### 5/5 — Идеалети

*2026-02-07*

Огромное уважение разрабам и этим все сказано

### 2/5 — Poor balance

*2025-11-29, version 2.1.10*

I mean pretty simple most attacking items are too OP resulting in defensive builds relying on similar builds or cheesing

### 5/5 — I love this game but there’s something I wish it had

*2025-04-13, version 2.1.10*

I absolutely love this game but I feel it’s missing something, namely long range artillery like the howitzer like from the first two games

### 5/5 — new update?

*2024-12-05, version 2.1.10*

this game needs a real update and not just bug fixes and i swear on my life this game will get more popular

### 5/5 — Mon jeu préféré de loin

*2024-12-05*

Une manière de créer ses défenses très simple et à la fois intelligente. Un plaisir de voir sa base attaquée et de voir si nos défenses ont bien été placées

### 5/5 — Incrível

*2024-11-30*

Vale a pena 👍

### 5/5 — お願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願いお願い

*2024-11-10*

オンラインバトル追加してえええええええeえええええええええええ！！！！！

### 5/5 — 皆集まってくれぇ！

*2024-11-03*

戦略を攻めも守りもじっくり組んで
攻略･防衛に成功した時は一興。
しばらく触れて分かる楽しさがある。
建築とかそっち好きなら尚更。
被弾覚悟で派手に攻めるも逐一相手の設備を
破壊して堅実に行くのも自由。
防衛も砲塔置きまくって堂々と構えるのも
罠回路組んで相手を窮地に貶めるのも良い。

短所として:
(人口が) ないです...
見かけに反して良いゲームだゾ。
頼むからこのゲームで皆の独創性溢れる且つ
難攻不落の要塞を見せて欲しい。
  ブロックフォートレス、やろう！

### 1/5 — 中盤から飽きます

*2024-09-23*

序盤は非常に面白く、建築なども楽しめました。
しかしレベルが上がるにつれ防衛側に意味分からんぐらい強い兵器がどんどん追加されます。
特に「アースシェイカー」に関しては本当に頭がおかしいです。
攻撃範囲、威力、レート、全てにおいて最凶です。
これのせいでストレスが貯まります。

### 5/5 — TAKE OUT WHITE FLASHES

*2024-07-29, version 2.1.9*

AMAZING GAME BUT EVERY GOSH DARN MENU I SWITCH FLASHES ME WITH PURE WHITE LIGHT, PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU TURN IT OFF OR ADD A OPTION OR ANYTHING PLSSS MY EYES T-T
