Прям во время игры (25 библейских) на воскрес , и все пухи поменял и усилки … выживание бред ### 4/5 — Pretty cool *2026-05-08, version 1.2.136* I play this when I’m flying. Passes the time and who doesn’t love a tower defense game. ### 4/5 — Атмосферно *2026-04-06* Клевая графика вроде не ии. Но без алмазов в какой-то моменты ты сильно проседаешь(( ### 5/5 — Ancient Plant *2026-04-05, version 1.2.136* Just good ole fun! Graphics are solid, gameplay progressively challenging with helpful tutorials a quirky storyline that culminates into an entertaining gaming experience. Thanks developers…why not make another 1. This was and still is a lot of fun! ### 5/5 — Kicka$$game *2026-03-25, version 1.2.136* Love the game ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-03-10, version 1.2.136* Terrific game, no forced ads and you don’t have to pay to win. It’s sad that that’s a selling point for games these days but that being said, the game is fun too. Challenging but not impossible, love it. ### 4/5 — Nice *2026-03-08, version 1.2.136* Recommend it ### 5/5 — This game is awesome *2026-02-07, version 1.2.136* This game is the classic tower defense game. The towers and upgrades are unique and engaging. The comic bits with the aliens are adorable. There are no intrusive adds and the game is not based on micro transactions like other mobile games are. Overall my favorite tower defense game. ### 5/5 — Dirty biker *2026-02-05, version 1.2.136* Ripping game but a lot of grind to move on game needs more coins or more waves and they don’t fix the problems with the game. They’re absolutely not available. They send you vague replies when you complain about how the game is either laggy or it doesn’t work correctly and all they say is oh they’re a little tougher you can win them and it’s they want you to buy coin ### 5/5 — Mr j *2026-01-30, version 1.2.136* It’s a great game it has a lot of challenges as u go through the game I’d highly recommend it to anyone who up for the challenge ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-01-17, version 1.2.136* Hot ### 5/5 — Fun, no ads! *2026-01-17, version 1.2.136* Great game and I like that most of it can be played with one hand. And no f'n ads!!! ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-01-11, version 1.2.136* Great graphics and smooth game play ### 5/5 — Worth it *2025-12-31, version 1.2.136* Finally a game where you’re not being force fed ads and ptw BS ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-12-23, version 1.2.136* I love this game!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-12-23, version 1.2.136* Great game ### 5/5 — Dirty biker *2025-12-08, version 1.2.136* Ripping game but a lot of grind to move on game needs more coins or more waves ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-03-03, version 1.2.136* awesome some concept awesome graphics but incredibly unbalanced. The levels are really had and unless you get 3 stars on every level you can’t unlock the next map. And gem prices for upgrades are really expensive compared to the small amount of gems you get for replaying levels making grinding for gems to upgrade incredibly unrealistic. Make the game balanced and it’ll be 5 stars. Not everyone can afford to pay massive amounts of money to progress. Shame. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2026-01-26, version 1.2.136* Every single level starts with massive hand holding. Place this here, that there and so on. ### 1/5 — Dirty biker *2026-01-21, version 1.2.136* Ripping game but a lot of grind to move on game needs more coins or more waves and they don’t fix the problems with the game. They’re absolutely not available. They send you vague replies when you complain about how the game is either laggy or it doesn’t work correctly and all they say is oh they’re a little tougher you can win them and it’s they want you to buy coin ### 1/5 — Донатная помойка *2025-10-25* Данная игра специально сделана так , чтобы в нее донатили. Суть в том , что без доната в один момент вы просто не сможете проходить уровни . ### 1/5 — Такое себе *2025-10-18* Игра тупо не интересная, по началу нормально вроде но через час надоедает, третий уровень не проходимый ### 1/5 — Progress Blocked *2025-04-02, version 1.2.132* The game has good bones but once you get to a certain level, progression stops. You only get a few attempts to pass a level and then have to wait for more attempts after a timer. To upgrade your towers in order to pass the level you need successful attempts. But clearing previously passed levels only give you a couple of credits for upgrades at a time. I’ve been trying to pass the same level for almost a week and I’ve lost interest in the game. ### 1/5 — You do have to pay to play *2025-01-27, version 1.2.132* You’ll eventually reach a point in game play where you have to spend money to advance to the next level. I’ve been stuck on an unbeatable level for two months. I eventually gave up, you can’t beat it without spending money to advance ### 1/5 — P2w *2024-07-04, version 1.2.128* Dont waste your time! ### 1/5 — Донатная ерунда *2024-04-20* Графически интересная , но без донатов невозможно играть. В общем и целом получилось ужасно. ### 1/5 — Разработчики - добавьте бесплатные кристаллы! *2024-04-08* Игра не плохая, но все портит алгоритм игры! Новые кристаллы дают только при прохождении нового уровня. Засрал на 3-ей главе и чтобы пройти дальше нужна прокачка за кристаллы, которые дают за прохождение нового уровня). Все - стена. В игре есть разные достижения, которая присваивает сама игра - почему бы за них не давать кристаллы? Добавить рекламу немного, 1 раз в день давать кристаллы, но нет. Их никак не качнуть, хотя бы давали их за прохождение тех же уровней, но опять же нет. Выбор Либо донат либо удалять. Я выбираю попрощаться с этой игрой. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ***** *2026-08-16, version 1.2.136* 5* - 11/10 - would be good to see 1 or 2 new towers max. ### 5/5 — fire game *2026-08-09, version 1.2.136* not a copy and paste of other TDs so W game ### 5/5 — SAB *2026-07-11, version 1.2.136* Fun game. I don’t play games much. But I like this one. ### 5/5 — Addictive *2026-06-15, version 1.2.136* I never played a tower defense game before, this was a lot of fun. ### 5/5 — J *2026-05-05, version 1.2.136* This game is the bomb, a must have for the collection. Best of all no ads. Gameplay smooth with great graphics. Nice tower defense. ### 5/5 — Great tower defense game *2026-04-26, version 1.2.136* Just a classic tower defense game! Would definitely recommend it, very fun! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-22, version 1.2.136* Good ### 5/5 — Интересненько *2026-04-22* Мне нравиться, в мерц сложно ### 5/5 — Хорошая игра *2026-04-18* Очень нравится,только сделайте набор энергетиков чуть побыстрее))) ### 5/5 — На самом деле ТЫ ничего не понял… *2026-04-16* Всем тем, кто тут пишет о донатах, скорее всего не удалось додуматься до обычного способа прохождения игры и добычи алмазов… конечно этот вариант занимает порой много времени, но если вы так не сделали - значит вы не фанат игр в жанре дефенс! Вы спокойно можете пройти прошлые уровни и пособирать монетки, что бы потом они стали кристаллами! Ой всё вот так просто. Я уже третий раз прохожу игру, с периодичностью в несколько лет. Потому что на этой платформе просто нет настолько качественных и интересных игр этого жанра! И как фанат - я не устаю проходить по много раз одни и те же уровни, я просто пробую разные комбинации расположений башен, прокачку и так далее. Жаль, что так много плохих отзывов тут накидали…. Ведь это лучшее что можно скачать в эпстор! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
