I've been playing this game for probably about six months and loving it, but lately the lag has gotten well beyond unacceptable. This is the only app on my phone that lags, so it's not an issue on my end. This game involves very active play: you need to strategically place and move your units around the board over the course of each round. As far as the moving part goes, time is of the essence; you need to act quickly and your units need to move exactly where you want them to, exactly when you want them to. This was quite possible for some time, but over the past few weeks or couple of months the game has begun to lag so badly that this strategic placement and replacement of units is impossible to do. I put my finger on a unit and drag my finger to where I want the unit to go, only to find that my finger never picked up the unit and it's still standing where it was before I attempted the move operation. Now precious seconds have been lost to lag and if I'm going to get out of the round without damage to my castle, I now need to move twice as fast, which I can do – but the game is even less capable of keeping up with such fast movement than it is with the original movement that it failed to keep up with in the first place.
One reviewer called this "strategic lag" and if that's what it is, I'll be sorely disappointed in the developers.
I'm still enjoying the game as of this writing, and I hope I'll be able to continue to do so, but this lag issue is wearing heavily on my patience. I have some very powerful units and I enjoy the game's challenge and would hate to delete it because it's become unplayable, but unless this lag gets addressed somehow, that's what I foresee happening.
