Laser man and laser abusers and ice man character

I’ve never left an Apple Store review ever until today. I understand yall just did the update and some of the characters lost power. But laser man and the other laser characters are so OP it’s ridiculous. People will literally use the flying laser man or the other 2 laser characters over and over and over. Even the ice man character At that point you can’t do anything. Of course if they keep hitting the same spot with the laser over and over it will destroy ur castle in seconds. They seriously have to be nerfed or completely taken out. It’s to the point where you can’t even play the game or enjoy it by using the other characters because people use him or the ice man so much. Like I said if you keep using the ice man attack ur castle is destroyed within seconds. It doesn’t even require skill. I really like this game. But it makes it to the point where you don’t even want to go against someone who has those characters. The guy I just played used them over and over and over the entire match. Lucky he still lost. But man they have to go or be nerfed to such a low power level. It truly isn’t fair to the ones who use all the other characters.

Undue the update and balance the horrible matchmaking fix ur game

Bro can you guys make up your mind, this game has had three major updates in the last three months. The last update was fine I even liked the new emotes but now not only was my progress decreased, I get less materials after every match, and you increase the amount of wood required per upgrade?? How does that make any sense. I wouldnt be complaining about this at all if you guys could put any effort into fixing the horrible matchmaking you guys have set up. With the new update my units are around level 30, why am I getting matched up with maxed out castles and opponents? Like I get the challenge even though it’s clear more then half of them are bots, but explain this to me If I beat a maxed out opponent at level 30 what would even motivate me to upgrade my troops or castle any more?? Pls make it make sense, & on top do that with the new update it’s gonna take me days to just upgrade one square of my castle I’m getting 300 wood after every match like yall are stingy with the wood for what??? im lvl 30 clearing your top bots yall really expect me to win 40+ matches to to upgrade one castle tile??, its just boring atp you guys are just straight up just adding more delays and calling it “more challenging” bffr just fix your game

Coliseum mode needs work

Don’t get me wrong, this is a fun game, and once you figure out the best placement for your units, you can become virtually unstoppable. That said, don’t play in coliseum mode until you have everything maxed out (units, helpers, and castle walls) if you want a fair fight. The game creators say everyone starts on an “even playing field” with 1000 trophies and you go up or down from there. Truthfully, I have a good castle, some fully blue walls, units in the upper 50s and 60s and a 92.6% win rate (which is actually lower than it was before coliseum mode). But the match making algorithm keeps putting me against fully maxed out opponents. I don’t have a chance and have taken several losses. Needless to say, I won’t be back in coliseum mode until I have everything maxed.

Updated 10/29…
Since the new update, the game is even worse. It takes forever to earn coins the old fashioned way, so now I’m going to have to spend money if I want to level up my castle. The new level system is trash, devs say they are lower levels but hit just as hard, but that’s a lie. It used to be a good game, but they’re trying to fix something that wasn’t broken and now it’s a mediocre game at best. Not fair, pay-to-win, slow development, slow rank up… just avoid this game. It’s sad, because the amount of good reviews they had before the last update should’ve told them not to touch it. They touched it, and now the bad reviews are flooding in. I hope the devs are paying attention.

Hackers Galore

Don’t waste your money, this game is full of dirty hackers. Their units do 2-3 times normal damage and if you get close to a win they disconnect you. When you report this to the devs, you get no reply, just automated responses. Save your money.

Nerfed my progress?

Been playing this for a couple of weeks and recently noticed that all my characters had been levelled down and that it’s way more expensive in game to level back up even with the small compensation you’re given in loot, this made no sense… it’s clearly a money grab and it would have been bad enough to change the in game cost to progress but straight up pushing peoples progress back seems totally unreasonable

Fun game but the Ads don’t reward you.

I like the game. It’s fun. Build your moving castle. Level up you guys. 1v1 battles with others. All great. It’s got a lot of pay to upgrade quickly functions, common, but doesn’t destroy the game. However!! If you agree to watch an Advertisement for a bonus or free thing. The ad goes on and on and you never get the reward. It’s a pain and the devs need to fix it

The new update 👎🏻

Spending so much time playing the game and getting in it, to half all the powers, I feel has ruined it for me, was a good game up until the last update.

👎

I think the latest update has ruined the game. It was much more enjoyable when you could deal more damage. After several battles, it’s now extremely difficult to destroy an entire castle, let alone kill all enemy units. A big downgrade in my opinion.

Last update broke the game

Was enjoying it up until your last update which seems to have made all attacks weak and take forever to do damage boring now as it’s hard to even clear the castle at all so you win by percentage.

Very stupid update

Makes everything unfair

New update

The new update seems a little pointless and has made the overall gameplay less fun/entertaining. Damage has been taken way down and now seems like there’s not enough rounds to destroy their castle. It’s a shame as it be game was very enjoyable beforehand.

Update

Was a brilliant game until the update, halved the levels of every character but not their power apparently, yet most games now end up without a castle being destroyed, it’s rubbish. Also bomber seems to have a pea shooter now, causes barely any damage compared to before.

What is this?

The game is amazing, very addictive and I started a mini Road To Glory series where I don’t buy no coins and put 100% of the work in. However the new update is the total opposite of this. I nearly maxed out my units only to find out that they’ve all been degraded. It just makes it demotivating to play this game to the point that I’m no longer playing it NOR, should I return, would I upgrade my units as clearly it will disappear. Hard work for nothing.

Was a good game till they updated it and changed everything

Deleted instantly as soon as they updates

Honestly one of the best games

I fell completely out of love with mobile games, then came across this and just got hooked. Not in a bad way either I play ever day but haven’t spent a penny, the game is genuinely fun, progression is good and not gate kept behind paywalls etc. Yes you can “pay to win” here but absolutely no need to at all.

Honestly, it’s a great game

Weaker units

With the reduced power in the new upgrade, most the attacks of the units are going weak. My units were at 80-87 levels and attacks used to be powerful. Now, it feels weak again. I will wait for another update if it’s getting fixed, otherwise I will just uninstall it.

Down hill recently

No point playing against people that have paid for add ons, it’s far too heavily weighted in their favour, deleting the game when I publish this

Fun with a tax

The game is actually a lot of fun and I tend to get bored quickly a mobile games. However, the way this is set up is pretty good as your versus other people versus instead of an NPV system.

The reason I’m giving it three stars is because most of my time in the game is spent watching ads rather than actually playing the game.

I would actually put in money in to the game to pick up a few cool things as I don’t mind skipping one or both of a month to do this. However, the amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous to the point where it’s ruining the game. You watch ads to get rewards you watch ads to get double loot and it just keeps going and some of the ads get stuck and you have to close out the game and you lose the bonus rewards or whatever it is you’re watching the ad for.

The game will do better if they reduce the ads or they simply put a system or instead of charging people $10 to get no ads for a week you instead have them watch a 3 to 5 minute and then for the rest of the day, you have no more ads.

This is what the taxes if you want to enjoy the game you will, but you’re gonna have to watch a bunch of ads.

I’d love to talk to more about this and give more positives, but I don’t wanna hype up a game that’s pushing so much ads and then on top of it, wants you to spend money on other things.

Upgrade is poor

Now that they’ve upgraded and halved everyone’s ratings it’s poor - each game is followed by ads - what a shame - used to be good - rubbish now

Honest player!

The game itself is okay. It’s quite addictive and really eats up your time, but there aren’t many options for customizing your castle or characters. Once you build your castle, you can’t change its configuration, and there’s no real flexibility in how you set up your offensive and defensive strategies. Most of the characters also feel pretty basic, with many of them doing essentially the same thing. The game has potential, but it needs more customization, strategic depth, and unique character abilities to make it more engaging in the long run. Than to top if off all my Top tier characters were down graded from legendary to epic ??!!!! And even their levels . How is that fair after spending so much time playing and spending the effort to improve their performance. Smh so much for a good game . Really disappointed at least if you’re gonna do an update, keep them at the same level or where they’re at already! Then you buy a package that were legendary at first and now you downgrade them too epic so do I just get a refund that you guys sold me characters that were legendary and not epic?!!! and then you even change the cars that now you gotta buy three different cards for different level characters, which is so dumb when it was so do I get a payback or something for spending all that money at this point? You might just call it a money hungry game
