Leave a Review iBomber Defense Pacific
I generally don't care for these games.
However... I've become obsessed with iBomber. I played this title so much, that when I close my eyes, I still see the game in the darkness of my mind. I don't even remember what prompted my decision to purchase it initially. I am just happy that I did. The learning curve is just right, the control scheme feels like a natural extension of my thoughts and the strategy element is the perfect balance. To top it off, the graphics are above other titles in the same genre. My only complaint, is my apparent lack for need of social interaction... very well done.Show lessPuckerboy
3stars on iPhone/iTouch, 4stars on iPad
I'm a fan of Tower Defense type games and this one is pretty good, especially if you're into WWII era stuff (as opposed to sci fi or fantasy Tower Defense). Graphics, game play, controls and sound effects are all spot on - well done! The biggest dissappointment was to play it on the small screen of my iTouch - the font/words are SO TINY, I could barely make them out! There are lots of other games that I play on my iTouch that has writing/words and they are easy to read, there's no reason other than oversight or sloppiness that fonts are this small in IBomber. I'm going to delete this form my iTouch and just only play it on my iPad3 :)Show lessCurtOak
Worth the 99¢ for sure
Great tower defense game with an interesting twist in that enemy units don't need to proceed in the same path. They will stop and try to destroy your towers from defensive positions. The ramp up at the beginning of negate is a bit steep for all the possible complexities, it could have done with an extra level or two to teach what tactics are best in each case such as trenching in or how much extra damage a comm tower will host your defenses.
The crash on launch seems to be common but the trick is to restart your iPad completely. Has another annoying bug, users get victory points for a level that you can use towards power ups, if you redo a level and do worse than the previous attempt then you lose the difference in victory points. It gets recorded as the first attempt but your given only your second attempt. So even going back and doing the level again does nothing to regain those points. I currently have what they call a full House of every level up to 8, which means I should have a rounded number of victory points as they are given in tens and used in tens but I have 8 left over, which is exactly the difference in score between my two attempts.
I wish I could write more but you can't write a review on the iPad and see what your typing past the first 300 characters.Show lessFarranquin
Beautiful but boring
The first thing that strikes you about this game is the beauty of it. It really can't be matched graphically by any other tower defense games. That said, I lost interest in this game very quickly because it's just not fun. I think part of the reason is that the game is too zoomed out by default so it's just not as much fun when you kill the units. It's also extremely annoying that the whole map cannot fit on the screen. You could have a tower / weapon getting destroyed off screen and not know about it.
All in all, there's a lot of potential here but also a lot of fun that's missing. For your money, you're much better off right now with a game like Kingdom Rush.Show lessrbaghai
STOP COMPLAINING PEOPLE
Listen the game can be challenging but its no where near impossible i basically beat the game and i never died, its fun but hard enough to make you think, which makes it more fun than just sitting there watching wave of enemies go by being bored. So if you like rower defense games get it this is way more fun than all 5 bloons games! And best on IOSShow lessWakskkjyseff
Good but buggy
Lots of bugs. Poorly balanced. Easy level can be very hard. Win some levels and can't advance until go back first in menus -very buggy. Assign points and it will sometimes forget. Many nuances you have to figure out because help is virtually useless.
Very difficult to earn decent amounts of money for upgrades. Nothing defines perks so you have to figure them out to a degree. What do bars under perks mean? How come you can't assign perks on third level from first but you can on second levels. Who knows because help is non-existant.
In app purchase kills spirit of the game. And if I am paying for it I should be able to use anytime. It is, after all, a game!!!!
This is truly like a beta version. Potential is great but wait until 2.0.Show lessSydBTN
Incredibly fun, incredibly frustrating
Fantastic graphics, audio and production value. Like all good games, it lures you in with easy levels and a sense of accomplishment. Then out of nowhere it becomes quite difficult causing you to rethink your strategy. Unlike most games, however, it doesn't allow you to get better. It teases you with an upgrade system whose only currency is achieved by playing the campaign. If you don't perfect a campaign mission, you don't get full points and thus miss out on potential upgrades. Be warned though, don't expect to regain those points by playing again. The game has completely different mechanics via replay, whose sole purpose seems to exist to gain achievements. So by the time you reach later levels, unless you've played it perfectly on the first try, you're so far behind in upgrades that the levels, even on rookie, become nearly impossible.Show lessEaghra
5 stars BUT...
For a total of $3.99 plus tax it's fairly expensive. Don't purchase the upgrade bomb for $.99. It's useless. There are only 2 'bonus' missions and maybe 12-15 real missions. You must pause the game every few seconds to 'dig in' your turrets which slows down game play. Difficult on rookie level. Rating a 5 only because I hope for more stages upgrades weapons bonus missions. Good game but could be great.Show lessDesertsky420
Good
Definately a good and beautiful game! Until it crash at the last wave of that hard level, totally desapointed... Always when I open it the game crash, after a few tries works, and sometimes crash in the middle of the game! And worse, don't have multitasking, so you can't pause and when I receive messages and the popup appears the game crashes and a loose everything on the level I was playing... Loosing my patience and the excitiment to play, and by the way, wasn't cheap!Show lessCah-USA
Ranks
I really love this game. My one complaint is that they need to pay a little more attention to detail with the military ranks. If the game is going to follow the history of the war in Pacific, then they should at least be able to get ranks correct. Lieutenant Colonel rank is silver and Major rank is gold, the creators have it backwards. This is a small complaint, but the devil is in the details.Show lessBowvmi2001
