### 5/5 — Fun

*2023-07-20, version 1.5.1*

Fun game

### 1/5 — Junky micropayment game

*2022-07-30, version 1.5.1*

Title says it all. Pay the tax, keep progressing.

### 5/5 — Great TD game with rpg elements

*2022-04-11, version 1.5.1*

Great TD game with rpg elements 

Not too dodgy with the cost

### 1/5 — Load of rubbish

*2022-03-09, version 1.5.1*

Game keeps freezing.  Tutorial is long winded and not much help.

### 5/5 — Fun and a little quirky

*2021-11-09, version 1.5.1*

It’s a good blend of action and tower defence. Some aspects are a little confusing but you learn as you go. Fun upgrading your character and building your towers. There is also a magic system that is fun to customize and progress through. ALSO NO ADS!? You had me at hello!

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-05-30, version 1.5.1*

Fun game and different from most tower defense games. You don’t have to spend a bundle of money to do well. If you spend 2 or 3 dollars to get a special set you will Rock the game.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-05-29, version 1.5.1*

Really enjoyable defence game.

Very engrossing.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-06-06, version 1.5.1*

Everything a good tower defense should have

### 5/5 — The game is starting out fun.

*2020-04-05, version 1.5.1*

Still only an hour or so into it currently but it has been fun.

### 4/5 — quite fun

*2020-01-23, version 1.5.1*

Would have given 5 stars if there were more maps/missions--and if it had been updated recently (true rating is probably really 4.5 stars). Really like this TD/RPG blended game. It is great that you can succeed without having to do IAPs, though it can be a bit of a grind, particularly on certain maps. The fact that there are 3 difficulty levels for each map, and the different difficulty levels tweak the maps or towers available, partially makes up for the lack of maps. With a couple changes/additions would absolutely increase rating to 5 stars. Those changes are: 1) more maps! 2) Have better equipment available in the in-game store that can be purchased with in-game currency. I seem to be topped out on swords and the armor and jewelry never gets beyond a certain level, either. There should be some really cool things that show up once in a while, whether in the store or dropped during battles. 3) Update the game! I’d like to be able to continue to play this game but, since it hasn’t been updated since 2015 and I’ve finished every map at every difficulty level, I’ll probably lose interest fairly soon and there will also come a day when it will no longer work on current iOSs. I’d really like to keep playing though and a couple of enhancements could guarantee that! At one point this was a paid app but now it looks like it might be free so I'm afraid I may be out of luck on the updates, etc but I hope not!
