed all levels and still no MP option available.
No level 25
It says to get the new hero complete level 25, there isn’t a level 25?
Game
It's ok
