Fun game great way to pass a few waiting minutes. ### 5/5 — Fun *2017-04-18, version 1.6* Old school! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2016-12-28, version 1.6* Especially because it's free. Go for it. ### 5/5 — Quality product *2016-12-17* Solid game. ### 5/5 — Oh yeah *2016-12-13, version 1.6* Love this game. ### 5/5 — To good *2016-11-02, version 1.6* I can not lie at all one of the best ### 5/5 — O my god!!! *2016-10-07, version 1.6* This is awsome ### 5/5 — Cool *2016-09-25, version 1.6* Awsome ### 4/5 — Bien *2016-09-09* Bon jeu pour passé le temps chez le Medecin ou dans les transports ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-08-15, version 1.6* Addicting and fun fame ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot Even Start the Game *2020-06-26* First off this is not the full game it is only a sample. Second the very first screen you see is to choose your troops. But even if you click on every pixel on the screen NOTHING happens on an IPad Pro 2018 version with the latest updates of the IOS . So this game is effectively WORTHLESS. You will uninstall it shortly after you install it. ### 1/5 — 3 star levels *2017-03-01, version 1.6* I am convinced there are no solutions to some of the 3 star levels. They are just there to tick you off. ### 1/5 — Graveyard lvl 14 crashes repeatedly *2016-07-06, version 1.6* Using 2 assassins & a bunch of Giants. iPhone 5c ### 3/5 — Fun game with terrible UI on iPhone *2024-09-23* The gameplay is fun, but the UI is not suitable for iPhone. Everything is far too small and manipulating elements on the screen is tedious and error-prone. I frequently pick up the wrong unit, drop a unit on the wrong target, etc. ### 3/5 — Kind of fun *2017-02-24, version 1.6* This game is fun, and I like to challenge my friends to a match. However, the graphics are horrible, and the giants are too slow. ### 4/5 — Not bad for a free game *2023-02-13* Nifty little game. Not bad at all. Caught it during their promo where it was free. ### 4/5 — GameCenter Problem *2017-02-13* Great game, fun to play. Whenever I try to play multiplayer online it says I am not signed in to GameCenter, despite getting the "welcome back" banner when launching the game. ### 4/5 — Easy to learn, difficult to master *2017-01-22, version 1.6* Learning the game is easy, but finish all the levels in hard to get 3 stars is the real challenge. A nice game to pass the time when you have no internet connection! ### 4/5 — Great *2016-11-07, version 1.6* It's a good game but gets a little repetitive? ### 4/5 — Good Game *2016-10-06* I got this game when it was free for a week. I finished all the levels, and it was okay for what it was. For most levels, I just used a bunch of assassins. Not worth it if you pay for it, but it was a pretty cool game for free. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A fun little puzzle fighter *2025-01-21* Exactly what the tittle says. Just a fun little puzzler battle game ### 5/5 — Great *2024-10-05* Not a bot. This was my favorite childhood game and it still is amazing ### 5/5 — Fun little strategy game *2023-02-21* New look on tower defense, with more emphasis on initial strategy. Hours of fun. ### 5/5 — Play this game *2021-01-14* This is so good play this game I’ve played all 4 games and I think you should too ok! ### 5/5 — Last level is hard as hell!!! *2020-04-30* Why can’t I use the units used by the enemy?! Please update it so I can use them in single player! ### 5/5 — Hi *2020-04-02* More people needed ### 5/5 — Артем *2018-04-07, version 1.7* Очень хорошая игра давайте делайте ещё уровни ### 5/5 — Fun old school stuff!!!! *2017-12-20* Fun old school stuff!!!
