| 2024-09-26 |  | | Wish gold was more accessible. Very pay-to-play in the sense that you aren't even guaranteed a gold drop every day. Upgrades become expensive for low gold income. That said, fun game, very addictive. Wish I had more gold to allow me to play more. |
| 2024-07-01 |  | | Kinda fun sometimes, but it's not well balanced. Many levels are impossible without using in game purchased items. Also your towers and heroes quickly become underpowered as levels progress if you don't shell out money for upgrades. You can play or without buying anything, but it turns into grinding on the easier levels to try to get cards and chests. So you either spend lots of money or waste lots of time. |
| 2024-05-07 |  | | It needs more gameplay...The card feature of upgrading your towers/heroes I think could be better...maybe a resource allocation instead woukd add some strategies...it's very playable though. The reason for the poor review is by the end it's nearly impossible to upgrade your towers and heroes without spending in game currency. Which is disappointing |
| 2024-05-01 |  | | Fun game! Very addictive tower defense game. Edit: I started over 7 years later. Purchased a Hero, level 8 in Chapter 3 that you get free in Chapter 6. There was a glitch and the hero disappeared. I got the Hero for free in Chapter 6 and had to start it at level 1. The company refuses to refund the money I wasted purchasing the Hero that disappeared from my game because they are saying I have the hero. I do, but it's the free one that started at level 1. |
| 2023-05-15 |  | | It's BS, it manipulates your experience constantly. The game doesn't want you to get the 1st prize and you will miss out, making 2 stars instead of 3. I've had cases where I won the 2nd time with no issues when the 1st time was impossible. I've also had cases where I used special powers and still lost but played it again and won. It only shows a certain amount of the screen and just because you can't see the end they'll barrel thru even tho you have plenty to stop them and know what passed. |
| 2023-03-17 |  | | Game is fun until around chapter 7. At this point you're still about halfway through your max upgrades on towers, which doesn't coincide with the difficulty spike. All towers should be able to be fully upgraded way before this to keep it balanced. Had to stop playing at this point because it started becoming a grind rather than a fun tower defense game. |
| 2022-07-10 |  | | Great graphics, challenging game play, good characters; but after a certain time as the amount of coins increase to upgrade and the amount of coins granted through chests or winning chapters decrease, it becomes impossible to continue. I've paid money, but it is never enough after about chapter 26. So I've just started deleting the game at that point and restarting new and have never been able to complete the entire game. |
| 2021-09-29 |  | | A fun week of play - The game is fun, but you'll top out quickly unless you're ready to pay. Normally I like to support the games I enjoy, but the cost to continue was a bit too high in my mind, and the difficulty curve appears to support paying quite a bit over time. If you get enough enjoyment out of it, it might be worth the $, but for me, this didn't quite hit the mark for me. Good for a week's worth of play though. |
| 2020-08-21 |  | | Originally had this game rated at 4 stars. Got further into the game, now level 132, and the gold problem is a huge issue. There is no way to rank up your towers or heroes late game other than buying packages with real world currency. The game and the story are fun, but it's either poorly designed and allows a player to fall far behind the rank requirements, or it was planned this way as a cash grab. Disappointing to have wasted 50 hours on this game only to give up because I'm not paying... |
| 2020-08-12 |  | | Goes from fun to grinding fast. The thing that really ruins it for me is the cost of in game purchases. The amount of money I would have to spend is very unrealistic and wouldn't amount to much in game upgrades. Looking at the cost to buy gems vs what i would be able to do with it, just isn't worth it. I don't mind spending on well done games like this one but not until there is some balance. Also frustrated that the gauntlet ticket timer does not show remaining time properly. |
