Fun for a while but the need to watch the world's longest ads to keep up in power each level is annoying. Also, game breaking bug alert: I have never been able to launch the battle at level 76. It just is an image of a mountain that slowly zooms out and then stops, then nothing happens

Started off as a great game. Ads weren't too much of a problem for me, I beat 3 islands, but everytime I go to the next battle it doesn't show anything except the background, restarting the game doesn't even fix it... very disappointed in this, I was actually enjoying the game.

So first, I want to say this game is just like it is in the ads, second It does need more enemies in the later levels, and third you need to add more stuff, like areas that you need to shoot arrows at or smth like that to get to the enemies. If you could to that, maybe we might have the perfect game. 5 stars✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Artificial difficulty/Preditory leveling scheme. After the first 2-3 upgrades it's easy to realise the game will never give you enough points to level your army in parallel with the enemy power increments. The game also gives enemy archers an awning that must be destroyed before the archers below take damage. Even when your arrows travel under the awning and hit the enemys, they still won't die. This combined the ad based currency boosting mechanic makes this game unwinnable without ads. :(

Fun but ads are insane. Offers you to continue or double. Eventually it will never allow you to continue without watching literally a 45-60 second add. Then eventually, even though you press watch add for double it will force you to watch add and not give you even what you actually made let alone the double. Something is wrong with the advertisements in this app. They don't work like other games. Far longer and they don't give the reward.

No two throws are ever the same, even when you use the same angle and power. I reached a level where a balloon is beyond the reach of all weapons. Castle and troops are maxed. Level is impossible to pass. Eight months later and still no update to make the level beatable. Good thing I never wasted money on this game. Can I give a zero start rating? Recently updated app still had me stuck on the same level. There's something wrong with the level or whatever passes as physics in the game.

It's a fun little game to waste time on but I will probably uninstall it due to the ads. I shouldn't have to pay to have a decent gaming experience on a free game to download. There are 30-45 second ads after each level (every 5-10 levels would be one thing) and when you try and close the game out and reenter to skip them you are met with a "Tired of the ads?" that doesn't let you skip for 5 seconds.

I don't know all of what the latest update did to the game, but please put it back to how it was before. There is no consistency to firing accuracy among other things. I enjoyed this game up to yesterday. Update: the game play is much smoother n ow, not sure if I am just used to it or if something got changed. But please, the balloon that says "get unique hero" has to be moved from the dead center of the screen. It is often interfering with my shots. Please!!!

Fun at first...but the level of forced ads is ridiculous. It gives you the option to pay to remove ADS but then you are still forced to watch them at the end of every level to get the extra coins otherwise you will not have enough to upgrade your troops to win the next level. On top of it all, there is no increase in difficulty in terms of skills or strategy. It is just the same old stuff level after level just trying to get you to watch more and more ads so they can get more and more revenue

Tried this game because I was bored. I purchased the $3 "no ads" option, and it worked for about a day. The next day, I got an ad after every round I played. This should only happen if I want the x2 reward option, but I never select it. I really wish the "No ads" purchase did what it was supposed to, but it's not like I can get a refund for it either, so whatever. This ruined my experience with the game, and I'm only giving it 2 starts because it was fun while it lasted. Deleted the game.
