Kinda disappointed on how chaotic the Version 2 of this is. I hope they come back to this game and add more stuff. ### 2/5 — IDK *2025-08-22, version 1.6.9* I like survival, really fun, had to pay a little bit of real money to get ahead of levels. Then it was really fun again. Then mineral deposits ran out, would be nice if more could spawn. I thought that was going to happen, kind of a important part of the game. ### 4/5 — Please add controller support *2025-07-04, version 1.6.9* Other then that it’s perfect ### 4/5 — wher is ebery one *2025-04-29, version 1.6.9* is this game dead 😔😔 ### 5/5 — Love the game, but wish I could upgrade the riot shield. *2025-04-26, version 1.6.9* The riot shield is lacking in damage, if I could upgrade it that’d be awesome. ### 5/5 — Great game, one issue *2025-03-18, version 1.6.9* Update: The devs actually updated the game and fixed the issue I had been having! Definitely five stars! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2025-03-14, version 1.6.9* One of my go to mobile games for yearssssss, love it team! ### 5/5 — Controller support please? *2024-12-21, version 1.6.9* It would be very cool if you guys made it so Bluetooth or connected controllers worked for this game ### 5/5 — Still a good game *2024-11-22, version 1.6.9* Finally an update after 5 years :3 ### 5/5 — me ok *2024-10-15, version 1.6.8* I get skare when green evil guy hit me pls make not skarie ples :(😢😢 ### 4/5 — Bug *2024-10-12, version 1.6.8* Years later I’m still playing the game but I noticed that when I close the app it doesn’t save me progress. Like xp, materials, and even store purchases. ### 4/5 — UPDATE!!! *2024-10-09, version 1.6.8* I still play this game and bought it back in 2014, And I want it to be updated again, because I found a bug, the save games deleted for no reason, I think it is a bug, please update the game! I had Hours of hard work on those Save games! ### 5/5 — Such A good game *2024-10-08, version 1.6.8* I’m a big fan of block fortress it brings back memories it would be more fun if there were human allies that could help you battle the enemies Developer if your reading this the game is amazing and keep it up 👍 with the good work ### 4/5 — Great game, one issue *2024-09-30, version 1.6.8* Really a legendary game, however there is a glitch that keeps preventing me from getting past level 10. Every time I get my character beyond level 10, the next time I open the game, my level and minerals are reset back to what they were when I was level 10. ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-08-26, version 1.6.8* Is the creator of this game still gonna work on this game ### 3/5 — Sad glitch *2024-07-18, version 1.6.8* The game breaks when trying to play coop with my brother. When we ready up for a game and we are waiting for the other player, when they ready up the game does 1 of 4 things 1. It loads for one player and crashes for the other 2. It crashes for both 3 it sends us both to a black screen where if we interact with the camera, it will crash 4. One players screen will load and he can play, but the other player gets the black screen as mentioned above. The game probably is already dead, but I should leave this here anyway. It was a good game though. ### 4/5 — The second best of the series *2024-06-09, version 1.6.8* This is a extremely repetitive game in all honestly however that does not mean its not enjoyable it may not be as good as block fortress war however this game is still fun in places for example the mods you can (probably i have never gotten that far) make some very chaotic fun and powerful weapons to use as well as create some very powerful defences theres honestly not much i have to say about this game since it is so simple however that does not make it bad and besides it being repetitive isnt that bad after all it is the first in the series block fortress war is still the best however (EDIT: game broke after i did co-op multiplayer and crashed every time i click on “rewards”) ### 5/5 — Despite the bugs… *2024-06-06, version 1.6.8* Though yes, this game has quite a few bugs, including that one that resets your data (though i have found a way around that), this game is still amazing to this day. Also it would be really nice if you guys could fix the issue ### 4/5 — Still pretty good *2024-06-03, version 1.6.8* Despite the developers abandoning this game 4 years ago with bugs here and there, it is still a good game. Worth $3 though? Maybe? It is still a decent game that could’ve had more potential if the devs kept updating it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t Buy *2026-02-01, version 1.6.10* I bought this game for the multiplayer, but it causes the app to crash and there is no way to reenter the match. You can effectively never play a full game. ### 1/5 — it wont even save on ipad pro. *2022-10-25, version 1.6.8* my progress doesnt save, at all ### 1/5 — Game continues to crash *2022-05-18, version 1.6.8* The game crashes before it even starts… I’ve restarted my phone, done the latest software updates and uninstalled and reinstalled. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — 課金したのに反映されない *2022-03-31* 運営さん、なんとかしてください。 ### 1/5 — You need to fix your purchasing *2022-01-31, version 1.6.8* You really need to fix your stupid purchasing methods ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save *2021-11-10, version 1.6.8* A great game, but will frequently remove your progress. The game changed me from level 26 to level 21 for no apparent reason. ### 1/5 — SCAMMED *2021-09-18, version 1.6.8* It erased everything I had, including my brand new purchase ### 1/5 — Doesn’t always save *2021-07-22, version 1.6.8* Over half the time the game doesn’t save and you lose your progress. So unless you want to deal with the frustrating experience of a game that randomly loses your progress stay away from this game and don’t waste your money like I did. ### 1/5 — Good game bad developers *2021-06-24, version 1.6.8* This game has been around for a while now, and it’s not a bad game. The problem is nothing saves. After spending an hour on a game I’ll leave and save, and when I come back I’m on level 1. Also in the main menu the mineral crafts never save as every time I load back Into the game I get them all back. Either way it’s not a bad game but it needs serious work. ### 1/5 — download sandbox maps stucked in loading page *2021-03-02, version 1.6.8* are your servers down? im stucked in loading page after i select sandbox > download/upload map ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vale la pena *2025-09-04, version 1.6.9* No sé qué decir la verdad, es un juego que vale lo que cuesta y mucho más ### 5/5 — Still fire a decade later *2025-09-01, version 1.6.9* Great game bought it again still fun! No adds! Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-09-01, version 1.6.9* Used to play this back when it first came out, just hopped on recently as of the news of block fortress 2, very excited to play that in September hopefully, but the og is such a great game still , brings back so many good memories of my childhood. Absolutely wonderful game ### 5/5 — lol *2025-07-27, version 1.6.9* Pls add controller support it will make life easier ### 5/5 — Greatest games ever *2025-07-15, version 1.6.9* If they see this it would be great but these games made my childhood these are truly amazing games deserves way more players than it gets ### 5/5 — THANK YOUU *2025-07-10, version 1.6.9* God i love it when devs come back to a game they haven’t updated in years and fix a gamebreaking bug, thank you so much for fixing that data loss bug!! ### 5/5 — The best sandbox game ever. *2025-06-26, version 1.6.9* This game was the first sandbox game with leveling up that wasn’t boring! Most sandbox games needed hours of boring gameplay on a story mode but this game lets you make your own story, your own base, and your own challenge to level up your character without getting bored, and nothing about is disappointing at all, none of it, just a pure and fun way to make bases, learn from your defeat and so much more! I love it, but I can get Block fortress 2 on the device I’m on cuz I’m both broke and can’t get a iPhone or android, so I’m really hoping this game could keep getting new things added, but not too much as it would distract developers and stuff from developing block fortress 2 to be a great game, so I’d really like for small but nice updates, maybe add infantry for a start? ### 5/5 — Nach 10 Jahren wiedergefunden - Banger! *2025-06-05* Das Spiel war damals gut und es fühlt sich so gut an da wieder reinzugrinden. Einer der besten Tower Defense Games für das iPad ever! ### 5/5 — Gonna play 2 *2025-05-31, version 1.6.9* I made a cringe review years ago and I just had to delete it. Anyways, this game is great, and they made a second one on steam that I’m gonna play. ### 5/5 — ブロックフォートレスの続編出たぞ！だけど... *2025-05-05* まず自分はこのゲームの1人のファンでこのゲームを楽しんでやっています。またタワーディフェンスとはまた一味違うゲームで、楽しんでもらっています、 そしてそのゲームの続編がでた！という事で自分は大変楽しみにしていました。 しかしその続編がSteamにある事なので私はPCが無く、続編が遊べません。 そこで少し自分のわがままでは有りますが、 Appleストアで続編売って下さい！！お願いします！🙇 運営さん本当にお願いします！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
