This game is super duper good but I need more to conquer! map one was awesome but we need another one

### 5/5 — Отличная игруха

*2025-02-03*

Мне понравилось, но недостаточно сложно

### 5/5 — We did it

*2024-10-19, version 1.0.72*

It’s not often that you find a genuinely amazing game on the App Store, however this game has drop strategies, interesting gameplay, minimal ad integration and most importantly the price for the “full game” is less than $5, mind you, you can access 95% of the games content without spending anything so it’s a great experience for free players and paid players. Give this one a try and I guarantee you’ll have fun.

### 5/5 — Love this developer

*2024-08-08, version 1.0.72*

In the context of mobile games, seeing “Ads and data collection removed from the game” must be a 1 in a million, especially when the game itself is solid and clean. I’d play it more if the gameplay was slightly less shallow and unit control was better but this isn’t enough to take it down a star when there’s 0 ads or pop ups.

### 5/5 — Cool little game

*2024-06-21, version 1.0.72*

Finished it in a few hours then went through on hard mode, had a ball. If you like old school resource and combat games like Command and Conquer then you’ll enjoy this

Интересная игра. Можно залипнуть или скоротать время)

### 3/5 — Молодец, но нет

*2024-02-14*

5 за старание 2 за реализацию
-однообразно 
-неудобное управление
-намеренное замедление игрового процесса ради доната

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2023-12-20*

Very fun though the defend mode never felt difficult compared to the battle mode
