I like the different towers, but at some, point, event maxed out, they don’t do enough damage. Some levels you only get specific towers and against, event maxed out, can finish level. I might revisit this game later, but since I can win any level now, I am board with it. **Developer response:** MMoore - thanks for the review!

But since the original days of subway surfers and temple run, nothing new and creative has piqued my interest. Ancient Allies is the perfect new game for me. I have found it difficult to look up at my kids since downloading it. I have not been able to put this game down!!!!! Ancient Allies Tower Defense is the perfect blend of strategy, toughness, and fun. Combining the best attributes from every mobile game on the market, it is clear that the makers of this game are creative geniuses. I will be buying shares ASAP because this new game will soon be the best new hit sensation-I’m calling it now. Go download this game right now and you will not regret it!!!!! **Developer response:** Thanks Timotee, we greatly appreciate the review! It means a lot to hear all of our hard work and ideas have paid off in your life! Maybe your kids can join you and try playing AATD too! Mine are still too young to get the hang of it, but my friend's 4 year old made it past the first 10 Rome campaigns without help!

Not once have I been asked to review. There’s nothing in this game that feels pay to win. Pay for convenience- sure. What a refreshing game to finally find after days of games that ask for money before the fire level. Hope to play this for a long time and hope I don’t feel the need to spend a dime anytime soon to enjoy its potential. **Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review! We try our best to keep Ancient Allies a very high quality game! Of course we need to make revenue somehow, but players deserve a game that isn't so "in your face" about it. We hope you keep playing! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
