Hate the ads ### 3/5 — Needs work *2026-08-24, version 1.053* It’s a fun game to play but needs some more work mainly with optimisation. Some games I spend more time reconnecting to matches with how laggy it gets and it drains your phone’s battery fast. But besides that, worth playing. ### 2/5 — Interrupted game play *2026-08-19, version 1.053* Constant ads after each game. App deleted. ### 3/5 — Need optimization *2026-08-12, version 1.053* It's a cool game but need a lot of optimization, it keep freezing, I lost a battle because of that. ### 3/5 — 아이폰뜨거워져서 힘듬 *2026-08-07* 배터리가 너무 빨리 달고 이거 최적화가 안 돼 있는 거 같은 데 문제가 있는데 재밌게 하고 싶은데 조금 하다 보면 너무 뜨겁고 배터리가 빨리 달아서 못 하겠어요 ### 2/5 — Pop ups and forced ads *2026-08-02, version 1.052* I was enjoying this game until every match I keep getting forced ads. Also the amount of pop ups to advertise spending money on in game currency is annoying! Cut back on the ads! ### 1/5 — 하지마세요.. 비추합니다. *2026-08-01* 매일 광고 30분씩봐야해요 ㅋ 그리고 절대 유료결제 하지 마세요. 필수 아이템은 모두 유료로만 얻을 수 있어요 ㅎ 과금을 한다해도 업그레이드를 해야하고 결국 업그레이드를 위해 계속 과금을 해야합니다. 무료료는 꿈도 꾸지 마세요 ㅎㅎ 무엇보다 과금을 하더라도 매칭 자체를 더 강한 대상과 매칭을 합니다. 그럼 더 과금을 해야하고.. ㅎ 무엇보다 패배해도 레벨은 올라서 과금하지 않으면 레벨만 오르게되어 아이템은 부실하고 강한대상하고만 붙게되어 호구만 됩니다. ㅎ 그냥 게임 앱 삭제합니다. 참고로 부하가 커서 잘열이 엄청나요. 광고도 엄청 길어서 카운트는 30초인데 1분 30초를 대부분 넘깁니다. 광고게임은 패스가 정답이에요 ㅎ **Developer response:** 우리는 당신의 피드백을 소중히 여깁니다. Arcane Arena는 전략이 승리의 핵심이며, 우리는 커뮤니티 의견을 바탕으로 지속적으로 밸런스를 조정하고 있습니다. 성능 이슈는 인게임 지원 시스템을 통해 문의해 주시면 조사해 드리겠습니다. 언제든 돌아와 주시길 바랍니다. ### 1/5 — Beware *2026-07-31, version 1.052* I spent almost $150 at this game across 2 months. Fun, but the algorithm will create hurdle for you to either pay cash and make you lose to your opponents in ridiculous draws during game that made you think it’s time to spend more. I do not short of money hence has been staying in games for ‘months. Time to stop :) ### 2/5 — Ruined it *2026-07-29, version 1.052* Been playing daily for about a year. One of my fav games but you have ruined it. It’s impossible to win when the opponent is using gems for extra cards multiple times in a game. Basically if you don’t buy gems you can’t win. Unfortunate ### 3/5 — 재미있는 디펜스 전략 대전 게임 *2026-07-25* 재미있는 디펜스 전략 대전 게임입니다. 그러나, 발열이 매우 심함. 왜 디펜스게임이 이렇게 뜨거워져야 하는지 이해가지 않음. 게입실행시 업데이트가 필요하다고 뜨나 앱스토어에는 업데이트가 없음. 1.051버전인데 1.050버전업그레이드가 필요하다고 뜨며 더 이상 진행 못 함. ### 4/5 — Lagging *2026-07-22, version 1.051* Love this game but the lag at times is awful. Causing me to lose games as I can’t place towers or things are catching up. Please fix this. It’s the only game I play that has an awful lag at times. ### 4/5 — Jeu *2026-07-21* Excellent jeu ### 1/5 — Anúncios e o jogo travando *2026-07-21* Depois de uma semana jogando, aparece um anúncio a cada partida, e prepare-se para no final da partida o jogo travar. Lamentável… ### 3/5 — Games been good this month *2026-07-20, version 1.051* Hats off the the developers. Game had a lot of issues in the past as far as pairing you with opponents that were 2-3 levels above you. Gabe still has its moments. But overall it’s been a lot more rare I’m having to battle someone completely out of my league. ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-07-20, version 1.051* They just started putting ads now have every match your forced to watch an ad PLUS constantly trying to make you buy different packages. Would not recommend take these two things away. It would be pretty fun game. ### 3/5 — Update *2026-07-17, version 1.051* Horrible update makes you watch an ad after every match super annoying was a really fun game the level disparity throws things off a little but also feels like you can beat someone with a good strategy most of the time you won’t win much if you don’t pay ### 4/5 — Good game but need modifications *2026-07-16, version 1.051* Very entertaining game but need to balance the game with the cards to pick in your deck. And also ALWAYS, ALWAYS IS GOING to win the one who use Gems for extra powers in a Game. The game need more balance to be more competitive ### 3/5 — Great game, Terrible ADs *2026-07-10, version 1.051* So the game in itself is fun, a slow grind. However my biggest gripe is the sheer amount of “free” ads to review for each category, how long those Ads take, and then sitting there waiting on the X or not interested for the “basic” reward your getting. ADs are apart of all games and most are 30-60 secs but I should have to wait another 30-60 to exit it to get my reward ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — People just buy wins *2026-09-07, version 1.053* If you’re going to allow people to buy their wins by turning opponents to sheep you should give the other side something better to say to them other than haha. How about a money sign emoji? Pretty ridiculous to even offer that ability. Again playing favorites certain players. And the ones the spend money. Pretty cool!!! ### 1/5 — Unfair gameplay *2026-09-05, version 1.053* The game decides to not to give you your tower in a game when you block your opponent way! Like if I’m playing to let my opponent do whatever they want! I’m there to use whatever I have to win the game, but the game has a brain behind it, the towers given are not random! ### 1/5 — Dumbest game ever *2026-09-05, version 1.053* At first I thought this game was cool now I just think it’s stupid dumb and just annoying when you are able to block people from building roads I think you need to do better in this game and fix that let alone I think you should be able to break things that is in your way aka the enemies guns and road that is in your path…….. 😑 ### 1/5 — Stuck unless I pay more money *2026-09-01, version 1.053* Already sunk money in to get started. Now I am stuck in an arena where I can’t win a single battle. This is a scam to get players to spend more money. Complete ripoff. ### 1/5 — Leave a bad review, get more adds Money suck. Nothing like the ads *2026-08-26, version 1.053* UPDATE: now that I’ve left a bad review every time I’m forced to watch an ad it’s now 3 ads instead of one. Time to delete. The game actually is kind of fun for about a week. The. You get hit with forced ads. You get 6 weapons at a time, but as you continue the game, as you draw cards the game will just not let you select some of them. Won’t even offer during play. As it’s nothing but their systems dealing cards, you are at their mercy on what you get and when they decide they want you to lose, you lose. They are trying to get you to spend money, but I don’t see why anyone would since you clearly get stonewalled by the devs and your purchases become worthless when they say. ### 1/5 — Literally an exact rip of SuperCell games *2026-08-20, version 1.053* Predatory design, stealing from the top game company on iOS. Menu, card system, chests, everything looks like Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, etc. ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2026-08-15, version 1.053* The game is strictly pay to play don’t waste your time or money ### 1/5 — People just buy wins *2026-08-11, version 1.053* If you’re going to allow people to buy their wins by turning opponents to sheep you should give the other side something better to say to them other than haha. How about a money sign emoji? Pretty ridiculous to even offer that ability. Again favoring the stronger and players. And the ones the spend money. Pretty cool!!! ### 1/5 — Latest update awful *2026-08-11, version 1.053* Loading screen now 4-6 times longer. In most cases I have to quit the game as it hangs forever. Why does every update make my device hotter? Game is now in the cusp of getting deleted off my advice. ### 1/5 — Avoid, invest time elsewhere *2026-08-09, version 1.052* Decent game until you hit 2,000 trophies. Then the system just matches you endlessly with people you’re not going to be able to beat. I’m pretty much quitting after spending $20 total. If I’m cancelling 14 out of 15 games I match, because opponent castle has 5-10k more hp, which means their level is 5 or more over mine and their towers are way more powerful, that’s a problem. Not spending even more $ to catch up, gap too wide. If they fixed the matching, based it on tower level and castle hp/power, might be more competitive/strategic and playable. Right now, post 2,000 trophies, it’s not a playable or fun game. Needs a matching system, I don’t think there is one, just open matching. You can get obliterated by someone that only bothers putting out 3-4 towers because of the power gap. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2026-08-05, version 1.052* Www ### 5/5 — Ошибка сети *2026-07-30* В игру не заходит ### 5/5 — Epic *2026-07-10, version 1.051* Good ### 5/5 — Love the game, made a forum *2026-07-08, version 1.051* This game is so fun that I created my own unofficial forum for it. I first started out with the $20 per month to upgrade towers through Arcane Supplies Chests as my focus and remove ads (plus other benefits like downgrading), and then I upgraded to the $30 subscription. ### 5/5 — Love the game, made a forum *2026-06-30, version 1.051* This game is so fun that I created my own unofficial forum arcane-arena-TD.Freeforums.net I went for the $20 per month to upgrade towers as my focus. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-06-06* Good 업그레이드 그레픽 ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-04-27, version 1.050* awesome game. everything about it is amazing, graphics, levels, characters, boosters, upgrades… and finally there is sound. ### 5/5 — Ubelievably Good and no need to spend a penny! *2026-03-16, version 1.040* It’s that good!!! I’m sorry but Nothing comes close!!! I’m absolutely surprised it doesn’t have 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Good but need something *2026-03-16* I play daily but it should have more heroes upgrades. Moreover whenever the enemy loses the game should not end it should end when your castle gets broke ### 5/5 — Ошибка сети *2026-03-02* Не заходит, пишет ошибка сети --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
