Doesn’t give hints, can’t skip levels, TOO OVERPOWERED ENEMYS AND EXPENCIVE UNITS! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-07-21, version 1.0.1* Terrible ### 1/5 — Meh. *2019-06-29* Not very balanced at all. ### 1/5 — Level 13 *2019-04-24* Really. ### 2/5 — Impossible *2021-07-07* When I got to 13 I had no way to beat it bad game ### 2/5 — Zombie. Battle simulator *2019-07-09* I think zombie battle simulator is fun but if the developers added a sandbox to this game , and more levels to the campaign, it will be allot more fun than just 30 levels of campaign, they were pretty easy, not just for me but I think everyone else that is playing this game , thinks it’s easy to, when they finish or not. That is why I rated this game a one star , and the graphics are not bad, but they are really bad. ### 2/5 — Fix *2018-11-22* Level 13 is impossible there is no way to beat it it’s annoying ### 3/5 — Game needs work. *2023-06-17* A limit to how much units you can place is ridiculous, because later levels have more tougher enemies. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2022-01-22* This is kind of like a game of chess with a lot more action. Selecting the correct fighters and arranging them is so much fun. The developer deserves a tremendous amount of credit. Really this is a masterpiece. I would be willing to pay handsomely for a similar game that plays just exactly as the stars but is somehow different. maybe a sequel or playing in a different environment. The last few years I have probably played two hundreds rounds. I have completed the game many times and it is a blast to try to figure out which fighters belong where and how to use them. Thank you so much for this fantastic game. ### 5/5 — Fix the sound! *2021-06-28* Fix the sound! I put it on silent and it dose not work I am trying to watch a movie here!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great game but I’ve got a idea *2018-09-03* This game is so fun but there’s a problem after level 12 the game is almost impossible but other than that it’s fun and what if there was base defense or sandbox with different maps and you could place anywhere or maybe even a boss mode where there’s only bosses that would be so awesome other than that awesome game you’ve done a great job ### 5/5 — Endless? *2018-06-23* Dude make an endless mode or like a base defense mode and this would be kickass through and through ### 4/5 — Level 13 is impossible *2020-06-13* Was fun for the first few levels, but once you get to 13, it’s ridiculous. The unit cap and low money available means you dont have enough units to beat the tougher enemies and get through the second wave. ### 4/5 — Good game *2019-03-26* Sooo good and fun to play ### 4/5 — Add a sandbox mode *2018-09-03* The game is great but a sandbox mode to mess around in would be fun ### 4/5 — Cool but *2018-07-03* Please add a custom mode ### 3/5 — READ!!! *2020-03-27* Please allow the player to interact with the defenders. Also it would be great if you could make a custom so that the players could create their own matches. Finally, more types of defenders and more levels...... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
