Played from 2021-2023 Had a lot of play time. I was in the military at the time and got deployed from November 2022-May 2023 in which i stopped playing. Some time after my return i had got a new phone and saw this game in one of my folders and decided to play it again. Once the game loaded i notice that my characters were gone and there were way fewer servers to play on. I looked into it and found that they did a massive server merge during the time in which i wasnt playing. Now I get server merging and they do have account recovery which in my mind at the time was a breath of fresh air knowing i could potentially get my account back. However to be able to do that you need an Account ID, character name and server number, none of which i had or could remember. My apple ID was accociated with my account but since i cant remember the exact server and ID, restoring my account is pretty much impossible A simple notification pop up from the game itself indicating that a server merge will be taking place and any character data could be lost in the process and tell players to get account info and server numbers prior to the merging would have been helpful. Instead they post about in their discord, which most people are not apart of there for they wont know about it or send a message in the in game mailbox that again only current players will see. This harms returning or players and deters them from wanting to return because they can no longer access the things they worked hard to get or purchased. If you have a game where data is not shared between servers, there need to be more done to accommodate for new, current and returning players ### 1/5 — Brainrot *2024-06-18, version 0.38.0* You want money so bad? ### 1/5 — Estafa *2024-06-17, version 0.38.0* No es nada a lo que te muestra la publicidad no lo descarguen ### 2/5 — Vite nul *2024-06-12, version 0.37.1* Tres bon au depart un avancement interessant et amusant mais tres vite vote gacher par un manque de puissance qui vous bloque dans le jeux encore et encore et encore jusqu'au point de ne plus arriver a passer a dautre niveau niveau. J'ai tenter de communi avec le support pour avoir des conseils et l'unique reponse que jai eux est des remarque condescendante de leur equipe dans le style que d'autre joueur a reussi force toi. Je comprend que dautre joueur a reussi pourrais tu juste mexpliquer pourquoi moi jy arrive pas est quil y aurais des améliorations a faire, ect. Je vous le déconseille fortement ### 1/5 — Another fake add game… *2024-06-11, version 0.37.1* Game may have actually been fun. Played it for like a half hour. Never not once did I see any game play like the adds. If you have to resort to baiting people in with lies then it gets deleted in my opinion. ### 1/5 — Es una estafa *2024-06-09, version 0.37.1* El juego no es nada de lo que dice que es, solo otro juego para sacar dinero ### 1/5 — scamming 🛑🛑 *2024-06-08, version 0.37.1* The game is not the same as the ad ### 1/5 — Another one of THOSE games *2024-06-08, version 0.37.1* Not what they make the game out to be in the ad. ### 1/5 — Fake *2024-06-08, version 0.37.1* Взагалі не то що рекламують ### 1/5 — Gioco scam *2024-06-08, version 0.37.1* Se fosse stato presentato diversamente avrei evitato di scaricarlo, non è un genere che apprezzo. La pubblicità lo presenta in un modo, quando lo inizi diventa un difendi la torre fino a cambiare genere ulteriormente. Mi arrabbio perché il gioco è fatto bene ma pur di ricevere download devono prenderti in giro o devono essere poco chiari su cosa stai scaricando. ### 1/5 — Non scaricatelo *2024-06-07, version 0.37.1* Il gioco non è quello che si vede nella presentazione ### 1/5 — Fake screenshots and ad *2024-06-06, version 0.37.1* This piece of game got nothing in common with screenshots in description on the app store page ### 1/5 — Literally nothing like their ad or photos *2024-06-06, version 0.37.1* Idiot for thinking it’d be like the ad but the photos looked the same so thought it would be but it is this awful tower defence game that is not worth playing at all, sick of developers using fake ads. They’ve also definitely botted or paid someone to create the other reviews ### 1/5 — False advertising *2024-06-03, version 0.37.1* They show a different game. The actual game is some boring game that I’m instantly deleting. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-06-01, version 0.37.1* The advertisement and real game is different and not recommended ### 1/5 — Fake 🤮 *2024-05-31, version 0.37.1* Not same as the advertised ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Плохо *2025-02-07, version 1.8.0* Графика -10 ### 1/5 — Arabic language *2025-01-02, version 1.7.1* Translation in game not support Arabic language ### 1/5 — Avoid *2024-12-14, version 1.6.0* End less moneypit of game, avoid át all cost. ### 1/5 — If you’re a new player, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME *2024-10-09, version 1.4.0* You will not have a chance against older guilds and the devs do not care about game play experience. Lots of players are quitting this game ### 1/5 — The best turned into the worst game *2024-09-02, version 1.2.2* It’s not the game it used to be it used to be a game where you’re supposed to make your squad is a little boring defense game, where you just have to sit around and kill monsters with power ups I’m re-downloading it to see if it got fixed if it didn’t it’s still one star ### 1/5 — Was asked to put $200 more in game to fix devs mistake *2024-08-23, version 1.2.1* I’ll be honest. I quite enjoyed this game for a while and I was paying here and there for the packs and heroes. Got to VIP5. Then suddenly, due to a poor power balance design I get stuck in one of daily levels without an option of quitting it and getting back to daily menu (every time I would open that daily quest, it would be bring me to that level). So the level was not even supposed to be designed to lose it. After going back and forward with the support, the only piece of advice I got from them is to upgrade to the vip level needed to raid this level (finish it automatically), which would require another $200-250. I think it’s a first time the devs demand a customer to pay for the thing they messed up in the first place. Needlessly to say, I’m done. ### 1/5 — fake *2024-07-15, version 1.1.0* nothing like as advertised ### 1/5 — False advertising, terrible game *2024-07-11, version 1.1.0* 1. Nothing like the ads 2. Nothing like the store page 3. Numerous ability glitches in game ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2024-06-30, version 1.0.2* on AppStore are not from the game! ### 1/5 — Not real… AVOID. *2024-06-29, version 1.0.2* This game is so far away from what is advertised. It’s screen shots do not display the actual game. It’s like having a 60yo, that has had a hard life, rock up when you are supposed be going on a date with a 20yo. Fake fake fake. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Try nice game *2025-07-03, version 1.11.0* 5 star ### 5/5 — Ждем русский язык *2025-02-06, version 1.8.0* Очень ждем русский язык ### 5/5 — รีวิวจากคนเล่นมา3ปี *2024-11-16, version 1.5.0* - ระบบเกม Story ไต่ด่านสนุก - จะเล่นเกมนี้ทุนต้องมี สายฟรีอยู่ได้แต่ต้องเล่นกับเพื่อน แนะนำเข้ากลุ่ม FB - เกมแนวดองของแล้วเปิดกาชาตามรอบการันตี - จุดสนุกสุดของเกมอยู่ที่ระบบลีคและเล่นกับเพื่อน ถ้ามาไม่ถึงจุดนี้จบ - S1 คนไทยเยอะ ไม่ต้องกลัวตามไม่ทันหากลุ่มอยู่ก่อน - หากสงสัยอะไรเข้ากลุ่ม FB สอบถามเพิ่ม ### 5/5 — Overall, it's pretty interesting. *2024-06-27, version 1.0.2* So tbh, it is an idle game to begin with. So you'll get whatever you need with time. But if you can't wait then there's always a way 💵. ### 5/5 — Da scaricare! *2024-04-28, version 0.36.0* Meccaniche di gioco simili ad altri, ma stile grafico accattivante e ottima profondità ne fanno un must per gli amanti del genere. Spero che gli sviluppatori continuino ad aggiornarlo e sostenerlo ### 5/5 — สนุกดี *2024-04-06, version 0.35.1* Good game ### 5/5 — Mysterious game *2024-03-12, version 0.34.2* Downloaded this but turned about not to be the game advertised, but is actually a really good game I play it every day, you can spend or not should be advertised for what it is as I rate it 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Greater idle game *2023-12-21, version 0.31.1* Good amount collector when afk, and creative characters. ### 5/5 — Good game *2023-12-01, version 0.31.0* Ggg ### 5/5 — Great adhd game!!! *2023-11-20, version 0.30.1* Best part is NO ADS!!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
